    Yes, you do have control. Every time you vote you have control.

    Unsure what the rest of your rant is supposed to mean. I pointed out the Republicans whining about it are likely directly responsible for it coming into existence, and should learn a lesson from it to stop signing stupid things into law. Then you got all butthurt because I dared to call them out.

      I don't live there either, but I'm subscribed to his email newsletter. It's a good way to learn about Senate shenanigans that don't get mentioned in the media.

        No, we have little to no control because it's bipartisan. Even if conservatives rallied against the policy nationwide and voted in Reps against the bill, you have to deal with Dems in favor of the bill, not to mention a liberal media beholden to the military complex that will shrill about how treasonous it is to oppose the policy. Your point was completely meaningless, and that's assuming you're correct these policies are even associated with this tyranny.

          He's definitely a voice in the wilderness.

              It is wonderful that the Democrats name for this board by calling it "The Disinformation Board" they are saying they plan to spread disinformation. if goign to try and stop such disinformation they should have called it the anti disinformation board.

                The commie witch wants to edit your tweets...

                Biden's "Ministry of Truth" director says she wants "verified people" like her to be able to edit people's tweets so they can "add context to certain tweets"

                  They just keep pushing the envelope, in spite of the opposition (which so far has been nonviolent).

                    I guess the justification is that it's technically not censorship if they are only "adding context", though I think even a conservative application of the law would qualify that as violating the First Amendment.

                    So why can't they content themselves with simply posting a response to any post they deem objectionable? Why the need to edit someone else's post?

                      This seems to be a prime example of them shifting the Overton Window. They shift from extreme A to extreme B so we focus on B (what they can and can't do), instead them not existing at all.

                        1st, out the gate. Her idea is horrible, full stop.

                        Now, for the Devils Advocate.

                        There's no date on WHEN this zoom call was actually held, nor is there any context surrounding the video. This means that we have no idea if this idea comes from her personal opinion before she was pegged. Also, there is no indication in this video that this idea in any way involves the Ministry of Truth or its role.

                          But it was her idea. That's enough. When she said it or not seems pretty irrelevant, especially considering we have other numerous evidence from her in the past showing she's not only a partisan leftist hack but not at all an advocate of free speech.

                                This from the clown who kept insisting that the Collusion delusion was real and not a blatant hoax, and proclaimed Hunter's lap top was Russian disinformation.
