Wow, democrats are really showing their colors today with this whole "boycott the CNN" thing... Unless I missed soemthing he is a presidential candidate, and one who so far hasnt been found guilty of anything that would disqualify him... and a popular one.

Yes he is a piece of shit, and yes he has no business being in politics... But its not CNNs job to make those decisions. Their job is to let the candidates say their piece and let the public decide from there (or the courts if there are legal questions).

As much as I hate Trump... I lost **so** much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new low... dont be that party...

@realcaseyrollins I noticed a few minutes ago, I just started the restart process and looking into why.

@alfredo_liberal@universeodon.com

Of course it alarms me.. Trump is a literal pile of poo. You dont need to convince me to dislike Trump.

But as much as he isnt a normal candidate, I do explect a news agency to be impartial, and that means not treating him like a criminal until he is actually found guilty.. Plenty of reasons to dislike him, but CNN did the right thing by giving him the same airtime as any other candidate, andlet the public,a nd the law decide those kinds of things. It is NOT their place to judge a candidate, they did right, as much as I hate Trump, they did right.

@alfredo_liberal@universeodon.com Oh well if the concern is just them hosting Trump, yea I get that.. but he hasnt been found guilty of any of that yet, which would potentially preventing him from running.. its not CNN's place to make those decisions, its a courts. Until a court finds him guilty they have an obligation to give all candidates equal airtime.

@alfredo_liberal@universeodon.com I didnt watch yet... what did they do that was a disgrace. From what I heard CNN didnt do anything but i heard people complaining about things like the audience support for Trump... but thats just america, he does have a lot of supporters (he did win the first time), so shouldnt it be americans we are upset with, is that CNN's fault? or, is it something else that happened I missed?

@giorgiosironi Great to have you here... if you maintain your own blog and can add html snippets there are some nice tools to show your posts in your blog. I use it on my blog (static site)

@SteelFolk thanks. I should be fine.

@realcaseyrollins no i was in there for like 2 minutes... the sirens are very localized and only go off when a rocket is specifically headed to your neighboorhood. So once the one went off there was no reason to stay

@masterdon

Automatic weapons have been illegal in the USA since the 70s and as far as I know an automatic weapon has never been used in a school shooting there, certainly not in at least the last 40 years.

@kcarruthers

@realcaseyrollins Yea it is.. kinda explains why the sirens were so late...

So turns out this bomb did hit, right around the corner from me... killed one person and injured 5

@jsit If they run QOTO code you can even improt the local timelines from other instances so anyone in the network can have a single account and expiernce all the local goodness.

@georgetakei It is disgusting how we treat the LGBTQ community, and double so for the GOP who seem to make this agenda... good of you to point this out, though sadly, i suspect your saying something we all already know and just cant solve.

@TruthSandwich Yea I've heard this stasnce before and its flat out wrong... voting for a politician who made his career as a pro-segregationist and voting into office the politician with one of the most racist histories of any politician in power today... is under no circumstances justifiable, even against someone like Trump.

That said, if you decide to vote for Biden I wouldnt judge you any worse than any other person making bad voting decisions, including those voting for Trump... but its still a wrong decision. Particularly troublesome that you are blocking people on the basis of not voting for biden... but, i mean you can block who you want I guess.

Holy fuck that was something.... After 24 hours or so of being bombed one targeted my neighboorhood just now and the local sirens went off. I had to run to the bomb shelter. After a minute or two I heard the explosion overhead. Luckily I dont think it landed, it probably exploded in the air.. but damn.

#Israel

@TruthSandwich What do you feel about their last response enabled fascism... Because they think Biden sucks and simply not being Trump isnt a good reason to vote for him (seemingly suggesting third parties as the answer)?

Hate to break it to you but I agree, Biden is a horrific candidate and while so is Trump, thats not a good reason to support Biden.

@YadyO LOL are you in philly... figures!

@YadyO In philly we just called this yoga...
