Conservatives believe in regulations, just as light touch as possible and as few as we can get by with, so as not to impose an undue burden on the people.

Your party supports more regulations no matter what, even if they are bad regulations, which they frequently are. That is bad for our country, and no honest person will even try to disagree.

I am on FaceBook, but my circle of "friends" is very limited, so no influence there, either.
In fact, the main thing that influenced my vote(s) was an intense dislike for the clintons. ALL of them! The second thing that influenced my vote(s) was an intense dislike for the entire democrat party.
The third thing was a desire to avoid voting for any incumbent.

Not when the post accurately encapsulates the narrative you have been spewing, it couldn't.

There will be thousands of Mexican Nationals, journalists and politicians to be indicted and prosecuted.
You are confusing the logistical feasibility of hauling the defendant into Court with the legality of indicting them for a crime codified in statute. Like I said, a box of Apple Jacks.

I agree.


Twitter has been identified as one of the main targets (unwitting) of a sophisticated and illegal propaganda operation, run by a St. Petersburg troll farm, that is Kremlin linked. It is certainly understandable that it would take steps to distance itself from this. By weeding out more than 50,000 accounts that it identified as being linked to Russia and its operatives, and notifying nearly 700,000 users who interacted with these accounts, Twitter is attempting to make its service "safer and healthier for all".


A company attempting to remove malicious and fake accounts from its service is a bad thing? Trying to distance itself from becoming a platform for false, misleading and hateful information is unacceptable? Trying to tamp down abusive and hate speech is negative?


I say thanks to this company for being civic minded, finally!

Or maybe they just followed it because it supported their preconceived notions. Vanity will get you in trouble like that.

Same two posters making the same intentionally obtuse argument, the obvious fallacy of which has been explained to them multiple times. Its as if they cannot comprehend how to frame a fact pattern or digest an explanation about what the Russians actually did.

Since you aren't answering, are we to assume that silence implies consent?

It’s not an obtuse observation



Libs here are flat out saying Russian bots stole the election from Hillary

Given the adversary they are not going to fix this without causing major problems for the regular person.
