You'd have an easier time finding people willing to agree with you if you actually made some kind of on topic point. It'd also help if right wing views and policies weren't wrong pretty much all of the time.
Someone needs to inform the judge that truth is now what conservatives feel it is. If Nunes lawyer isn't prepared to do so, I'm sure one of the conservative commenters here will be more than happy to.
Why would anyone want people who are itching to assault civilians from wearing a symbol that identifies them as such? When the dust settles on thus, it'll make them easier to identify and sure won't do them any favours when charges are filed.
So brave of them, not selling a broken, easily abused technology to people who'd abuse it while they'll face pushback fir doing so. So brave of them promising to wait a year for the heat to die down then shift the blame to legislators for not stopping them. No doubt while pumping millions into lobbying efforts to block any attempts at legislation that will stop them.
While I'm generally not in favour of union busting, the police unions have spent too long defending the indefensible, acting as a blue wall to protect the worst of the worst cops from suffering the full brunt of the consequences of their actions. They've left cops feeling invincible politically, and lead to the 'Shoot first, make up a justification for it later' mindset becoming so widespread, as they know they won't be treated like anyone else.
Any organised protest movement, any group that defends minorities against racists abusing the machinery of the government and the far right will be labelled terrorists and the intelligence and police services will do whatever they can do dismantle them even if they need to incite violent action to justify doing so. It doesn't matter how much good they do, it doesn't matter that the aim of the group is to try and thwart fascist groups, if they seem like they aspire to changing the status quo, they'll be smeared, if not outright murdered as the leadership of the Black Panthers were.
Yeah, it's going nowhere while republicans are in the majority, not even in a butchered form. They don't want the state to be anything more than a means to inflict their will on America and the world and the absolutely will not accept any reform that doesn't make things worse.
I'm sure when this fails, they'll put forward doomed bills with fancy backronyms designed to try and bully internet companies into bending to their will. I await the Americans United Denouncing Internet Erasure of Nonsense from Conservative Extremists Act, because Conservatives feel that free speech entitles them to an AUDIENCE.
The anti military/America smears have stopped working, the attempts to make ANTIFA into the next Al Qaeda that frightens America into silence and compliance have fallen flat, so it's time to dust off the old favourite, Dramatic voice THE WAR ON DRUGS!
Now watch as they sort through the thousands of unjust arrests to find people with drug convictions and small amounts of weed so they can claim it's all about drugs, that the protests are being manipulated by those they dub thugs.
Hmm, wonder which party had a president resign because they were caught bugging democrats? Wonder which side of the aisle groups like Project Veritas belong to, you know, the group who have been caught doing things like trying to bug the offices of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu? Wonder which current Republican president has donated money to said group through their now defunct scam charity? I wonder which current Republican president's charity was dissolved after it was revealed they were illegally using charitable donations for their own personal and political gain? I wonder which current Republican president has spent the past three years cosying up to dictators and criminals while alienating the democratic world? I wonder which current Republican president has called for foreign powers to hack and investigate his rivals?
So many mysteries we'll never know the answers to unless we actually pay attention to reality... Damn those corrupt democrats for corrupting reality against Republicans! Damn them to heck!
They knew that any electoral interference would likely benefit republicans, either by changing votes to benefit them, or cocking up so badly it would make it easier to justify future voter suppression efforts. By screeching partisan interference, he had an excuse to do nothing and a could make a baseless smear on his opponents, because that's all the republicans have, taxcuts and smears.
The loudest voices calling for peaceful protests and working within the system are those of the people that control the system because they know nothing will be achieved.
Yes, best to bend over backwards to cater to people who screech oppression because they blatantly will not follow the rules of a platform they agreed to when they signed up. The right surely are taking it seriously and have shown they can be 100% trusted to be the the guardians of what qualified as free speech.
You're as much the champions of free speech as a child that's learned to drop the F-Bomb is. You don't know what free speech is, you certainly don't value it for people who aren't like you, you just like saying it over and over and over because you liked the reaction it gets... Only it doesn't get the reaction it used to because it loses all meaning coming from your mouths.
I'm not American, but even I know people who toss around words like unamerican have no interest whatsoever in truth and in actual free speech. It's a right wing buzzword tossed around since days of Joe McCarthy to try and make left wing voices terrified to speak.
Go stick your peaches in another freezer, people have seen this nonsense too many times now to buy it. The right have screeched about Freezepeach too many times, that the words have lost all impact as we all know you're more than happy to hop on board anything that silence people you disagree with.
'I want to be able to speak without criticism and smear the left without any sort of response and any attempt to call me out on my bullsh*t is unamerican leftist censorship!'
'That politician/academic/actor/musician criticised a republican or a republican backed war! They're unamerican!'
He was an editor who didn't edit, he put out an unhinged column by Tom Cotton because it was written by a republican without reading it. Time and time again he did that, giving a platform for the opinions of discredited neocons, climate change deniers and bedbugs to feud with anyone who criticises them just because they're conservatives. He finally went too far and had to suffer the consequences of his actions, that's not anti conservative bias that's just reality. If anything, the NYT opinion columns are proof that the media bends over backwards to cater to conservative absurdity rather than proof they're trying to censor them.
Are TikTok users really using Eagles music to the point it would have any noticeable effect on his income if he did get royalties? He's probably the last person who should appoint themselves as the spokesperson for all of music these days, and definitely not the voice of artists who have any sort of claim to financial losses via TikTok. He's there because major labels need someone to parrot the party line written by music labels, someone that's old enough the the average senator may have heard of them, not because he's actually losing money or the voice of the people.
Guys like Henley won't be happy until we live in a world without music, where there are no public performances of any size without someone getting paid even if the artist is singing original compositions. Whistling in the street? Need a license for that. Playing a radio by a window? License please, even though the radio station is paying them already!
The targets of Q Anon tend to be center right critics of Trump and everyone left leaning. They will actively ignore Trump's connections to Epstein and the way he hired people involved in letting him off the first time treat everything he says as the word of god and believe secret trials and public executions are coming, so it's fairly safe to say their supporters are firmly on the authoritarian right. Even if they weren't at the start, that's where they end up.
This sure is the right way to go about things if you want to stop school violence, not gun control measures, not genuine attempts to care for the mental health of students and fight bullying and toxic masculinity... Legal action over pictures of bombs, that's the ticket!
