no private corporation should have that much control over speech etc etc etc but

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Not that I have any faith in Zuckerberg doing the right thing, ever, unless basically forced to, but I appreciated this from the above link:

Notably, the board also told Facebook it needed to consider several other measures, including “a comprehensive review of Facebook’s potential contribution to the narrative of electoral fraud and the exacerbated tensions that culminated in the violence in the United States on January 6.”

The board said such a review “should be an open reflection on the design and policy choices that Facebook has made that may allow its platform to be abused.”

let's not forget this classic holiday post

design and policy choices that Facebook has made that may allow its platform to be abused

the Facebook board of directors faces the problem and forcefully covers it with mush.

One for the 'marketing of femininity' thread.

Like the existence of a Trump dildo in our fallen world doesn't surprise me exactly but it still very much makes me want to not be alive anymore.

(NOT FOR MEN)

nah, i am happy that he is a novelty sex toy type celebrity now and not president

Don’t you both sides me.

You’re right, that totally ruined Sex Obama for me.

You'll want to wash it in between both sides.

It's NOT FOR ME(N) though.

You just have to be more gentle next time. Sex Obama is delicate.

Melania asked for Sex Obama, and look where that got us...

Note: Diet Coke is NOT an effective lubricant.

#Trump2024Handslide

xpost things that you were shockingly old when you learned?

The attempts by Trump's team to come back from deplatforming are objectively not going well. People are not engaging with the posts. Deplatforming works. pic.twitter.com/Yj9PgzM6BF

They should try defenestration next.

Surprised at the zero pins. Surely neo-fascist crafters are a thing.

lmao at the fact that this "ultimate free speech" platform does not allow you to interact with his posts at all

"Engagements" is throwing me--not marriage proposals, I hope.

Is he ... is he aware that Medina Spirit is a horse? pic.twitter.com/K5SImeNgpL

Angry sore loser hollers into the void

So glad Twitter deplatformed him just so people like Rupar can just smear his feces all over the platform anyway.

Ehh i think it’s fine when he says something completely insane and idiotic like this

it's also one thing he's said in five months of mostly being silent

due to deplatforming.

yeah, and trump's audience and rupar's don't exactly have the biggest overlap xp

it's also one thing he's said in five months of mostly being silent

"Junky horses, ruining the country..."

tbh the owner saying the horse was a victim of "cancel culture" and then Trump calling the horse a "junky" is objectively hilarious, I'm sorry

Get this jokey off my back

The whole world is laughing at us regarding our Kentucky Derby policies?

the world is always laughing at us about something. That's why we bomb it.

Eh, Rupar is just the latest example though. It's not egregious, no, but there were a few of those Trump obsessed liberal dudes that tweet 400 times an hour that had been breathlessly repeating even those weird statements he issued from Mar-A-Lago.

I guess it's less Rupar's specific instance here than it is a fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not like Trump is going to stop saying stupid, insane shit and I could live perfectly fine without the, "hey you guys just gotta check out what he said now!" shit.

I was going to vociferously agree with jon and then I realized we were both making this stand on a thread called "Donald Trump: Classic Or Dud?" and realized that maybe there were some complicity factors on our parts that were helping to ruin our day

lol

more like Aaron Pupar amirite

I was wondering what more might be happening Weisselberg-wise and it turns out

The CEO of my old company once arranged to pay for a lavish dinner for my wife and I while we were on vacation - at a place I didn't really want to eat. I found the whole thing showy and annoying (meal and experience of it being comped).

When I got back, our CFO told me I owed taxes on the dinner because it was compensation.

classy

NEW: NY AG’s office tells CNN — “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”

As my brother said just earlier today, "it's like he's a mafia figure."
