China Mitch wants to extort some payments to look the other way. This is how it’s done.

Meaningless and he will do nothing. But it does indicate he hears us enough to understand what he needs to pretend like he cares about it.
He is trying to placate some hostility. He thinks he can throw Trump overboard but do a few things like this to placate our anger.

Good, if something is done about this. Big tech is out of control.

The “Senator” is signaling to big tech to send him a check so he can look into this.

And he knows there isn’t the slightest chance of it passing the house.

~~~

If you are hoping this will level the playing field the the social media realm, I would posit the theory that it will not.

It would potentially give legitimate channels to challenge censorship, particularly in how it could be harming businesses. So for that reason alone, I think most of us would be for it.

But this was needed more than 10 years ago.
Twitter, Facebook, and Google have grown so big, they can afford legions and legions of lawyers. The small upstarts and medium sized companies cannot. In fact, I would suggest that it could open up a cold war by the big dogs to use litigation against up-and-coming competitors.

That’s a message to those Big Tech companies to contribute to McConnell’s war chest and make other untraceable “donations.”

China Mitch cares not a whit about us. He will do what’s best for him and his cronies and pretend it’s good for us. I hate the man. He’s ugly on the inside as well as out.

2 Senators gone in a 24 hrs span is the only thing that Senators would react to. True for 90%+

Is Mitch going to go all-testosceroney and show us what a he-Man he really is? Will it be more Rambo than Chuck Norris? Will he get angry, turn green and tear up the place?

NO. He won’t do a damn thing.

Go away Mitch, time for someone a hell of a lot more aggressive. Appreciate the judges and shit, but you’ve failed to help fight for our President and party - and as a result you are ushering in a ruthless and damaging socialist party.

January 6th Mitch - are you going to stand for this country? Lead, follow or get out of the way!

SENATOR MCCONNELL wants to examine Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

Highly Doubtful, this is what we call a Fundraiser, and Big Tech is lining up to line the Turtles Shell with Big Bucks.
