Make government funding of companies that censor information illegal through executive order.

So, confirmed:

RWNJs are cool with censorship, as long as it's their team doing the censorship.


Not in the least bit surprising.
If you're referring to my post, that is incorrect. I'm opposed to all censorship (even by my team) and would like any pressure from government to be illegal with severe penalties. Full stop. I want anyone who has done this to be exposed and called out.

The best counter to bad speech is more speech. Government should not be the arbiter of trust or "misinformation" or be surreptitiously trying to set narratives.

Do you agree with this?

Mike Pompeo also prevented the JFK files to be released. He will not be a part of the new Trump administration per today's announcement.

Wonderful job of virtue signaling.


Unfortunately, you are a full throated supporter of the president elect who has promised to suppress speech.

Liars, hypocrites, and morons.

Governments and political parties are the biggest purveyors of "misinformation". Controlling it is the means.

It's the partisan bull crap of "Not my side! It's those other guys!" that has gotten us to this point.

And anyone critical of one side is immediately labeled by that side as an enemy from the other side. So criticism is dismissed out of hand as TDS or C/O/BDS.

And these undereducated, poorly informed, and easily duped people decide our country's future, while a majority of Americans just sit it out and let the lunatics run the asylum.

Censorship and lies hurt everyone, not just those on the right. During these past two weeks after the election, ratings for MSNBC and CNN have been tanking. People on the left are slowly realizing they've been lied to for a long time.

You are so duped and you have no clue. You are still twisting words. Equating what Trump said with what the government has done with all social media before X is unfathomable.


MSM has impregnated your brain with so much crap. Every time their lies are exposed how do you continue to believe?



Have you ever heard Rogan lie? Post a video of him lying if you can.
