Facebook disabled the account of Shana Chappell, mother of slain Marine Kareem Nikoui who was killed in Kabul after rant directed at Biden.
Zuckerberg is a mini-wienie Marxist or in other words, an anti-Constitutional Rights Marxist prick and enemy of America.
Facebook/Twitter are nothing but modern-day tools like those the KGB and Stasi used to isolate and silence “truth speakers”.
Zucker isn’t much better, if at all.
The same for the Disney boys who have betrayed their patriot father, Walt Disney, what he stood for, and are now the destroyers of American entertainment “fun” culture.
BTTT
With prayers, for this mother’s loss, and for the nation’s.
This woman has earned the right to free speech more than the other 350 million Americans.
Agreed- Sad that the scum from facebook and twitter and ilk are so despicable that they would crap all over her while she is grieving, just to protect their inept faux president-
This hero is from my neighborhood. It’s a small conservative town of about 26,000. The whole community is grieving the senseless loss of the 13 who needlessly died.
Yesterday so many people came out in support of him and America. A pancake breakfast raised $25,000 to give to the family. There was a memorial hike and they played Taps at the top of the hill. Later the community gathered down the city’s main street for a patriotic parade. People lined the streets waving American flags, as horses and cars and golf carts and trucks, etc. all draped in flags drove down the street.
Yes, America hates Biden. America hates Zuckerberg. America hates Google. America hates @Jack.
Ruh Row. She gave voice to the ‘Big Lie’ and had her speech rights revoked. They sure are sensitive about stolen elections. I wonder why? /s
I wonder how long it will be before the snowflakes start accusing her of threatening TaliBiden. I wouldn’t put it past this administration to try and sic the FBI on this poor woman. I hope I’m wrong.
That’s a great place then.
GREAT PICTURE.............
Agree. Election fraud should be a capitol crime.
It’s a sad, heartbreaking picture.......there is nothing great about a parent in mourning......God bless her
The sad part isnt that they did it and got away with it. The sad part is that there hasnt been a reckoning for it.
Dementia Joe is BEYOND DESPICABLE!
In Sullivan, the plaintiff was L. B. Sullivan, an elected Commissioner of Montgomery, Alabama. One of the defendants was the New York Times, who published an advertisement critical of Sullivan, paid for by the other defendants.23.
- The general proposition that freedom of expression upon public questions is secured by the First Amendment has long been settled by our decisions. The constitutional safeguard, we have said,
- 'was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people...
- The maintenance of the opportunity for free political discussion to the end that government may be responsive to the will of the people and that changes may be obtained by lawful means, an opportunity essential to the security of the Republic, is a fundamental principle of our constitutional system...
- (I)t is a prized American privilege to speak one's mind, although not always with perfect good taste, on all public institutions...'
- and this opportunity is to be afforded for 'vigorous advocacy' no less than 'abstract discussion.'
- The First Amendment, said Judge Learned Hand, 'presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues, than through any kind of authoritative selection.
- To many this is, and always will be, folly; but we have staked upon it our all.' Mr. Justice Brandeis, in his concurring opinion in Whitney v. California, gave the principle its classic formulation:
24.
- 'Those who won our independence believed...
- that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government. They recognized the risks to which all human institutions are subject.
- But they knew that order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination;
- that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government;
- that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones.
- Believing in the power of reason as applied through public discussion, they eschewed silence coerced by law—the argument of force in its worst form. Recognizing the occasional tyrannies of governing majorities, they amended the Constitution so that free speech and assembly should be guaranteed.'
25.
Thus we consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.
To parallel the story in this thread, the government official is Joe Biden, the person critical of Biden is the mother of the slain soldier, and Facebook is the forum where the criticism was published.
However, Facebook is taking the opposite view that the New York Times did, and suspended the mother instead of defending her right to have "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" debate that is full of "vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks" on Biden.
It's a shame how the institutions of public discourse have turned away from holding government accountable and towards silencing the critics of government.

I can not even begin to imagine the pain these families are going through.
I’ve said it before: I hope everyone in the BiteMe Administration suffers the same fate as Il Duce. I’d love to see them all hung up by their ankles in a public square and spit upon (among other things).
