Politics

[Brent in Az]

The social media giants have created a culture of invincibility among themselves. The day may come when it backfires on them. Apple has just denied the use of Facebooks research app, which is used to mine personal data from users. These tech giants have algorithms that can infringe on every aspect of our digital lives. Nothing is private anymore.

One of the common tactics used by leftists on Facebook, is to file a complaint againts posts, such as mine. It is easy to do. Just a few clicks, flag it as hate speech, and the Facebook algorithms will ban you for up to 30 days. It has happened to me many times under my political facebook page.

It all comes down to politics.

I used to post occasionally on Accurate Reloader.com but the guy in charge, Doug somebody banned me for what he considered a racist comment. It was actually a question. I saw a story about former president Obama making a trip to the small town in Kenya where his father lives(d) and a lot of local hoopla about how the locals considered him their "native son". About the same time former president George Bush passed away and flags in the US and I think in other countries were lowered to half-mast. So the question was: do you suppose when Obama passes away the flags will be lowered to half-mast in Kenya? It seems from the report that I read about his father's home town, that they might so I didn't see anything racist about it- but there are people that see racist in everything- so seems to be the case with Doug.

I think they may be feeling the heat a little bit and loosening up. Time will tell if they are truly headed in the right direction, or if this is just a blip.

Since they just reported record profits all of the bad PR they have received over the last six months sure hasn't hit then in the pocketbook, yet .

They go by their own rules and keep getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar, say they're sorry and continue down another ethically questionable method of making money. From this chair, congress and the regulators have fallen down so bad with social media, it's proves just how they are incompetent and woefully behind the times. The best description of Facebook I've heard is "The Devil in Binary".

^^^^^That is so lame^^^^^^. C'mon man, post something funny. You're boring the intelligent people. Show the members you have something more than an eighth grade education.

 

[Brent in Az]

Yep.

An anti-Trumper from South Africa.

Yeah, never got over the shithole description.

An anti-Trumper from South Africa.

Contrary to the Democrats who revel in bad times, individualism, high unemployment, class warfare and the art of whining, Ol' Trumper has cut regulations, got better trade deals and instituted policies that have driven the unemployment rate down to record lows. New jobs created last month were 304,000 and the economy hasn't been this good since the '60s. I guess we should envy South Africa's 27% unemployment rate that's been stuck there for YEARS and with no improvement in sight. Maybe instead of a billionaire businessman who knows when he's getting fucked we should have a president like Zuma with an eighth grade education who likes the way it feels.

Don't forget, that Trump is also not trying to seize the land we own, or sending in killers to murder us on our properties.

And for the first time since I don't remember when, gas is below $2.00/gal. I saw $1.99 in town - $2.01 here. But heah, OMG Trump is a bigot and racist and a bully, and he's MAGA period.

Now look at all the Dems that are running for President; hang out the dirty laundry and let's see them turn on each other.

I believe that the Democrats have taken a page out of the JFK era.

Months before JFK'S assassination, he announced that he was going to work with Russia on various issues. The establishment deep state freaked out, and went on a smear campaign, labeling JFK as a commie sympathizer. His actions ultimately led to his death.

Unfortunately, dealing with other countries dubious leadership is a part of the political arena. What better way for the left to demonize Trump, by labeling him as "Putin's puppet"?

The USA just pulled out of the arms treaty, as Russia has decided not to play fairly. We can thank , Hillary Clinton, and Barrack Obama, for allowing 20% of our Uranium deposits to end up in the hands of the country, that they have accused Trump to be in bed with.

See how that works?

The art of deflection. Accuse your political enemy of that in which you are guilty of.

Trump could cure Cancer, and the Leftists/ media, would figure out a way to lambast him for it.

Personally, I don't care about Trumps personality flaws. I care about results. That is the bottom line.

Old line Dems are leaving the party as it's swung so far left it is blatant socialism. In my state, the University of Delaware has just proposed hitting the taxpayers for 22 million to pay for low income tuition and forget any discussion of ROI. The cutoff for low income is 75k. I'd like to say it won't fly but this is a state where a new anti-2nd Amendment bill is introduced every session.

For sure, he's just your everyday run of the mill troll looking for attention. Sad, really.

He also had been putting out feelers to eliminate the Federal Reserve and going back on honest money. Strangely, Reagan had said some of the same things.
