While corporations are people and all of that shit...
Why do we allow a few people to demand the right to control what other people do?
If I passed a law outlawing evangelical christianty from my state, I'd be in the middle of a firestorm and constitutional lawsuits.
But somehow these same evangelicals can demand laws giving them final say over what someone else can so with their life, and that's okay??
They got SCOTUS to hear their cases about muhrights and not being restricted on numbers or mask wearing in churches, but SCOTUS dodges another Constitutional rights case because???
If you don't approve of a abortion, good for you.
Don't have one, do not have sex that can result in offspring.
But you do not have a right to tell others no, refuse to allow the teaching about how babies are made, how to avoid being pregnant, force a child to have her daddies baby, force a woman to carry a rapists baby, all while demanding your tax dollars don't pay for helping these children you demanded be born.
Corporations do not care about these issues, they care about getting money into the hands of elected officials so they can call those favors in when they need another law to keep anyone from challenging their monopoly or forcing them to live up to their word.

Re: Re: Re: Re:

It was headline grabbing AG's (looks at the Judges husband) riding the insanity of 26 trillion underaged kids shipped in to the superb owl.
Then some Congress critters just on the morality bus & despite not supposing to be politically motivated here we are.
And their opening "evidence" is some child talking about how they were raped & pimped out, by someone not actually on trial for raping and pimping her out before this jury, but the guys who had a platform.
The bank robbers drove a ford, so we're suing ford for theft.
The bank robbers drove on a road, so we're suing the county that maintains it.
The bank robbers hid out in a Residence Inn, so we're suing Marriott.
Rather than looking at how these kids ended up in the hands on predators & punishing the predators... we're suing a platform for not doing 'enough', while not mentioning they went above & beyond what the law actually required them to do. That more efforts were put into gathering "evidence" from the site to show wrongdoing of the owners while ignoring the actual bad actors pimping out kids.
We've got thousands of keywords they used to shield themselves & allow kids to keep being pimped out!!!
How many pimps did you take down?
How many kids did you rescue?
Funny that number is so low... and many of them sort of fell into your lap rather than from investigations.

If you invent your own cases you can move the narrative to hit all of the required parts for a 'win'. You get a headline, score some points, & they keep funding your department.
Sex Predators & Traffickers?? You mean like that case against Congressman Bobblehead that's fallen really really silent despite evidence of payments & travel costs for underage girls?
I mean I know in prison if the other inmates find out one touches little kids they met out their own brand of justice, in Congress they just let him keep on being a fscking moron & screaming conspiracy theories.

They believe as long as they aren't screaming the n word at random black people they aren't racists.
They lock their doors when they see one, clutch their purse harder, cross the street, look away when some one attacks them.
They believe black people should just do what the officer told them to, while not listening to the 35 different commands being screamed at a 5yr old stretch out on a scorching parking lot because a license plate reader misread & rather than check they put the whole family down at gunpoint.
They call protesting unamerican, to pull the focus away from why they are protesting.
They believe that black people can protest, but only how & when white folk tell them they can.
They think that black people are treated the same as white people & just want special treatment.
Y'all ever noticed that the white folk get really uppity about special treatment demands, but if you look at what people want, its to be treated the same as white folk?
They are also the sort of people who hum zippity doodah & wonder why they can't buy a DVD of Song of the South from Disney.
Of course they also ignore how much Disney has made selling DVDs of Song of the South in markets where slavery isn't as 'troublesome' while making it sound like they care so thats why they do not make it available in the US.

You can be an important person but since you never managed to make a hashtag trend we have no time to bother with you.
They missed the bus on checkmarks, they let people take them the wrong way for far to long & then kept playing keep away from some people while they approved fake accounts.
I mean I managed to get Tiff v Twitter to trend one day, does that mean I'm worthy of review to be verified?
How in the hell would they manage to verify I am the one true TAC anyways?

I mean they destroyed the site, scared anyone else from starting anything remotely similar in the US, & tried to steal all the founders cash... now its just to have a show trial to waste more time & keep the base riled up instead of asking questions about how shitty the case is that they have to bring up things that they can't even charge the founders with.
Precognition is a curse...
I expected we'd see more of this behavior after the DOJ lawyer tried to tell the inauguration protest trial jury reasonable doubt wasn't that important.
They can not make the case they brought and instead are just trying to get an emotional response verdict rather than following the rule of law. That thing thats supposed to represent justice in this country... perhaps we should be more concerned about what they are up to now that the mask has slipped.

Those same drugs they are still keeping hidden behind IP making sure that no one can decide to help that pool of people?
You mean like the research into Viagra and women that was abandoned because making sure old men can get a hardon was a REAL money maker?
You mean like how the "developed" new insulin to make sure they could keep profiteering off of a captive audience?
