Exactly... if you need to be protected from opposing views...
Well then your personal viewpoints must pretty much suck and have no logic behind them!

HERE'S ONE WAY TO GET AT THE REAL TRUTH:
High-Ranking Proud Boy Is Now Snitching for the Feds
April 15, 2022 at 2:50 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 20 Comments
“Federal prosecutors appear to have made their biggest breakthrough yet in their sprawling investigation into the violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A high-ranking Proud Boy has flipped, agreeing to testify in any and all cases where his testimony might be ‘deemed relevant by the government,'”
Vice News reports.
“It’s the latest example of the government strengthening its case against the far-right street-fighting gang that’s become a national household name since its leaders and dozens of members have been charged in relation to the Capitol riot.”
NO ONE CARES CHILD RAPER
Accept the fact Adams believe you to be fascist?
Sorry, Cali, but I am far more interested in the little tete a tete I just carried on with Ch in the thread below.
At least he has enough self respect never ridiculously to have lied that I'm a "child raper."
Nobody is censoring you.
You are again attacking Twitter and Facebook for not allowing Trump to speak on their private owned businesses.
You are just another example of a closed mind..
Just because we don't agree with you you believe that we were brainwashed by the MSM.
People like you believed that the election was stolen.
We look at the evidence.
Fortunately modern civilization can move forward.
MAGA means go back.
from late last year...
Most Say 2020 Election Was Totally Loaded with Fraud
A growing number of likely voters believe that cheating tainted President Joe Biden’s 2020 win over former President Donald Trump, and even more feel that a key Democratic election reform scheme will increase fraud.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 56% of respondents said, "It’s likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who say it’s ‘very likely.’”
That is a significant increase from April, when 51% said “Biden’s election was tainted by cheating.”

Given the direction of polls since then and the mounting evidence that number has probably risen

Texts show how GOP lawmakers shifted on Trump's election conspiracies

Two Republican members of Congress repeatedly pressed former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for evidence of widespread voter fraud before turning skeptical of former President Trump's election conspiracies, texts reported by CNN reveal.
Why it matters: The texts from Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) in the aftermath of the 2020 election highlight the winding road some Trump loyalists took to opposing election objections on Jan. 6.
Sp0kespeople to both lawmakers confirmed the authenticity of the texts to Axios. "The messages speak for themselves," said Roy spokesman Nate Madden.Lee Lonsberry, a spokesman for Lee, said, "The text messages tell the same story Sen. Lee told from the floor of the Senate the day he voted to certify the election results of each and every state in the nation."The texts are reportedly among those handed over by Meadows to the Jan. 6 select committee. A spokesperson for the panel declined to comment.
Lee texted Meadows on Nov. 7, 2020, the day major outlets called the election for Biden, urging the Trump team to use "every legal and constitutional remedy" to challenge the election and to work with pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.
Lee later expressed concerns about "potential defamation liability" from Powell's outlandish claims at a Nov. 19 press conference and, later that month, turned to another pro-Trump lawyer: John Eastman.He continued to press Meadows for talking points and guidance in the following months, and as late as Dec. 8, he said that "there could be a path."On Jan. 3, however, he raised "grave concerns" about plans by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to object to certifying the election, warning it "could all backfire badly."
Roy texted Meadows on Nov. 5, "We have no tools / data / information to go out and fight RE: election / fraud. If you need / want it, we all need to know what's going on," adding two days later, "we need ammo. We need fraud examples."
,Like Lee, Roy voiced support with pro-Trump attorneys and pleaded for more evidence in the following weeks, texting on Nov. 19 "we need substance or people are going to break."On Dec. 31, however, Roy texted that Trump "should call everyone off," and the following day he said, "If POTUS allows this to occur... we're driving a stake in the heart of the federal republic."On Jan. 6, Roy, like many other Trump allies, texted Meadows as the Capitol riot unfolded, calling it a "sh*tshow" and telling him to, "Fix this now."
The bottom line: Both lawmakers voted against objections to certifying electors from Arizona and Colorado.
Roy co-signed a statement with other conservative House Republicans three days before Jan. 6 opposing election objections. Lee reportedly shared the statement with Senate colleagues, prompting public criticism from Trump.Lee bristled at that criticism, texting on Jan. 4 that he was "calling state legislators for hours" and "trying to figure out a path that I can persuasively defend," but that "my ability to do that with credibility is impaired."
Scott thinks that the msm brainwashed them.
Roy and Lee are very conservative people who have a love for the Constitution

