What these blubbering idiots don't see is how this plays against them the other way.

 

Can you imagine what a Democrat could do in office if given this power that would make them absolutely go ballistic?

 

Fox News - Gone

Breitbart - Gone

Infowars - Gone

Rush - Gone

.....etc.

THEN...they would be crying TYRANNY!!!!!

Private companies are "shutting down" Infowars as we speak, and presumably the same "republicans" are losing their minds about it.

 

edit: I know that this isn't the same as limiting the 1st Amendment.  Please don't mistake me for sympathizing with Alex Jones.  PLEASE!!!

private companies are dropping infowars because they don't want to be associated with alex jones....but alex jones is still free to go to times square and shout his conspiracy theories to the rafters if he wants.

I view that as different. InfoWars repeatedly broke Terms of Service of all those different platforms (Facebook, iTunes, Spotify, etc.) by spouting insane conspiracy theories about children killed during a shooting and pizza shop pedophilia. 

There's an enormous gulf between that and the Fourth Estate publishing stories the president would rather not have run.

They aren't shutting down anything.  They are removing it's access to their platforms for TOS violations.  Infowars is free to go on.  It's followers are free to keep buying masculinity enhancing supplements from the pinnacle of male health himself, Alex Jones.  They'll just have to do it on their own website.

Look at this utterly pathetic husk of a man...

Everyone, I'm well aware Youtube dropping Infowars is very different than limiting the 1st Amendment.  And, still, some conservatives are very upset about it.

 

That was my point.

Why would we talk to Russia at all about terrorism? They’re culpable in Assad’s chemical attacks on civilians and they murder their own people.

Meanwhile - speaking of terrorism - Virginia Repubs nominate an alt-right supporter as their Senate candidate.

Quote

 

When Corey Stewart beat Nick Freitas in Virginia’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, he got a congratulatory tweet from President Trump, who said, “Don’t underestimate Corey, a major chance of winning!”

Among the people who retweeted Trump’s accolades: Jason Kessler, a self-described “pro-white” activist who organized last year’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, during which a young woman was murdered by an alt-right rallygoer — and a friend and associate of Stewart’s.

Stewart’s victory in Virginia may throw the GOP’s chances in House races further down the ballot under the bus. Cook Political Report editor Dave Wasserman tweeted that because of Stewart’s win, the GOP is unlikely to hold seats in four Virginia districts. (Reportedly, the National Republican Senatorial Committee may not endorse Stewart.)
