That is just a blatant easily disprovable lie.
Not one single post not deleted about Trump or Pence and their decisions and actions in a MEgathread discussing 'all things virus'.
Someone does it in a new thread instead so it will not deleted from the Mega thread and
@Madmick instantly dumps it. He does not merge it in with the MEga thread saying it belongs there and not in its own thread. He dumps it saying it belongs NO WHERE and is NOT going to be ALLOWED to be discussed.
I have a list of specific Country and Leader criticisms ,excoriating comments, from Madmick, arkain2K and others proving that these threads are not just stats driven (2 more case, new city, etc) as Gov'ts and Politicians are judged harshly. I have posters such as the chinese poster here saying people were being harsh and unfair being shut down and ignored as those voicing the complaints (Madmick, Arkain) state they feel they are accurate judgements.
And that is the point. People have every right to ALSO discuss the Readiness and the Politicians actions and how they impact things. THat is except if you want to do so about Trump or Pence. Then it will be removed 100% of the time.
Scan the headline news of the last 7 days and see how many unique and different New Outlets are discussing Trump and Pence specifically and their Readiness for this and then look at the MegaThread and see if even one, ONE, single comment on that is allowed.
