Telling the truth about science, society, or anything, us an alien concept to you, as you demonstrate on a regular basis.

It’s not just Twitter that aids and abets the use of Russian propaganda in the political affairs of other, sovereign nations…

People need to wake up the the fact that the Russians are supreme masters of espionage, propaganda, and cyber warfare. They are running rings around the West, and if the West’s (remaining) leaders do not wake up and grasp the nettle then Western democracy will be racing the Great Barrier Reef to effective extinction.

If we don’t get our online houses in order the result will be the eventual disorder of entire nations.

Thank you for inviting me to keep on posting on topics of interest and what my opinions are about those topics.

In the meantime, will you please keep up your hilariously incorrect mind reading and consequent incorrect accusations of dishonesty and lies.

I knew I could count on you.

Bullcrap. Twitter will allow an adolescent, immature, narcissistic POTUS in the body of a fat, old man to say whatever he likes because they are in thrall to the ruling elites. If any of the ‘normal’ plebs wrote such piffle they would be banned.

Nope. They just forgot to tell people there is another rule: “newsworthiness”.

Then the policy doesn’t support your argument in #8.

I have noticed that progressives often do not exercise their ability to think either.

Rather like humans having the ability to think but libertarians not exercising that ability.

So Twitter must not think Trump’s tweets threaten or harass others.
