There is all sorts of fucked up in that article. Not the article itself but the incidents they mention.
I actually felt sorry for Mr Fang.What boggles my mind is that suppressing views and debate is only good if you are 100% aligned with those who decide what's ok. And what happens when what's ok changes and you're outside the rent suddenly? It's damn scary, and seems to be moving towards thought crime and away from classic liberalism.

Watch it quick, Twitter will delete in 3, 2, 1....
Is it in the nation's best interest for the president to deliberately spread memes with fake content?
I don't get why people are enjoying this.

@Snowy I saw the whole of that clip on my FB feed the other day (cant be arsed trying to search it out)
the one I saw was promoting the opposite of racism, by saying kids dont see colour...which showed the 2 boys run towards one another with big smiles and then embrace, have a little chat then the above clip.

@taniwharugby That's the one I saw which I said was quite good. Messages might be a bit confused here.

Because its both humourous and the message regarding media is accurate. CNN were as late as last week still pushing the 'White supremacists are behind the rioting and looting" and many a moron who only consumes CNN/Guardian/HuffPo type one-sided media continue their supposed righteous outrage.
Also its a sweet video of 2 kids who haven't yet been brainwashed.

@gt12
It's pointing out the propensity of SJWs and corporate left wing media to promote the racism is everywhere bullshit. Humor is a great way to illustrate this.And he knows damn well Twitter will label it as "Manipulated Media" The left wing outlets will dutifully report on it and more people will see the meme out of curiosity.
Someone's "manipulating" the media............
(some of you are too serious.)

But hasn’t he got something more important to do? Riots, a pandemic, China being particularly fuckwitted, rampant unemployment, a crisis in policing, an election coming up. Shouldn’t he be busy?
Too busy trying to muzzle the tell all book about to be released. If it's all lies, why does he care so much?

Because he’s mental

Composing a tweet taking a few minutes (at the most)
The time spent talking about the tweet by all and sundry...... takes a lot longer - lolHe's been a hyperactive (if slightly mental) workaholic his whole life.
This is well documented. -
I would find him funny if he weren’t the president, but I think there is a difference between telling jokes and being a troll.
Specifically, he’s the president and supposed protector of those who didn’t vote for him as well - many of whom he is setting out to offend by sharing that.
Particularly at this moment.
His tastelessness wouldn’t be a problem if he was an effective leader.
It’s worth noting that the efforts to stop Bolton’s book indicate that the things Bolton is saying are true - to the best of my (limited) knowledge there is no such thing as a classified lie.
-
@gt12 I'm so old I remember when Bolton was just a lieing evil war hawk! No idea if what your claiming is true, maybe I'll get some time to look into it. Maybe its true, or maybe there is a significant amount of money to be made in a former employee trying to take Trump down in election season.
I see the BBC were running a story today about Trump running with a Nazi insignia in his election adverts causing their banning.. kind of at the point now where I just assume these are all lies because nearly every time I look into it that is just what they turn out to be...but by the time this is uncovered there is a brand new even bigger outrage..this time orange man is over for sure!
I agree he is mental. But he is genuinely entertaining and from what I understand conservatives and the average working man have been bending over for years for both the woke mob and their corporate sponsors so a rough around the edges mad man standing up for them, himself and American values is a nice change. He might be gone in November but with the alternative a dementia patient and VP (insert woman likely black) because MLK's dream doesn't really mean dick to Democrats , well I wouldn't be betting against him.
