Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey whether the decision to fact-check President Donald Trump’s tweets was politically motivated.

Isn’t the easy response that it’s not politically motivated, the sources produced show that vote by mail is safe and even Donald Trump, despite the content of the tweet, thinks it is safe enough to have done it himself.

Sanders endorsed Leach's primary opponent Amanda Capatelli. That's really cool for her. Comes incredibly late though.

Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that....

....happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!

This is a US president talking about taking governmental action to shut down private businesses. Why? Because Twitter called him out on ONE of the steady stream of lies he has told over the past four+ years. This is also a US president advocating against free and fair elections, i.e. democracy. Americans must remain vigilant!!



He doesn't like mail-in ballots because he doesn't want paper trails.

Zuckerberg moves higher up the power rankings of people that can just get run over by a bus and i wouldn’t miss a beat.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

If you had any doubts that Zuckerburg is only interested in money, now you should have none. It is pretty wild to have the leader of a company built on sharing information say that the company has no responsibility for truth.

Time for the GOP to move on to their next lie. Maybe they should vet the next “victim” a bit more throughly.

Its hard to believe at this moment in time that the President is going to issue an executive order around Social Media.

What a butt hurt infant this donkey is

I apologize in advance if these criticisms get BSG shutdown by the government censors

No worries; the blame would be shared since all but one or two people post here have said similar things over the past four years. If by some chance it were to come to pass, we should wear a government shutdown as a badge of honor.

It is absolutely incredible that for years Republicans have tried to make political hay with ridiculous claims about Democrats coming for Americans' freedoms (guns, speech, religion, etc.) and now we (they) have a president who is ACTUALLY doing it.

The president's aides will not publish updated economic forecasts, citing volatility in U.S. economy.


Now we are having ourselves an election year! Anything fucking goes.

Draft language is out regarding the impending EO against Twitter, FB, etc. Here is a sample:

"In a country that has long cherished the freedom of expression, we cannot allow a limited number of online platforms to hand-pick the speech that Americans may access and convey online," the draft order says. "This practice is fundamentally un-American and anti-democratic. When large, powerful social media companies censor opinions with which they disagree, they exercise a dangerous power."

Of course, none of that is actually happening. Even the two tweets that started all of this are still out there on Twitter. Where is the censorship?
