Did Big Tech Steal the Election — for Dems and Itself?
through its suppression of perhaps more than two billion conservative pages, Facebook alone might have “stolen” the 2018 midterm election for Democrats — and itself.

I think "adult rights" should be awarded only after someone has served honorably in the armed forces. Service has an tendency to change one's point of view. But the government shouldn't be allowed to rush willy-nilly into any old conflict.
Do "adult rights" include the obligation to pay taxes, or are you arguing in favor of taxation without representation?

I'm thankful we live in a country that values personal liberty in such a way that this doesn't happen.

If this is proven, it would be a strong basis for claims the government to regulate social media. Sometimes, people and companies bring negative consequences upon themselves due to their actions.

As someone who escaped political persecution in California, and lived their for 37 years, I can attest to the truth contained within this this video and would like to share it with you all to warn my fellow Texans of what is to come if and when the left takes over our state. We must not allow them to turn Texas into another California, there is no where else to go once Texas falls and it seems likely civil war will be inevitable if and when it does.

I'm not sure either will be a major party candidate in 2020.

I'm certain watching his television commercials will make me throw up in my mouth a lot.

I say Elizabeth Warren and Beto need to run. They can run as Beto and Beth. A fake Hispanic and fake Indian.

Go ahead and enjoy the show if that's your thing but this will have less political impact on the donkeys than the Trump-Cruz primaries feud had on the elephants. Unfortunately, no matter how shrill the public bickering becomes, the neocommunist party will vote together on their core issues of more government and less freedom.
