Which is a self-preservation position to take. By starting doing so, it can be used from the government to treat social media with different sets of laws (same as newspapers and TVs) which can result in Facebook being destroyed (every cnut has an opinion on Facebook, so how do you start moderating all of that).In criticism of twitter fact checking Trump
He is staying neutral in this aspect, not pro-Trump.
I think a lot of these large Corporations are GOP voters for the tax breaks, while creating the image they are very liberal
When did he do that? I know he's said some shitty things about Obama but I don't remember that one.
Sure, if the gov starts regulating social media, the social media are screwed. I don't think that Zuck would want Trump to win against Biden though. Obviously, Bernie and especially Warren were different, considering that Warren wants to break Facebook and some other tech companies.
I am not sure. These companies have created very left-wing working conditions, for example.
I don't think he would have any issues with Biden either.
Yeah, there are employers who are not happy with Zuckerberg's decisions. That doesn't make Zuckerberg pro-Trump, neither those employers think that Zuckerberg is a Trump supporter. Just that they agree with this political position of Zuckerberg (which by all means, is a very neutral position).
It is under a paywall, but I assume it is similar to Redsky's link.
(From TLW)
In this situation you have to make a stand. He's someone of huge influence and he's sitting on his hands. I'm sorry, but I think you're being a bit naive. You seem to be a fan of his so I won't push any further, but I think his silence on the matter says it all frankly.
He just did. "Including your 2 amendment rights"
Absolute lunatics. It's 2020 and we have people like this in America, it's mental. Thank feck I live in the UK.
I am not a big fan of him (though I like Facebook and their work on AI).
While I agree that a neutral position doesn't make him look nice, I also think that him not putting Facebook in all sorts of trouble does not make him a Trump supporter. He is thinking for his company.
He also gets attacked from right-wing (both people and politicians). He got roasted in the senate from GOP, for example, with the accusation being that Facebook is very liberal and censors the conservative views. It seems that both sides see what they want to see, and are taking a neutral position for an opposite position.
Does he realize that the other side can shoot too?
Bet you didn’t think you’d be saying that when the Brexit vote came in back in 2016.
He'll make you laugh, he'll make you think. He likes to run and then the thing with the.. person.
I expected Trumps presidency to end in tears, but this is... surely he's gone several miles over the line. He's going to get a lot of Americans killed.
I am wondering what will happen when he loses the election in November. Is he just gonna give up, or encourage vigilante groups (and parts of police/military that might be loyal to him) to do a coup d'etat. Even a few months ago, this proposition looked ridiculous, but I am not sure this is the same anymore.
I know that I am exaggerating (after all, the exact same thing was said from right-wingers for Obama), but Trump doesn't look that he has any limit, and any moral when it comes to self-preservation.

You know the scene in every kids' movie, where the bully finally gets exposed as a fraud, and can't deal with it?
What if the bully had Pravda to write the narrative?

I get the impression he may quit if there is any hint that he'll get voted out. I feel that his ego wont let him lose.
Someone points out he holds the Bible for a photo op after telling his dogs to attack and kill innocent people
The Bishop of Washington absolutely slating him now for visiting the church.
"What we are witnessing is the shredding of our national fabric."

Meanwhile, the supermajority of Congress is doing what exactly? Nothing.
Could we see another American President assassinated? Sounds crazy but after what I just watched in DC and if this continues..
Not quite sure what they should be doing in the face of this other than supporting their governors. What are you suggesting?
Rep. Lee already this together today: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...ill-to-create-commission-addressing-legacy-of
You are getting to see a preview/trailer version of what will happen on Nov 5th, the 2nd season of the reality show.
And the Bishop - what's her name? I don't know. Very bad Christian, people say. Very bad. Can you even be a Bishop if your church is burned down? Let me tell you - I know churches - no one knows more than me - and that church was burned. Smelled terrible. Makes you wonder, I mean, why did it smell so bad? And there wasn't even anyone there! I had more people there in my 5 minutes than she'd had all day.
I've just seen live what he was prepared to sanction for a photo opp - peaceful protestors being fired on with tear gas and rubber bullets, before dozens of mounted police were sent in.
Not a chance he let's anyone close enough to take a shot at him.
"She sounded like she was bleeding from somewhere, I dont want to say, but she sounded that way."
I'm sure they'll be a queue of people happy to try though?
I found that whole sequence bizarre and particularly unsafe for him though. They quickly cleared an area then allowed him to walk across the park to a building overlooked by plenty of others. At one point the CNN reporter was stood above him before the secret service came up to the roof top. Usually you'd plan something so overt like that meticulously, comb the area with security staff and a search team then gradually move in. Just felt rushed and sloppy you know?
Trump is the gasoline being thrown on a steady burning fire, but what we are witnessing is the polish and facade that's been cloaked around the US through its chest beating of "liberty and freedom" act its done over the years being unraveled and its civilians who oppose the way it's run getting a taste of its own foreign policies being conducted on home soil for the entire world to see.
He is back in his element now, without a covid cough or question in sight
You'd have to be a longshot markmen to get him. Would take someone with training as a sniper but likely impossible to get a distance with greatest odds as secret service would be everywhere scouting locations and all. The biggest problem with him being killed is he'd become a martyr and would likely kick of a legit civil war, or at least a pockets of skirmishes as the 2A types and Trump asslickers run to the streets to battle the protestors.
They should use some bleach for the smell. Very potent bleach, the best of all bleaches.
They already approved his military budget ahead of time. They are soo good at this.
