A vid I had posted, via twitter, on another site was quickly removed. It was from a Latino/Cuban UFC fighter telling people to re-elect Trump and not Biden with reasons why. Funny how the opposite ones are allowed, even if they're fake.
This is the best I could find of the original.

Biden campaign is using Twitter as a defense, now saying the story is clearly not true if Twitter had to sensor it.

Embarrassing that this isn't being widely considered election interference.

They clearly don't understand why Twitter blocked it. Twitter did a horrible job communicating this and look like fools.

Twitter would be blocking hundreds of stories a week if this was a real standard.

They messed up real good this time. Real good.

I think we can all say, Twitter has been absolutely horrific in any consistency regarding flagging, communication and blocking.

Gasp, now Harris has to suspended the campaign trail because of COVID. Let's see how the media handles this (it shouldn't be a big deal).

If she wants to travel - buy a damn plane ticket (to help the airlines) and fly there in coach!
Problem solved and story is nothing

These people are so damn spoiled - all sides.

It shouldn't be, but it was when Trump and his team was getting it.

Republicans + COVID = irresponsible

So predictable.

Biden's own quote!

"I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him. I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."

Help me understand. I'm confident Snopes is being disingenuous, but I want to make sure I understand (as best as possible) what's happening here.

The Biden video is authentic. But the Biden video is not 100% factual in that what Biden says isn't exactly how it happened. Yes, Biden threatened Ukraine to withhold a $1B in aid and yes, he wanted the prosecutor in Ukraine, that was investigating the gas company Burisma fired. BUT ...

(1) A lot of people wanted the prosecutor removed, including the Ukrainian government.
(2) Biden's threat didn't really play out that way. His meeting w/ Ukrainian officials took place in December '15 and Shokin was fired in March '16. U.S. did not withhold the aid and delivered it, on time.

The reasons why Shokin was fired as prosecutor has never been pinned down but to say Biden threatened Ukraine to stop investigating the company his son worked for hasn't been proven. Many connect those dots but it's not something that has ever been proven.

CNN - "Kamala Harris' travel halted after two in campaign's orbit test positive for covid-19"

Lulz at the spin.

I dont think anyone on this platform should compare Trump with a republican at this point...
Break up with your puppet master already.

Republicans = pretty good people
Trump = making republicans look like terrible people

Yes...it is that simple.

Yes !!!!!

I sooooo wish the party would move on from Trump. Many already have (myself included). I don't see him as representative of the GOP anymore.

I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. I didn't want to assume you were saying I thought republicans catching Covid made them irresponsible. I didn't want to assume you were putting words in my mouth.

In hindsight, yeah...I guess it was dumb of me.
