These guys have been grilled more than overdone and reheated burgers and still nothing happens to them. It’s all a stage show again and again.

You can only talk about love, puppies, and confessions of guilt. Everything else is prohibited.

Yup. It’s crazy. Congress drags these 3 schmucks out every time they have a kabuki theater craving.

Well, now that Prince Halfwit is on the case from the Aspen Institute, we should be seeing better results than Congress ever got. You know he is such a tech heavyweight!

Congress is good at accomplishing nothing while making lots of noise.

Just think these three scumbags are controlling America and were vastly responsible in stop and steal and collusion to destroy Trump. All three need to have the necks measured.

For those that want to know what it will be like, heres the summary:

“You guys suck and your platforms suck. You stifle free speech and violate every tenant of personal freedom in this land!”

“You want us to deplatform your asses?”

“We’re sorry masters.”

What a pantload. Are these just excuses for Big Data to go to DC to deliver cash? Give orders to politicians? Receive tribute?

Hogwash.

I watched a PBS documentary the other night - it’s called Coded Bias. The premise starts out that tech is inherently biased against darker people because facial recognition doesn’t work so well.

But, it got better, and turned out to be about the Big Brother mess we are in, with Big Tech and Big Data running everything, unelected and unregulated.

It was very informative, even for a know-it-all like me.

All three of the tyrant’s should have 100% of their assets seized and be sent to GITMO to be gang raped on a daily basis for their roles in suppression of both information and voters during the overthrow of a duly elected president.
