    I see he's complaining bitterly he can no longer use Twitter to spread his lies. "I'm going to post on Twitter (a platform that I consistently and routinely violate their T&Cs) on how they're stifling free speech!"

    Whilst other users would likely have been banned by now, I think this is a good compromise. It allows PINO to spread his rubbish, whilst at the same time pointing out some of the more egregious errors, misleading claims and lies - such as his mail-in ballot nonsense.

    [edited to add]

    Naturally, this shouldn't only apply to Trump but all world leaders on the platform. There's lots of populists out there (including my own excrementitious government) who misuse these media platforms.

    If people wish to check all statements as Max alludes to, they can continue to do so. Though the fact that various social-media platforms have been involved in the spreading of misleading and false information for the last few years isn't really arguable.

No. Not one. In fact they actually congratulated themselves on what a terrific job they had done covering it Worse, they continued employing the same tactics.

      So while I don't know why he bothers, and I really wish he wouldn't, I can understand how turn about is fair play. The fact is that Scarborough and his ilk aren't victims but rather bullies getting a taste of their own medicine.



      PS: Scarborough hasn't been a Republican for quite awhile now though he only officially left the party a few years ago.

        In other words, again, you claim others did it and thus it is "fair play". That's a pretty low standard. Is that how low your regard for truth really is?

          I believe you do not comprehend the consequences of a "settlement of $25 million dollars, which demonstrates he is 'guilty' without any doubt dodging a trial. Not guilty? Why the $25 million dollar 'buy out' avoiding a trial.

          Guilty of 'fraud' is guilty of 'fraud' no matter how you call it. It standard for Trump to use his millions to buy his way out.

              Whether he was a Republican or not. Trump's malicious acrid abusive accusations are beyond any acceptable standards of ethics and morals. That is the problem, and not what someone else supposedly did. How low can you go to justify Trump's atrocious behavior.

                      If you would not cut your own sentence everyone could see your clearly said:

                      "So while I don't know why he bothers, and I really wish he wouldn't, I can understand how turn about is fair play "

                      You clearly used the expression "fair play" and it is easy to see that you find it fair because of your idea others did the same. So, once again, are you really holding truth in such low regard?

                          I do - you don't seem to comprehend the difference between criminal and civil proceedings. Just trying to help you out. Truth matters.

                            Maybe I should write slower so you can comprehend better

                            As said, I can "understand" why he did it, but I don't agree with his doing it.

                            If y'all ever showed a scintilla's as much concern for all of the deliberately virulent and malevolent garbage that Scarborough and his ilk regularly spew out as "news" as you do over Trump's tweets this likely would never have occurred. But since you ignore the intentional dishonest crap these purveyors of fabricated falsehoods disseminate we end up with this.

                            As my mom used to say, it takes two to tango. Criticize both sides for their misbehavior rather than focusing on one while ignoring the other and you might finally regain some scraps of all of the credibility you've repeatedly squandered away.

                              And, I repeat, since you are trying your best to avoid it and even cut your own statement to avoid others seeing it. You clearly called it "fair play". And now you say you don't agree? Don't agree with what you called fair play....

                              As for the rest of your statement I hope you realize that you - once again - continue along the lines of your relative standard where you justify not telling the truth if others also lied. And you talk about "credibility" from someone who understands why others would lie, who calls it "fair game"?

                                Not in the least. Trump's atrocious malicious acrid insults are understandable with a sixth grade education which you apparently have trouble dealing with even though you can apparently understand him. Though some of his speeches are not inarticulate and incoherent.
