Twitter to ban all political advertising
Twitter is to ban all political advertising worldwide, saying that the reach of such messages "should be earned, not bought". "While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics," company CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted.
Social media rival Facebook recently ruled out a ban on political ads.
News of the ban divided America's political camps for the 2020 election. Brad Parscale, manager of President Donald Trump's re-election campaign, said the ban was "yet another attempt by the left to silence Trump and conservatives". But Bill Russo, spokesman for the campaign to elect Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, said: "When faced with a choice between ad dollars and the integrity of our democracy, it is encouraging that, for once, revenue did not win out."

Obama was so progressive he created the right of the president to execute US citizens without trial. I'd like to call that a fascist policy but that would violate the formula that says only Republicans are fascists and that no matter what Democrats do, who they kill, who they spy on, and whose money they take for political favor, Democrats are never anything but peace loving goodness and light.

I think his fix for your medical system was a good example of why he was such a disappointment. And executing anyone, even with a trial is pretty regressive,as well as singling out that only American citizens deserve a trial.
