Re: POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-and U.S. Politics catch-all
I read somewhere that the Parler people were complaining that they didn't have the resources to moderate their users and therefore, this was all very unreasonable.
There was this incredulous statement along the lines of, "Whoa! Wait, they're expecting us to have the same capability and standards that Twitter and Facebook do?"

Re: POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-and U.S. Politics catch-all
While by the constitution a president must be 35 years old, the reality is that practically speaking a candidate has to morel like 45 to be taken seriously as a candidate. It's also hard to imagine someone from the house of representatives running.
AOC won't have a viable ring at the presidency until at least 2032, at which point she may have mellowed, or the electorate may have swung left. It's far to early to say she can or can't ever be president.

Couldn’t see that money coming from Tech?
As laughable as it seemed a few years back I’m not prepared to say it’s impossible in 8-12 years.
She just needs to repackage her socialist ideals and sell it to Americas as their own idea.

They are not Socialist ideas by any defonition a European would use.
Perhaps the term Social Democratic would be a more appropriate term.
Anyway I hope she does well and does not sell out her left wing (by USA standards) opinions.

She won't make it. The Republicans will fiekd a Trumplite candidate from now on. The Democrats wont want to experiment again for a long time.

Try the links to the evidence, but be warned that there is some strong language related to the N word, violence, rape, killing, etc. They are PDFs.

Trump trying to gaslight the American people with his filmed statement today.
What incitement? What calls to violence?
And then making himself the victim of an "unprecedented attack on free speech".

In fairness, he would've been a lot more hawkish in terms of Middle East policy, and would probably be wondering how a Spaniard, and a lady to boot, managed to infiltrate the Houses of Congress, but on policy towards workers and the environment he'd be right there with her.

Trump "has held over 600 rallies in the last 4 years & none of them included assaulting police, destroying businesses or burning down cities. Democrats have spent all this time endorsing & enabling violent riots that left billions in property damage & 47 dead."

Yep - the next time a President sends a violent group to the Capitol which then invades the seat of Government, you can expect another impeachment.merry! wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:55 amTrump "has held over 600 rallies in the last 4 years & none of them included assaulting police, destroying businesses or burning down cities.
