my latest bust from the social media ministry of truth

Or, as my lifelong hero with Frank Zappa would put it: "My favorite confrontation with authority"

I posted this on my FB wall and got a 30 day suspension. Question; who are the judges that determine why this violated community standards? My sole measure is whether this statement is accurate and it's 100% accurate. I demand to confront my accusers!

(Not really, but I wish I could send my potential posts to the FB Ministry of Truth to check if my post would get me busted again. Self censorship and it's time to watch what I post on FB. (Thanks to Ari Fleischer circa 2003-2004.)




When a right-winger says, "Tucker Carlson has a huge audience," I reply, "So did Joseph Goebbels."





Which leads me to wonder if FB can bust me for DU comments about FB? Which seems plausible because FB, google and youtube seem to be run by the same entity? Kinda like anti-trust laws have gone the way of progressive taxation?

TFG recently recommending EVERY ONE should get covid vax AND booster



One would think that after this recent TFG pronouncement, that he would loose supporters by the millions when he defies his own anti-vax rhetoric he catapulted for years after the pandemic first arrived?

Perhaps something like "cognitive dissonance" blocked this recent message from entering the brains of his MAGA supporters and also every single member of the republic party?

his comments are about 0:50 in.

ethics or decency

not where the big money is these days. mis/dis info is lavishly rewarded by the morbidly wealthy, so as to get more for them via less for you. most of our so called capitalists are actual striving to own monopolies. immune to the forces of the free market and competition. overly powerful corporations are vile and pernicious. and un-American. bust the trusts! or at least tax them at the same rate as the middle class.

Greed is loathsome and predatory and must be banished from a fair and just society.

Dipshit McSonInLaw

LOVE IT!

I have a visceral revulsion to this entitled second generation criminal.

to suggest something truly creepy; perhaps he stays in poopie-pants good graces by letting him have sex with his wife. To continue a physical relationship that probably started when she was 13.

(In Quagmire voice) Aren't I just the worst!

trump biographer David Kaye Johnston Chris Hayes 5-25-21

One of his books was; "The best way to rob a bank is to own it." He's got decades of research on djt's murky financial dealings.

this is another worthwhile FZ quote:

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

that term triggers me.

Because it was designed to be used as a pejorative towards the Democratic party.

My feelings were confirmed some time after the early 2000's Iraq invasion, by the great Keith Olbermann, in response to GWB using it. "....and it's DEM-O-CRA-TIC Party. Show some respect!":

So, for a while I used the term "republic party" every time IO have to refer to these grifters on internet social media.

It a efect in my moral character that I let myself "go low", but, geez, these people are " winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" so completely that they must be countered.

Cheating and bullying and lying is not what a major political party should stand for.

And this is just a start. I'll be fighting against American totalitarian fascsit police states until I die, or global warming ends our way of life as we know it and takes me with it.

The other side is taking Obamagate quite seriously

They contend that the obama admin and the fbi planted phony evidence of russian collusion in 2016 and that flynn is a patriot unjustly framed by the obama people WITH NO RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW.

In other words, the previous admin conducted themselves in a way similar to what barr is currently doing.

They seem to be making up their own new and improved facts.

I'm truly confused and now I have to revisit and review events of late 2016 and fact check what is rampaging like an out of control pandemic in conservative media.

got my first time out at FB

In a private members only group i listed what i'd like to see happen to the trump clan when they loose and are called to account for their treasons. I warned at the onset the post was disturbing and read at your own risk.

I then listed about five or six unspeakably horrible medieval torture methods. Also suggested Ivanka should be thrown into a live volcano to help ward off the evil spirits this clan has poisoned our country with.

I channel hunter thompson when i really want to hyperbolically drive home my point. Like a frank zappa icepick to the forehead.
I’ve got to step up my self censorship. Can’t be a soldier in our social media civil war if you’re silenced by dah man!

The next President sure as hell SHOULD NOT "look forward, not backward".

About 90-percent

Gee - my profile info didn't migrate from the old DU I guess? The main thing - 90% refers to the maximum allowable percentage of nitromethane fuel permitted in modern NHRA Top Fuel and Funny cars. Which is what makes current "nostalgia nitro" so cool - you can still "tip the can" and run straight nitro, if you want to. I'm an aging northeast liberal with an overdeveloped justice gland.
