    When did they say that? They reported that he was being investigated for it, which he was, but I don't recall RTÉ taking the position that Trump colluded with Russia.

    Yes they did, they inferred it every single day.

    So they didn't actually say it, merely inferred it by your reckoning.

    Paul Joseph Watson has said on twitter in the last few hours that he wants the Trump administration to step in and take action on his ban. I'm not sure if this is a big joke, or as PJW would say, "honk honk"

    Any evidence of this or are you just making up your own facts?

    I only ask because it sure looks like you're just making stuff up now. Not unlike Alex Jones, strangely enough.

    That's because it's genuinely difficult to polish turds. Even Brexit and Trump friendly media find it very hard to spin those shítshows as something positive.

    How can anyone be biased about the Brexit mess?

    Theresa May is doing a bad job, as a remainer PM why wouldn't she. They never consider the idea that Brexit could be positive for the UK.

    They never consider the possibility that the EU as an institution might be doing some harm.

    They never cover the positive things Trump has done for the USA.

    Government intervention in how a private company operates. Slippery slope, next stop North Korea. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

    Perhaps one of the European Right wing Govts will ban any mention of Transgenderism on social media.

    I'm sure all those who support PJW, Jones etc bans will have no problem with that.

    Sure did - they nearly always have interviews with Democrats asking them about their views on Trump - I don't think it's because they are cynical though they just have a lot of low quality journalists working for them. BBC they ain't. :rolleyes:

    Google is your friend as they say. I'm not going back over two years of reports for you.

    The truth is though that you are not interested in discussion but rather to deny, obsfucate etc

    Making stuff up? have you been in a cave for the last two years?

    Oh, she's doing a shockingly bad job and we all wish that Brexit would actually happen.
    As for Trump, well mostly he doesn't do positive things for anyone except himself.

    Hilarious when Jones fans support Trump, supporting Muslim bans due to terrorism fears when they believe 911 was a false flag.

    How is that remotely similar to kicking someone off a private platform for harassing the parents of victims of a school shooting?

    Got some proof of RTE News taking a position on Trump and collusion? Also worth noting that the report is incredibly damaging to the president and has left him wide open for impeachment.

    Meanwhile Alex Jones smeared the families of a massacre. One family has had to move multiple times because of Jones fans harassing them. Jones is currently facing legal action because of it. Infowars is not a news outlet and was only viewed as such only in recent years by people who are effectively extremists lacking in brain cells.

    Funny when numbers were good in the Obama era, they were fake.
    Thing is, if he takes credit for the good he must take responsibility for any bad. Does he strike you as that type of person?

    So your main problem is his personality, not his results? Curious attitude.

    His character; pathological liar, ignorant, think skinned, vindictive, egotistical, panders to the tin foil brigade etc
    Anyway presidents don’t have that much sway over the economy.

    None of which he has had any great influence on but he gets to claim it. The debit column runs to hundreds of entries!

    I'd prefer an asshole who does a good job to a useless nice guy like Obama.

    Most of us are harmless, despite how edgy we think ourselves, so little danger of that unless you're into tinfoil hats!

    With all due respect you don't know how quickly the political situation of a country\society can change. The freedom of expression that you take for granted may not always be there, even in the near future. That's not tinfoil hat stuff, it's everyday reality for a lot of people.

    Team Obama Team Trump unite - it's all BS. Facebook are slowly realising they are not the telephone company that provides the product to communicate - they are indeed the content provider like the Irish Times/BBC/RTE/NBC etc. This will not end well for them in the long run - they are on dodgy ground as it is and could be sued out of existence in the next few years - if you have shares in them sell sell sell!!!

    Here's the unemployment graph. Obama got in 2008 to 2016. Received the economy in the worse recession since the great depression.

    It's now currently at 4%. So you're saying Trump deserves the credit for this?

    You do realise you are berating companies that cater to self-indulgence and self-delusion and makes lots of money off it.

    Yeah I kind of do as do you. It's generally glacially slow. I really don't see it and don't indulge in that end of times nonsense some people see as the future. So put the tin foil away and get out in the sun!

    Isn’t Loomer a qanon believer? That cult won't end well.

    Sometimes I despair at how utterly weak and pathetic many of the Millennial generation are.

    But seeing how different a lot of the younger generation seem to be, it gives me hope.

    The 14 year old girl in the video above sums it up quite well.

    I'm far too old to be a millenial and i have no issue with a private company deciding who should and should not be allowed use their platforms. You are woefully misinformed if you think it is only millenials that support this.
