deranged leftist comparing trump's policy to nazi germany. oh wait...

that pic is from the cold war, heinrich. we had already defeated your ancestor joseph and national-socialist germany when this picture was taken (and as upset as that makes you, we dont care).

well done on inadvertently drooling in glee about the national-socialist era in your snippy little failure of a retort. congrats you’re now illiterate in two languages

reported, btw

On one hand the wall is a retarded vanity project that won’t solve a problem.

On the other hand it gives Democrats infinite ammo against Republicans when Republicans start talking about fiscal responsibility.


fiscal responsibility = not spending more than you earn.
policy priorities = the distribution of whatever sum is available to be spent.

the wall is falling into the second category, it's a policy priority that many dont agree with, while others are enthusiastic about it.
it's nonsense to claim that every government expense which you personally dont agree with is a "violation of fiscal responsibility".

You really love to just reach as far as you can every time I criticize Trump.

This post is just a giant straw man and I think you should only read what I wrote, instead of what you wish I wrote.

I did. You said that you consider Trump's wall to be a useless vanity project. And then you concluded that in the future, Democrats would be able to point to the wall as a counterexample when Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility.
This argument of yours obviously implies that you consider the wall to be a project which violates fiscal responsibility.

There we go, now you’re saying what I said instead of telling me what my beliefs are.

It is objectively a fiscally irresponsible idea, come at me bro.

ofc it does. it's a solution to a problem that does not exist as described to justify it. also, it will cost the taxpayer BILLIONS of dollars while the original promise, as repeated thousands of times, was that someone else would be paying for it and it will cost you NOTHING. another one of trump's promises was to balance the budget. in reality he's massively increasing the debt (amongst others with 'communist' policies like building walls and massive farming subsidies)...

very expensive and ineffective in the magnitude he and his supporters desire

it definitely violates fiscal responsibility

there is no reasonable reason to think that a wall around the area we are talking would ever be worth the price tag for the false sense of security

Trump accuses Twitter of targeting Republicans, offers no evidence

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-twitter/trump-accuses-twitter-of-targeting-republicans-offers-no-evidence-idUSKBN1KG1JY

Quote
“Twitter ‘SHADOW BANNING’ prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once!” the Republican president wrote in a Twitter post.

The practice involves limiting the visibility of a user in search results, specifically in the auto-populated dropdown search box on Twitter.

Trump’s comments followed a Vice news report on Wednesday that Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and other Republicans including Donald Trump Jr’s spokesman were being “shadow banned.”


Quote
“We are aware that some accounts are not automatically populating in our search box, and we’re shipping a change to address this,” the spokesperson said in a statement.” Twitter said the technology used is based on user behavior not political views.




Evidence or not it seems Twitter is making changes.

During the last 5 years or so, I've noticed some changes in all search engines. They seem to "lean" in a direction rather than being totally unbiased.
For me it was on Google where I first noticed it. I don't do Twitter or Facebook etc., so I would have no way of noticing it there.

But I have noticed a certain bias in Google searches. Like when I search for a current news item, it gives me results NOT based on date, when I specifically included date in the search.


So I guess I can see lesser search engines playing the bias game as well. I don't like it, but I believe it happens.
