Americans are tired of faceless censors and algorithms preventing them from speaking freely…

GOP, how about a fed law that requires major social media companies like Facebook to … 1/
Before censoring, have a senior - really senior) Facebook officer personally (in ink) sign a written, specific, declaration that he/she/xe 1) personally reviewed the material proposed to be censored and determined it violates the TOS, and describe precisely how; and… 2/
And 2) declare the officer personally spoke (by phone) to the individual to resolve the issue before censoring.

Enforce it with lawsuits - per se damages, civil penalties, punitive, attorneys fees. Fed jurisdiction, of course. Yet states could try it too. @Eric_Schmitt

“But” Facebook will protest, “we censor too materialmuch to do that!”

Yes, yes you do.

So, does this vaxx fascism win Biden anything politically?

I think it’s yet another bonehead maneuver by the most politically tone-deaf administration since Hoover. 1/
Everybody who is turgid over vaccines has already got them. The vast majority of people who haven’t got vaxxed have a reason, and they’re going to resent being told they have to get one or starve. 2/
Biden will get the support of some portion of people who took the vaccine, mostly lib women, but he had that already. Who is this going to win over to him? What’s the name of the person who says “Yeah, I thought he was a dork before, but now I’m all in?” 3/

Beware of stupid people and people pretending to be stupid for effect...

Right now, Biden is more concerned with salvaging his popularity than with the disaster his incompetence unleashed. And his narrative janitors are doing their best to mop up the blood he's spilled...

If you think "But Trump invited the bad guys to negotiate at Camp David" or "Trump's deal freed a bunch of prisoners" are some sort of gotcha that put this on Trump, you're dumb or you think your followers are... 2/
There are three ways a war ends. Just three. No more, no less. Three.
1 - Win
2 - Negotiate a peace
3- Lose

For too long red state conservatives have offered to live and let live with blue state liberals but the blues are evangelical Marxists who cannot allow us to provide a counter example of freedom. 1/
So, no more. We must, by any means necessary, force them to be like us. No quarter. No compromise. 2/
Ban CRT, Marxism and anti-American misinformation. Nationalize big tech and academia and mandate conservatism as their operational ideology. Ban leftist media and entertainment from spreading misinformation.3/

Fun, true story...

We were in Japan for Yama Sakura in Kumamoto in 2002, I think, and after ENDEX we all hopped a bus to visit Nagasaki... 1/
The city was rebuilt, of course. Nothing glowed. We walked Ground Zero - the blast radius was smaller than you probably expect - and ended up at the Nagasaki A-Bomb Museum... 2/
Inside there were a lot of exhibits but not much context. You might get the impression that the peaceful Japanese were straight up chillin' when, for some unknown reason, the USA popped a hot rock on them... 3/

Hey, thanks Kavanaugh and Roberts for showing us why the Federalist Society/institutionalist model is totally bankrupt. Those 2 knew what the Constitution required and refused to do it to "protect the institution." Great job, guys. 1/
See, we were told that we cons should avoid judicial activists and nominate people who would faithfully apply the Constitution as written. But when it got hard, the Federalists Bros didn't do that. They folded to avoid conflict. We were told to suck it up. 2/
"We must preserve the integrity of the institution," they huffed and puffed, oblivious to the fact that by "protecting the institution" at the cost of not doing what we all know the Constitution requires, they taught us the Constitution doesn't matter. 3/

Here is Tom’s play so you nonlawyers understand it. He attempts to establish a basic principle, that vaccines in some circumstance can be made mandatory. But he doesn’t go through with the next part of the analysis, which are the facts specific to this particular situation. 1/
In fact, in the very rare instances when rights are implicated, the key is the analysis of the specific cracks. In this situation, we have a not very deadly virus, vaccines that aren’t perfect and variety of other factors. 2/
Typically, courts being asked to implicate a fundamental right, like not to have something injected into your body against your will, require the state to prove that its plan is the least restrictive alternative. 3/
