Looks like Twitter are now going to let the public decide for themselves on this kind of thing but I dare say this could damage Joe Biden’s campaign should any allegations prove to contradict him.

Is this a good position for Twitter to take or have they opened the door for rampant speculation/ loonpoddery?

Can we just ban Marty1 from his own thread and save us all the hassle later

Are Marty going to change his ways, though?

Let’s face it if Trump loses then Marty is going to find life problematic for a while .

he already travels in the same space as fellow travellers

Not sure if that’s true tbh . He’s a delivery driver who posted a lot about the lack of health safety at Amazon at the beginning of the lockdown .

he got banned from a thread for suggesting the benefits of hydroxychloroquine

Plenty of theories re treatment on social media tbh . some barmy , some well meant and some plausible .

We all have to put up with our party being in opposition from time to time, likewise sometimes you party makes it rather hard to support them. Life innit?

now the bitching and whining is over instagram...

The First son claims it’s because Instagram is hiding his posts, not considering the possibility that his posts are bad.

Not fair. Stop the bullying, it is not attractive.

If you do not share someone else's views, then discuss. the constant ad hom is tedious.

Not if section 230 of the communications decency act is revoked which would remove their immunity from third party content. Think Republicans have been wanting this revocation recently, or looking into it - so maybe Twitter have buckled perhaps?

is this just a right wing push for the victim card

appears to be working for trump atm

I have no time for Trump, his re-election would be a disaster, but the pack attacks on a single poster can only be construed as bullying. I was a PCS rep for some years, and do recognise bullying.

Attack the views, of course, but stop the pecking party. Play the ball, not the man.

 

[Ax^]

odd situation do a make a comment about sass needing his medication needing checking and get accused of being ageist

or do i tell sass to do a basic search of me and marty1 interactions and be accused of bullying

hey at least we are not talking about brexit or trum..


no wait...

 

[NoXion]

Even Fox News turned the story down. That should tell you all you need to know.

Please call a shit a shit - Marty1 not Marty. There is only one Marty on these boards, the perennially popular marty21

In case you didn't read the article properly, it says the story is almost certainly nonsense.

Rampant speculation/loonpoddery would be suggesting that Biden is a Trojan horse for "far left extremists". Whatever and whoever they are.

Fox appear to be covering this story now.

Trump puts new pressure on Barr to investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop before election day

During the latest of many phone-in interviews with Fox News’s morning show Fox & Friends, Mr Trump demanded attorney general Bill Barr investigate a laptop allegedly containing incriminating emails belonging to Hunter Biden.

reasons they should not merge the threads...

Hope Trump's lot go big with this, waste even more of their depleted resources failing to address the issues that are getting him kicked out.
