I thought it was funny as well, and true.
I was in New Orleans on Monday and Biden being in town was a major pain in the ass. Part of the french quarter was shutdown for a few hours, including restaurants near Jackson Square. We had to adapt our dinner plans. The parades got pushed back a few hours too, making two of them overlap, which usually doesn't happen.
Locals appreciated the President showing respect,but not on the 1st night of Carnival.
Another $500 million to Ukraine.
Zuckerberg went onto Rogan, and one of the things he said was that the Biden admin would call up the Meta team and scream at them to take down things that were true or jokes. When they didn’t, his companies started getting investigated. Now, I don’t trust Zuckerberg to do anything he says, like the clown fact checkers thing, but boy does the left hate free speech.

After everything the Dems and alphabet agencies have done in the past 10 years, they have shown just how malignant and un-American they are. Everything they accuses Trump of doing they had already done or were currently doing.
I hope to God that they never pull that shit again!

Zuck is perfectly fine with lying, and he's somewhat in damage control trying to restore confidence in the platform.
But this also isn't surprising, or inconsistent with what we've heard from others. What's a little jarring is his claim of being targeted if they didn't cooperate. When you start talking individuals or smaller companies, that's really fucking scary. And if Trump was doing this, the leftwing media meltdown would make Jan. 6 look like a sneeze.
"I can't force you to do this, and I can't regulate what you do...but I can investigate you for other shit if you don't cooperate". The cost and distraction of an investigation makes complying a no-brainer even if you have nothing to hide.
If 90% of the media wasn't in the tank for Dems this couldn't happen. This wouldn't happen with Repubs. Shoot, that same media will blow up over Repubs for far less, without proof.
By the way, if there's any truth to what Zuck is saying it's probably really fucking illegal. And if 90% of his employees weren't on board I'd bet there would have been [even more] major whistleblowing.
I believe Zuckerberg only because of the Twitter Files. Think back to all the times Zuck was subpoena'd to testify to Congress while all that was going on. Also, if you recall, Dems and the alphabet agencies were doing most of that shit to them (Jack Dorsey Twitter), too. As far as I remember, the ONLY Dem who tried to intervene by saying 'hey you shouldn't be doing this' was Ro Khanna.
So if it was happening across the board, as the evidence shows, I believe it.
Let's just say that once all the J6 evidence comes out and it shows that Trump was 100% guilty of inciting an insurrection and trying to overthrow the US. That is some scary shit to think about possibly being true.
But what the Dems were doing has been going on for a decade.
It's not even close to being equal.
Jack Smith has resigned and I'm wondering if that is supposed to stop him from being fired, investigated or both.
Geeblock's favorite Internet influencer is even pointing how how Biden answered this poorly. Times are rough, indeed!

To be fair, even leftist media people who hate Trump but know people in Israel and Gaza who are involved have said "this was basically all Trump, his people even put pressure on Netanyahu to accept" to go along with his threat of "all hell will break loose".

Yeah, I've noticed that too. TYT has been heavily pointing out all along that Biden could have forced a cease fire simply by not funding the war. Sabby Sabs, just last night, gave credit to Trump and pointed out the same thing as TYT. Jimmy Dore propping Trump, and many others.
It reminds me of when I was a kid and the hostage situation between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. I remember my family hoping that Carter could get them freed before Reagan. They were happy when the hostages were freed but disappointed that Reagan was the one who pulled it off. Back then I didn't understand all the intricacies and kinda wondered why it mattered. I get it now because back then the Dem party was vastly different compared to what it is today. Also, my family was staunchly Democrat back in the day and voted for Carter. They really wanted that legacy to be on Carter's record but it didn't work out that way. They ended up respecting Reagan, though, in the end. But I bet dollars to doughnuts that if my grandparents and parents were still alive, they would still regret that Jimmy Carter didn't get that win.

Yeah, apparently it was the same terms that Biden has been offering for months. I don't care who gets credit, as long as hostages are free.
I know hard liners in the Israeli cabinet are not a fan and are delaying the final agreement.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Doesn’t seem like that good of a deal for them. Seems like a lot to give up for a handful of supposedly alive hostages.I know hard liners in the Israeli cabinet are not a fan and are delaying the final agreement.

I mean each day it goes longer, the less likely all the hostages currently alive survive and pressure just increases on Israel to make a deal.

The bad deal assures more hostages will be gathered in the future and suffer the same fate.
Biden and Kamala are pretending that they added a 28th amendment, “The equal rights amendment”. Biden declared it!

I had to look and see if he had the Archivist change their mind and position. But, nope. So, a meaningless statement too late in the game.
I do think the issue needs to go through the courts to determine if the amendment did miss the deadline or not. I think it did, but understand the gray area.
Hold on, I don't remember 2/3rds of both houses voting on this and then 3/4ths of the states ratifying this.
Did I completely miss something VERY important?

In 2020, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify it.
But, the question is that it was way later than the deadline set forth in the original bill. The legal question is that deadline was in the preamble, not the main body, so does it technically apply?
The National Archivist has said based in their view, it was too late and have not advanced it to officially be an amendment.
Biden's statement does nothing to change that.

Not only that but several states have rescinded their approval by this point and the freaking Amendment was first voted on by Congress in 1972?
Sorry, but it’s not the 28th Amendment. It can’t be a 50+ year process. It had a 7 year time limit for approval, not 50+
And I don’t necessarily have anything against the ERA, but saying this is now the 28th is about as dumb as saying “pack the SCOTUS with like 15 judges”.
What's the purpose of Biden and Harris publicly stating such a thing? What would there be to gain from doing so?

Oh I get you, but the 27th amendment wasn't ratified for over 200 years...
Yeah, still a dumb statement. Him declaring it is just funny. Lot of Office memes going around now.

Only thing I can think is maybe someone makes a legal case? But, why wait nearly 4 years and then suddenly declare it now?