James, the personal insults will happen!
Roger...
Why is it that our obsessive compulsive behavior about a former President is so overwhelming that you cannot stay on any topic for more than just a few minutes...
I mean seriously... you need some help.
Perhaps you should talk to the fifth Beatle about what which doctors he sees for his mental illness.
Scott he is still in charge of the Republican Party and far to many others who will finish the slow motion coup.
A similar event like The end of Reconstruction, passing the voter legislation, would lead to minority control for a generation. Unless the courts stop it.
Mark Shipper has IED and it's ugly to see.
I'm here because I made mistakes, but not because I'm mentally ill!

If the President Biden had the same problem it would be on The New York Times and the Washington Post.
Scott he is still in charge of the Republican Party and far to many others who will finish the slow motion coup.
He is a private citizen...
The fact that you want to see him jailed because you are afraid if he isn't that he will legitimately win the 2024 election is your own problem. Your obsession with it is overwhelming.
These people actually are the current Republicans and yes Trump Republicans.
Do you agree with this??? They hate Bush
Neoconservatism has lost its home in the Republican Party. But the neoconservatives do not have a home in the Democrat party, either, which has moved so far to the left politically and culturally.
Continetti concludes his Commentary article by claiming that it is the neoconservatives who remain "committed to the principles and institutions of the American Founding and to the ordered liberty at its heart," whereas the Trump-led populist-nationalists and their intellectual supporters have abandoned those principles. But Continetti should read George Washington's Farewell Address, which contains a lucid and enduring summation of the nation's founding principles and aligns quite comfortably with "America First."
Washington told his countrymen that America "has a right to concentrate your affections." He warned against "overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty." He warned against "faction," which could result in "a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community" replacing the "delegated will of the nation." He praised our system of checks and balances while noting that "religion and morality" are two necessary pillars of "political prosperity."
In foreign policy, Washington urged his countrymen to "observe good faith towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all." He counseled to avoid "inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others" because such approaches could impel the nation to "war ... contrary to the best calculations of policy." We should not "sacrifice the interests" of our own country to foreign quarrels that have nothing to do with America's interests. "Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another," he wrote, "cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other." "Real patriots," he continued, "who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests." The United States, he concluded, should "choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel."
Those "founding principles," not neoconservatism, should guide the modern conservative movement.
If he runs, even if he loses again the Republicans will overturn the election results and like on January 6th.
The United States will no longer exist.
He's changing his past decision
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration said it will resume selling leases to drill for oil and gas on federal lands starting next week, but with a major reduction in the number of acres offered and an increase in the royalties companies must pay to drill.
The Interior Department announced that on Monday it will release a sale notice for leases to drill on 144,000 acres of government land — 80 percent less than what was initially being evaluated for potential leasing.
President Joe Biden, who on the campaign trail called for an end to drilling on federal lands, has been looking for ways to temporarily increase U.S. energy production to help drive down the price of gas.
If he runs, even if he loses again the Republicans will overturn the election results and like on January 6th.
Not even sure what that means, Roger...
But right now he is the betting favorite to be the President in 2025. Biden is second, DeSantis third, Harris fourth, Nikki Haley fifth.
After that you are looking at 2000-1 odds.
You do realize that nothing got overturned in 2020?
Legal insurrection is a fascist organization.

