Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Banned By Major Social Media Site, Campaign Pages Blocked

Twitter owner Elon Musk invited Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a discussion on his Twitter Spaces after Kennedy said his campaign was suspended by Meta-owned Instagram.

“Interesting… when we use our TeamKennedy email address to set up @instagram accounts we get an automatic 180-day ban. Can anyone guess why that’s happening?” he wrote on Twitter. An accompanying image shows that Instagram said it “suspended” his “Team Kennedy” account and that there “are 180 days remaining to disagree” with the company’s decision.

Because Democrats have complete control of everything. They hate Elon Musk because he had enough money to break part of that.

They hate Musk because he is a Union buster. Musk and SpaceX are strongly anti-union. Tesla employs over 127,000 workers across its global operations, none of whom are unionized.

And who told you Democrats completely control everything? They can't get the tax code changed because of GOP objections to forcing Elon Musk to pay taxes. Progressives’ favorite new punching bag: Elon Musk’s taxes

This is another thing Democrats can't control without removing 6 Republicans from the Supreme Court who reinterpreted the 2nd Amendment to satisfy GOP gun loving voters:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, guns became the leading killer of children in 2020, overtaking car crashes, drug overdoses and disease for the first time in the nation’s history. Yet as the one-year anniversary of the massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, passes, nagging questions loom.

Why haven’t lawmakers acted with forceful correctives? What will it take to regain a sense of safety? When will change happen? And how, exactly, did America end up here? The GOP is why.

Why does Mike Pence think he has a chance of becoming president? This was a good question even before the events of Jan. 6, 2021. His record is extremely conservative even by Republican standards; he criticized George H.W. Bush for signing civil rights legislation and raising taxes and, in 2003, warned that a Medicare prescription drug benefit supported by the younger Bush would potentially “usher in the beginning of socialized medicine in America.” His most high-profile act as governor of Indiana was signing a bill intended to allow businesses to refuse service to gay customers.

This is why Trump selected him as a VP candidate—to give the 2016 Republican ticket credibility among the kinds of free-market evangelicals once thought of as the GOP “base.”

In the Republican primary, he’s now contending with a huge number of voters who believe he betrayed the party by refusing to help overturn the 2020 Election.

No. They hate Elon Musk because he broke their favorite propaganda toy.

That's the difference between you and I. I don't need somebody like Kevin Drum or Paul Krugman to tell me what to think.

Democrats don't want that either. They just pretend to want it. Just like they pretend to want to remove the Electoral College but never change it when they have the power to. Or like how they had ample opportunity to codify Roe V Wade, but always conveniently forgot to do it when they had the power to.

From the CNN article that gives you that stat:

Quote:

---

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020. Firearms accounted for nearly 19% of childhood deaths (ages 1-18) in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wonder database. Nearly 3,600 children died in gun-related incidents that year.

---

A whopping 3,600 dead between 0-18 years old by firearms is the leader in 2021, and you Democrats take kids out of school for how long?

Democrats own and control the CDC as well as the Schools, Media, Hollywood, the HR departments of all businesses that have over 500 employees and all of the alphabet agencies.

You aren't getting the fucking guns. You're never getting the fucking guns.

The guns are the only reason that you Democrats weren't throwing people like me in concentration camps over a cold like they were doing in Australia during the plandemic.

You dumb, scared, propagandized motherfuckers were wrong about everything for two years.


You want crime to go down? Let cops do their fucking jobs again and stop letting blacks run wild and do whatever they want to do because black. Most of those dead kids are black kids.

The Real Reason Republicans Want to Give Tax Breaks for Embryos

Wisconsin lawmakers are trying to "clarify" the state's 1849 abortion ban in a bid to make the wildly unpopular and anachronistic law palatable to modern voters

Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature introduced a package of bills this week to “clarify” the state’s abortion ban, 174 years after it became law. The 1849 ban, which criminalizes abortion in every circumstance, except to save the pregnant person’s life, went back into effect last June after 50 years of obsolescence.

It’s a deeply unpopular law: By margins of 2 to 1, voters said it should be repealed in every single county where the question was on the ballot this April. (In a statewide judicial election held the same day, the pro-choice candidate — who, it is widely assumed, will vote to strike the ban down when it is challenged at the state Supreme Court next term — won by 11 points.)

But Republicans in Wisconsin can’t seem to grasp this obvious truth. Rather than repeal the 1849 ban, as Democrats have proposed, a group of GOP lawmakers — led by 32-year old Sen. Romaine Quinn — touted a total of four bills they hope will make the pre-Civil War law more palatable to modern Wisconsinites. Included in the package is an offer that has become trendy among antiabortion ideologues: tax breaks for embryos.

LRB-2486 would allow parents to claim an exemption on their tax returns for “unborn children for whom a fetal heartbeat has been detected.” Co-sponsor Rep. Donna Rozar made the proposal’s intent crystal clear: The bill, she said, “recognizes an unborn child as a distinct human being prior to birth by allowing the child to be claimed as a dependent.” The point isn’t to support Wisconsin families — the point is to change the definition of when life begins as part of an effort to enshrine in Wisconsin law the dangerous and dehumanizing concept of “fetal personhood.”

It’s all part of an effort to extend Constitutional rights to fertilized eggs — a legal theory that simultaneously revokes the rights of the individuals carrying those pregnancies.

Wisconsin Republicans aren’t the first to try this: Georgia’s Department of Revenue announced in August “any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat” could be claimed as a dependent on state tax returns. The representative behind Georgia’s LIFE Act, which created the tax break, later admitted in a leaked video that the credit was all part of a gambit to get the Supreme Court to recognize fetal personhood: “We’re going to take this to the highest court in the land.”

The consequences of a ruling recognizing fetal personhood are difficult to overstate: The moment that an embryo is recognized as a person with rights, virtually any behavior that poses any kind of risk to a pregnancy can be criminalized or litigated. In one infamous case, an Alabama woman was charged with manslaughter for losing her pregnancy after she was shot in the stomach by another person. (That case was dismissed after a public outcry.)

6ix, do you realize that you are foaming-at-the-mouth crazy? I know this about you, without having seen you, because people I have seen in Texas who have expressed the identical opinions you are expressing are crazy-crazy-crazy and are not prospering. Several have killed themselves, which was not unexpected behavior for crazy people. Didn't one of your relatives kill himself? Crazy runs in your family. (Parenthetically, crazy runs in every Trump voter's family I'm familiar with. So many dark and deeply disturbing family memories Trump voters are trying to expunge by supporting him.)
