Lot of buzz about Freedom of Speech. Have you ever written a letter to the editor to your local newspaper. I did a couple of times and now you can in many places just post online. The interesting thing is they have rules, word count, topic and such. Even Twitter has rules. Some of them you would think are common sense, but no, they have actual written rules. I would bet if you went there and looked at the rules you would say they were pretty sensible. With that said I get a huge kick from folks who are on whatever platform they are on complaining how they or someone they know are being oppressed, that their speech or thoughts or whatever is being infringed upon. The society I live in has become entitled. We believe that whatever comes from us or some other like-minded soul should not be censored, unless they don't agree with you. My society believes that if your opinion doesn't line up with my opinion you are evil and deserving of being bullied and ridiculed. This society we share believes that there is only one right and I am standing on it. I even saw a sign that says vote a certain way because, We might have our faults but the other side is pure evil. Back to where I was going with this. These platforms have rules. The groups I belong to have rules, even those who say we don't have rules. I was banned from a group that had no rules because I was a moderate, didn't lose any sleep. I was not allowed to comment on another group because I would ask questions and post rebuttals to this former politicians stuff. Doesn't make a difference. As for my rules, I have only unfriended 1 person since I have been on any platform and that was because he said he was a racist and I got NO TIME FOR THAT. I may dislike someone for a lot of reasons, but the color of their skin AIN'T EVER GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM. Like I said rules, they have them, we have them. You don't like someone telling you what time to be at work, start your own business and wait for your customer to wonder what time you will show up to do the job they are going to pay you for. Don't like the rules on your social media platforms, start your own and make sure you tell everyone you got no rules.

I recently saw a poll that indicated that over 60% of those polled believed that abortion should remain legal. Although in theory that mat be the case, I don't think it is going to make a difference in the elections. There may be a lot of folks who are single issue voters but I think most have abortion further down the list. I think everyone has a right to their beliefs but I think Barry Goldwater said it correctly.
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

These are the same Christian Fascists who have for years fear mongered Sharia Law.

These Aholes will never vote yay unless it’s a tax cut for the wealthy. This shortage is because of hoarding, corporate mismanagement, and trump’s America First trade deals.

I read today Republicans have voted against bills that would make the child tax credit permanent, create paid family leave and maternity leave, a bill to help the baby formula crisis, and a bill to denounce domestic terrorism and provide funding to combat it. It's a request that law enforcement has been making since the last election.
Does anyone know who these people are working for?

So proud to have a President who believes disease is a real threat and relies on the advice of medical doctors and disease experts.
If Monkeypox does becomes a threat will MAGAs be vaccinated or rely on some Facebook cures like we saw with COVID? The horse paste, bleach, Hydroxychloroquine, light bulbs up the ass, etc.
Whatever the case we know it will be interesting.

Best thing I’ve seen in a long while. This young man was not allowed to say gay so he was forced to use code words when writing his speech because here in DeSantis’s Florida kids are being taught to fear certain words.

Predictably Republicans are rallying around the real victims of the latest child massacre, guns.

Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene! Waiting for the these idiots to open their pieholes.

Have republicans allowed these mass shooters to arm themselves to the point law enforcement is now hesitant to engage?
If the time line is correct he could have done that damage with a flintlock.

He can have all the time he wants by presenting himself under oath to the committee.
Be like Hillary.

Is there any better argument for eliminating the electoral college than trump, a lifelong lying grifting conman, Giuliani, Eastman, Ellis, and others attempt and ongoing efforts to manipulate it through fake electors, outright lies, and other means to steal the presidential election from the American people?
