  3. It’s hilariously ironic that no one actually read the article, let alone the actual plan, which is focused only on voter suppression by knowingly publishing false voting dates, and just made dumb posts over a very misleading headline instead. It is fucking funny to see who has shared it though.

    How is it any different than the ways the government already currently regulates and criminalizes the internet by prohibiting slander?

    “Warren also criticized how the companies' emphasis on profit contributed to misinformation during the 2016 election, such as false ads that led to polarization and could have suppressed votes from groups like black voters.”

    Well I can’t speak for others, but I read it. I’m sick of of people like Warren and the DNC establishment pushing a racist narrative that black people were tricked into not voting for a shitty candidate like Clinton just to save face that she lost to a POS game show host. The IRA is not the reason we have Trump as her proposal implies.

  18. Hell, you can read the reports for yourselves.

    Here’s one of them I read a while back and had bookmarked:
    https://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/wp-con...A-Social-Media-and-Political-Polarization.pdf
    Russia's IRA activities were designed to polarize the US public and interfere in elections by: o campaigning for African American voters to boycott elections or follow the wrong voting
    procedures in 2016, and more recently for Mexican American and Hispanic voters to
    distrust US institutions;
    o encouraging extreme right-wing voters to be more confrontational; and
    o spreading sensationalist, conspiratorial, and other forms of junk political news and
    misinformation to voters across the political spectrum.

  21. In 2008 the numbers moved quite a lot after Iowa, I’m curious if they will again.

    Lol Dersh just said that the Chief Justice is only the head of the judicial branch but the President IS the Executive Branch and is irreplaceable.

    The Executive branch is huge and the President, much like the Chief Justice, is the head of the Executive Branch.
     
  23. He went full on in on “no potus can be impeached” tonight. Feel like it’s worth asking some republicans if they agree with that statement ...
