president donald trump’s push for $2,000 covid-19 relief checks all but died wednesday as senate majority leader mitch mcconnell proposed an alternative approach of loading up the bill with other white house priorities that appeared destined to fail.
one priority was for congress to repeal section 230. question: just what is section 230?
answer: if a news site falsely calls you a swindler, you can sue the publisher for libel.
But right now Facebook etc have pulled a bait and switch and said to be pro-free speech but whenever someone exercises that right against their own interests, they find a reason to cancel them.
That's exactly what is happening. It's really a mess and very complex or a better way of saying it is they know how to twist section 230 for their own benefit. I think instead of repealing it, they need to overhaul it somehow. I'm not sure that can be done.

House priorities that appeared destined to fail. One priority was for Congress to repeal section 230
QUESTION: Just what is Section 230?
ANSWER: If a news site falsely calls you a swindler, you can sue the publisher for libel. But if someone posts that on Facebook, you can’t sue the company — just the person who posted it.
Of course there's more to it but repealing section 230 would also have an impact on Ex-jw websites. Any "Libel' against the Watchtower Organization on any exjw website would allow the Watchtower to sue the person who posted the libel and possibly the owner of the website.
This would be a big win for the Watchtower as it could now go legally after all apostates who post negatively against the WT Organization. On top of this, many web news sites would be shut down.
This is a tactic to control social media which manipulated the elections this year.
the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.
the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.
conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.
hoser
No one is forced to have a camera and microphone in their living room.
I agree. These days, if a person is still part of WT, after tons of child abuse exposures, and still believes in a God of Justice and his son who is suppose to hate unrighteousness and should protect little children from being raped by people bearing the name of Jehovah and disciples of Jesus Christ, then that's probably where they belong.
To many people raised in WT and age over 60 waking up these days. Even born in children age 12 and up are waking up. Reason being is because these people and children that wake up have a sense of righteousness that conflicts with the "Works" of the Watchtower. Those that continue to stay have chosen to continue with the organization because something is wrong with their morals.
the way he’s talking, i wouldn’t be surprised if he creates a third party .
he’s unhappy with republican leadership.
can you see trump leaving the gop and going rogue?
Here's the video I forgot to post, see time 3:29

Trump was an anomaly. I remember when he first announce that he was running for President, everyone was mocking him. Everybody hated him----and at the same time -------Everybody liked him.
Back in 1980, in an interview, he was asked;
"Do you have the Genes to be a successful politician?"
Trump Replied; "I'm pretty Outspoken, and that's probably not a good thing in terms of being a Politician. But it's a Good thing if you ever get elected, that you can do A REALLY GOOD JOB"
(see video starting at 3:29)
Now looking back 40 years --- Trump hit it on the nail. He accomplished more FOR THE PEOPLE than any other President ever.
The thing that Trump did and every politician hated was that he exposed the leaders of the Country, both Democrats and Republicans, that they are not for or concern for the average citizen. It actually revealed that the Politics in America is no different than the Serfs and Lords of the middle ages.
The Political party in Power, either Democrats or Republicans use their position to dip into the treasury in a form that can't be traced legally and they enrich themselves and their families for centuries to come. It may come in a form of giving billions to other countries and receiving a kickback in the form of speaking engagements or charity giving back to those in power.
Just look at all the Presidents who have become rich AFTER THEIR PRESIDENCY because of speaking engagements, books written, kickbacks, etc.
Trump exposed them, and worked for the betterment of the average citizen, and for this reason they got rid of him. The reason Trump could do this is because he already was a billionaire and couldn't be bribed with monies. Whereas other politicians want to be rich and use the office to do so.
I don't think there will be another like him. For everything to be fixed, they need to change the entire structure of the way the political system works, starting with only allowing ONE YEAR TERM for all officials in Congress, Senate, Judicial, and Presidency. And those put in office should be based on qualifications of the person running for office and based on qualifications of VOTERS.
Any person that votes should be qualified and not an uninformed voter like today's voters. They should be educated on how the political system works. And that would mean no political party but instead each person should be put in office to do a job for one year and then out he/she goes.
This will prevent unqualified, unscrupulous people from manipulating the system and keeping unlimited power while in office..
But this will never happen because humans aren't there yet. And I not sure they will ever get there.

