Fox oddly has a solid reputation as pollsters even with all of their kneepad wearing Trump succubi
The only person the term TDS applies to any longer is Trump himself. He's got to be doubling down on the Big Macs and black beauties

Law & Order = Cheating on Elections?
How does a Trump supporter look themselves in the mirror?
Do they even have a reflection?

I didn't know about that. Went and looked. So it is just another variant of the KEK BS and Pepe the Frog.
That is definitely who this guy is. And look at him pretending to have been personally offended by being called out by me for EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE. They are a crypto-fascist pot stirrer.
They are a 4Chan troll who supports Trump. Donald Trump is their everything. They don't care about any of us and what happens to us in a world run by Trumps.
And now maybe people can wise up and understand why I said don't feed this one, because their true identity is as a troll in the deep state troll world of Q and they come to this board to try to get people to normalize them.
Oh, my kind are being shunned, cried the hurt little fascist sympathizer!
Yes, you are. I don't think you should expect anything less in the future.
Don't respond to them.
You're a good man Clyde.
Where would these poor Black folk be without you telling them what to do?
mph - no this is not tolerated in this thread. Only warning

Using some of those Twitter clowns to make her non-existent point. Good job bringing race into this when that shouldn't matter given who her opponent is

Facebook Declares Kyle Rittenhouse’s Actions ‘Mass Murder,’ Won’t Allow Posts in Support
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/09/02/facebook-declares-kyle-rittenhouses-actions-a-mass-murder-wont-allow-posts-in-support/Dice’s post on Facebook did not praise Rittenhouse, but merely described the video.
“Newly uncovered video of Kyle Rittenhouse shows him helping an injured protester after she was struck in the foot with a projectile,” said Dice’s post. “In another video he told the cameraman that he brought a medical kit, which is the bag he was carrying. Further proving he had no malicious intent by showing up. In fact, he was there to help anyone who needed it.”
In a comment to Breitbart News, Dice said he was being deliberately careful about what he posted, because he guessed that Facebook had added Rittenhouse to its infamous “dangerous individuals” list.
“[The posts] were all very matter of fact about what happened. No praise, nor celebration, nothing like that because I figured that they added Kyle to the “dangerous individual” [list],” said Dice. “I was very careful about what I posted.”
So you’re ready to crawl through broken glass and vote for Trump all on the defence of a guy charged with 3 counts of homicide? And people claim Jacob Blake is not the a hill to die on yeesh.
What that guy did was run away from his pursuers until he fell and when they attacked him, one with a pistol, he defended himself. The prosecutor is an idiot and he will not make his case. It's on video. Did you watch it? I'm guessing not.
And I'm on record as saying what happened to Blake should have been handled a lot differently.
What is your problem?

That's a ridiculous statement. I haven't defended one mass murderer or one terrorist attack. It's buffoonery to suggest otherwise. Go ahead, show everyone the proof If you have it. You don't. But good luck in Clown World let's see what the end result is.

My feeling is that Facebook should stay out of politics. It's a social media platform not a political media platform. It's already bad enough out there with the MSM being guided by ratings.

Yeah I had no idea about the clown world. There’s no way the use of it wasn’t in some way intentional. Sad that anyone subscribed to that type of thinking, even sadder that it’s being pushed on a basketball forum![]()

You people are a riot. Just one slander after another.
This is the definition of Clown World IDK WTF that piece of propoganda you cited is.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Clown World
The main thesis of the philosophy goes as such. With how increasingly absurd the state of modern society is becoming, the world itself seems like one gigantic circus - hence, the only remaining option is take the role of an archetypal medieval jester and laugh in its face. This mindset is also referred to as being "clownpilled," as a sort of sister-pill to the more well-known "blackpilled" phenomenon, with the main difference being that the center of the pill revolves around a sort of "cheerful nihilism" as opposed to the old doom and gloom. Nothing matters, so why worry about it? Just grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

There's no real way a social media site can stay out of politics. For example, some people setup an event page. Great. Does facebook get involved here and remove it and spark "ConSEvaTive BiaS" bleating? Or do they leave it up and not get involved in "politics"?

It is far more complex than that. When Russian hackers created fake BLM Facebook Groups and then created false flag rallies that Cambridge Analytica (Parscale, Kushner, Bannon, Mercers, Trump, etc.) then brought to the attention of targeted voters in order to arouse their anger, I'd say NOT doing anything to counter the weaponization of FB by foreign and internal enemies of fair elections is irresponsible. Sophisticated agents and coordinated disinfo campaigns abuse FB all the time. This is not just a matter of individuals expressing their opinions. FB is making profits off of those ads, thus they are more complicit than you're accounting for.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump told her ‘take one for the team’ after Kim Jong Un winked at her
By Mark Moore September 2, 2020 | 11:20am
President Trump joked with then-White House press secretary Sarah Sanders that she would have to “go to North Korea and take one for the team” after the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, winked at her in June 2018 during a summit in Singapore, according to a report Wednesday.
“Kim Jong Un hit on you,” Trump told Sanders as they were riding in the presidential limousine on the way to the airport. “He did. He f—ing hit on you.”
--------------------------------
In it, Sanders recounted how Kim and Trump met and talked about sports and the North Korean dictator accepted a Tic Tac from the president.
Suddenly, Sanders said, she noticed “Kim staring at me. We made direct eye contact and Kim nodded and appeared to wink at me. I was stunned. I quickly looked down and continued taking notes.”

I don't disagree with that but since FB has proven that it cannot responsibly platform politics without it being weaponized, then it should lose that privilege. No more politics of any kind of FB. What's wrong with that?

It doesn't make any difference whether it's conservative or liberal or progressive. It's all verboten. Just end it because it can't be regulated properly. We'll always be playing whack-a-mole.

Not really. I enjoy going on FB for my personal interests like dogs, sports, nature, music, etc. I thought the original purpose was to be able to connect with old friends and family.

Yes, I agree. They've abdicated their rights by showing a complete lack of responsibiity.
I'd say it is worse though and they are complicit.
Anybody who does a large enough ad spend can get an account manager. Cambridge had their very own Facebook representative work with them on-site to help them weaponize the stolen democratic party data.
Facebook collaborates with enemies of democratic process and free elections.
