Conservative Millie Weaver (no idea who she is, but she gets a blue checkmark on Twitter, so I guess she's at least somewhat famous) makes a prize idiot of herself by not understanding how private companies work.

Here's the URL, since the links posted using html no longer work on Amy's site, for whatever reason.

Prepare your face. Your palm is about to make contact.

You guys remember drugs? Disco soundtrack 'n everything.

I'm questioning the claim that whites will lose "their" country - as if it were only theirs or that they somehow have a greater claim than other races.

Apologies. I totally read that backwards.

how private companies work

Except Facebook isn't a private company. It's owned by shareholders. Oh, and they've made certain promises, that now they're reneging on. Instapundit lays it out.

Note that I say “free speech” and not “First Amendment.” The First Amendment only limits government, but “free speech” is — or at least until very recently was — a broader social value in favor of not shutting people up just because we don’t like their ideas or politics. As for the “private companies can do what they want,” well, that’s not the law, or the custom, and hasn’t been for a long time. It’s especially not true where the companies have, as these companies have, affirmatively represented to users and shareholders that they don’t discriminate based on viewpoints.

Why criticize the officer? The suspect could have had a bomb in that backpack.

Or a dog, or a dog full of bees, and when it opens its mouth it shoots bees at you.

Back the badge!

The plot thickens.

Socialism is apparently unaffordable. Which explains why "true socialism" has never actually been tried.

Oh, sure, here comes another right-wing misrepresentation of the progressive agenda. Dammit, when will these conservative media outlets quit overestimating the price tag on the brilliance of Democratic Socialism? The worst-case scenarios keep getting picked up by outlets like Hot Air, National Review, and Vox.

I think at this point, it's simply a matter of time before Sarah Jeong and the NYTimes part ways. Probably over "creative differences".

What's your over-under in weeks? I'm going to say about 10 weeks.

Maybe it's gonna be one of those Jemelle Hill moments and she'll be working there until her contract expires.

I think her name is Miss Peggy?

Im gonna guess she gets the boot in October before the political push for the midterm elections

The majority of candidates and NYT readers may be liberal, but they are WHITE liberals

And Jeoung is not a partisan racist, she will piss off her white fan base oncce they begin to understand she isnt talking about republicans, but about them

Planting further government hooks into the internet.

A leaked memo circulating among Senate Democrats contains a host of bonkers authoritarian proposals for regulating digital platforms, purportedly as a way to get tough on Russian bots and fake news. To save American trust in "our institutions, democracy, free press, and markets," it suggests, we need unprecedented and undemocratic government intervention into online press and markets, including "comprehensive (GDPR-like) data protection legislation" of the sort enacted in the E.U.

This includes:

• Mandatory location verification
• Mandatory identity verification
• Bot labeling

No word if they want to outlaw VPNs. And I see that Poor Richard will be hardest hit.

Question: why do the Dems want to give The Donald even more authoritarian power?

Scary if true about the New Mexico compound.

Wow, so she tells men of two prior generations of women in her family sperm trapping men for kids and then jettisoning the men from their children's lives and she cant figure out why being seen as disposable in her world view makes them nervous? Is she really that narcissistic?

What a shame. I always like it when a neighborhood shows me its sexy little library patch...for free!

Im curious what donor dad means? Not just to her but objectivly to society at large

Sperm her mother got from:

A) a clinic

B) a man who knew her plan and willing to abandon children

C) a man who had no clue what her plans were and never knew you existed

D) a man who wasn't willing to walk away but forced out by court action

It amazes me she cant figure out why a guy isnt jumping at the prospect to be a ATM for 20 years after she gets her sperm and dumps him

> I'm going to say about 10 weeks

We need a Deadpool. Despite an Ivy education, this woman's career didn't gain traction until she started bitching and threatening people. She'll be testing boundaries essentially ASAP: 10 weeks is an interesting ante. It'll be fun to watch.

> I'm going to say about 10 weeks

I don't think so. She is smart enough to keep her mouth shut for a while and anything she says close to the election will be easily buried in the epic mud slinging that will come out this year.
Was trying to guess when the whole Russia reveal would be for both sides would be. I figure each side is holding one hidden Ace up their sleeves. Reveal too soon and it will be forgotten/spun before the election. With the speed the news cycle has been going Nov 3 rd is my guess.

"Im curious what donor dad means? Not just to her but objectivly to society at large" lujlp

To society I'd say: 85% A and 15%B. But her family is hard core I'd give even odds on all choices including stealing a used condom or sabotaging one.

"No word if they want to outlaw VPNs."

They will almost certainly try (again) to outlaw non-escrowed encryption. After all, if you have nothing to hide, then you don't need it. Right?