I think Trump is going to walk away from politics, to much of a headache. He is a billionaire that will probably want to use his last few years relaxing and doing things he enjoys. Possibly his son might run for President next term.
That's if the Country doesn't turn into a banana republic in the next four years and we are stuck with the Democrats for the next 50 years.
i think it should simply be there to help us citizens.
and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .
period!!!
Just like here in Canada, Trudeau was funnelling government funds to a "charity" that then paid his family large sums for "speaking engagements" (sometimes, of just 2-3 minutes).
Jordan Peterson agrees

The reason Congress gets away with this is because the majority of voters have no idea how bills are introduced.
Democrats continue to survive in Congress because of “LOW INFORMATION VOTERS”
This is the reason why they are planning to lower the voter age requirement to 16 years old.
For example, some of my employees were mad at Trump because he won’s sign the bill for the extra $600 dollars. After I explained to them what the bill consists off, then they were pissed off. I asked them, “Who did you vote for? They answered; BIDEN. I replied; “This is just a taste of what you can expect the next four years.
They replied; If I had known this, I would have voted for Trump!
Democrats continue to survive in Congress because of “LOW INFORMATION VOTERS”
When people ask; Are you Republican or Democrat? That means they have no idea how the American System works. I personally am not a Republican. I think Republicans are border line cowards. I vote for the platform and how it will affect me personally and my Country. The majority of people that voted for Trump were not Republicans, many were Democrats who didn’t want open borders, Gun Confiscation, our Tax money going to other Countries and pet project of the Democrats.
The majority of
voters didn’t even know what the Democratic platform was.The Republicans knew a couple of years in advance that the Democrats were planning on sabotaging the elections and did nothing to prepare counter attacks. The Democrats that voted for Trump will not vote Republican again.

The Bill is 5000 pages long. Who has time to read 5000 pages
Brief recap and notice the end of the video how they take the bill from one place to another.
i have some friends who have made some pretty good short films.
so good in fact, that it caught me by surprise.
i had no idea that they were so tech savvy.
I have some friends who have made some pretty good short films. So good in fact, that it caught me by surprise. I had no idea that they were so tech savvy. They just started doing this and to their surprise, they found out how cheap it was to make good movies.They are now developing marketing plans and they allowed me to invest in their idea.
They got the idea from this short film on YouTube that has over 5 million positive views
The developer seems to be from Austria. But this is what is said about the 36 minute film.
This Movie was Budgeted at only 15 thousand dollars, and made by 3 people Crew. it was shot with Black Magic Ursa Mini, Canon 5D MK3 and Gopro Cameras, VFX was created in After effects based on online tutorials, and on an imac desktop. no other compositing software used other than AE and Element 3D plug in. there has been heavy use of Physical Models.

It seems that the main budget cost for some of the big block busters are the contract salaries to the movie stars. As an example
"A new report from Forbes breaking down Marvel salaries reveals that Downey Jr. has earned a whopping $75 million from “Endgame” alone."
Imagine what the cost was to pay all the other movie stars.
The truth is that Movies today can be made with as little as $15,000 and marketed for as little as 2-3 dollars for a 45 minute story. Imagine if you had 5 million customers willing to pay 2-3 dollars for a 45 minute film with a budget of 15k. and split the profits between 5 or 6 persons which includes cast and crew. There is no need to buy cars, planes, or actors, because software today allows you to create all these things.
This is the great thing about America Today. If you have an idea and are willing to take the risk, and work hard then go for it. Don't have any money, Don't matter because if the idea is great, you will get investors. And Investors don't have to risk an arm and leg, because a just a little can bring BIG REWARDS.