I’ve written for years about the loss of institutions, how almost everything has been captured and weaponized. A main focus at Legal Insurrection has been to publicize and chronicle this collapse. If you don’t see the problem, you can’t protect yourself and those around you. DONATE
It’s coming at us from every direction, and it seems impossible at times. We are swimming in a sea of media and social media lies. So much of what comes out of mainstream corporate media or big tech is a manipulation.
The lunatics who are running the asylum are not the majority, though they have seized the levers of power.
It’s not just universities, but professional schools as well, including law schools and medical schools. And not just specific institutions, but accreditors like the American Bar Association and leadership institutions like the American Medical Association. They cannot be reformed from within.
There is no age too young to feel the impact, as the youngest children are manipulated with race and gender ideology, robbing them of their childhoods. If you weren’t awake before, Disney should be a major wake up call, or perhaps woke up call.
No institutions. No trustworthy mainstream media reporting. Big tech working to silence people and manipulate politics and culture.
That’s why until the institutions can be clawed back or new institutions created, we need to look out for and protect each other.
It’s why we help faculty under pressure, K-12 teachers, parents, and veterans. It’s why we proudly are part of the parents movement sweeping the nation. It’s why we fight every day to get the truth out.

Problem Roger..
Trump wants to run for election in 2024. He wants to win the primary. He wants to make sure that liberal Democratic governors do not executive action and liberal SOS do not guidance their way around passed election laws...
He wants an even playing field where only valid legal votes are counted.
Then he wants to win.
Somehow you see that as a coup?
It's entirely 100% normal and legal.
But you hate Trump SO MUCH that the mere thought of him running again, much less winning, must be illegal.

Other Routes to Reducing Inflation
There are other areas where we can look to reduce inflation pressures by hitting those at or near the top of the income distribution. We can subject doctors and dentists to more competition, both nationally and from increasing access to qualified foreign professionals. Bringing their pay more in line with their counterparts in other wealthy countries could save us more than $150 billion a year on our tab for their services.
We can also change the rules of corporate governance to get CEO pay in line with their actual contribution to their companies. If the ratio of CEO pay to the pay of an ordinary workers was 20 or 30, like it was back in the 1960s and 1970s, CEOs would get $2 million to $3 million a year, instead of $20 million or more. This would have a huge impact on pay structures at the top throughout the economy, pulling tens of billions a year out of the pockets of some of the richest people in the country.
These and other policies could dampen inflation by directly lowering the price of many goods and services and reducing the purchasing power of the rich and very rich. I discuss these policies in more detail in Rigged (it’s free).
The point is that if we want to reduce inflationary pressures, there are a whole set of policies that we can look to implement that would lower the incomes of people at the top of the income ladder. Unfortunately, we are not likely to go this route, because rich people have enormous political power and will likely beat back any effort to reduce their income.
In short, when it comes to fighting inflation, it is too politically difficult to go high. Instead, policy types look to go low and have the Fed reduce the purchasing power of those workers at bottom of the income distribution.
Common Dreams is interesting 🤔

Twitter Adopts ‘Poison Pill’ to Thwart Elon Musk
April 15, 2022 at 5:13 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 44 Comments
“Twitter on Friday threw a roadblock in front of Elon Musk’s hostile takeover bid, adopting a plan known as a ‘poison pill’ that would make it much more expensive and complicated for the Tesla CEO to take control of the social media network,” the Washington Post reports.
“The plan seeks to thwart Musk from growing his stake in Twitter by giving other shareholders the option to buy more shares in the company at a discounted price. It would effectively flood the market with new shares that Musk would have to buy at a higher price to acquire the company, making a takeover potentially prohibitively expensive.”
Ukraine Governor Says Mariupol Is Gone

Said Pavlo Kyrylenko:
“The enemy cannot seize Mariupol. The enemy may seize the land that Mariupol used to stand on, but the city of Mariupol is no more. The city of Mariupol has been wiped off the face of the earth by the Russian Federation, by those who will never be able to restore it.”

