There was no effort to provoke, I was just curious as "disgusting" is quite a strong word to use and I have no idea what he has done or said to invoke the use of such a word. He is quite left leaning in his political views and voted for Biden previously. You presume wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Theory Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) What these 2 guys think is how to make more money. They don't care why you think or what feel about them. ???? sometime it becomes personal to them more than just a business, but hey that won't change the reality about them. There are enough stupids out there to join them if you refuse to be one. ???? My apologies, but that's a fact.

Left = The election decided Joe Biden is elected. no factual evidence of widespread corruption (fact certified by dozens of court cases).

jcmj Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think the worst part is that many will download the app and if they are not happy and try to cancel their account they will lose their instagram account as well. Now that’s a little tricky and sneaky way to keep subscribers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the single reason why people hate him. Zuckerberg's problem is that he allows disinformation and lies on his platforms so banning hate speech won't be enough for the librels.

The laugh comes when some time has elapsed and the people that said these things proclaim right out that they were lying (as opposed to a reporter squeezing it out of them). Even that snake Nigel Farage, when questioned about claims he made leading up to the Brexit vote said right out they were not true, like that infamous campaign bus with that message about billions of pounds lost. Even better was Sidney Powell telling a court 'no reasonable people' would believe her fraudulent election claims. Amazing the number of Americans that hold on to T____'s stolen election bs. As i've already posted, what the Dems are really running against in 2024 is the claims of election fraud and the insane baby-eating slander of the GOP.
