I’m female-and big part of my work is doing product research online for bids, so don’t paint all women with that dumbass woman brush or put us in the same category as emasculated men-that s*** you are describing is confined to vapid, lazy liberal females and the aforementioned soyboys...
One partial angle. Trump says he’s going to enforce Bill Clinton’s law charging sponsors of legal immigrants for all of their welfare expenses. The law’s been unenforced for 20 years, although I don’t know how far back other laws will let Trump go to to collect, much less how far back we’d have adequate documentation to determine the charges Social media companies have used a lot of cheap programmers on H-1B visas over the years. Do they count as the responsible sponsors? Certainly plenty of tech companies have gone under and Trump won’t be getting anything out of them. BUT there also have plenty of liberal mega-billionaires made by long standing social media companies which likely have longstanding documentation. They and their companies offer deep pockets for as much as Trump can justify charging. Politically it would be a win win for Trump, soaking the rich for taxpayer expenses which which shouldn’t have occurred, but were because their business models were designed to shortchange american workers.
They entered into an open conspiracy to do just that the very day after the 2016 election.
It's on video.
No, not really.
[Government is outsourcing totalitarianism to the likes of Facebook. You cant virtue signal your way out of this problem.]
yep
[Example: President Trump should have a 70% approval rating based on his performance. That he is barely treading water is no accident - at least half of the electorate has been completely brainwashed]
yes
But it could be so defined if that redefinition allowed statists to destroy it, couldn’t it?
Forget it, let them cling to their dogmas. The Left is using Silicon Valley and Wall Street to stamp out all opposition and if these guys rather commit seppuku over their scruples, so be it.
Yes
“Tech-lords” issues do not excuse unconstitutional federal government acts of tyranny.
I am nor sure they are all brainwashed. I think some are not really convinced by the brainwashing but will vote against Trump anyway. Some of this is not even a matter of truth. If a leftist believes that it was "Hillary's turn" in 2016, that is just an opinion, but such an opinion is pretty much outside the realm of facts. Others believe the lies.
My good FRiend, I am not ceding anything that was mine in the first place. However, there are many seemingly liberty-loving people who reach for the "friendship" of government (that, as stated earlier, isn't based in the Founders' intent of the Commerce Clause), when they fear commerce they can't control.
First, understand I'm not Pollyanna about the current state of affairs. Of course I see the blatant statist bias of Twitter, Google, and FB, I know Trump won by 76k votes and the MSM has conspired to push the plethora of DNC lies since Nov 9, 2016.
That said, please... we are not living in a Brave New World, "where citizens are engineered through artificial wombs and childhood indoctrination programmes into predetermined classes (or castes) based on intelligence and labour." We still have homeschooling, natural childbirth, economic mobility, no govt-imposed caste system, and an Epsilon-minus semi-moron can still become a Congressional representative or CEO.
I love Scott Adams but I get my information about society...well...by walking out my front door and taking in actual observations from actual people. I see incredibly bright Millenials and pathetically stupid Baby Boomers, I see men AND women at the range, and punk rockers who support Trump.
Yes, I also see the usual losers on the left doing what they've always done, and will continue to do. I just refuse to surrender my morality for the sake of expediency.
Why? Because history hath shewn that power in private firms has scared some people...perhaps the same people who asked for Ma Bell to be broken up, as well as IBM, Kodak, Microsoft, and now FB. And yet....Notice how efficient the Invisible Hand has been against Kodak et al.
And even IF anti-trust law WAS rooted in the Constitution, you are arguing that we should have full faith and comfort in the government (which includes the Deep State) to get such a ruling right? Why?
"Because the same people who give us the Department of Motor Vehicles will rule correctly."

On what do they have a monopoly?
FR already is social media, the definition of which is:
Interactive forms of media that allow users to interact with and publish to each other, generally by means of the Internet.
One definition of social media.
Social media is an interactive computer-mediated technology that facilitates the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.
Free Republic would seem to fit into that definition. I guess zotting will become a thing of the past if this legislation passes.
I’d say their minds have been infected by Gloria Steinem, Ellen, Oprah and Lifetime.