Successfully Fighting Inflation Starts at the Top
The Fed's high interest rate approach to stemming inflation is about reducing the bargaining power of workers, and especially workers at the lower end of the wage ladder.
DEAN BAKER
April 15, 2022
With the high rate of inflation reported for March, the chorus for strong measures from the Federal Reserve Board is growing louder. The idea is that the Fed needs to substantially accelerate its pace of rate increases. This will slow economic growth, increase unemployment and then put downward pressure on wages.
It is worth noting that wages have not been driving inflation, unlike in the 1970s wage-price spiral. Wage growth has been lagging price growth, as there has been a shift from wages to profits since the pandemic.
A slower pace of wage growth should help to slow inflation, since wages are a major cost of production. In this respect, it is worth noting that wages have not been driving inflation, unlike in the 1970s wage-price spiral. Wage growth has been lagging price growth, as there has been a shift from wages to profits since the pandemic.
It is also worth noting that the Fed rate hikes will disproportionately hit workers who are most disadvantaged in the labor market. The people who will lose their jobs will be disproportionately, Black, Hispanic, people with disabilities, and people with criminal records.
One of the ironies of much reporting on inflation is that it has claimed that lower income people have been hit hardest by inflation. In fact, wage growth has been most rapid in the lowest paying industries, such as restaurants and convenience stores. It will be interesting to see if news stories tell us if these low-paid workers are doing better when the rate of inflation has slowed, but they’ve lost their jobs.
The Origins of the Current Inflation
It is fashionable among Republican politicians, and political reporters, to blame the upsurge in inflation on President Biden’s policies. This is hard to reconcile with a simple fact, inflation has risen pretty much everywhere. Our year over year inflation rate was 8.5 percent as of March, the year over year inflation rate in Europe over this period has been 7.5 percent.
Needless to say, no one here would be celebrating if our inflation rate was 7.5 percent. There are reasons why our economies, as well as our measures of inflation, differ, but the point is that most of the jump in the inflation rate over the last year had little to do with anything the Biden administration did or did not do. The rise in the inflation rate was the result of difficulties associated with reopening from a worldwide pandemic, as well as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Blaming Biden for high inflation, without noting the pandemic and the war, would be like blaming Louisiana’s governor for the housing shortage in 2006, without mentioning that the most populated part of the state had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, this level of seriousness is pretty much the norm in current policy discussions.
He will insult you
SAT was in higher than 91% of others.
You showed us your SAT score Roger... it was 1580 out of 2400 at the time. I scored almost 2000 (as a Junior)... or 400 points higher than you.
We discussed this already. You "thought" your score was great because you compared it to a score today (which goes only 1600).
It was the equivalent to scoring 1053 on your SAT
The current average is 1068
It might be slightly higher than average (as nobody really got to 2400 back in the day while 1600 is attainable now. But you were not at 91%. Not even close.
Ch, do you want Trump to be the GOP's nominee for President?
Yes or No?
2024 is a long ways off, Reverend.
I would probably prefer DeSantis right now, but if Trump was the GOP nominee there isn't a Democrat out there who would get my vote over Trump. He is unquestionably a better President than Biden (mean tweets or not) and there is no other Democrats out there who are serious at this point.
We've seen what a disaster the Democratic Party is right now. They need to be taken to the woodshed in 2022 and then completely cast out in 2024.
There was a time when Germans and Italians needed to be protected from Nazi and fascist views... There was a time when Russians needed to be protected from Stalinist style communist views...
Funny you should mention that Reverend.
In both cases, the socialist states controlled the media and the national narrative and punished political dissenters. Putin does the same thing in Russia. You seem to believe we should follow suit and only allow the woke liberal narrative to flourish and punish everyone else.
Never in history has there ever been a bonafide "good" Government who used their power in a positive manner to "censor" their critics. If you cannot win the arguments (and have to use force to silence them) then your message and leadership is not very good.
Again Reverend.
I went from 11,000 twitter followers to 5200... Most of then banished for talking about Biden's laptop, election fraud, or citing international Covid studies and doctors (who turned out correct). All this was made possible because Biden won and these liberal social media owners decided they could get away with it.
There is never a good argument for censoring the truth Reverend.
🤣If the President Biden had the same problem🤣
He is shaking hands with air.
I have noticed that most of our "Mainstream Media" now almost inevitably, when they talk about Trump's claim that the election was rigged or stolen from him, simply state that there is no factual basis for his claim.
They simply refuse to repeat unchallenged what they KNOW to be a lie.
They do not keep him from speaking. They simply state, when and if they care to repeat what he says, that his claims have no basis in fact.
