Yea... making it easier to level antitrust claims against large corporations is totally "colluding with big media companies".

And television got Kennedy elected. Clinton was bad at campaigning just as Nixon didn't want to wear makeup for TV.

Corporate towns are back in fashion! They can restrict anything because it's "Private".

You mean replace vague terminology?

"Otherwise objectionable" -> "unlawful and promotes terrorism".

All it does is remove that "objectionable" defense companies are using to censor anything they want.

Also, "Good faith" is now defined. "Should encourage platforms to be more transparent and accountable to their users, rather than hide behind blanket Section 230 protections.

Why is any of that bad?

Wait... The republicans that are complaining that social media, largely in Silicon Valley and democrat who have been pushing censorship, de-platforming, and centralization, are the ones who want to turn the internet into Cable TV?

I have read the proposals for reworking 230 and they look good.

>If the Establishment understood what the Internet was they never would have let us have it in the first place.

The democrats and tech companies are the establishment. That's why all the neo-cons from Bush and Obama are against Trump. That's why nearly every legacy media act as the democratic PR arm. That's why tech companies use their positions to frame any and all discussions to be favorable to democrats.

You got it might backwards who the establishment is and who wants to maintain control of the internet.

>if the court is deadlocked 4 to 4 on an issue then they can decide nothing.

Which isn't an issue in all reality. It just means that the lower court opinion is upheld from where the case came from.

Depends on the state. Where I live, for example, each side usually have representatives at a polling station. Poll workers, and poll watchers selected by the major parties is the norm. Independent just means both sides agree on that person which goes to your point of "takes months".

>are not being certified as official poll monitors, which normally takes months

Like I said, there is probably more to it than what Trump is claiming. The point is that both sides are able to have watchers at the poll stations. There is a satellite polling station that register voters, request mail-in ballots, vote, and return mail in ballots. They denied Trumps poll watchers saying everything is above board. Was it? I don't know and I bet you don't either. If a lawsuit is filed and Trump is found to be in the right, will you accept it?

>They don't normally just hang around outside with guns.

Again, your characterization and strawman. There is a big difference between "taking months" to be certified as a poll watcher vs standing armed at the poll station.

>""Poll monitors""" recruited by Trump turning up armed outside polling stations is voter suppression and is bad.

That is your characterization and strawman. Poll monitors include people from both sides of the election as well as independent monitors. From what I understand, he is complaining about his monitors being denied. Denying poll watchers of either side is bad. That is very different than denying bullying and suppression at the polls. Like I said, there is probably more to it than that as Trump likes to embellish but let's not burn strawmen, they have feelings too. From what I understand, his campaign may be filing a lawsuit. Then we will know for certain if any impropriety occurred.

Those statements were made at different times under different contexts. You combining them to make it sound like he said "stand by at the poll stations" is the same embellishment Trump uses. You can do better than that.

Are we both agreeing that an anfro-cuban lead organization is probably not white supremacist?

Poll monitors are bad now? Even before the debate he was mentioning his poll watchers being denied. There is probably more to the story but part of an open election is that both sides can watch with independent monitors to ensure no shenanigans. There is probably more to it than just "go act like Black Panthers at the poll stations".

As far as the proud boys, are they really white supremacists? If so why does an afro-cuban head the organization? They officially deny being white supremacy.

I am hard pressed to understand why any white supremacists group would be lead by an afro-cuban. But then again, Richard Spencer is backing Biden. so.

Drink to celebrate or drink to forget.

Either way everyone is drinking!

Reminds of the Southpark episode, About Last Night. The boys run to a hospital to find it overrun. The doctor asks, were they Obama supporters or McCain supporters. Knowing that the doctor knows the treatment for either attempted suicide or party too hard.

Repeating lies make them true!

And an FBI agent is being charged with falsifying evidence.

Who independently verified the dossier? The FBI? This FBI?

I am not sure if you have been following with current events regarding the FBI investigating Trump or Russia or what have you... You have to do a lot better than Wikipedia sourcing CNN and Adam Schiff. Crossfire Hurricane was an absolute fuck up. Or as the FBI agents said "Trump was Right" and took out professional liability insurance because they knew what they were doing was wrong.

We have FBI and Obama administration knowingly using any false information to target anyone in Trumps campaign or incoming administration. And you believe the Russian spy they used for that targeting? Because innuendos and 'anonymous sources say'?

https://www.washingtonexaminer...

Let me get this straight. You trust a Russian spy, described as a possible threat to national security, talking to a disgraced British agent with a known hatred of Trump who also used word of mouth and hearsay and a conversation with a dude at a bar drinking beer. Steele who was trying to find anyone to buy his bullshit... You believe anything that came from that?

What has been found true in that Russian spy document?
