Yes. I should added more content, but her with her hand on hip while limply holding the gun is horrible. Not to QQ in here about guns too much but again, it is how easy we make it to buy a firearm with no proper training. Highly doubt she has never had any training and likely second time she has every held that firearm.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

It's malevolence was already known by its behavior in other countries, but this was the first time it hit a developed nation, much less a superpower.
Sadly, abandoning the platform ain't gonna cut it. FB isn't just FB, and you'd need to mobilize billions of people to collectively drop all their platforms while also doing everything they can and jumping through hoops to stop FB from scraping their data from everywhere.
The best path forward is to keep pressuring advertisers in the hope that hurting the bottom line enough will spark change, but realistically without some form of oversight/regulation it's unlikely much will change.

A helluva lot more than that, and that's just for the public facing services.
Facebook executives pleaded with Trump to tone down his post threatening violence against George Floyd protesters, report says
Links to WaPo and Axios citations.Facebook tried to persuade President Donald Trump to tone down the language in his May post that threatened violence against George Floyd protesters, The Washington Post reported on Sunday.
Sources familiar with the matter told The Post that Facebook executives called the White House to try to get the president to either tone down the aggressive language in the post — which said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" — or delete it entirely. The Post did not identify the executives but described them as "deputies."
Sources also told The Post that CEO Mark Zuckerberg subsequently told Trump in a phone call that the post put Facebook in a difficult position. Axios reported on May 31 that Zuckerberg had called Trump, but it did not include details of the call.
Facebook is now facing allegations that they specifically wrote rules to allow Trump to use hate speech, encourage violence, and be blatantly racist and sexist in public without side effects like every other Terms of Service ignorer. Supposedly this goes back to when he started running. And this is costing them billions.
Facebook is hiding behind
Coca-Cola alone has cost Facebook over twice what Forbes says Trump is worth. At some point, they'll have to decide if being bent over and Zucked is worth it.While many Republicans think we should do one thing and many Democrats want us to the do just the opposite, our job is to create one common set of rules that applies equally to everyone. We don't believe Twitter, YouTube, Facebook or any technology company should determine what words people should or shouldn't see from their elected leaders in a democracy,
Hey, remember when courts decided that companies were people? Do you think this form of voting with money is what they thought would happen?
That might be the scenario they are trying to parse out. Trump can resign in the face of worsening/horrific polls saying "fake news" and "rigged election", and not have to face a potential landslide loss. He can then retain his base, get pardoned by Pence, launch his news channel, and continue to stay in the limelight (as he sees it).
So I found that out by reading this tweet: https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/st...50851063115776 and immediately went to reddit to actually read their post on it rather than scroll past, and as I was reading it, it suddenly sank in that Rick Wilson said, "Kek."
I demand an explanation.
ETA: Just realized that if I don't add that I mean an explanation about how he learned the word, someone will explain what kek means....
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
The GOP in congress had already threatened them.

Indeed - and her Democratic contender looks like a real winner. Young[er], female, and she's pacing Collins right now in the polls. RealClear has it a statistical tie and fivethirtyeight really hasn't updated in awhile.
I hope Bloomberg slips Gideon $50M for her campaign.
Leave it to you to give the most level-headed, completely reasonable reply. Totally took the fun out of it, Edge!
The Lincoln Project has definitely tweeted out some pretty great memes, but I have cringed a few times--did you see the distracted boyfriend one, with the boyfriend as "swing states," the girlfriend as Trump, and the other woman as Biden? And they also did one tagging a bunch of Republican senators, referencing Trump's bounty treason, and then said, "You up?" Which....jonahhilldesist.gif.

Have donated to her myself! A few zeroes shy of your Bloomberg suggestion, I admit.

I have the same problem with both. Their pronunciation is not markedly different then the base word. They really only exist in written form. It just doesn't seem catchy enough. After all, the other 42 Presidents were not treasonous, so the word "Treason" seems redundant with the "45". Only one of them really counts as a Traitor, as John Tyler fits the very literal definition. So 44 Presidents, and only 2 of them were traitors.
Still "TRE45ON" is funny to get Trump all bothered for a while.
