No Quarter for Joe or the Democrats

That “mineral rights” had anything to do with it.

It was inside town. Makes sense now.

Sure wasn’t. Unincorporated part of the county.

I’m sure Biden will be heartbroken

No, he’ll be giddy, he loves division, watch him cackle when the ACA was signed.

You think he was cackling because he was upsetting the Cons? Versus him passing a lifelong dream? Very self centered if you do.

Why he was cackling is beside the point, he knew it was a very divisive piece of legislation and that half the country abhorred it. It wasn’t appropriate to be gleeful about it.

I guess then all political celebrations are wrong? Because, gee, someone’s going to be angry about everything that happens politically.

That one-time example means nothing and wasn’t the point of what I said. I was speaking sarcastically. I celebrated Biden yesterday. I am celebrating today. And I will celebrate tomorrow. If it pisses anyone off, too damn bad.

Means nothing?

This is Biden’s base.

Hundreds and hundreds of them.

One time example? Hardly.

Looks like some lone wolves are taking this sentiment to an extreme:

NBC News

Arkansas police chief resigns after appearing to call for violence over election

"Never let them forget they are traitors and have no right to live in this Republic after what they have done," one message said.

It does however have to do with free speech and fairness.

Are you suggesting the government get more involved in the free market related to media? Maybe a doctrine of some sort, related to fairness?

Nope, simple principle that doesn’t require much government interference, no bans or deplatforming because tech companies don’t like the content of otherwise legal speech. That is fair to all sides. Think of it as net neutrality for social media. Or, a prohibition against not baking gay wedding cakes.

Blackwolf · 2020-11-09T04:16:56.695Z

This is intriguing - demanding entities allow for all speech (so long as its legal) on their private platforms.

Only if said entities put themselves out there as a platform for user speech, obviously not applicable to publishers as opposed to platforms. To use the baker analogy, if you only do cakes by special order or commission as opposed to being open to sell to the general public. Once you open to the general public, you lose the right to discriminate. Heck, we force cable companies to host public access channels and prohibit them from excluding people based on their content of otherwise legal speech.

Blackwolf · 2020-11-09T04:23:07.431Z

Does that stipulation include online privately owned political forums?

If open to the general public and advertised as such. No skin off my nose if this site was prohibited from banning people for otherwise legal speech. I believe in free speech.

Thank you, most interesting.

Check out Marsh V Alabama sometime. Public function test. Applicable in my view.

This one as well

From https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R45650.pdf

In a 2001 case, the Supreme Court held that a state athletic association, while “nominally private,” should be subject to First Amendment standards because of “the pervasive entwinement of public institutions and public officials in its composition and workings.”62

Sounds like twitter to me.

What facts? Where is the left trying to remove your 1st amendment rights. Provide examples.

Has the CEC been silenced by the government over the last 10 days and I missed it?

I stand amazed every day that the conservative narrative dominates our political discourse yet conservatives cry “censorship”.

REALLY?

I guess you haven’t noticed ONLY the right gets shadow banned, out right banned, flagged, & shut down on many forums.

Naw, it didn’t happen, huh?

Pffffffffffffffft!

Which has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment.

It does however have to do with free speech and fairness.

You want a Fairness Doctrine for social media websites?

The rich will continue to get richer while the poor call each other names and fight over crumbs.

Yes liberal politicians have gotten very very rich over the past few decades. If we are all lucky maybe crumbs will trickle down from their wealthy tables.

Well Joe will get even more rich as prez than he did as VP right?

As for quarter for joe or the dems i plan to give them about as much quarter as they gave Trump.

You know the tax returns for Biden are all available for the last 22 years. He and his wife reported an income of $396,552 in 2016 when he was VP. The VP salary is $230,700 per year. That means Dr. Biden made about $165,000 as part of their joint income.

His high wealth now is a result of activities AFTER he left the VP position.

No one in this country has ever seen the type of socialism about which they are so frightened of occurring here.

I have. Before, during and after. You haven’t.

You haven’t seen it in this country…and you know that type that you may have seen in Central America isn’t coming here.

It is here in some places. Whether or not it becomes national remains to be seen.

I was in Venezuela when Chavez took over. They had the same belief that their constitution would protect them. They truly believed in it.

It would be harder here, but not impossible. Look at the power the national government has taken in the last 100 years. Look at the ruling by fiat through regulatory agencies. Look at the abdication of power by the legislative to the executive.

In a couple hundred years we have gone from “no standing army!” to the President can send the most powerful army in the world to war for weeks with no prior notice to congress.

We have a government which can fine a rancher millions of dollars for digging a ■■■■■■■ stock pond on his own land. Fines levied by unelected bureaucrats. Even though he got the permits he needed from his county and state.

Yeah, it can happen here. And to some degree already is.
