Twitter says Taliban can stay on platform if they obey rules
"Unlike former President Donald Trump, the faces and voices of the reconstituted Taliban regime in Afghanistan can apparently tweet to their hearts’ content."
Today’s Taliban uses sophisticated social media practices that rarely violate the rules
So we are in agreement that that an extremist faction of a government responsible for the oppression and murder of its own people, and once responsible for the harboring and overt protection of terrorism is capable of practicing more self restraint on a social media platform than a former president? I have no remorse for Trump losing his social media platform privileges. He was told to knock his nonsense off. He chose not to and after January 6th, he is no better than anyone else. Even now as recent as last week (Forbes) how he is talking about Ashli Babbit is and vilifying the LEO is disgusting.  No. Your strawman is a logical fallacy. Twitter applies selective enforcement of its rules based on its support of one political party over another. |

I assume we are talking about the Wizard of Oz in a secret double probation winkwink handshake language, and strawman refers to a prominent figure. Who is the Tinman? Who is the Lion?
Anyway, quiz: THE NEW MATCH ME IF YOU CAN GAME....
Wynken Blynken Nod
(You may use winkin blinkin and nod, if preferred)
Match the above with following personages:
Harris Blinken Biden.
Please note there are multiple possible correct answers.

I think the most users on line # has to be changed on the Forum statistics thingy.
I am posting this here, because I attribute the newest most users # to barry, for the win.
There ought to be an award, or something....

I didn't know where to put this story, but since it happened in Afghanistan I'll drop it here. www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a40786162/cia-flying-ginsu-kills-al-qaeda-leader/The CIA Reportedly Used a ‘Flying Ginsu’ Bladed Missile to Kill al-Qaeda Chief"Over the weekend, the U.S. killed a high-level figure in the terrorist group al-Qaeda and the man behind several attacks on the United States: Ayman al-Zawahiri. A U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) drone reportedly carried out the assassination in the Shirpur district of Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. The strike was likely another appearance of the CIA’s Hellfire R-9X bladed missile, also known as the “Flying Ginsu.”" |

Buzzetta is not biased. Only everyone else is. Also, that was sarcasm in case someone missed it. |

This shows how short the West's attention span is or how little people care. I know CGC board members who were THERE who still can't believe it happened that way, but nobody cares. |

That's the difference between the two parties. The Democrats stay focused on January 6th like a laser, and the GOP lets issues like Afghanistan and our borders fade from memory. |

It's also in part due to the public's fatigue from bombardment of issues. There's just too many to keep track of. Normal people are enslaved to their jobs and dousing their problems with alcohol and reality television. The tech companies have done a great job of drowning out topics selectively to keep the public focused in issues the left wants kept on the surface. |
