At this point I see no reason to grant even the tiniest sliver of benefit of the doubt, any democrat or republican pushing to repeal 230 while this regime is in power should be treated as though giving Trump and company full censorship power is the goal, not just acceptable collateral damage on the path to achieving it.
If you think your kid becoming autistic is bad (it’s not and they won’t), having your kid crippled by polio is so, so very much worse.
That's probably the most infuriating(ly stupid) part of the whole 'movement' in that even if you granted for the sake of their homicidal argument that vaccinations had a whopping 50% chance of causing autism you can live a long, healthy and happy life while autistic but the same cannot be said for a number of diseases that vaccinations prevent or heavily reduce the impact of.
Ah but don't you see, what's a few thousand/tends of thousands/hundreds of thousands of children crippled for life(assuming they don't die horribly) if it means standing up to Big Pharma and the super-spooky needles?
That's a price the pro-plague movement is prepared to have others pay if the alternative is admitting that they either are frauds and liars making a living off of pushing anti-science or have been duped by the previous group and far from protecting their children have been working overtime to maim and/or kill those same kids by refusing to give them proper medical care.
US law presently forbids the two issues in contention. So why were they even a topic of contract negotiations?
Because the company wanted it to be in writing that their tech would not be used that way so that when(not if) the regime used it that way anyway the company could point to those conditions and claim that they had nothing to do with what happened and really had no way of knowing that their tech would or even could be used like that.
Bloody hell talk about shooting themselves in the foot, even when they're giving good advice('data siloing isn't a good idea') they still manage to do so in a way that guarantees that even if the current regime were worthy of trust it would still be foolish to take them up on their argument by framing it in the form of '... because it makes it harder for US AI companies to scrape every bit of data in your country to train off of'.
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to protest injustices, the rule of law, constitutional rights... The regime that positively hates everything that makes the country 'great' telling people to focus on those same things in their coverage would be tailor made for some malicious compliance if the companies involved weren't grovelling at the regime's feet for scraps if not firmly on the regime's side.
Patriotism means, among other things, standing up for your country when it's doing the right things and standing up to your country when it's not, so of all the things the regime wants to celebrate it certainly doesn't want any actual patriotic content.
While it's nice that the judge flat out told the DOJ to return the devices and not to search through them I hope they're not so naive to think that the DOJ didn't immediately create a copy of everything they grabbed and will still be trawling through everything they still have, legal ruling be damned.
As for the journalist while the 'just start from scratch' line from the DOJ may have been a bit of mocking cruelty if the alternative is to use the devices the DOJ stole it might actually be the best advice, because in their shoes I sure as hell wouldn't trust that anything they had their hands on for more than five minutes wasn't compromised.
Good on the judge for publicly admitting that they were used like this but if they want it not to happen again they need to start handing out some actual penalties as opposed to mild language about how the trust they have towards the government has been 'disturbed'.
There is only so many times a person can be told 'If you 'succeed' here the only people it will help is child predators' before it becomes impossible to believe that 'helping child predators' is a bug rather than a feature of their actions, so either he didn't talk to a single competent lawyer or he did, they told him the horrific outcome if he 'wins' this, and he chose to do it anyway due to either wanting those posting CSAM to escape prosecution or, (giving him the benefit of the doubt he doesn't deserve) because he considers that an acceptable price in his crusade to 'protect the children'.
Balderdash, the openly armed and known-to-be-violent thugs hanging out around the voting places will be there to protect voters, who could possibly think that they might pay extra attention to anyone that doesn't walk in wearing a MAGAt dunce cap?
It was never about protecting free speech or fighting government censorship, it was always and only about ensuring that the only ones allowed to speak were republicans and now MAGAts.
It was never about protecting the free market or marketplace of ideas, it was always and only about ensuring that the only businesses and ideas allowed were republican and now MAGAt-friendly if not owned.
It was never about protecting religious freedoms...
It was never about stopping fraud...
It was never about upholding the law...
It was never about anything but a lust for power and ensuring that the US would have two very clear categories of people, MAGAts and The Other, one with legal protections and rights and the other with legal obligations and privileges.
Look it's simple:
Premise 1: Trump is the most beloved person in the history of not just the USA but humanity as a whole.
Premise 2: Due to premise 1 no-one would ever vote against him or his party come election day.
Conclusion: Any votes that aren't for a republican candidate can only be the result of corruption and fraud and therefore can and should be struck from the voting results, leaving only the legal and valid votes that coincidentally are all for the republican candidates.
I mean, since these fuckers want to claim Jesus Christ as their role model and all…
Which is all sorts of 'funny' considering they'd be the first to nail his brown-skinned ass up to the nearest cross or deported to a foreign torture camp as a 'heretical woke immigrant' the second he so much as mentioned empathy or compassion.
What’s standing between us and further destruction of the stuff that makes America great is a court system that doesn’t actually seem to know what to do when it has to deal with an entire administration that refuses to play by the rules that have held this nation together for more than two centuries.
Yes indeed, never before has so much as a single person ever violated the law, ignored a court order and/or lied to a judge, so how in the world would the various US judges know what to do when someone does one or more of those things?
The judges know what to do they just refuse to do it, content with doing nothing more than whining about how the regime shows open contempt towards them, the legal system and the laws it it based upon.
And it will continue to do so because courts can’t actually physically free people or force the government to respect their rights.
Not can't, won't. I'll believe that courts are actually trying to stop the regime's latest illegal action(s) when they stop whining about the regime openly violating laws and court orders and instead issue contempt of court and/or perjury charges.
Until that happens their complaints are nothing more than empty bluster and both they and the regime knows it, which is why it's so confident in ignoring both the courts and laws.
When it comes to people lying about vaccinations(either their own or their kids) I would be totally on board with a law treating that as attempted assault if not attempted murder depending on the illness in question and it's history of fatalities.
While a pleasant thought 'Sure my kid isn't vaccinated but prove that they were the ones who infected others since it's not like the infected only interacted with my kid' strikes me as a bar that would be tough to reach.
Easier to just issue a 'If your kid isn't vaccinated then they're not allowed in school' rule.
I have to wonder what the venn diagram of 'Terrible parents who refuse to vaccinate their children because that's their choice as the parent' and 'Parents with children who have food allergies and insist that the school change it's cafeteria menu in response' look like...
“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.” —Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, September 8, 2025
Tell me you were born into privilege and never faced a serious consequence for your actions without telling me you were born into privilege and never faced a serious consequence for your actions.
Kavanaugh gave the go-ahead for racial profiling and arrest and that should never be allowed to fade from his forever-tainted reputation. At best his privileges blinded him to what it's like for those less 'blessed', and being less generous he knew he was lying through his teeth and said it anyway because who cares about a few harassed/arrested brown people?
You have the right to be pro-plague and/or try to get your kids maimed/killed by refusing to get them vaccinated, what you don't have is the right to put the lives of everyone else around you at risk because of it.
If you hand your mortal enemy a gun you WANTED to be shot
At this point I see no reason to grant even the tiniest sliver of benefit of the doubt, any democrat or republican pushing to repeal 230 while this regime is in power should be treated as though giving Trump and company full censorship power is the goal, not just acceptable collateral damage on the path to achieving it.

