The Current Events, News, and Politics Thread
Any behavior that disrupts socialemotional functioning and our ability to successfully navigate our roles, is usually defined as a disorder or some sort of syndrome. What is or is not a disorder has always been culturally influenced.
Iran is the #1 state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and we're about to lift sanctions and give them a pathway to building nukes. The lunatics are very definitely running the asylum.
Russian Oil Headed for the U.S.
Joe Biden is wholly unserious about the Ukraine invasion. No SWIFT cutoff, no ramp-up of domestic oil production, and we're still buying MILLIONS OF GALLONS of oil from Russia.
Why didn't one reporter ask Biden about this yesterday? Seems like an obvious set of questions.

Somehow these guys get to keep their accounts while Trump's is removed.
Suppose that's by accident or by design?

Like, just go to Twitter and search both of those names. They're gone.
The only folks with original screenshots of the Aug 2021 post are the ones who noticed, at the time, that the man in the photo is in fact a popular Youtube game reviewer named Jordie Jordan. Here's his channel, in which you can see his face clearly in a number of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/WingsofRedemption/videos
This is a classic example of confirmation bias. You want to believe that CNN is perpetuating a really amateurish fraud. You also want to believe that Twitter is punishing former president Trump, while allowing other fraudsters to run free on their platform.
Neither of these are true, but because both conclusions match your expectations, you didn't do even the slightest bit of independent fact-checking.
Huh? Both of those accounts (@CNNAfghan and @CNNUKR) were suspended almost immediately by Twitter.
