Hey, remember the Voter fraud panel, where they hired all the loudest supporters of voting restrictions, people who went in wanting any excuse to kick as many people off the voter rolls and still couldn't produce any evidence fraud was a widespread thing? Remember how they refuse to release any of their findings because it's so damaging to their narrative? It's going to be that for another conservative bugbear, with the same outcome because facts don't care about conservative feelings.
They're not being silenced because they're conservatives, they're being silenced because they're bigots.
People who've spent much of the last hundred years delighting in the majority oppressing minorities should appreciate the irony in their bigoted subset of the conservative movement becoming a minority in itself and losing what they imagine to be rights due to the majority of americans not wanting to have to put up with their hateful rhetoric and people being treated like that anymore. Even if you don't, they should appreciate the fact they're being treated a whole lot better than conservatives treated gays, lesbians, African Americans, Latin Americans, religious minorities, liberals...
I doubt anyone seriously believes it. One side of the political spectrum knows Barr is weaponizing the DOJ against Trump's enemies and the other side also know he's doing it and are thrilled.
It's what Silicon Valley seems to be for these days, come up with an idea which is 'Do X without paying employee benefits, using a computer or phone somehow, ignore all laws governing the service you provide, run it at a massive loss until it becomes ubiquitous and rivals who need to run at a profit collapse as they can't compete with something intentionally run at a catastrophic loss, then profit by default.' Operating without the consent of their partners is a new one, but the logical next step to operating in cities without permission. No doubt the end goal is to gain the ability to redirect custom to preferred partner restaurants, then bring it all in house and just run their own factory operations with a skeletal staff on nightmare contracts until it can be automated entirely.
You mean I'll stop getting 'Joe Rogan talks to <Alt Right Scumbag> about why conservatives are being silenced' videos in my youtube recommendations? How will I ever recover from that loss?
I for one refuse to believe that Sam C. Cot of the WSJ is merely a PR shill for big telecom conglomerates! He's as trustworthy and neutral as NYT opinion writer Adam T. Telegraphson!
Tim Pool, Joe Rogan and Sargon of Akkad are liberal minds? Are you kidding me? You have guy who dedicates most of his energy to attacking the left on virtually every issue without fact checking, without reading articles he's irate about, a libertarian who gives rightwing lunatics like Alex Jones an audience with no pushback and Sargon of Akkad, fascist sympathiser and failed candidate for a RIGHT WING POLITICAL PARTY. Not left wing, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Isn't it nice to be able to stand on the shoulders of giants and say 'Fuck giants!'
The situation in the UK isn't helped by media personalities going 'maybe there's something to it, we don't know, believing conspiracies are a sign of an enquiring mind!' on TV and getting away with a reprimand. Yikes.
Hey, anything less than having all the power is oppression, don't you know? Being in the majority group means you should be immune from consequence and minorities should be happy to kneel and laugh at all the horrible things said about us in the hope of being seen as the good ones and being persecuted less! Maybe if they get more power they'll be generous and not create laws to punish us for existing, as straight white evangelical Christian males are known for their kindness and tolerance of people they deem as others.
Reality has a left wing bia. By going after one of the less biased of the 'left wing' news outlets, they can smear straight reporting of the republics agenda.
' All bad news is biased, against republicans, only trust the people who echo things you think sound true because you hate minorities and the gays, climb inside the bubble and breathe what you emit! You won't die!"
Without socialism, without government intervention, much of the rural US wouldn't have gotten electricity, water, phones or even postal service. The state of broadband in the US is a damning indictment of how the free market doesn't work when it comes to essential services, it certainly isn't something that needs defending, and definitely not preserving.
Worth noting a British TV and web series with the same premise had been running 3 years before they filmed their entirely original copyrightable idea, and James Cordon had already recorded what was effectively the pilot for Carpool Karaoke.
I wonder why they'd accuse Facebook of censorship to benefit Trump. It's not like they've had off the record meetings with him and put right wing misinformation peddler, and close personal friend and advisor of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller in a position to be the arbiters of truth...
A bartender that graduated cum laude from Boston University College of Arts and Sciences with a BA in international relations and economics, surely she was never going to go anywhere in life.
I love how the right love to laud the American dream when using pulling yourself up by your bootstraps to justify killing social programs and making it harder for poor people to climb out of poverty, then in the next breath decry anyone who ever worked a service job to be able to afford to live for getting a sniff of power. She's clearly unqualified, unlike people on the right who're born into great wealth, have never worked to pay for anything on their way up and have been bailed out through their constant failures in life and business. People that have appointed other members of the lucky sperm club to government jobs in fields they have zero qualifications to hold.
Why not just make something new rather than pumping effort into a port that's unnecessary and doomed? Mario 64 is not some lost classic that isn't available anywhere, and they knew from the outset Nintendo would act.
I'm honestly surprised. In a post 2010's world, I expected a rubber stamp and some un asked for concessions to the private equity firm to make the deal even sweeter for them.
