So #facebook has continued the suspension of trump for 6 months and the right is angry about that. They say "it violates free speech" and yet here they are doing their very best to STIFLE free speech in the form of Constitutionally allowed peaceful protests. Listen @GOP you can't
have it both ways. One way for your beliefs and no way for any dissenting beliefs. We have a Constitutional RIGHT to peaceful protests, but private companies like #facebook have policies and rules that are applied. Facebook needs to completely review it's policies and I feel that
facts matter here and lies from anyone, should not be tolerated. Violence and agitation should not be tolerated. Perhaps big monetary fines for every provable lie should be implemented, and a tolerance policy should be implemented. #facebook is rich enough to have fact checkers
reviewing posts, especially from famous or infamous people, and having a strict criteria for allowing publication. I can live with that. I can't live with having my Constitutional rights violated by Republicans who have decided to act like kings, and not like elected leaders
for the people. They have forgotten that both and all political parties are part of WE THE PEOPLE. They don't get to cherry pick who does and who does not deserve what. Our Constitution does that, and is also subject to review and revision, amendments. It is very clear though
about certain rights, and we must refuse to let the Constitution be abused as it is being now. It's not a free for all, for example, to allow us the "right to bear arms". We must have common sense rules that define what "arms" are allowed and what are not. I don't like the cannon
my neighbor fires from his yard. It's not the same to me as a gun. There is going to be a lot of work to be done to refine some areas of the Constitution, and that is NORMAL.

McConnell: No Senate Republicans will back Biden on $4T a.msn.com/01/en-us/BB1gj…
@SenatorMcConnell how much money have you taken from "the pot" over the years? Our tax dollars? Your state NEVER gives back to the nation, but you are right there holding out your hand for your state. Seems a tad hypocritical to me. And when this passes, and it will, you will
once again hold out your hand and take and then brag about what you brought home to the state of Kentucky. So please, stop YOUR big lies and for once, for once, support the best plan ever offered by this government to take us into the next century where other countries have

The "right" is freaking out, and I mean freaking out. Let's talk about the politicians and sycophants that accompany them and leave the regular folks out of this conversation. The reason, I believe, that the mucky mucks are so desperate is because the noose is tightening around
the former President's neck. It has already tightened around Giuliani's neck, as evidenced by the raid carried out to collect his electronics. Let's talk about political "trickle down" the way I see it. Unless Trump is reinstated (and he won't be) then all those politicians and
their buddies have their necks on the line for things they did when they were confident Trump would be re-elected. A lot of dirty shady deals that they KNEW Trump would ignore, nay, even encourage. So now, they are realizing that they cannot hide behind the dark shade of Trump.

@POTUS Sir, I think it's time we take advantage of all our electronic surveillance capability and actually have more cameras in our nation. I also think we need to rely on those and not on police officers to gather traffic violations. I think police officers should be
limited to responding to violent crimes only. No more killing people over traffic violations. Our nation is awash in blood due to trigger happy officers who appear to be on power trips eager to pounce on anyone for anything. It's time we narrow the field of responses and rework
the police force entirely. Millions and millions of dollars are paid to grieving families which does not bring back their loved ones and actually punishes the people who have to pay taxes for the police in the first place. This is insane. Let's use those millions to open new
