You only want to see your side of things and gets disturbed when any less favorable side is shown.

It's all about getting the full picture. BLM, Antifa, and left wings in general isn't as saint as they claim to be.

Not all their actions are justified because of the movement/agenda they are trying to push.

And when considering things... ANYTHING... be it political or whatever... one needs to look at the whole picture. It's understandable that one would try to justify or explain certain actions. But when one blindly disregard anything that's against your POV, that's not being supportive. That's being BLINDED and BRAINWASHED.

Exactly this. In principal I support the White House's initiative to increase transparency and reduce censorship on these platforms. How it'll all play out remains to be seen.

It’s actually super hard to hit lobbed balls out of the park, the faster the pitch comes in the more energy there is to transfer and hit it out of the park... so basically Trump is firing pitches right down the middle of the plate

Progressives voting for Biden: We'll push the party left once he wins.

lol @ the narrative that Biden pushing the party left comes from the "progressives"

Also: We know Biden is not great. You're not going to "rock the boat" here by trashing Biden

Trump says he could strong arm corporations like Exxon into donating to his campaign to out raise Biden (painted a scenario where they would want permits that he could give them) but he won't do that.... lol wow

So Exxon had to clarify

Remember how terrible 2Fast2Furious was when it came out? Like... took all of the original, (which actually isn’t very good either but has just aged well based on charm more than anything) and tried to amp it up and rehash it with an even worse and totally implausible plot than before hoping for the same result... but ultimately failing?

The whole Biden email thing is 2Fast2Furious.

It is a very sad state when a major US election is really to vote for the lesser of 2 evils ... and not for a candidate.

I thought it was 3 laptops?

Also no one voting for biden cares just like trump supporters don't care about the many trump scandals.

As far as scandals go, no, it's not very massive.
What makes it worse though is that the media are making up stories about it's validity and/or flat out ignoring it. Just like they did with Tara Reade's rape allegations.

Politicians lie. It's practically in the job description so I'm inclined to accept that. But it used to be the journalists job to keep that in check.
Add to that the censorship from big tech. These are things countries like China do. They used to be universally unacceptable.

You think Trump’s being treated unfairly? He’s gotten away with who knows how many scams and ripoffs and straight up illegal activity lol...

Even just simple things (ie: knowingly having a disease and then coming into contact and infecting others) is an arrestable offense of which he’s guilty of that any of us would be prosecuted for. The guy is made of fuckin Teflon.

But wawawa what about the laptop hoax... and Tara Reade was covered I read many articles about her and her questionable history for accusations which came off totally baseless... did Biden pay her money like Trump has or address all the women he’s molested/taken advantage of in his life geez you want to go down THAT rabbit hole with a guy like Trump in your corner???

Trumps obvious political tactic to paint Biden as a commie in order to steer undecided moderates is indeed a narrative. Yet Progressives doing the same thing over and over every election - voting for an establishment candidate who gives them nothing and hoping for real change, is happening yet again.

the only reason trump hasn't deported more is because he's far less competent.

Yup, it really truly sucks

America has such a huge advantage over so many countries with its democracy. But it's being squandered.

As for the tweet... Fewer deportations? But I don't recall many stories like these coming out of ICE back then
