and Susan Collins said he’d learned a pretty big lesson.Remember when people used to say how the people around him would reign him in?
Yea....
More like she will learn a 'pretty big lesson' come Nov 4th.and Susan Collins said he’d learned a pretty big lesson.
When you are actually very ill and trying to pretend you are fine, I guess yes!You need a green screen to screen your own lawn????
His Twitter account surely won't survive many days after him leaving office? They've basically stated that they won't ban him because his president haven't they?And then a couple of weeks of Trump and the GOP calling the results fraudulent and trying to fight them. Then a couple weeks of Trump and the GOP pushing through whatever shit they can while they're still in power. And then many years of Trump posting shit on Twitter and his followers continuing to lap it all up. You just gotta hope the GOP will disown him and/or the court cases lead to jail time - but I am not sure about the former and really doubt the latter.
You have to expect a pretty substantial reduction in Trump’s followers after he hopefully loses. I would hope that Twitter would be more quick to pull the trigger to ban him once he becomes a civilian.And then a couple of weeks of Trump and the GOP calling the results fraudulent and trying to fight them.

With the election so close, is there any actual point to it?
I am sure Trump is one of the reasons for Twitter's popularity. Banning him will likely be a bad business decision.You have to expect a pretty substantial reduction in Trump’s followers after he hopefully loses.

Backup in the unlikely event should Trump win?With the election so close, is there any actual point to it?
If they can choose businesses would want to remain neutral.I am sure Trump is one of the reasons for Twitter's popularity. Banning him will likely be a bad business decision.
To bait trump into more deranged all.caps tweet storms?With the election so close, is there any actual point to it?
Or perhaps if he refuses to accept defeat to stop him trying to turn the army loose on wherever he decides has been taken over by antifa?Backup in the unlikely event should Trump win?

I actually saw a job posting here in Addis Ababa for something that looked interesting. I skipped applying though as it was some American democracy organisation or something silly like that.This is why the US is unpopular.

He maybe more dangerous as a lame duck. Don't be surprised if he goes totally off the rails between election day and inauguration day if he loses. This country needs every protection possible from these lunatics.With the election so close, is there any actual point to it?
I know exactly how this one is going to play out: There just isn’t the basis for any sort of criminal investigation so the report is going to be incredibly light in its findings so instead we can expect to have some choice leaks which are severely lacking the context of the wider picture. A few emails here, text messages there and reports that x was with y on z date. Basically enough for Fox, Brietbart, twitter bots and the rest of the loony right to run with.Tweet

I'll believe the unpopular narrative once people stop clamoring to immigrate here (both legally and illegally).This is why the US is unpopular.

He'll probably create his own "not fake" news channel afterwards that will topple Fox.His Twitter account surely won't survive many days after him leaving office? They've basically stated that they won't ban him because his president haven't they?
He'll probably partner up with OANN.He'll probably create his own "not fake" news channel afterwards that will topple Fox.
Jaysins! You’re probably right!He'll probably create his own "not fake" news channel afterwards that will topple Fox.
No way he will invest that much money & undertake the challenge of creating something. He will pair up with Sinclair or OANN where the infrastructure already exists.He'll probably create his own "not fake" news channel afterwards that will topple Fox.
People emigrate for a better life, popularity hardly comes into it. And when I mean the US, I am talking more specifically about its foreign policy.I'll believe the unpopular narrative once people stop clamoring to immigrate here (both legally and illegally).
Agreed - And those that come to the US for a better life (aka Capitalism) generally don't think about foreign policy when they are acting in theirs and their family's self-interest.People emigrate for a better life, popularity hardly comes into it.

You can love the Capitalism side of it and still hate the foreign policy side of it.Agreed - And those that come to the US for a better life (aka Capitalism) generally don't think about foreign policy when they are acting in theirs and their family's self-interest.
True. You can also be indifferent to foreign policy if you're gainfully employed and too busy to give it much thought. I know a few people in this category.You can love the Capitalism side of it and still hate the foreign policy side of it.
A lot of them come to the US for a better life because US foreign policy has fecked up their home countries over the years. Others come to America because they are just hustlers and salespeople and America values the snake-oil salesman more than other countries.Agreed - And those that come to the US for a better life (aka Capitalism) generally don't think about foreign policy when they are acting in theirs and their family's self-interest.
What percentage of the world's population is immigrating to the US? Calculate that number and imagine that the rest hates the US. Both methods are equally unsound.I'll believe the unpopular narrative once people stop clamoring to immigrate here (both legally and illegally).
The point being, people are still coming here in droves, which would undercut the unpopularity argument. If people suddenly stopped then, that would be a pretty good indicator that something was off.What percentage of the world's population is immigrating to the US?

They come for a better way of life - just like any other place. Most are Mexicans, followed by China and India.A lot of them come to the US for a better life because US foreign policy has fecked up their home countries over the years.

Why did you change "better life" to "better way of life"? I certainly think the former is more accurate. Way of life implies ideology, which is probably far from the minds of most.They come for a better way of life

Don't ex-presidents to some extent stay presidents forever though? Like, Bush or Obama might still be addressed as 'Mr. President'. So not sure Twitter will ever be able to shut down Trump by that logic. Also, Trump might just switch to Parler, which already seems popular among the US right (from what I've read), and might explode if some high-profile people like him make it their major outlet.You have to expect a pretty substantial reduction in Trump’s followers after he hopefully loses.

They're one in the same - the latter is just a more common way of saying it here.Why did you change "better life" to "better way of life"? I certainly think the former is more accurate. Way of life implies ideology, which is probably far from the minds of most.
I think he would go to Parler or the next iteration of a right wing social media platform. I don’t think he cares where he gets followers just as long as he gets them.Don't ex-presidents to some extent stay presidents forever though?

And possibly "force" a Biden presidency or Dems in congress to vote against pursuing the investigation - thereby the Rs claiming the Dems are hypocrites...
