You know what to do.

But The Federalist has its blinders on. Biden baaaaaaad! Trump gooooood!

By Defending Free Speech Worldwide, Team Trump Reclaims America’s Global Moral High Ground:
Under President Donald Trump, the suppression of natural rights by Western powers will no longer be ignored by the United States.
Yep, J. D. Vance goes to Europe to beat up on our friends. But suppression of freedom will be ignored, in places like Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China. And above all in Ukraine.
This is the essence of libertarianism: Make the good the enemy of the perfect.
But defending freedom where it really counts would take some courage, and they don't have it.
The author of this article, who graduated from college in 2022 with a BA in political "science", ends it touting the execrable Darren Beattie at Marco Rubio's State Department, a Taiwan surrender monkey.
The article is the second in the queue at Real Clear Politics this morning. One goes there looking for some serious editorial judgment and gets this.
Trump/Vance don't have the moral high ground. They are just the cowardly other side of the same old hypocritical American coin.
Thanks to this prick.
I can still remember the many accounts which claimed how outraged they were that they now had to pay to keep their verification blue check marks, but now they all pay.
So, non-paying accounts will soon experience more of being unable to reply because everyone will fall in line, effectively making the platform the little toddler's echo chamber.
Oh yeah, and he wants nothing but happy talk, too.
No, Joe Biden, it's not illegal to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.
But it is irresponsible, just like this.
CBS News Cuts Mic When JD Vance Tries To Explain Mobile App For Asylum Seekers :
SEN. JD VANCE: The rules were you weren't going to fact check, and since you are going to fact-check me, it's important to say what's actually going on. There is an application called the "CBP One" app where you can go as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in and applying for a green card and waiting for ten years, that is the facilitation of illegal immigration by our own leadership. ... The CBP One app has not been on the books since 1990. It is something that Kamala Harris created.
Nothing illustrates better the threat to free speech from Democrats and the media than what CBS did to help Walz by breaking the rules in his favor and cutting the mic:
BRENNAN: Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because the mics are cut. We have so much we want to get to.
One of history's most famous examples of winning enough votes to get the power to hammer speech out of existence:
In Philadelphia on Aug. 6, an enormous crowd of supporters exulted in the announcement of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate for the White House. But at the same time, another much quieter drama unfolded: A reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the second-largest news organization in the most important battleground state, was being denied access to the venue. ...
The Harris-Walz campaign continues to take measures to exclude Post-Gazette reporters and photographers from its events due to an ongoing, and very unusual, labor action at the newspaper. The journalists’ strike is unusual because it has gone on so long — nearly two years, making it the longest ongoing strike in America — but also because it has only ever attracted the support of a small minority of the bargaining unit. ... the more anti-democratic tactics we tolerate in the name of saving democracy, the less democracy there will be left to save.

But Facebook actually censored people anyway, Mark. We're waiting for the apology.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg wrote in a letter to the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee. ...
“I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg said. ...
In August 2021, Facebook said it had removed more than 20 million posts related to Covid-19 for violating its content rules across the main social networking site and Instagram.

Gov. Tim Walz’s original budget proposal for the human rights department included funding for the work: $395,000 in fiscal year 2024 and $250,000 annually after that to report on criminal and non-criminal “discrimination and hate incidents” statewide.

Walz has shown not only a shocking disregard for free speech values but an equally shocking lack of understanding of the First Amendment.
Walz went on MSNBC to support censoring disinformation and declared, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”
Ironically, this false claim, repeated by many Democrats, constitutes one of the most dangerous forms of disinformation. ...
The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the claim of Gov. Walz. For example, in the 2016 Matal v. Tam decision, the court stressed that this precise position “strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.'” ...
In her failed 2020 presidential bid, Harris ran on censorship . . ..
President Biden is the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. ...
Democrats now have arguably the most anti-free speech ticket of a major party in more than two centuries.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) may have been a social studies teacher, but he would have failed Constitutional Law 101, especially the part about the First Amendment.
“There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy,” Walz said on MSNBC in December 2022, which would be news to the Supreme Court, which unanimously held as recently as 2017 that “speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground” is still protected by the First Amendment.
Walz’s impulse to censor speech he does not like is most definitely shared by his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, who pushed for Twitter and Facebook to censor then-President Donald Trump even before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In Iowa, on Oct. 19, 2019, Harris told Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, “This is not a matter of free speech. … This is a matter of holding corporate America and these Big Tech companies responsible and accountable for what they are facilitating.”
Harris’s anti-free speech position was so extreme that even Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) pushed back, saying she wanted to kick Trump only out of the White House, not off social media. But politburo secretariat officer Kamala did not back down. “I’m calling on everyone to join me,” she said.
By 2019, Harris already had a well-established history of using government power to silence voices she does not like.

She's a doxxer.
