Trump to be sentenced on Jan. 10 on 34 charges, before his Jan. 20 inauguration

[Skoob]

Obviously, you are not keeping up with how Musk has reinstated those posting some real fake and dangerous posts on twitter in the past.
Bullshit about "crowd sourced"!! The so called Community Notes are not "Fact Checked" based on actual facts, but a political bias.
One such example is:

What is Community Notes, and how will it work on Facebook and Instagram?

Meta shocked the tech world this week by moving to overhaul its approach to fact checking. Here's what the changes mean for social media users.

Nope...this study says different and was much more thorough with a larger sample.

Then why is it that Meta's "Community Notes" applies only to the USA, and after the donation of $1 Million to the Trump inauguration?

It is copied from X's platform. Well, well if it is supposed to be a "more reliable" form of fact checking, then why has it not also been implemented on Facebook in the UK and EU.

The answer is simple, much more stricter penalties applies, as the responsibility for the content lies with the platforms such as Facebook and X!!

Meta hasn't even implemented it yet in the US but will start there and then inevitably move to other countries like X did.

I'm not sure what your argument is here?

It will be implemented in the USA in the not too distant future. The only reason to now cave in to Trump, is for the following reason:

Zuckerberg has been a target of Trump and his allies since he donated $400 million to help local officials run the 2020 election during the coronavirus pandemic. Those donations became part of a false narrative that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, although there has never been any evidence of widespread fraud or problems that would have changed that result. Nonetheless, Republican-controlled states have banned future donations to local elections offices and Trump himself threatened to imprison Zuckerberg in a book published in September, during the peak of the presidential campaign.

Meta is among several tech companies apparently working to get in Trump’s good graces before he takes office later this month. Meta and Amazon each donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund in December, and Zuckerberg had dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

Zuckerberg this week also appointed a key Trump ally, Ultimate Fighting Championship chief executive Dana White, to Meta’s board.

At a press conference hours later, Trump praised the changes.

“I think they’ve come a long way, Meta,” Trump said. When asked if he believed Zuckerberg made the changes in response to threats the incoming president has made, Trump responded: “Probably.”

Meta eliminates fact-checking in latest bow to Trump

Facebook and Instagram owner Meta says it’s scrapping its third-party fact-checking program and replacing it with “community notes” written by users similar to the model used by Elon Musk’s social platform X.

Now that Zuckerberg has become an ass kisser, Trump has confirmed it based on his threats!!

There will be no political backlash from limiting women's role in combat. It's not an issue most American women and even less American men identify with.

You've probably heard the priority of the U.S. military should be lethality. I can share my opinion that I am concerned that encouraging female participation in combat not only interferes with lethality, but it might hurt recruitment efforts. Recruitment is a failure of our current military leadership.

No one is saying American women cannot serve in the U.S. military.

O would love to see women having to register for selective service. It is, imo one of the final glass ceilings that need to be broken to show true equality between the sexes.

I have no doubt all feminists will support this........

Interesting point.

I'm kind of conservative in that I think some type of mandatory service should be required for all young people.

I think it's an all in or all out thing. We got rid of it here. But in a way it's a form of slavery. Especially because the rich kids tend to always get deferment. But giving a govt the power to force its population to fight and die for something they don't believe in is about as anti freedom as it gets.

They found that out the hard way in Vietnam how useless a fighting force you get.

I can't remember the last time I met a feminist who was opposed to this unless they were opposed to the selective service system existing at all for men or women.

Selective service, of course, doesn't do anything other than note that you exist as a draftable person if a mandatory thing ever comes back.
It isn't even tied to things like federal loans and such anymore, if I recall. That's why they wanted to make it automatic instead of making people do it. (Since you can get penalized for not doing it, even if there is nothing reminding you to do so.)

As for an actual national service program, I've seen arguments on both sides for it and there is also all kinds of nuance about whether or not it has to be military service.

