don't get me wrong, i do love her.
but when she goes into cult mode, i freaken hate her.
i hate the person this pos religion has made her become.
Sorry man but I've been out for a pretty long time and my wife is as committed to the dubs as ever. She's let her guard down with some things but generally believes it all.
I go through the same thing you do about cult-wife and regular-wife.
Only you will know when if it becomes time for you to divorce, separate or not.
Hang in there.
i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.
he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.
people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.
A few of the successful (mostly) Sherman Act court cases the government has undertaken (not all): Standard Oil, American Tobacco, AT&T, Northern Securities (Railroad), Swift&Co price fixing (meat packing), Kodak, Paramount Pictures.
I could see and understand Verizon, AT&T, etc made were in collusion to make internet access more difficult for republicans versus others. That would seem to fit under Sherman Act regulations and sort of matches up with Swift & Co, Kodak and Paramount Pictures cases.
I could see if Facebook kept individuals, based on politics or something else, from posting on other sites due to collusion, that also would seem to fall under the Sherman Act.
I just am not sure I see that an independent company can be made to "fair" and that is in quotes because each of us defines "fair" differently. Facts are facts, but fairness is in the eye of the beholder.
What if Facebook said, from now on anyone who says their a Republican can't post. Uproar! Unbelievable! the death of their financial future! But, legal, stupid - but legal.
What's to stop FoxNews or Newsmax from opening a FB rival that caters to conservatives? Free and open posting of all ideas! Users may flock to it, money to be made. Completely legal.
IMO

I don't see how important we view websites like Twitter or Facebook or how much they may mean to certain people means they somehow owe fairness. If you don't like their posting rules don't support them. I don't support them and I am able to maintain my social contacts.
As a private company I wouldn't think they even have to publish rules for posting, it would be nice and helpful and make their platform more useful, but required? I don't feel like that's true.
I can't stand federal government getting in my business. Any business other than defense of nation and interstate issues.
If we don't like the social platforms around today then in the future there will be new ones for us, better ones. That's how free market economies work.

Please send in PM. Thank you
as of october 2020, if you were governor or president how would you handle this pandemic?

Minimus, I'm saying that in my opinion herd immunity isn't possible because not everyone (or maybe a better term is not enough people) will move about and get the virus to generate herd immunity. And that because of our freedoms we cannot make them.
And that we shouldn't fault individuals who don't trust the government to handle the covid vaccine. In fact, I would figure that most conservatives would be among the first to be suspicious of a government backed vaccine. Either way, the same freedoms that some fight for to not wear a mask is the same freedoms others have to not take the vaccine and to hunker down and prevent herd immunity.
I think it's the double edged sword of freedom.

I totally agree Simon

Yes, good for you but each one of our hundreds of millions of citizens all make a decision and they don't all agree

Too simplistic an answer minimus. Unfortunately Trump's personality has turned off a lot of people and now they don't trust him. It's just a way of life these days. Should a tweet cause you to lose faith in our government? Probably not, but everyone gets to make their own choices. Freedom baby!!
a month ago it might have been questionable.
not now.
after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.
Here's a couple articles I thought were interesting:
One last look: 2016 polls actually got a lot right - The Hill 1/19/17
It Wasn't the Polls That Missed, It Was the Pundits - Realclearpolitics 11/12/16
538 has a couple articles bit I didn't re-search for them

Probability of winning isn't a poll - it's an opinion based on information. The information can be accurate and opinion can be waaaay off.
The actual polls, on average, weren't that far off from correct. Although I'm sure there were some poorly conducted polls that were outliers on either side.
What's good is that a simple checking of polling averages in the swingstates and nationally in 2016 along with the actual vote counts clears this up pretty quickly
