And yet, he runs a company well within its rights in our capitalist society to do as they choose. I would've thought you'd be behind such a right. Do you support the christian bakers who didn't want to bake a wedding cake for a homosexual couple?
As far as your gay cakes. When biker cake shops get billion of dollars worth of immunity from our government, we can have that conversation.

I don't see a problem (other than twitter allowing that clown to continue posting anything at all.)

Lies? So you don't think vote by mail opens itself up to fraud?

I know fraud happens. My vote by mail in 2016 was not counted due to someone who used my voter registration info at a polling place.
The misinformation here is that there is some great threat that differs from our current reality.
26% of the people in 20 states already vote by mail as does all of our military personnel abroad.
If this is some ghastly back door to wide spread fraud, then this should be a radically different conversation than the “new fraud-fear” narrative being spread.
Three more states allowing what 20 others already have allowed for multiple elections doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.

Do a little research. In states where it's used, very little fraud has been found and more people voted. Heck, Republicans in states like Florida and Arizona have pushed for mail-in voting for years, until their hero got worried about losing in November. And that's the big fear, isn't it? Your Orange Emperor said it best, the more people who vote the less chance Republicans will win elections.

The big fear is election fraud.
Every single vote should require a SSN associated with it. Easy fix.
I am by no means a fan of censorship. What twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc. decide to do is their right since they are "private" companies. While I don't agree with their censorship choices I am certainly against any government regulation. People have the choice to use or not use those services just like they have the right to choose their news source(s). Look up "The Fairness Doctrine" then get back to me when it comes to demanding regulation of social media.

Precisely; 100% agreed.

If only his response to covid19 was as serious as his contempt for being fact-checked once by Twitter.

I am allowed to be upset about where my tax dollar is going. That is my right as an America.
Even Zuck thinks this is wrong.

I do wonder how much the threat of lawsuit affects their decisions.
Remember what Milton Friedman taught us. Businesses self-regulate away from causing harm when they know that the tort system is open and accessible.
So, is this a case, where regulations are absent, and Milton Freidman is being proved correct?

Especially when he said he'd be...checks notes...too busy to golf, especially as much as Obama did
Jesus, the tired golf thing?
Just remember. Donald Trump is president because of Barack Obama. That is an indisputable fact that keeps you up at night.
