    Are we realistically expecting to get any definite answers tonight? Or am I best going to bed?

    Really depends on how much effort you are planning to put in to work tomorrow. I think il chance one more cup of tea and if nothing happens by the last drop il call it a night

    Saying Biden has dementia gets you banned but saying the following gets you lots of likes .:confused:

    It does seem a little like a double standard, but there is a wider context.

    "Sleepy Joe" was a disinformation campaign tactic that is proven to be false (you cant run a senile candidate!).

    The post quoted was what someone believes, not a statement of fact (other than the comments about paranoia and delusions, which if you watch Trump, you can see are obvious).

    I can see why some people may think this seems unfair - I guess report the posts and let the mods wade in (which must be hard given the volume of posts)?

    Trump at least 2/1 imo.

    You were banned for 24 hours 2 hours ago.

    Doesn't appear to be very banny does it.

    You realise the ban was for blatantly acting the bollix.

    Such was your point of doing it.

    About the same as any other day.

    Which, depending on whether you're my boss or not, could mean two different things!

    The US badly needs to move away from its current voting setup, it's total ****e and backward.

    50 states and 50 different sets of rules. They need move to a single method, its crazy that a state like Florida with a 21 million population was able to get it's vote in but little ole Nevada with just over 3 million is taking days.

    Get it done in one night and be done with it and remove all this excess baggage that comes after.

    Heavily disputed he insulted soldiers by non friends of his like John Bolton and others who were present. McCain insults are there for all to see.

    Na of course he's of sound mental health! As sprightly as a spring lamb :pac:

    Not only that but when the dementia post is quoted by the Mod with the word threadbanned it gets up to 50 likes.

    Not a healthy barometer for freedom of expression!

    Attack the post - not the poster - so hear goes..

    That was a lot of pish. You really need to stop parroting the Trump campaign narrative - it will ultimately serve you no favours.
    do you believe in free speech or free spaces?

    that's essentially what the trump vote came down to.


    you can attack the post.

    have at it...whats your own POV on the matter?

    Trump can't get even the simplest facts correct.

    Making stuff up? Me saying Joe is senile you believe to be a bannable offense?!


    That's quite incredible if you don't mind my saying. Your opinion is justified and should be heard, other opinions that disagree are not justified and shouldn't.

    And you folk wonder why someone like Trump got voted in in the first place?

    Joe Biden is in the early stages of senility. You believe that I should be banned for saying that and you should be allowed say anything about the President (which of course you should)?

    Unbelievable.

    Ok I will say this once, no body in the president race is actually senile, although the press would like you to think they both are. When you watch one of your parents die of it then you will know what someone with senile dementia has to offer to the world around them. Stop posting fake s***t, just basically stop lying, You have just disrespected me and a thousands, if not million people who have taken care of their parents by posting this BullSH*t

    would be interesting to see how it would pan out with EC going with % of the state vote.

    as in texas....75 goes red .25 blue, same with california.

    has anyone crunched those numbers?

    He actually does. I reckon he got abuse thrown at him in 2016 by trump supporters and has been counting down the days to write that.

    Probably delighted with himself now

    It needs a serious overhaul but I'd be more concerned about the first past the post system than the count time. Heck the presidency doesn't change until January, plenty of time to get a count done.

    (I was kinda tounge in cheek - late night humour - and thanks for quoting the original too lol!)

    I think Trump has been very damaging for free speech -Can I assume you meant Trump is for Free speech?

    Most of Trumps campaign has involved destabilising some aspect of society - the media, the press, public debate and now democracy!

    He even claims big tech is censoring him - which for anyone who knows how social media companies make their money - is ridiculous as they have sold out to (literally) to allow Trumps campaigns to spread misinformation - which although is allowed under free speech, its ultimately damaging as it makes it very difficult to have and healthy or honest debate.

    Looking at how tight these races have been, I bet Trump is absolutely sick he didn't beat the mail-in drum more!

    He probably would have won if he had the lazy votes added to his tally!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭nolivesmatter


    Your medical qualifications?

    You don't need medical qualifications to suspect there may be something not quite right. I don't know if Biden is in early stages of dementia. Maybe he's not. But if a member of my family were making the mistakes he has I might suggest they have it looked into. Could be nothing.

    Steve Bannon banned from Twitter for promoting violence.
    Steve Bannon, Trump’s former top adviser, has been suspended from Twitter and had a YouTube removed after he called for the beheading of Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray.

    Bannon urged violence against the nation’s leading coronavirus expert and the FBI director on his “war room” show where he asserted that the president would win re-election and that he should fire the two officials in his second term, Media Matters reported. Bannon then said: “I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you’re gone – time to stop playing games.”

    YouTube took down the episode today, though the channel remains up. A spokesperson told TechCrunch that it removed the video for “violating our policy against inciting violence”. The company did not immediately respond to the Guardian’s inquiry about its decision to keep the channel running. Bannon’s Twitter account was also taken down, and the company told the tech news site that it was “permanently suspended” for violating rules against glorifying violence.

    No he would be complaining how the us postal service screwed him out of the election because it's run by a democrat

    I suppose. Eventually you have to pay it back though. And so on and so forth...

    Ah now come on, that's just pure lies. Heads on a pike is a well-known political phrase. You may not like it but it's well established. Same with "heads will roll". You can't claim only the right lie when you see lies like this.

    Calls for violence also seems a major stretch.
