Can I send you a btle of champagne to help celebrate, you're such a great cheerleader
[QUOTE=Spidy;2776868]Hey, how wrong you are! It is more than likely quite the opposite. I think, it is the newly minted QAnon/Repubs/MAGA tribe, that have a persistent sense of inadequacy and a debilitating inferiority complex, which compels them to feel a constant need to exert "their power" over others.
And a moral code that often manifests itself, as hate, violence and cruelty, towards others that don't share their MAGA ideology.
On the other hand, as an aside, I'm enjoying the [b]inadequate, incompetent[/b] and [b]dysfunctional[/b] spectacle that is the QAnon/Repub House Caucus. So not all is lost, the QAnon/Repubs can be quite entertaining.
So popcorn, pizza, wine, beer and a buck of chicken at the ready...it is turning out to be, a "blockbuster" show, one we haven't seen in over a hundred years. (...kkkk!) Enjoy the Show![/QUOTE][URL]https://amgreatness.com/2023/01/12/the-winners-and-losers-of-the-speaker-battle/[/URL]
Sorry, you can't say it there if you are not allowed in there
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2779943]Wrong. Look up Marsh v Alabama.
That was a Supreme Court case in which First Amendment rights on private property were enshrined. A person went to a town which was entirely owned by a private company and began handing out flyers. The company sent its security to forcibly remove the individual from this "private forum", and the Supreme Court ruled against them.
Summary from wiki: The state had attempted to analogize the town's rights to the rights of homeowners to regulate the conduct of guests in their home. The Court rejected that contention by noting that ownership "does not always mean absolute dominion". The court pointed out that the more an owner opens his property up to the public in general, the more his rights are circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of [b]those who are invited in.[/b]
Twitter completely open their property up to the public in general. They are the public square to an even greater extent than the company town, because Twitter actively advertises for people to use their forum. As such, the pro-First Amendment, pro-free speech decision clearly applies to Twitter and other social media.
Beyond this, the real question you leftists should be asking is why you feel the need to ban, silence and censor opposing political speech at all?[/QUOTE]"those who are invited in. ".
I'm not going to look up the anti-trespassing laws that probably pertain to that company-owned town. Do I even need to?
Did the SCOTUS also rule that private property owners also had to open their doors to all comers, anyone and everyone who comes a'knockin', no discretion permitted? If so, it's hard to believe your side isn't more livid about that than the sad fact that you aren't welcome to openly incite and organize an America-hating, cop-killing Insurrection on Twitter and Facebook.
The owner of Twitter can say "Buh-Bye" to anyone who doesn't abide by its owner's rules.
Proxy war between Russia and USA?
Highly illuminating presentation on the current events in Ukraine.

This is not a war proxy war between Russia and USA. Instead it is proxy economic war between China and USA. The USA is desperately trying to cling on to its hegemonic rule in the world economic order. Yet is simply follows in the historic footsteps of the UK and its fall from grace.
It discusses the new emerging economic blocks, the new super powers, how new financial institutions and tools will emerge to take over the financial management of the world to replace those that the USA has discredited and devalued by usurping to its own ends.
If you are one of those people that thinks this is anti-USA, un-American, USA-hating you must ask yourself what these things mean. Is it anti-USA to express freedom of speech, to encourage discussion about the real issues that are being obfuscated by a corrupt press system, that are hurting its people (whether you believe it or not), or is it anti-USA to take political actions and economic decisions that bring about the destruction of the status of the USA, that impoverishes the majority of its people, that force the rest of the world to lose trust and turn its back upon the nation? Prof Richard Wolff is a USA great hero and servant.
Efficacy of maskls. At last!
Finally some sense on masks!

I was saying right at the start that all the best evidence was that masks do not work. I got shat on every time I opened my mouth. Fiinally some legitimate support, the official consenus is shifting. Another sign that we live in an unthinking time where our lives are contolled by authoritarian lies.
Everyone needs to wake up and understand that we are being lied to, that our rulers do NOT have our best interests at heart. The evidence is there. You just need to open your eyes. Don't be scared of the truth, be scared of our leaders. Get angry!!!
That isn't what your link supports

Neither of the infectious disease scientists and doctors nor the host of your video come to the conclusion about masks that you have been "saying right at the start".
Far from it.