A good core surrounded by a toxic covering
Bloody hell talk about shooting themselves in the foot, even when they're giving good advice('data siloing isn't a good idea') they still manage to do so in a way that guarantees that even if the current regime were worthy of trust it would still be foolish to take them up on their argument by framing it in the form of '... because it makes it harder for US AI companies to scrape every bit of data in your country to train off of'.
Every accusation a confession, every self-given label a rejection of.

Can't imagine why a republican would want to help that particular group...
There is only so many times a person can be told 'If you 'succeed' here the only people it will help is child predators' before it becomes impossible to believe that 'helping child predators' is a bug rather than a feature of their actions, so either he didn't talk to a single competent lawyer or he did, they told him the horrific outcome if he 'wins' this, and he chose to do it anyway due to either wanting those posting CSAM to escape prosecution or, (giving him the benefit of the doubt he doesn't deserve) because he considers that an acceptable price in his crusade to 'protect the children'.
'Attempted voting while not white, that's a felony for sure...'
Balderdash, the openly armed and known-to-be-violent thugs hanging out around the voting places will be there to protect voters, who could possibly think that they might pay extra attention to anyone that doesn't walk in wearing a MAGAt dunce cap?

You can be one OR the other, not both
It's not possible to be MAGAt and have 'Being associated with a known sex trafficker' be a deal-breaker at this point.
The first time in US history
