    I used to hate Bush but I never thought he was stupid like the media played him out to be.
    Anyhow Trump had to go.
    America is about starting foreign wars.
    But because of the pandemic its not possible right now
    You know who has lots of oil?
    America!
    So America invaded itself in order to get rid of a regional strongman and sell off all the resources to our allies specially that which is our most special relationship the peoples democrat republicans of China.

    the most abhorrent part is the censorship and lack of concern over loss of freedoms
    used to be something we all agreed used to matter the most
    you know that whole first amendment of the constitution thing?
    really shocking how casual liberals especially are when it comes to wanting to straight up silence those that don't agree w them
    if your pov is so powerful and coming from a higher ground it should stand on its own shouldn't it?
    if there isn't a free exchange of ideas then the republic collapses
    you can't force half the country to think like you do
    and shame on anyone that subscribes to that way of thinking
    you're damning your children to a dark future as well as sacrificing the most important aspect of American life
    ask Poland

    I've been enjoying watching democrats support powerful monopoly corporations, and republicans look to regulate them.
    Clown world level two.

    definitely clowny but its less about regulating them and more about not giving them 230 protection under the law as i'm sure you are aware
    its not exactly a foggy situation
    doctors are being censored for not following the pandemic agenda and conservative outlets like Prager U are being censored for content
    that kind of bs just cannot stand and i get the feeling social media is going to take themselves out at some point
    was listening to kcrw and npr a couple of days ago and the announcer literally says
    "its not enough to just give you the news and what happened , we need to tell you why it happened..."
    yeah like violent rioting at the capitol after a summer of peaceful protests

    I've recently become unsure of the value of removing section 230 protections.
    It may just lead to more censorship, and not necessarily fairer censorship, which is what most conservatives hope for.

    I'm much more concerned about the collusion of google, apple, and amazon re: Parler. That's truly frightening.

    well those colluders are exactly the people protected by 230 so...
    they don't even pretend to care about others opinions and support entirely the joke crowd and all their made up agendas
    that's why they are trying to shut down Parler or am i missing something here?

    I don’t know that there was actually collusion. Google acted first by taking Parler off the Play Store, but when they did it they were pretty clear about what Parler needed to do to go back up. They said there needed to be a way for content to be reported and a process to review certain content. Amongst their examples of questionable content was a post saying that the family members of members of congress should be executed while those members are forced to watch. I develop apps for a living, and both Google and Apple have rules and review all apps before allowing them in their stores. Nothing about the Google ask seems extreme or unreasonable. Twitter has such a review process in place.

    I’m sure Amazon and Apple had a ton of pressure after that. Once Amazon pulled the plug, everything else became moot for some time. I don’t know the current status of Parler, but I’m sure they can build their own servers rendering Amazon unnecessary. But without Google and Apple they will be seriously limited.

    I think those are two separate issues.

    They wanted to shut down Parler because it's a competitor. It was NEVER about violence in the capital. It was an opportunity to crush an existential threat, and they took it.

    Separate issue is I worry that removal 230 will make it so any controversial opinion is censored--worse than it is now. It may not harm the tech giants, but it may harm free speech.

    and yet pedos and dictators as well as terrorists are just fine
    google hezbollah and cair and read everything you can find np
    china spreads their rhetoric freely all over every corner of the internet while murdering their own citizens and spreading disease around the world
    free speech isn't controlled by some leftist ideologues in a vacuum
    parler was shut down to try and silence conservatives period
    if the situation was reversed and any of the above mentioned were being shut down by a powerful parler app all hell would break loose and you know it
    the left wants to strike while the iron is hot and shut down all conservative voices right now
    your pov is widely represented in every aspect of the msm, hollywood, education etc.
    what about me and my voice?
    i get called a Trump loving right wing hate spreader bent on breaking down society violently
    and yet there was no censoring of blm, antifa et al as they burned and destroyed cities
    the hypocrisy of liberals is of epic proportions

    The fascists are not the ones who you stop, ghettoize, and eliminate because of their fascist ideas.
    The fascists are the ones who do the stopping, ghettoizing, and eliminating with the use of fascist means.
    What their economic system is is besides the point.
    And no there was no hidden reference to isis there.
    Sometimes words just jumble together on their own.
    Buuut....
    Isis was pretty fascist.
    Like the Taliban.
    Or the old corrupt religious right.
    Self-righteousness for the win!
    You guys do remember what we hated as kids from morality peddlers who wanted to be the guardians of society so we would treat what they tell us as good news straight from the guides above?

    Like in every comic book story all of the foreign groups that this country has been fighting have put their different strengths together to attack America with its kryptonite.
    But we all know what supes is capable of when you touch his chosen people, the apple of his eye.
    And first and foremost that is his mother Martha the hardworking soccer mom who is easily influenced by running water and is always thirsty to love a strongman.
    That is a weakness for supes. Like your right eye is vulnerable.
    But his left eye is Lois who is his what he looks at intently and with focus for the present and the future.
    Can soupes keep both his eyes and save the world?
    Or does he lose his traditions and wisdom which are the key to help him get to what his right eye can see?
    Godinez had to lose an eye.
    Can we do better?
    Or do we risk losing both the chosen amendment and the chosen people?
    Lois and Martha.
    I think both wear glasses.
    Clark ones.
    That Kent wore when he tossed the football in college.
    To temper his super laser optical gaze.
    So folks wouldn't think he was cheating.
    When his pretty blue eyes turned blood red.
    And he would hit those receivers with heat vision.

    That's the type of thing mafia defenders within the system told Guiliani when he was first trying to get all RICO suave.

    Hunter's laptop isn't news but digitally removing Trump from a 30 year old movie is. Every now and then you gotta just embrace the clown world I guess.

    ever since poltergeist i've had an issue w fucking clowns
    remember visiting seaport village in SD right after the movie was out early 80s
    there was a clown store there and of course i'm going in
    as soon as you open the door one of the full size (4'?) poltergeist clowns is sitting in a chair staring back at you
    they were on loan from the studios but it scared the shit out of my gf
    i just sort of stood there w the door open thinking i had to do something so i guess it startled my ass too
    point being ever since then i wanted to stab a clown in the heart
    fuck clowns

    Here is the thing about this type of serpent.
    It eats its tail.
    Cancel culture will start to cancel each other.
    Like at the tower of babel.
    Breaking back down into their warring factions.
    Because once they help the king build the tower he doesn't really need them anymore.
    Thank you for the platform fellas but me and Babybillion Gates will take it from here.
    And here are your new gods, the big 6 in the society of supervillains.
    They hear all and see all and know all and they hold all your words up in the clouds where your most high holy sweet data resides.
    The gods will start directing the head of the snake where in its tail to bite.
    I mean between these six giants they are more powerful economically than the entire EU combined.
    And they are fueled by unlimited monopoly money made in CN.
    Money talks.
    And the executives and politicians outstretched hand listens.
