When Democrats say to Facebook and Twitter, either censor stories that we don't like or lose your government protections, that's not a private company doing what it wants. That's the US government trampling on the constitutional right to free speech as guranteed under the constitution.
That didn’t happen anyway, but don’t you favor having the government force private companies to use their resources to host and amplify the speech of anyone regardless of whatever crap they’re pushing?
Somehow I’m not seeing the constitutionality of your approach.

And what crap is that? That the cornona virus originated in a lab in Wuhan and not due to someone eating a bat? This is the suppression of information for partisan political purposes. We practically have a USSR version of the media at this point.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You're an idiot. It was always stated from the outset that that was a possibility, however it was "unlikely." And it is still unlikely. You want it to be the case so much because you're a racist prick who is looking for an excuse to hate on the Chinese. The virus couldn't have "originated" in a lab, but the spread of it could have originated from a lab. See the difference? Probably not. Now put your tin foil hate back on and tell us what Ben Shapiro thinks.
Chris Hayes: Democrats need 60 votes to try to protect the voting rights people fought for decades to achieve. But Republicans needed just 50 to appoint Supreme Court justices who will tear down those voting rights.
It is both an outstanding example of projection and outrageously hypocritical for Republicans to continue to double down on the gargantuan lie that the 2020 election was rigged in Democrats' favor and use that lie to justify voting restriction laws that, in effect, would make it virtually impossible to prevent Republicans from unfairly rigging future elections in Republicans' favor. Some Republican controlled legislatures are even passing laws that permit them to completely overturn the clear majority will of the electorate, whenever the majority in the legislature doesn't like the election results. They don't even try to hide their blatant hypocrisy!
One has to wonder: which is the greater danger to democracy, the demonstrable determination of Republicans to weaken or destroy it, or the apparent weakness of Democrats' efforts to oppose Republican determination to do so.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
Rachel Maddow reports on Oklahoma State Rep. Sean Roberts' desire to join other state Republicans in attacking elections with a spurious investigation, even though Donald Trump won Oklahoma by a wide margin, an indication that such efforts are more about delegitimizing democracy than overturning the 2020 election.
What purpose of this proposed audit, in a state Trump easily won, can there possibly be, other than to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the very idea of choosing government leaders via popular vote?

If it were always a possibility that Covid originated in a lab why were people banned from Twitter and Facebook for saying so? I'll go ahead and tell you why. The left actively seeks to suppress the flow of information that doesn't support their political narrative much in the same way the Soviet Union and Chinese communist regimes suppress the flow of information to the public.

Asking a dude on the Internet why Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg make the decisions they make.
Why are you so damned retarded? What happened to you?

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
Because while it's theoretically "possible" that Donald Trump molests six year old boys, it would be worthy of deletion if someone started stating it as a bona-fide fact.

Is there a sliding scale for violating the Constitution and modern law? Who gets to decide for someone else what speech of yours that they have to promote or amplify?

Do you really think that Stormfront or Conservapedia is going to allow BLM to post whatever material they want? Or Parler, and Gab, or Gettr? No, they’re not. And that’s how it works when they own their platform.
Do the same rules, when used by arguably conservative-leaning media resources, make you chafe and fret about living in the Soviet Union?
