  Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

  it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

  You would think Pelosi would see this is going to overshadow the Inauguration or does she just not care?

  They have to know that Trump isnt going to run again in 4 years....if I can see that from here surely "the powers that be" can?

  I thought it was just being done as a political move to insure Trump can't run again in four years? That is one of the provisos attached to being impeached - you cant hold federal office.

  Is that correct?

  So all the time and TAXPAYER money being used for this impeachment to give the Democrats what they perceive as an advantage in the next election?

  i think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.

  one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.

  when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

  pistolpete have you read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?

  It's not about war so much as strategy. I think you would like it.

  "We dont see things as they are we see them as we are" - quote attributable to varied sources

  Most of us here have come out of a controlling religion. Does that make us more easily controlled in the future because the neurons and pathways of memory already exist inside of us?

  Or does escaping one trap set by men make us extremely aware of another one when we see it?

  I didn't realize my post was vague but I will try to be clearer.

  These huge all-encompassing social media monoliths need to enforce their standards equally and they are not.

  The "are not" is provable and is the problem.

  Here is some more context,,,,

  I read yesterday that the Chinese Communist Party is allowed on twitter? As is The Ayatollah?

  Or to use a direct line of reasoning from your post,,,,they took down Parler because they refused to moderate content about killing named individuals.

  So lets look objectively at this...

  That post by Kathy Griffin of her holding what appeared as the bloody severed head of the President of the United States, because according to her - she was mad at him for the way he treated a reporter?

  Did you know that like a shark in the water that smells blood she has now reposted it?

  And that she bragged about how it was no big deal to just take it down, AGAIN?

  Heres her post

  Kathy Griffin

  @kathygriffin

  A) Twitter locked me out for a few minutes because I reposted my famous Trump photo. Tons of right wing blue checks from James Woods

  @RealJamesWoods

  to Q anon crazy Congresswoman Marjorie Greene

  @mtgreenee

  reported me. All I had to do was delete the post.

  
  

  So she did it once, now she does it again (and he's still the President) and she gets a couple of minutes smack on the hand?

  
  

  This is the danger in these techie boys getting to play judge AND policeman. They are all over the board, thats not justice thats a monopoly.

  We all walk through our days thinking our opinion is the correct one but a good way to test ourselves is to reverse the players and see if our personal thoughts still hold.

  Here's an example.

  @benshapiro·
  
  Imagine if, in the midst of the massive BLM riots this summer, the entire tech infrastructure had deplatformed Facebook because some had used that app to plan events devolving into violence. People would rightly have called that an insane act of ideological fascism.

  The belief that somehow "going along to get along" is the answer.
  

  Dont folks know, you"appear" to go along until your plan is ready to execute. And then you act!

  Geesh, even I know that.

  CBS has a show on Sunday mornings called "Full Measure"

  The interview this morning was with a whistleblower from Google named Vorhees.

  Among other things he said Google runs an algorithm called

  "Machine Learning Fairness"

  It is an artificial intelligence program thats purpose is to intervene when humans are being "unfair".wether what they are saying is factual or not.

  He gave a non-political example of if a person googled "CEO's of companies. What would show up is a huge prorportion of men's photos.

  the AI program would deem this unfair and add pictures of women which while not "factual" is believed by Google to be more "fair".

  Sundar Pichai CEO of Google testified before Congress that they don't have blacklists

  that they don't approach their work with a political viewpoint.

  The whistle blower then gave examples of how this is untrue.

  Other media giants were mentioned besides Google.

  Example: In the early days of the virus, CNN said masks not effective and FaceBook allowed it.

  In addition, FB banned ads on the sale of medical masks at that time

  FB is spending millions to fund the Fact Checker organizations. Many of these organizations are also anti Trump

  "Science Feedback" is an example of one of their fact-checker on Wuhan that was wrong in its data - they were wrong because they used an American scientist who worked in Wuhan as their source.

  Another example is given:

  Twitter deleted a New York Times expose on Hunter Biden. Jack Dorsey CEO of Twitter declined to be interviewed for this show.

  This show is called "FULL MEASURE" and is carried by CBS and hosted by Sharyl Atkisson.

  There are more inflammatory things said, such as the whistleblower finally resigned when he realized Google was in fact attempting a coup on the President of the United States.

  I have a question. Do any of these social media platforms (twitter, facebook etc) get funding from the government?
