    Guy went to prison for joking like that. I guess the Dems thought some of their voters might've actually bought it...

    If this exact same censorship proposal was made exactly 4 years ago to the day, how many libs would be screaming about fascism and dictators?

    "We the Democrats will vote by mail and vote early" and MANY times. Be sure and bring your dead uncle's ballot with you.

    we will.

    My point is , knowing that we DEMS will do all these and win election, why are you even thinking of voting?

    Yeah right, the stench of despersaion. The content desiminated on the internet as real from the laptop, went from a partially blind technician to every RW outlet and was portrayed as actual content, no chain of custody. Since the evidenciary chain of custody never existed from the get go, your are spewing pure UNPROVEN nonsense. And you've succeeded in dragging the thread topic into a conspiracy zone of comfort. How disingenious to claim that the stuff on the net is real...

    I gave the email example because that would be a clear, prosecutable case if this were a law. Pundit said “A” on the air. Pundit admits privately in an email they knew they were lying on the air. Many cases would be hard to prosecute, but at least the possibility of prosecution could lead to more accountability.

    Oh I destroyed your question....it's irrelevant to foreign election active measures interference that the OP is about. As I've said, you are flailing since government's job is national security which includes combating foreign active measures designed to cause internal division as well as election interference.

    So, the FBI is lying then? Funny that you trust them to censor people, but don't trust them in this... Selective much?

    I think you are desperate to take this conversation into your conspiracy comfort zone. The government's job is national security and making sure social media is aware and isn't unknowingly being used to desiminate foreign active measures propaganda and interfere in an election. Why the Trump right needs that to tip the tables is beyond credibility.

    This is TERRIBLE. Now MAGA supporters will have to spend a few more seconds to find their Russian-generated propaganda. For people who rarely read past the headline this might have serious impacts on how much disinformation they can consume.

    I love watching leftists-a group that fluffed and worshipped communist Russia for 70+ years, pretend that the right is allied with what is still a leftist authoritarian nation

    You didn't 'destroy' anything except your own integrity. You are trying to sidestep a direct and relevant question.

    Im asking you to justify your trust in a govt (and cooperative media corporations) that lied to convince us to help murder 500000 people for no ****ing reason.

    ...and you're trying to avoid answering.

    The only one showing their desperation here is you. I've shown you that your claims about the hunter biden laptop was false. I've shown you that the FBI has corroborated the info contained in the laptop and that your claim of "questionable chain of custody" was BS. Yet you still call it a CT. And you question the validity of what the FBI has confirmed. Yet you still have no problem with them censoring.

    It is clear that your motives are political. Not based on any morality, or claims of wanting to be free and Rights upheld.

    The internet info of Hunter's laptop did not come from the FBI prior to the 2020 Trump election arse trouncing. It came for people with no credibility and no reason to have that info as to it's veracity or it's chain of custody was never verified. You are desperate to flog your B/S regarding chain of custody. It's disingenious but expected from hyper partisans that have had their critical thinking stolen from them sadly.

    To the topic, the government's job is national security and to prevent foreign actors executing active measures on the American population, especially during an election cycle where that foreign actor has a preference for a candidate. That should seriously worry any serious American. Deal with it.

    Flogging a strawman of your own creation^^^. Rich...

    Ironic but expected from someone that encourages conspiracy theories spawned by local idiots and foreign actors to hurt America. I understand why some need to do it but undermining America only help it's enemies. Why do it? Rhetorical. The government's job is national security, and that means stopping foreign actors from causing internal chaos by exploiting the 1st using active measures propaganda.

    Your credibility was never in question as it's never existed in any of your posts I've had to unfortunately read. Now go flog you conspiracy wares elsewhere, your position or motives have been destroyed. That's all done by you.

    I'm not referencing the 2020 election. I'm referencing what is known NOW. You're the one trying to put limits on it in order to avoid the obvious hypocritical stance you have for what is going on.

    And yes, the governments job of national security is to prevent foreign actors from executing active measures on the American populus. I've already told you how they can do it in an acceptable way when it comes to speech and social media. Without trampling on the 1st Amendment. You apparently prefer backroom talks which have been proven to censor legitimate stories. I prefer openness.

    In bold, that's the given for the cooperation re national security , you reaching for your chosen "solution" is pie in the sky unicorn nonsense.

    The laptop is still a RW canard, just give it up, it went no where and Trump was POTUS.

    Your contentions have been debunked since we were talking prior to the 2020 arse kicking Trump took. Shifting your position does help but make you look very desperate and worse, disingenuous.

    YOU may have been talking prior to the 2020 election. I was not, and never was. Anyone can read my posts and see that so your attempt to mischaracterize what I have been saying is nothing but your imaginings.

    And my "solution" is hardly "pie in the sky". It is literally what should be done since the government has no authority to attempt to censor speech within US jurisdiction. I and others have given you evidence that they have done so. You attempting to ignore it as "CT" is just you attempting to excuse your political position.

    You can reply if you wish. I'll be ignoring it. I'm not into arguing with brick walls. I've said my piece. Everyone can see what was said and the truth of what I've said. And see your hypocritical stance.

    Even more words that still just equate to 'I can't answer the question.'

    Its your right to choose to trust the untrustorthy (liars and murderers and corporate war profiteers) ...but you can't reasonably expect other people to as well.

    Maybe you can answer this one: How do you feel about the Patriot Act? Its for 'national security' after all...
