Nigel Farage Questions Mark Zuckerberg over censorship In the European Parliament. 22nd May 2018

Nigel Farage Destroys Mark Zuckerberg: Stop Telling Us Facebook is “Platform for All Ideas” – Your Algorithms Censor Conservatives!

The algorithm change caused President Donald Trump’s engagement on Facebook posts to plummet a whopping 45%.

In contrast, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) do not appear to have suffered a comparable decline in Facebook engagement.

As expected, Zack didn't directly answer Nigel's question.

Zuckerberg is looking like an Android. Someone needs to poke him with a pin to see if blood or motor oil comes out....

Haha

"Even if they did face a similar decline, it would not be comparable in terms of impact."

Not even if, they did. Looking at the graph, Sanders looks to have dropped about the same percentage. Farage is a big baby.

NYT: Michael Cohen's 'taxi king' business partner to cooperate with government
Washington (CNN)A New York taxi kingpin and business partner of President Donald Trump's attorney Michael Cohen has agreed to cooperate with the government, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The Times said the agreement for Evegny "Gene" Freidman would allow him to avoid jail time and would have him work with prosecutors in both the state and federal investigations.

Mueller flipping them. See post I made above "If history is any guide, Mueller will put up with 19 murders to get his mark."

Stacey Abrams, who is trying to become the country’s first black female governor, won the Democratic nomination in Georgia.
Abrams will face the winner of a crowded Republican primary field in a conservative-leaning state.

5-4 vote against worker rights, majority opinion by Gorsich.
https://www.npr.org/2018/05/21/605012795/supreme-court-decision-delivers-blow-to-workers-rights

If 45 is so concerned about “spies”, why is he still refusing to take proper security precautions with his phone? And where’s the outrage about this?

"Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that the 1925 Federal Arbitration Act trumps the National Labor Relations Act and that employees who sign employment agreements to arbitrate claims must do so on an individual basis"

Dramatic headline but Congress could fix this.

All we know is the President has two phones. One is for secure phone calls, the other for twitter. Only a few people actually know often he changes phones. I think these types of "reports" are more gossip than journalism.

No Whites Allowed at Georgetown Community Dialogue on Racism
Georgetown University students who recently held a community dialogue event on a new proposal to arm campus police told their white peers that they weren’t permitted to attend.

The event, which was highlighted by Robby Soave at Reason Magazine, took place at the end of April and was hosted by the student group, Georgetown United Against Police Aggression.

As expected... no outrage from the Liberal Media

Funny because now NO U.S. government twitter account or politician can block anyone. Even bots get a say.

Liberal judges are stupid.
