Scott Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Former president Donald Trump is returning to Facebook. Two years after the social platform banned him from its service in the wake of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, the company says that he can now return. “The suspension was an extraordinary decision taken in extraordinary circumstances, Meta policy chief Nick Clegg wrote in a blog post. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/facebook-allows-donald-trump-back-platform-1235303375/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted January 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2023 Well hang on a minute, didn't he break the rules so had to be banned? Or were the big tech execs interfering with the democratic process by banning a popular President to silence him and severely limit his reach? Well, if they are letting him back on looks like the 2nd was true. Which I knew all along. As we saw from the twitter files, the woke execs there knew he didn't break the rules either. More big tech interference. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/donald-trump-was-banned-from-twitter-despite-doubts-over-his-conduct-k5d77j866 Rather ironic after the left's constant assertion that democracy was being interfered with, yet turns out it wasn't the Russians. 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he is literally invited by his interviewer to say good things about himself, all he can reach for is resentment... He has treated the world’s most powerful job as a stage from which to vent his frustrations with the world’s mistreatment of him, and this has often kept him from advancing durable aims, from capitalizing on opportunities, from learning from mistakes, and from leading. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-study-in-self-pity/ 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court with three appalling appointments. https://news.gallup.com/poll/354908/approval-supreme-court-down-new-low.aspx Blew up the deficit with tax cuts when unemployment was low and the economy he inherited from Obama was doing fine. Undermined US alliances across the world, doing Putin's work for him. Gave Kim Jong Un the prestige and credibility he had long been denied by other Presidents, while getting nothing in return. I could go on for hours, but I have better things to do than try to educate ineducable Trump cultists. 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operation warpspeed enabling a vax to be created years before experts at the time said was possible ISIS - when was the last time you heard of them? Really? Moderna did get a lot of US govt aid - much of it before Warp speed was created. But as for Pfizer Germany funded the development of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine—not U.S.’s Operation Warp Speed The truth is that Pfizer didn’t receive any funding from Operation Warp Speed for the development, clinical trial and manufacturing of the vaccine. Rather, its partner, BioNTech SE, has received money — from the German government. https://fortune.com/2020/11/09/pfizer-vaccine-funding-warp-speed-germany/ What's really funny about this is that Trump no longer takes credit for the vaccine when he speaks at MAGA rallies. Too many boos from the lemmings. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Policy and the Resurgence of ISIS in Iraq and Syria October 21, 2020 ISIS attacks in Iraq and Syria have increased significantly in 2020, demonstrating both a capacity and a willingness on ISIS’s part to retake territory, populations, and resources. In the wake of COVID-19 and the drawdown of U.S. forces, security gaps have worsened, allowing ISIS to move more freely, conduct prison breaks, carry out more sophisticated attacks, and smuggle fighters across borders. https://www.mei.edu/publications/us-policy-and-resurgence-isis-iraq-and-syria 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Russia hadn't launched its invasion while Trump was president, that means that Trump was responsible for that? Not everything that happens in the world had to do with the USA. We do know that for months Trump illegally withheld weapons authorized by Congress to be sent to Ukraine as Russia and its Ukrainian allies escalated attacks. We know that Trump refused even to respond to desperate queries from Ukraine about. It was only after a bipartisan congress threatened Trump that he relented. And he still tried to pressure Zelensky into launching a baseless investigation of Joe Biden, his leading political opponent. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was hardly just phantoms he blamed for his defeat. Trump Blames Everyone but Himself for His Defeat The Supreme Court. After the Court unanimously declined to hear two lawsuits challenging the election results in swing states, Trump said the justices—including the three he picked—"chickened out," revealing themselves as "totally incompetent and weak." Trump, who says he actually won by "a magnificent landslide," still claims he has "absolute PROOF" of "massive Election Fraud" that for some reason he has failed to produce in court. https://reason.com/2020/12/30/trump-blames-everyone-but-himself-for-his-defeat/ 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
