It's one less thing to worry about in terms of potential government overreach, not that it was a huge worry to begin with.

Again, boils down to how much you trust the government. You just trust it much more than others (myself included). I'm just not sure how anyone can shrug it off as "not much potential for government overreach" when the person in charge was talking about wanting the ability to add context to tweets.
Compared to the average SicEm poster, I probably trust it more when Democrats are in power and less when Republicans are. But it's not my level of trust that's changing.

Obviously the potential for overreach was there. The thread wasn't about potential, though. It was about gross, shocking, outrageous violations of the Constitution (none of which anyone could identify).

No one would ever think to use the irs as a weapon.

No one would ever think to use the fbi as a weapon

No one would ever think to use rules and regs as a weapon from any number of government agencies

We are from the government and we're here to help you. Have some government cheese...and a blanket.

Right, but again…we do have an FBI and an IRS, and the world hasn't ended yet. It's a question of which rules and regulations they operate with and what they do with them.

Pretending you have applied the same standard to both parties and their critics is not going to fool many people into believing you actually do that, Sam.

Me, I'm like the prophet Jeremiah: Annoying and rude, but honest and on target.

(ducks before Sam tries to throw me into a well like his predecessors did to Jeremiah)

Not really. But Jeremiah did write the longest screed in the book, so at least you have that in common.

Gotta hand it to Sam. Whether he's speaking as a Pharisee, a self-impressed Royal Sycophant or a Fake Conservative, he gives it 100% every time.

Considering how you ignore anything but Trump hate, I could deliver the Secrets of the Universe and you'd never know.

You know what I just realized? Reading your posts in "Will Ferrell crying" voice makes them. So. Much. Better.

Well, I can understand you thinking of crying , with Trump facing no charges and leading in the polls.

Glad to see you finally admit that you're not a conservative. Or a republican for that matter.

There should be a pole:

From 1-10, where do you rank yourself in trusting the government if 1=Katsung and 10=Sam Lowery?

But there should be a spelling test before you can participate. Private forum, so it's not unconstitutional.

"Disinformation" was the liberal Establishment's traumatic reaction to the psychic wound of 2016. It provided an answer that evaded the question altogether, protecting them from the agony of self-reflection. It wasn't that the country was riven by profound antinomies and resentments born of material realities that would need to be navigated by new kinds of politics. No, the problem was that large swaths of the country had been duped, brainwashed by nefarious forces both foreign and domestic. And if only the best minds, the most credentialed experts, could be given new authority to regulate the flow of "fake news," the scales would fall from the eyes of the people and they would re-embrace the old order they had been tricked into despising. This fantasy turned a political problem into a scientific one. The rise of Trump called not for new politics but new technocrats.

Guys, Sam has drunk the Kool-Aid. COVID and Trump have driven out any semblance of reason or logic. When you have a poster who used to pride himself on his libertarian views defending a partisan "Ministry of Truth," you should know you are no longer dealing with someone playing with a full deck. Fear has warped him.

I appreciate the attempts to help him see the light, but it is a lost cause. Pearls before swine. Unfortunately, it's best to just put him on ignore, as others are now doing.

One of the things that regularly flummoxes me is the general lack of self-awareness of many people on the left. I think they just have a completely different world view. They genuinely believe they are pure and unbiased. For example, some actually believe parroting the Russia Hoax and ignoring the Biden family corruption is completely unbiased and non-partisan. I realize I'm generalizing, but my lived experience is right leaning folks tend to be more self-aware about where they are being biased.

This is one of the problems with putting an activist in a roll like this. Their activism (for whatever cause) supersedes the job they were given.

Agreed. But in her mind, and in the minds of many on the left, she never was an activist but just a fair, objective arbiter of truth.

Kamala Harris is the most dangerous Democrat in the country .

A motivated hater of the first order.......this sexual opportunist is only one mini stroke away from becoming the first woman POTUS.

If and when this happens.....Harris will destroy what's left of our traditional freedoms.






And none of this is accidental.
