It's been amusing watching conservatives discover why their extreme support of free-market capitalism might be starting to come back and bite them in the arse. If they want to talk about regulating social media, okay, we can talk about a lot of other stuff that could use more regulation too. How about we start with health care?OaktownBear said:What conservative pundits and politicians need to get a clue about is that Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, airlines, corporations, employers, etc., are all in the business of making money. Outside of their little psychotic bubbles of right wing, fringe, conspiracy media, it is no longer good business to keep serving them. They can claim Facebook is taking over society because that works for their little messaging. But Facebook merely responds to society. Facebook should be especially concerning to them. Facebook is the #1 company peddling the ability to influence people. They are essentially an arms dealer that sells to the highest bidder without any ethics. Well, the arms dealer realizes they have been caught selling to the 20% that the world detests and the 20% have used it to attack the other 80%. The giant just woke up and the arms dealer is afraid of losing the 80%.going4roses said:going4roses said:
Basically, go find yourself another platform. And realize if a large majority of decent people didn't loathe what you have done, you'd still be on all of these platforms and businesses wouldn't be pulling donations and employers wouldn't be firing people.

Got me thinking which President's would fare well if we had them all brawl with each other. There is actually a wikipedia page that ranks them all by height. Teddy Roosevelt has the right temperament but was 5'8. I'm probably going with the 6'1 Andrew Jackson. Wikipedia says Jackson was considered a bully as a kid.

Nah. Keep your spank bank to yourself.
I also wish that a person as far gone as him could be removed (or just sign off) from the community because there is no conversation made better by his misinformation, propaganda, lies, and stupidity. There have always been posters here who are more or less interesting, but the last 10 years have seen the slow rise of trolling and truly forum-ruining people. It's such a shame that there aren't more reasoned interesting posters who represent conservative and other perspectives on the issues. It would be cool to have real exchanges of ideas with the intent to learn from one another. Instead we have a handful of caustic buffoons who have no consistent ideology or moral compass spouting insults and conspiratorial drivel who now are sadly representative of the national de-evolution and fall of the GOP.
We used to have Cal-worthy discussions, now it's mostly dumb memes and dumber talking points from brainwashed Trump loyalists.

Why hasn't Trump called these insurrectionists sons of *****es or animals? He has said so many bad things about so many groups of people but all they've said so far is that they condemn violence of all kinds. I think we all know the answers and far too many republicans want to avoid the harsh truth.

You and I both know there have never been "Cal-worthy" discussions here between the two sides because this left wing bubble chased all the conservatives away, at least since I've been here. It's easy to prove, since you view Trump as Hitler and his supporters (or anyone who disagrees for that matter) as white supremacists, you've already disqualified them as people whom you can have an "interesting" exchange with.
The difference between a right wing conspiracy and the truth is about 20 months.

Well, yeah, but I'd like to think the Krafts and Belichick are more in the "I'm a Republican so I support Trump" category, though they're actually friends.
The Krafts and Belichick are huge Howard Stern Show fans. (Belichick called into the Stern show after winning his third Super Bowl, the Krafts have flown up Stern staff via helicopter or private jet to entertain them and they offered to get a staff member Super Bowl tickets last year because he's a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan.)
And if you listen to the Stern show, all Howard Stern does is rail against Trump, even though many of his listeners are covid-denying Trumpers.

Nah, Lincoln, Teddy, and Trump are all Republicans.

I don't listen to Howard Stern so I'll have to take your word. I hope Kraft and Belichick are friends with Trump so this demonstrates to him that doors are closing, but it doesn't win them any points with me. Honesty people like Kraft and his peers hold the most power here. If they collectively made it clear to the Republican establishment that what Trump did is inexcusable congress would flip in a heartbeat. So I view this as a mostly self-serving, empty gesture designed to play both sides.

Well I think he was pretty close with Epstein for a time, and he wishes Maxwell well.
So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

To be clear: Trump does not have friends. Stern was at 2 of Trump's weddings (sitting near O.J. Simpson for the Marla Maples, which took place 6 months before the murders). Trump was at Stern's second wedding.
They were more like acquaintances.

I know you're stupid, so I'll lend you a helping hand: she's talking about Tulsa.

After what he knew was happening in the locker room years ago and kept quiet about, his heart and conscience have smelled like sulfur for awhile now.
