And been castigated for pointing it out.
It's unlikely that anything like that will happen. Recall that the companies that are protected by 230 have a lot of money -- and want to hold onto it. I suspect that 230 is quite safe. Note that the legislature handed The Donald a whopping big rebuke by way of their override of His veto of the Defence bill.

I'll hang around then cafe and share my skirting stories (until they abolish 230 and Carl has to shut the site down over all of the soon to be illegal anti-Trump rhetoric), but this will be my final political post, because they no longer serve any purpose.
I have a slightly more nuanced way of putting that: "I did not forsake my country, my country forsook me."I rescind any allegiance I was brainwashed into pledging as a child. This God forsaken nation will NOT have my loyalty or my soul.
Yes it was [lower than low]. And now the POT can blame the Democrats for killing it... round and round we go...
No, this has been going on since before The Donald was even a 4th-rate TV presenter.
I'd say there is a better than 50-50 chance that the number of folks in government who support such undemocratic behavior will significantly decrease because of the way they exposed themselves this year. But that might just be wishful thinking.moonshadow wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 4:12 pm Well, I've probably voted in my last election anyway.
Why?
Because I've learned (thanks to Trump) that our votes are not "rights", they only count because the various people in power allow them to count. We have learned that, constitutionally there are several steps that can legally thwart the will of the people at the ballot box.
We've learned that big money interest gets candidates on the ballot... but that's the easy part.
We've learned that should state legislatures decide to disregard the popular vote of their population and cast their electors for a different candidate, they have every right to do so.
We've learned that even if the electoral college does certify the winner in December, congress can override the results in January if they so desire. It appears as though if the House was controlled by Republicans, they'd surely override the electoral college and Trump would be the president for the next four years.
Hypothetically, if the GOP wins back the house in two years, it sounds like they could theoretically vote Trump back in the White House in '24 without him even being on the ballot! (I could be wrong about this, just my current understanding of a quickly evolving situation...)
...
But what else can he do...? His cabinet has to be confirmed by the POT Senate, and we should already know Moscow Mitch is going to do everything he can to obstruct any progress Biden and his administration tries to achieve...
Nor am I, which is why I have set my clock for 5AM for the last time to attend this circus. Let them have it, I have all but renounced my citizenship at this point (yes I have actually researched this...) I decided against it as I'm still a tax payer (not by choice), and I want to get my moneys worth for the thousands of dollars stolen from me every year.
It likely is.
Yes Brad, I knew that, but I never figured any politician or party would try to break tradition after the election!