Vietnam wasn't lost because of the effectiveness of the American fighting force. Coming off the U.S. experience in Korea, the U.S. thought it could replicate their limited success in that conflict. In retrospect, the Republic of Korea (South Korea) now looks like a major success.

Anyway, nation building as it is now called is extremely difficult as we have seen again in Afghanistan. It doesn't have anything to do with the military prowess of the occupier/nation builder.

Ah yes, when someone decides they are not supporting the Democrats any longer and decide to support Trump, they are suddenly a [insert derogatory name here].

Got it.

Not so long ago the righties on this Board were accusing the George Soros donations to the Democrats as "Highly Corrupt". But the Musk, Zuckerberg and other Corporate Heads financial assistance to Trump pales in comparison. That is even considering awarding Musk a position in his Government. Trump is even okay with Musk purchasing TikTok. A possible violation of ethics and real corruption!!

What does all that have to do with lefties supporting people until those people decide they prefer to support Trump, then the lefties demonize them?

 

[squeezer]

Trump's revenge tour commences on one of his own. Imagine that, Biden allows Bolton to keep his security detail yet, Trump yanks it away. Hmmmm, I guess God will have to save Bolton from a bullet as he did for Trump placing it into the fireman instead of Trumputin.

Hear what Bolton thinks Trump pulling Secret Service detail means for him

Did not the righties demonize the Democrats with this Soros crap in the past? Now that Trump is getting these richest oligarchs to donate heavily to his team, and even encourage Musk to dish out cash to his supporters during the campaign that would have been considered to be bribery under normal campaign regulations. Of course with the Republicans controlling both the House and Senate, this will not be investigated!!

Just a bunch of incompetent dummies in his cabinet with no experience.
The Whitehouse will be a Comedy Circle in the next four years with the fastest revolving door among any other Governments in History!!

That's the point.
They got someone from the Project 2025 team to write a bunch of EO's.
Likely trump has no idea what he signed.

This one will be unpopular.

Soros always supported the Democrats. You are missing the point and the context here.

I'm talking about people who USED TO support Democrats and were praised, then were demonized AFTER they decided to support Trump.

Don't let Frankfooter scare you with his usual barrage of misinformation and doom/gloom tactics...you're not that gullible are you?

Are you?




The moves by Trump, experts say, are likely to be inconsequential to many Americans in terms of what they pay in out-of-pocket health care costs.

One Biden effort overturned by Trump, for example, had directed Medicare to look at ways to lower drug costs, including whether to impose a $2 monthly out-of-pocket cap on certain generic drugs.

That initiative, however, was only in the development stage, said Stacie Dusetzina, a health policy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and it was unclear whether it would be implemented at all.

Biden’s bigger health care initiatives, such as a $35 monthly cap on insulin, a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs and Medicare’s negotiating drug pricing provision weren’t affected by Trump’s executive actions Monday.

There are a load of different contexts to bear in mind. Musk was the one to not only fund Trump but to be his right hand man during his numerous campaign rallies. He even dished out big dollar amounts as incentives to the supporters just to attend the rallies!!
But you missed out one of my contexts in the first place. Soros was scathingly attacked by those on the right with baseless and fake comments equating him with corruption, just for supporting the Democrats. However, when you see all these oligarchs and the amounts that they dished out to get Trump elected, there is a payback for the likes of Musk to head a Department in the Whitehouse!! Do you think that the Soros support for Democrats is right to be labelled as "corrupt" as compared to that of Musk and the scale of his loyalty to Trump?

Who is George Soros and why is he blamed in so many right-wing conspiracy theories?

An explosive device sent to Soros' New York home is the latest reminder that he is a perpetual focus of critics

What are you going on about here? oh yes...the ol' distract from the topic and create a tangent.

Do you not find it completely strange that one day the Democrats love people that support them like Musk, RFK, Rogan, etc, etc...and the moment those people say they now support Trump they are attacked and demonized?

Is that too difficult for you to understand?

I'm not talking about people who have been and remain Democrat supporters being criticized. That's not the context here.
