US 2020 election

[whitewine]

Facebook has announced that it will not take on any new political ads in the seven days prior to the US election on 3 November.

Its chief Mark Zuckerberg revealed the measure in a Facebook post.

He said that he was "worried" about divisions in the country potentially leading to civil unrest.

He added that Facebook would also label posts from candidates attempting to declare victory before the votes had been counted.

The social network has faced criticism for allowing political ads to be "micro-targeted" on its platform so that they are only seen by small communities rather than debated more widely in the days after they appear.

The Mozilla Foundation has claimed that this makes it easier for politicians and their supporters to parade fiction as fact and avoid being called out on it until it is too late, particularly as Facebook has previously said ads placed by candidates would not be fact-checked.

The new steps could serve as a precedent for how the firm handles elections elsewhere in the future.

Where would you put that on a scale of 1 to calling dead US soldiers "losers"?

[flatandy]

Oh come on. Trump calling US soldiers who died for their country losers for failing to live through getting blown up isn't 1% as tasteless as "basement" joe's comment about something or other.

Here’s All the Corroboration for the Atlantic Story on Trump Attacking Troops

even john bolton is defending trump from this bs story. you remember bolton, who trump fired because he kept demanding more wars?

Even Fox News is corroborating this story.

You know, the news source you take as gospel?

That's hilarious, cult member accuses others of drinking the kool aid while believing fervently in a traitor and charlatan, no matter how credulous his bs becomes.

I found myself pondering how many Trump supporters were having an existential crisis over the newest Trump debacle...

Then I realized that was stupid of me because the time to show they cared about military service members (not the military as an abstraction, an important distinction) was when he said he “likes the veterans who weren’t captured.”

They care about the military like they care about their guns: they are scared and their guns make them feel safer. That’s it. The military is a tool with replaceable parts. And the only way they can prove they feel otherwise is to renounce him. I don’t have high hopes.

[voice]

Still the panic over Trumps latest mendacity about US servicemen appears to have caused a sudden u turn on his desire to silence servicemen voices by shutting down the Stars and Stripes that he has been attacking and trying to defund for over a year and that was due to close on September 30th, he's now put that on hold.

"Stars and Stripes saved? Trump insists military paper won’t be shut, despite Pentagon motions & budget uncertainty" www.rt.com/usa/499912-trump-stars-and-stripes/amp/

I expect he'll be tweeting over the weekend about how he saved the Stars and Stripes

[voice]

Multiple corroborating sources from multiple outlets even those the cult slavishly follow

Still keep projecting its others who are drinking the kool aid

[Marshall]

It’s hilarious.

Multiple journalists verify from more than one source: fake news!

“Many people are saying...”: See, it’s true, it’s true!!!

yep, Basement Joe is against fracking, totally against, unless of course he is speaking in Texas, or Pennsylvania, or somewhere that is dependent on it.
he is for law and order, unless of course he is speaking to a mob, on both sides of every issue,

Trump however is the same who ever he is talking to, he supports a border wall, lower taxes, you name the issue and agree or disagree with him he is the same,

[jimboky]

Not to worry Andy, I'm sure the dems will find some way to keep Basement Joe off the debate,

“Black man invented lightbulb” is not offensive.

“Vietnam vets are suckers for going” is a lot more offensive. Particularly for President Bone Spurs.

Black man invented lightbulb is kinda stupid, but not half as stupid as “Bags of Soup”.

Will the Reps be able to keep Trump from going to a debate?

[mids]

Black man invented the lightbulb is a ridiculous lie, though.

[Repat Van]

Why did he call veterans losers?

And as his support base fetishise’s the military how are they ok with this?

Or is this just another example of America’s cultural war.

[flatandy]

It's because he's a sociopath. He genuinely thinks that anyone who managed to get killed or injured in war is a total failure for not looking after themselves. He called people who got conscripted for Vietnam "suckers" because they couldn't find a way out; and the ones who got killed "losers"

[flatandy]

A propos nothing much other than comedy, I have to say that this is just really very funny.

The video I posted on page 29, shows proof that he uses that phrase(Loser/s) in his language, and it wouldn't surprise me that wasn't the first time, and wont be the last, hes an idiot.
