Sure. Like that.

But was Musk running Twitter during the height of Covid? Was Musk running Twitter during the Hunter scandal which polls suggest would have buried Biden in the 2020 election. The story was squashed.

LOL

Who was running the gov at the height of COVID?

Who was running the gov during the fictional Hunter scandal?

Here's a hint: it was the guy under FBI investigation during both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

Oh and your poll is Rasmussen, lmao. Did they predict your red wave, champ?

Your hilarious theory of the case is that Trump's FBI director suppressed the Hunter scandal you imagined.

Oh, and the only gov employees taking foreign money were Jaree and Ivanka.

Ooooh, it‘s another MEMO. 🤣

What percentage of all Twitter internal communications did the “Twitter files” comprise, Bac?

What’s that? You don’t have any idea? You’re saying that, as far as you know, it’s 0.0005% and someone could similarly sift through the remaining 99.9995% and pull out cases where employees are discussing filtering disinformation that targets people all over the political/ideological spectrum? Or even, gasp, filtering the free speech of foreign fake/bot accounts, which aren’t political in nature and aren’t protected by the US constitution at all?

By golly Bac, that’s mighty clear-minded of you. Glad to see you employ critical thought instead of being like one of those weirdo flaky conspiracy theorists with tremendous persecution complexes.

Ask them which tweet the government made Twitter take down.

it's always a fun question to watch them spin.

Judge in question was a guy who blocked vaccine mandates using false information about vaccines and cited a discredited doctor in his ruling.

I suspect we will see a quick appeal on this current ruling.

I find the whole social media misinformation thing fascinating. I am sympathetic to the notion of free speech but understand that the founding fathers never intended pure free speech. I also understand that we are a nation of idiots who now will believe anything they see on social media as long as it fits in their political or social view of the world regardless of whether it's true, makes sense, etc.

Weird times.

Remember, the new move by Federalist Society appointees is to just make up facts at random to build the narrative Murdoch media hands out. See also 303 Creative.

But I suspect this one will go the way of the loose Cannon rulings because it's just too far out for the FedSoc members of the SCOTUS who don't take bribes.

"United we stand. Divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs."
-- Patrick Henry (1799)
Would not the folks trying to "fundamentally transform America" be the folks splitting away from America into a "faction"?

No..i also got lets attacks judges when they dont do what i want

Simply pointing out facts. The judge who ruled on vaccine mandates used questionable information in his ruling including info from a doctor who had been discredited (such as claiming he worked for Baylor when he no longer did).

There are liberal judges who no doubt do similar things for their desired outcomes. Shoot, Brown Jackson misrepresented data in her recent dissent to the affirmative action SC ruling.

This country is on a high speed partisan train and I don't see any way it's stopping any time soon, even at the judicial level.

Henry was responding to The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, which proposed that each state has the power to declare that federal laws are unconstitutional and therefore voided or nullified. Federalists (like Henry and Washington) held that only the Federal judiciary had the authority to make such determinations. Sixty years later, that conflict and division grew into violence that resulted in 1.5 million casualties, out of a population of 31.4 million (1860). When politics fail....

So like sanctuary cities and places passing unconstitutional gun laws? Those kind of injuries against Federal Law and the Constitution? Because I'm seeing the same groups of people again.

IIRC correctly those same people were for slavery in the middle 1800s and against implementing the changes required by civil rights laws passed 100 years later too.
