This time, so far, he's got 110,290 votes, 51% of his own party that bothered to turn out. Sure, he'll win the Republican nomination but the Iowa vote can't fill him with joy. (Even if the weather was a bit chilly so the old folk of Iowa stayed home. ).

So you're ok with the ruling party & media silencing the other party? I could name a few countries where that is policy...Count Steer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 6:03 pm That was last time. Counts for nowt. 81M voted for somebody else.

Re: In todays news...
Silencing Trump? I wish. The bloke has generated himself more media coverage than an alien invasion. I half hope some random Ukranian silences the properly.

It's quite funny how much media coverage supposed censorship generates innit? How do these people know things are being censored if the media don't cover it?

Re: In todays news...
I guess in the case of CNN it's because they openly stated on air they wouldn't be airing any of Trumps speeches live, but would air edited versions later when they had altered it to fit their agenda/spin?Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:43 pm It's quite funny how much media coverage supposed censorship generates innit?

It's been going on for quite a while, but this week CNN & MSNBC stated it was company policy.

Why don't start your own forum, then you could moderate it to exactly what you want.
You must be one of the most prolific posters on this thread, whining mostly.

Maybe 'they' want him to win the nomination? He's the candidate Biden is most likely to beat.

So they need a licence plate, driving licence, insurance and a helmet and are still pretty much banned from everywhere? Fine by meIt is prohibited for VMPs to travel on sidewalks, pedestrian areas, crossings, highways, interurban roads, or tunnels in urban areas. Maximum alcohol levels are the same as for other vehicles.
