    An interesting article from 2019 detailing how successful Twitter was in banning ISIS accounts, but how hard it would be to ban some white nationalist and alt-right accounts because many Republican tweets, including some of Trump's, would get deleted by the same algorithm.

    “Most people can agree a beheading video or some kind of ISIS content should be proactively removed, but when we try to talk about the alt-right or white nationalism, we get into dangerous territory, where we’re talking about [Iowa Rep.] Steve King or maybe even some of Trump’s tweets, so it becomes hard for social media companies to say all of this ‘this content should be removed."

    No. About the “thought” process of the left.

    Why would anyone claim a moral equivalency between a beheading and the comments of Steve King unless they were claiming the absurd notion that speech is a form of violence ???

    I could care less about that.

    Fact: Your statement was incorrect. There’s really no other point or statement to be made. You made a factually incorrect statement. You can’t hide from it, you can’t attach it to someone else, you own it!

    Obviously.

    And thanks for making my point again - that being the intellectually dishonest practice of the left to pull statements out of context to support some absurd narrative.

    One simple question?

    who uttered this statement?

    “The cupboard was bare. The other administration, the last administration, left us nothing.”

    You asked a question that was answered in the article.

    If you can't be bothered to read the article, don't bother me by responding.

    If you won’t answer questions about your post then don’t bother posting.

    I don’t think you have a point. You were wrong. Won’t admit it. Serious character flaw.

    The WH now says the President will be issuing an executive order about this today. Prepare for another national embarrassment from the man-child, assuming an adult in the room doesn't manage to distract him long enough that he forgets.

    You also didn't read the post, which explicitly points out that the two aren't equivalent.

    I find it amazing that the entire left wing of American politics fears tweets.

    Not nearly as much as Trump fears fact checking, apparently.

    Fact checking isn't the problem. He has an inability to accept negative comments about everything. His thin skin has certainly emboldened his enemies.

    Why is our president such a little baby?

    Probably due to his rabid sense of entitlement and fragile ego. But he warned us that he whines to get what he wants, yet somehow his supporter think that whining is strength.
