4. Excellent. Here's more:

New York (CNN Business)Facebook on Thursday said it had take action against ads run by President Trump's re-election campaign for breaching its policies on hate. The ads, which attacked what the Trump campaign described as "Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups," featured an upside-down triangle.

The Anti-Defamation League said Thursday the triangle "is practically identical to that used by the Nazi regime to classify political prisoners in concentration camps."
"We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate. Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol," Andy Stone, a Facebook spokesperson, told CNN Business.
This is a developing story. Check back for more...

[Warpy]

19. Hell has frozen over

or maybe using that Nazi death camp badge for anyone to the left of Hitler did it for him.

[onetexan]

17. What stinks is he's Jewish. What is the matter w/ this young man? And his wife is Asian-American.

You'd think he'd have more sense. I guess it's because of the big almighty dollar.

[SoonerPride]

24. You answered your own question. $$$$

..........and more specifically rubles.

If you or I posted 1/2 the crazy hateful shit he does we would be banned.

The two sets of rules nonsense on FB and Twitter needs to stop.

[LakeArenal]

27. So is Moscow's wife. He is worse.

[SergeStorms]
