    Facebook may have just handed Trump the 2020 election

    So up until last week, Facebook's ad policy was very straight forward; 'no lies or false information'.

    And then, incredibly, they changed that. Now, political ads are exempt from that rule.

    Seriously.

    Trump's currently spending $1.6 million a WEEK running an ad series on FB that's been demonstrably proven to be total fiction by FB's own third party fact checker:

    I should really start subscribing to e-mail lists for the other candidates.

    The e-mails I get from "Trump" asking me for money (which are clearly written by someone else) are hilarious. Like, lowest common denominator stuff.

    But I have to suspect that the Democratic candidates' fundraising emails are equally stupid.

    Anyway, that's the type of stuff you're seeing in the political ads. Interesting that Facebook changed their policy. Probably because they are not making nearly as much money since being pressured into change their data policies after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which then had the side effect of killing a lot of their revenue.

    It's really a scummy company all around. Once again, money rules all with Facebook, even if it means helping Trump, whom they hate.

    Don’t worry. Facebook still lets the truth come through. At least for now.

    Wow. Hannity somehow got hold of these emails that actually do fuck Biden.







    To: Hunter Biden

    Good morning

    Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.

    The Crown prosecutor of Ukraine met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Biden campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Trump and his dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.

    This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Ukraine and its government's support for Mr. Biden - helped along by Aras and Emin.

    What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?

    I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.




    Thanks I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it's what you say I love it. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?

    Best,

    Hunter

    Honestly tine, from a completely not-politically involved person's perspective....I think the democrats, politicians and voters alike, are handing Trump his reelection on a solid gold platter.

    trump is incapable of comporting himself in a way that offers alternatives to whats at bar, so things have to happen. i dont see the alternatives.

    the only part of this thats a self inflicted wound is the lack of viable candidates for 2020.
