Republicans in Congress claim they are outraged after Facebook and Twitter worked to suppress the New York Post’s bombshell story exposing Hunter and Joe Biden’s lies about Hunter’s dealings in Ukraine and China. But the majority of them are faking it. Republicans have had years and countless opportunities to put real pressure on Big Tech. Even at this very moment, Republicans are refusing to take actions that would protect Americans from the predatory global tech elite.
As they have for more than a decade, Congressional Republicans are using Twitter as a smokescreen, a substitute for real action. Immediately after Facebook and Twitter’s censorship stunt, dozens of them made energetic tweets denouncing big tech and vowing to bring them in line.
For the vast majority of Republican lawmakers making strident attacks on tech over the past few days, this anger was phony. Republicans have spent years feigning outrage to get votes while doing nothing of importance in Washington. That is why politicians must be judged by their actions. And right now, Republicans’ actions on tech show them to be completely in thrall to a cabal of tech giants who hate them and hate their voters.

“Cause They’re All on the Take”
It’s all about the Benjamins.
Let there be no mistake. The GOP is, and has been the party of Wall St. above all else.
They were for sale as soon as the first dollar was printed.
The finest pop album ever made.
Yesterday.
At least in the top 5..................
It’s not fake outrage. This is a tough issue because Republicans generally have been the party arguing that government shouldn’t be telling private businesses what to do. I think Section 230 should be repealed for the reasons provided, but I also get why it has taken Republicans awhile to get to that point.
Correction. This only a rumor. Don’t want to propagate false information.
Who owns revolver?
That’s why I’ve been saying for a long time that the Democrats are one of the most corrupt parties (from any country) on the face of the Earth but the Republicans are one of the dumbest parties on Earth! Talk about creating the rope from which they’ll hang you with.....
“Here’s the deal Mark and Jack, OK we’ll call you in and say a few mean things and ask a few questions, and you’ll kind of act like dicks but also a little like a kid taken out to the shed, and that will get us through the next 6 months until mean old Donald does something serious and we’ll have to deal with it then OK? Ok thanks for the contribution and by the way can you turn the volume down on the algorithm controlling visibility of the article about how I have some shady connections to Turkey? Great OK see you soon.”
Once people start digging deep enough to punish the obvious corrupt politicians, they will inevitable find all the less obvious ones who have gotten rich while “serving the people” in Washington. Nearly everyone there is going to be in trouble in one way or another IF they can’t procrastinate and dawdle around enough to nip this in the bud. The DC swamp doesn’t want change -— and it starts with the DNC and RNC!!!
Influence peddling to corporations is criminal corruption. But peddling to the Communist Chinese Party to bypass American sanctions, transfer industry and obtain military technology is not Influence peddling.
It is Treason, hang from the neck until dead stuff.
Joe Biden and his family should be executed publicly, nothing less.
