They banned Trump for speaking out against election fraud and the swamp while allowing the Taliban to post. The f*** Taliban who are responsible for 9/11, murdering gays, and banning women from education.
Trump lied about the fraud with all of the Dominion BS and numerous other fabrications. 60+ lawsuits thrown out over the BS. Fake news will get you banned from this platforms no matter what side of the aisle you reside on.
Please provide examples of Taliban posting activities on Facebook.
The Taliban are indeed the scum of the earth. Maybe Trump shouldn't have been negotiating with them no?
Maybe Biden shouldn't have surrendered to the Taliban and given them 90 billion of military equipment, no?
It was the Afghan government and military that surrendered numb nuts. Should Biden have kept the war going and had US soldiers fight back and suffer even more needless casualties?
The vast majority of equipment left was not going back into service and the cost to remove was not deemed worth it
Any other BS conservative talking points you've been suckered by that you care to share?

Trump's social media company TMTG (Trump Media & Technology Group) is merging with a China SPAC (anyone surprised) to take on Facebook, Twitter, Disney+, and even Amazon's AWS. Discuss.
The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) says former President Donald Trump’s new social network violated a free and open-source software licensing agreement by ripping off decentralized social network Mastodon. The Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has 30 days to comply with the terms of the license before its access is terminated — forcing it to rebuild the platform or face legal action.
TMTG launched a special purpose acquisition company fundraising effort yesterday with promises to build a sweeping media empire. Its only product so far is a social network called Truth Social that appears strongly to be forked from Mastodon. While anyone can freely reuse Mastodon’s code (and groups like right-wing social network Gab have already done so), they still have to comply with the Affero General Public License (or AGPLv3) that governs that code, and its conditions include offering their own source code to all users.
Truth Social doesn’t comply with that license and, in fact, refers to its service as “proprietary.” Its developers apparently attempted to scrub references that would make the Mastodon connection clear — at one point listing a “sighting” of the Mastodon logo as a bug — but included direct references to Mastodon in the site’s underlying HTML alongside obvious visual similarities.
I don't know about Trump being vindicated, as there's lots of other evidence of shady things beyond the Steele dossier, but it certainly puts some of these journalists in a bad light. Journalism as we knew it is being slowly killed by the internet. News organizations no longer have the resources to investigate stories like this, and in a race to the bottom just post stories with headlines that will get clicks.
But lets talk double standards. Remember when Flynn et. al. were charged with lying to the FBI, and all you Trump supporters said those were BS false allegations? Yet now suddenly you're all on board with the FBI charging someone with lying to the FBI. And also, Trump was alleged by Muller to have committed ten instances of obstruction of justice. Lying to the FBI is a form of obstruction of justice. How come no Trump supporter seems to care about it when Trump or his cronies obstruct justice?
Mazars, Trump's accounting firm, says his financial statements can’t be relied on for the last decade or so. Going to guess they know there are material issues in the accounting. Unlikely Mazars didn’t know about this for years.

A Trump Organization spokesperson, in a statement to NBC News, said, "While we are disappointed that Mazars has chosen to part ways, their February 9, 2022 letter confirms that after conducting a subsequent review of all prior statements of financial condition, Mazars' work was performed in accordance with all applicable accounting standards and principles and that such statements of financial condition do not contain any material discrepancies."
"This confirmation effectively renders the investigations by the DA and AG moot," the spokesperson said.

It's start to make sense now ... anyone who spent time in public accounting thought the above was pretty unusual.
Help out those of us who are not in that line of work. Are they basically saying they relied on financial statements from Trump, and if they were inaccurate, they had no idea? And then they found out that there were some inaccuracies?
What's really wild is Trump's hubris. He's been running a business for a long time and has long been accused of shady dealings. Did he not think that getting into politics was going to end up exposing any of this? Did he honestly believe he was doing nothing wrong, or did he just naively think he could get away with it? In any case, to all those pro-Trumpers in 2016 who were touting Trump's financial success as a qualification for office, I hope you recognize how mistaken you were back then.
He's basically melting down that this accounting firm is lying about the accuracy of his finances. But he says this:
"We have a great company with fantastic assets that are unique, extremely valuable and, in many cases, far more valuable than what was listed in our Financial Statements..."
I'm no tax attorney, but isn't he basically saying the illegal part out loud?
