Oswald hung about with a lot of Cuban nutters from both sides in the months leading up to the shooting. What's weird is how Cruz now actively courts Trump's support when it makes him look completely pathetic. It wasn't just the father that Trump went after it was also his wife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local fund raising not really hitting the mark and it seems to be now planning on rescuing the safe seats than defending the swing seats. A week is a long time in politics and those who watch it know results can upset all the pundits, but the GOP seems to be going into survival mode. Loss of the House will have consequences for Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 If anyone wondered if he could hold off from tweeting while John Mccains funeral was taking place down the road. He's predictable as f**k and not letting a dead man take his attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue isn't what people are saying it's the ability of Twitter, Google and Facebook to amplify some views, suppress others and completely censor at will and without users having any idea that the content they are being provided has been edited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do then why not digital platforms? TV was until recently a common resource, there was a limit to the amount of bandwidth available for TV stations so it needed to be very closely regulated. UK print press should only have to follow the laws of the land on issues like defamation and hate speech and here I am prertty liberal. Our laws have problems with some part of defamation and so on. Demanding the digital platforms be "regulated" is all very Dangerous Dogs Act or Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communication Act, laws designed to fix problems wtihout really thinking it all the way through. Whatever laws are whipped up for Twitter will l ikely also apply to places like P&B, what laws do people have in mind? Ending anonymous accounts, making the publisher responsible for the accuracy of comments (transfer season would be a lot duller) or other over heads that would kill small outlets? Laws are easy to demand. Outcomes hard to predict. The online world is largely governed by the basic laws on defamation etc that already exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm not saying the content should be regulated but the editorial process employed by the platforms which is where the real danger lies. You also have to bear in mind that these are public companies that can be bought by anyone. So they might not always be as benign as they have been until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Kaepernick. But then he doesn't stand so he's disrespectful. Kaepernick has now appeared in an advert for Nike about sticking up for what you believe in even if you have to give up everything (or something along those lines). In response a lot of tears and snotters from the right cutting off the Nike symbols from their shorts, socks and t shirts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Folk, including family members, turning the death of McCain and Aretha into opportunities to rant about Lord Trump and 'injustice' at their funerals.

Good on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
