    Trump should be treated just the same as everyone else, fairly. We live in a society where we don't tar and feather people. .

    Report other peoples tweets then, thats the option people are using to alert them to Trumps tweets.

    Unless you think theyre manually sitting down reading every tweet , from every user in the world and just picking up what they find?

    if they take an editorial stance they should be liable for what they host on their platform, like boards.ie is.

    I'd imagine, Twitter have spent a pretty penny on lobbying the right politicians to ensure they are protected from liability for quiet some time...

    They havnt taken anything hes said down, they just offered people the opportunity to fact check it.

    His bull**** is still there for all to see.
    they blame themselves for getting him elected last time and over compensated, now he's going after them

    Can anyone advocate a negative position on Trump without engaging in hyperbole?

    Is hyperbole just a catch-all for any criticism of Trump like "attack"?.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    The resort to semantics is deeply unconvincing. I cited a link before to back it up but it was of course ignored.

    Wouldn't be like Trump to just stick up a smokescreen that only needs to last till the election.

    "Obamagate" and all the other people that are definitely going to be getting arrested over the last 4 years.

    Convenient that none of it will happen till after November.........

    Everything is about semantics when 'fact-checking'. Trump said he wanted his aides to 'check' whether it can be done. A stupid statement I'll grant, but you keep parotting that he advocated to inject bleach into themselves. Not one person has so far done this, so you are wrong.

    Your continued use of this statement is only a reflection of your insistance to use lies to smear whoever you don't like. The very same thing you want twitter to 'fact-check' Trump about. Pretty soon they will come for you too.

    Don't worry about the twatter noise, be more worried about facebook slurry.

    Billionaire Mark Zuckerburg, was considering running for POTUS last time around (until folks realised he was a bore).
    However closer to 2024, the nerd master will be a step closer to his dream of an all-knowing AI running the platform.

    This automation will give him a year or two off to travel: find himself, eat street kebabs after shandies, swim with dolphins, cram in music festivals, and develop a persona.
    After which, he'll be return elevated, and be able to poke/like about 3bn people into persuading them to support his great POTUS24/28/30 plans.


    That is... if the much more interesting Musk doesn't beat him to it.

    You used two terms in one brief description...deranged and lunatic.

    That is hyperbole.

    Friendly reminder that just last week Trump was accusing someone of murder.

    So yeah, how comes his supporters in this thread didn't have a problem then?

    Oh! How about the fact he previously tweeted demanding fact checking be done by social media, including Twitter.

    No here's the thing, you lot don't like it because Trump had it happen to him.

    Only a ****ing idiot that is supposed to be the leader of a country , uses a live press conference to air his musings about anything that has even the remotest possibility of causing harm.

    He still hasnt mentioned the debunking of hydroxychloroquine as a cure , mush less given his thoughts that there might be an issues seeing as result have shown if anything, the death rate is higher.

    He put a question mark after it, so its all cool. Hes not accusing anyone and if someone takes action then its purely on them..............

    the only reason you have left leaning people supporting the giant tech corporations run by multi billionaires is because they happen to agree on the subject of Trump. the substantive argument on editorializing doesn't come into it.

    find false information in Tweets by someone on the left then and get people to report them.

    They are completely devoid of values, it's scary. This was the same left that I thought growing up fought for people's rights.

    I genuinely thought they were the good guys.

    TDS is a horrible infliction on humanity.

    "everythign Trump does good"

    "evil mean people on internet all bad"

    Burr burr burr.

    Again, what a sad position for someone who is so righteous and powerful to have to play the victim all the time.

    it was the same when Emily Maitland went on a rant about Dominic Cummings on BBC Newsnight (for which she was reprimanded), she (and most people sh1tting the bed on the subject) couldn't give a rats ass where the man drives his car but as he was a key figure in getting Boris elected and the final date for Brexit is fast approaching, people tried to make political capital out if it and get him sacked.

    It's the blatantly tranparent bad faith arguments which i find fascinating.

    Or maybe its because he imposed rules on them and then flaunted it himself.

    52% of people voted for Brexit. The Tories won an 80 seat majority only months ago.

    The numbers are just not there to support your rubbish that its all anti Boris and anti Brexit feeling.


    The Daily Mail hammered his ffs.

    not all, a lot.

    i do believe that some ordinary joes were angered by the seeming hypocrisy but for the likes of Maitland it was pure politics.

    The Daily Mail are going soft ;)

    Trump will probably win though.

    Biden gets no real respect from Democratic voters and can't stir up a crowd. It's all quite obvious he has no charisma.
