President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

What power did Harris hold over Twitter at that time? Trump was president.

calling the complaint "decidedly improper and impermissible."

"you are a liberal"Bronze Age Heterosexual Male@BAHMnotgay·19hYou are a liberal. You're concerned that the government has stifled a man's speech over misinformation. Tomorrow you will wake up and buy your morning coffee, but your card gets declined. Bank of America says that you violated terms and conditions. There's a grainy photograph of you from five years ago, huddled shoul

Almost all of that is BS. If you really think it's true that conservatives suffered all of that, feel free to note the actual events.


by Luciom

do you recognize all the events are real events (except they happened to rightwing people)?

Luciom, either explain this **** or shut the **** up. Don’t act like you’ve ever been one for brevity, so just spit it out.

These comparisons seem like wild hyperbole at best. If you’re going to dance and squirm around, I’m just going to assume this is simply more of the idiotic, deceptive noise that you endlessly spew every single day.

the guy listed stuff that ALREADY HAPPENED TO RIGHT-WING PEOPLE.

so liberals have to go through that before having any right to complain.

there is no dance. the left did horrific things systemically and when the right does 1/200th of that you wake up and criticize it.

you have no moral high ground, you are the monsters, and you deserve anything that will happen to you and more (within the legal limits of the constitution of course).

it's actually a moral imperative to use the power of the state to ruin lives of leftists (legally) as much as possible. leftists deserve to be punished


Never believe anything someone on the right wing says. None of that BS happened. Again, feel free to post examples of those exact incidents, from clearly unbiased sources.

tell me one event described you don't think happened, I will link you that it happened, and you will admit it did happen and so leftists deserve the same, and be ok with it?

I won't go through all of them "for free" for you just to disregard then and move on

I doubt that any of them happened.

But even if they had, that wouldn't mean "leftists deserve" anything.
Who do you think did these things?

I never heard Biden threaten anyone on TV. Even if he or anyone on his administration did do similar things, do you think all "leftists" deserve to be punished? For something they had nothing to do with?

I wouldn't call myself a leftist or even a liberal. The last time I actually voted, it was for a Republican. But I am being punished now, by not being able to watch a TV show that insulted the president.

none, so it's fine to run for office while asking for that?

It was ABC which pulled the show, take it to them. And the people who allowed that show to exist will keep working i think. And you will be able to watch them in the content form they will choose, free from the fascism of the the FCC (which shouldn't exist)

Accusations of election interference and attempted voter suppression
In 2016, Mackey promoted internet memes claiming that it was possible to vote for Hillary Clinton through text messages; the memes were reportedly targeted at Black and Latino voters, and were designed to look like official Clinton campaign ads, reusing her campaign logo, slogans, and fine print.[12] One of the memes said "Avoid the Line. Vote from Home."[5] At least 4,900 people tried to vote by texting the number shown in the memes.[4] Around the time Mackey promoted these memes, he discussed ways to "limit black turnout" and described black voters as "gullible".[5][13]

Mackey was arrested in January 2021 for attempted voter suppression, alongside several alleged co-conspirators. The New York Times identified one of them as alt-right influencer Anthime Gionet, known online as Baked Alaska.[4] Mackey was found guilty of conspiracy against rights by a federal jury in March 2023, facing up to 10 years in jail.[5] In his trial, Mackey said that he had changed since 2016, and had started therapy in 2018.[16] In October, he was sentenced to seven months in jail.[13]

On December 4, 2023, Mackey's motion for release pending appeal was granted by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, staying his surrender date. The court ordered that his appeal be expedited.[17] Oral arguments were heard on April 5, 2024, before a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals consisting of Judges Debra Ann Livingston, Reena Raggi, and Beth Robinson.[18]

On July 9, 2025, the Second Circuit unanimously overturned Mackey's conviction, finding that the government had failed to provide sufficient evidence that Mackey had conspired with others, and there was no evidence that his tweets tricked anyone into voting improperly. [7][19]

Don't go with "but it was overturned in appeal" because that wasn't denied in the original post. He got convict to up to 10 years in jail by *actual monsters inimical to the country* (aka leftists) before sanity prevailed. For a meme.

Honestly I think that would depend on some other specific circumstances, but in this case, as only a fringe candidate with no chance of winning I would say yes. There was no chance that twitter was going to take her advice, and she didn't threaten any action she might take if she were elected.

Complete nonsequitur.


This could be an actual game changer and the pivotal moment the "pragmatic libertarians pro quality immigration" crowd gets trampled by the "maga nativists" crowd within the current republican party.

I am ofc not pleased if this ever comes to actual fruition

it isn't because there is no constitutional right to be on TV (there is no constitutional right to platform access for speech in general). While there is a constitutional right to be allowed to say whatever you care where you manage to say it, without legal repercussions

Lol, this was absolutely illegal voter interference. It was a deliberate lie in an attempt to influence an election.
It's disgusting that he got off on appeal - that guy should be in prison for the rest of his life. He is the monster inimical to the country, which you have recently shown more and more that you don't understand.

Just curious, do you think it would be legal for Democrats to use AI to make an incredibly realistic video of Trump raping a young girl, and broadcast it on TV along with fake recordings of him later admitting he did it?

Do you think it SHOULD be legal

The thread you quoted had nothing to do euro TV, so I don't know what you are trying to say here.

bold is not what the appeal court (unanimously) thinks. And they are the people predicated to decide that, not you nor me. And if someone can get convinced he can vote by sms he should be legally barred to vote for mental incapacity to begin with, no harm done anyway.

Broadcasts of raping would be illegal under the previously discussed content limitation for over the air broadcasting.

But let's say they put in on youtube and youtube decides not to censor it. Then yes, it would be legal?

Now if some people used that to claim Trump actually did that, that could be a defamation case easily enough, but that's another topic.


by chillrob

That's a completly different question and i understand it to be a very complex one that societies would have to answer soon (they should be answering it right now actually).

I could be ok with a right to personal image that basically disallows others to use your face for anything without your explicit written consent. But that would destroy traditional satire as well so i understand it's complicated.

But anyway creating something akin to a right to your own visual imagery ("the depiction of yourself") could be reasonable even under libertarianism. Details can be devilish and i am open to discuss the topic in detail, i don't have any clear cut answer to this novel problem, we have to start from basic principles and move from there.

Unless there is a lot more to the story than is given on wiki, those judges are also traitors deserving of execution.

100% agree.
