Stupid is as stupid does. Sad that we have those that will not learn.
As for the Democrats I know you need money to beat the stupid people. But I live on Social Security, which was a Democratic idea. So the Republicans can go suck eggs before I send one cent to them, or change your ways, thank you.
Democrats that are not politicians keep up the good fight, those that are politicians I don’t listen to you anymore. Stop asking for money and DO SOMETHING. I have not been impressed.
Wow, there’s a lot of BS from Billy today. So many non-sequiturs and false conclusions. Sure, putting more money into education so we can attract quality teachers will dumb down students. Complain about food prices going up and then complain about the actual people (mostly immigrants) who work in the fields and meat packing plants. US citizens are so reluctant to do the jobs that food is rotting in the fields when there aren’t the immigrants there to pick and process it.
Funny how the economy recovers under Democrats and then comes crashing down under Republicans, time and time again. Even Trump observed that.
Interesting that when Trumpdy Dumpdy was wasting billions on a racist and completely unnecessary wall, MB didn’t say a word against it. When the orange blob more than doubled the nation’s debt with a tax giveaway to the ultra-rich, we heard crickets from MB.
Now that a popular Democratic president is actually doing something to help the middle class and working class, MB is screaming about deficit spending.
Ban Trump? Not so fast. Florida is about to pass a law to stop Facebook and Twitter from censoring politicians
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely to sign into law a bill that would prevent social media companies Facebook, Twitter and Google’s YouTube from “deplatforming” politicians such as former President Donald Trump.
The bill was approved Thursday by the Republican-controlled state Legislature.
It would order social media companies to publish standards with detailed definitions of when someone would be censored or blocked and make companies subject to as much as $250,000 daily fines for deplatforming a Florida candidate. The bill would require a social media company to notify users within seven days that they could be censored, giving them time to correct posts.
Republican lawmakers in Florida said legislation is needed to curb the influence the nation’s leading social media companies have over the national conversation.
“This bill abandons conservative values, violates the First Amendment, and would force websites to host antisemitic, racist, and hateful content. Content moderation is crucial to an internet that is safe and valuable for families and Floridian small businesses, but this bill would undermine this important ecosystem,” Carl Szabo, vice president and general counsel of trade group NetChoice, said in a statement to USA TODAY.
Szabo argued that the legislation would make it more difficult for conservatives to get their voices heard.
He told Florida lawmakers this month that “conservative speech has never been stronger.”
“No longer limited to a handful of newspapers or networks, conservative messages can now reach billions of people across multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Gab, Parler, Rumble and MeWe,” Szabo said. “We’ve seen the rise of conservative voices without having to beg for an op-ed in The Washington Post or New York Times or a speaking slot on CNN. Social networks allow conservative voices to easily find conservative viewers.”
Conservatives intensified attacks on social media companies after the ejection of Trump and other conservatives in response to the attack Jan. 6 on the U.S. Capitol.
DeSantis, a Republican and a Trump ally, condemned the “oligarchs in Silicon Valley” for deplatforming Trump and other conservatives.
Without citing evidence, DeSantis said Facebook, Twitter and YouTube use their size, advertising power and global reach to influence thought and play favorites – being tougher on those who comment from the political right than left.
DeSantis revived his criticism after a roundtable he held in March was taken down from YouTube because the governor and scientists he invited were accused of airing COVID-19 misinformation.
