  Being Removed From Facebook and Twitter

  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.

  I believe you minimus.

  I am super freaked out about the story that big tech is censoring laptopgate. Many have been warning about this (I must admit I thought some of this was alarmist), but now it truly seems that massive liberal censorship and oppression of free speech is here, all under the guise of some lame excuse Facebook is like Zuckerbergs personal website, which does not hold up when you think about it for 10 seconds.

  When a website censors and ban users based on their political views this has to be called under it's real name: oppression of free speech, just as severe as when the marxists banned newspapers.

  Obviously big tech knows Trump will put an end to this, so now they are playing all cards available to stop his election.

  given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.

  CDC says you should isolate until all fever is gone, and then for some extra time. It makes sense to do so at the hospital, although he might not. I think we can be sure CNN will bang on about how dangerous it is if he returned to the white house with a fever.

  I predict he will keep looking and feeling pretty well. That this will be more or less like a flu. That all the alarmist talk and guesswork on twitter, trying to guess what this or that drug means and drum up a scenario where Trump has to be 25th amended, is false.

  It is an easy prediction to make. it is just assuming everything stays the same.

  you are watering down all the guesswork you have posted about drugs and so on to mean he stays isolated for a week, which is in my experience in the low range for how long a normal flu/cold lasts. I have better things to do than argue whether that prediction is brave or not.

  Let's leave it here and see if there are more rallies/debates/public appearances (there surely will be).

  Your predictions have nothing to do with the severity of his present situation. You somehow expect that the default protocol would be he did not self-isolate at the hospital for a week?

  I will take you up on the debates/rallies.

  It is debunked every day by

  • A team of ten doctors who give on the record press appearances saying he is doing well
  • Regular video updates of Trump who looks perfectly fine; in fact, he looks better than usual without the heavy tanner

  But sure Funky, someone on twitter who used to be a tax record expert until friday when he became a medical expert is posting long words so here you are, telling the rest of us not to trust our lying eyes.

  Lets put it to the test. I make two predictions. Then let me hear yours:

  The first is he will soon be out of hospital, still in isolation (as he has to be), but otherwise perfectly healthy. What is your prediction?

  The second is you have some vague ass answer like "it can go either way" or "cnn may say he is like really bad at some point" or some other face saving bullshit. It is like listening to the GB explaining the generation.

  Funky: Please try the following exercise: In a short amount of time, Trump will be out of the hospital, healthy and back on the campaign trail after a period of mandatory isolation. The media sources you listen to will immediately move on to a new "breaking" scandal, in the hope you forget about all the other failures to get anything right, including this story.

  It is called propaganda.

  Do you remember how the election was being stolen two weeks ago? Do you remember how Trump was going to the poor house last week?

  All I want you to do is to reflect about how the media managed to get this story wrong, and not immediately assign some charitable interpretation (such as, Trump was really ill and it was covered up, or even experts get it wrong, and so on).

  But sure, until then you are free to believe the president does not actually work, and you are free to believe he was crashing and dying Friday as he was walking to the helicopter and they thought fuck it, let's just wing it with this one and give him a bunch of random experimental drugs, what is the worst that can happen?

  How come that every time a democrat is asked to explain something all you get is word salad?

  1) President Trump got diagnosed with the corona flu

  2) Best doctors in the US administer drugs based on best practice

  3) President looks perfectly fine and healthy, continues to carry out his duties

  Democrats: The man must be dying, and the proof is whatever treatment he is getting makes him look perfectly fine!

  Are you even able to process information and come up with a coherent reply at this point?

  None. Do you know what a precautionary measure is?

  Let me ask you: Does he look like someone at deaths door? Is standing up, talking coherently and without shortness of breath, is his capable of talking without coughing?

  How is his complexion? alertness?

  If you had Corona, and you were able to do all that, would you naturally conclude you had a mild case or a severe case?

  Do you remember you made a big point out of "marking" my post before the weekend where I wrote he would be up and about, showing he was in good health during the weekend?

  I had a regular cold two years ago and looked and sounded a heck of a lot worse than Trump.

  Who am I to believe, the Huffington post or my own lying eyes?

  This is similar to how earlier last week you insisted Trump was broke despite owning a private plane and multiple multi-million dollar properties.

  some people are such haters!

  we may have real differences on politics, religion or life but we should never rejoice that someone has gotten an illness simply because we don’t see eye to eye with them.. there are people here that i have differences with but i would never wish them i’ll health or worse, death.👎.

  I agree. It is very nasty how the left are treating Trump with no compassion. The conservative media does not behave like that, but rather engage with compassion and empathy when the situation calls for it.

  The left is also incredibly poor at judging the optics of anything related to Trump. To most folks, showing your face when you have the flu implies bravery and strength. I think the ride in the car was just the hopeful message people need.

  Here is the appropriate context: https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/apr/24/context-what-donald-trump-said-about-disinfectant-/

  What Trump said was perhaps phrased a bit clumsy, but it is a completely reasonable and coherent statement.
