***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[Belgium]

House Republicans are also investigating Twitter over alleged "censorship of conservative voices" and told the Twitter CEO that he had to pick a date to testify or get subpoenaed.

Justice Dept. says probing social media companies for stifling 'free exchange of ideas'
In the statement, spokesman Devin O’Malley said that the department had monitored a hearing of a Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, where Facebook Inc (FB.O) and Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) executives defended their companies before skeptical lawmakers. Many members of Congress fault social media platforms for failing to combat foreign efforts to influence U.S. politics.

“The attorney general has convened a meeting with a number of state attorneys general this month to discuss a growing concern that these companies may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platforms,” O’Malley said in a statement.

The companies have been criticized for what others see as an effort to exclude conservative voices.

They're private companies. They don't have to let anyone use their platforms. They could delete every user tomorrow and there ain't **** the government can do about it. This is nonsense to appeal to their racist *** base to save them in November. **** the GOP.

When did Boss Hogg roast Marco? I know he got Cruz with the billboard.

I thought the clip was funny, kind of respected Marco for the first time because you could tell he was peeved and really wanted to put hands on dude

EDIT: It must take a ton of composure and concentration to continue talking eloquently without break while that’s going on in the background

So he’s chasing dudes in the streets but gets upset when Rubio says that he would take care of him himself?

Alex Jones wanted none of the smoke.

Deep State!!!

Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.

“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.

It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.

As if Woodward needed any confirmation on any part of his work

Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.

Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more.

But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective

A lot of stories coming out recently that confirm what we already knew -- the president is an idiot.

If only there were ways to have seen this before the election.

 

[dacomeup]

These cabinet members that claim to care about the country while working for a man that they describe as amoral and dangerous to the country are sickening.

I don't know Jim Mattis well enough to know, if he's playing 3.14159265 D chess, but I haven't forgot, how hesitantly he accepted this great honor in the first place. Obviously his latest statement is a total lie, composed to avoid giving his resignation to the "fifth- or sixth-grader" in Chief. If you want to reluctantly keep your job, you will have to adamantly insist to your boss, that you didn't call him an undeveloped teenage brain. I hope, Jim Mattis is debasing himself to protect the Constitution of the United States from all kinds of stupid shortsightedness foreign and domestic and that he will tell any lie to appease the ****head in the White House, if that allows him to protect this country and her armed forces.



What's your intuition say about Mattis, is he in bed with president ****nuts or just going through the motions like Stormy Daniels?

Seems Kavanaugh will be easily confirmed.
