We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way... Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people.

Smoke.

Would that shake any of you Trump supporters?
 
I just looked it up. It's in regards to ... wait for it...


Muslims and recruiting jihadis

Follow the smoke Donald, close them up. Go nuts on tracking down radical Muslims. Follow them into the stall for all I care.

When Methodists take over three states and start burning baptists and chopping off heads of other denominations I will go through whatever vetting the government wants.
 
Probably loads of controversial executive orders to come, Soros-paid "protesters" hit the streets, tear shit up, beat people, mainstream media reports country divided as never before and Trump presidency therefore illegitimate. Unlike a Jeb! or assorted other cucks, Trump stands firm and EO is enacted. Repeat.

If he did announce regulation of the internet (specifically content) - what would be your opinion?

If he announced a ban on merlot, what would yours be?

Dude I'm not a Trump bitch. I voted for him but I'm my own man. I consider the internet a utility for free speech - period.

Again however - this president depends on a free speech internet to exist. I don't consider this a real issue.

I believe there is zero chance that would happen coming from Trump. The only way it happens is if Democrats get their net neutrality legislation passed one day. And I hope that never happens.
 
Trump was elected because of the internet. What kind of content do you think he is after?
Hard to tell at this point. If I had to bet it likely is about pushing liability to networks (Facebook, Twitter, et al) for content that promotes or assists enemies of the US. This could be much ado about nothing, but we shouldn't have to wait too long to find out.

Merlot - that's trash... come for Pinot and I will draw a line.

You talk a good game, but the question is where is your line? Misogyny? Nope. Suspending due process for a small minority? You appear cool with that. Require a safety course before you can buy a gun? Holy freaking shit!

You need to take a break. Bernie (or Hillary) lost. We all realize that you (and a few other posters) are upset. Were you shocked, flabbergasted and mortified at the election results? Sure. You went into the final day feeling there was no way hilldog could lose....and then she did.

Deep breaths. From your well heeled white womenfolk march commentary, it appears you should save a breath or two for your loved ones. They need you. E-battles with fellow cowboys will not change the results of the election.
 
Just saw on CNBC.com that the next one will overhaul work visas, which I slb my overdue. You may not like it and Google and Apple will be pissed, but it needs to be done for 2 reasons. 1, it is used to hire slave labor at the expense of higher paid Americans. 2. It treats the visa holder like shit.

I work in oil and gas and we saw almost 50% of our workforce cut over the past 2 years. I'm not aware of any H1B holders that were cut. I'm sure there were some, but not 50%.

They serve a purpose since education in this country is more concerned with not hurting feelings than teaching STEM, but in many cases we don't even try to find a US citizen for those positions and tech companies are by far the worst at it.

I do too. I do find it interesting that Facebook, Google, Twitter and others were founded and got to their current status solely because of the internet. Yet, they are some of the widest users of censorship, particularly of political speech, around.

The new FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is not a proponent of net neutrality.

A good laugh here...

The next controversial EO will be........ the very next one he signs.........and every one after that. They are all controversial because the media wants everything he does to be followed by mass hysteria and meltdown

Probably.....it does seem that a whole lot of people squawking about Obama's exercise of power with executive orders are remarkably silent now.

AND

A whole lot of people remarkably silent about Obama's exercise of power with executive orders are definitely squawking now.

@MegaPoke has hit it on the head....don't exercise authority against your "enemies" that you don't want your enemy to exercise against your "allies".

I'm just over here watching the inexorable march to authoritarianism from both sides of the aisle.

Your thinking of LiveWire. Wait Wait is Sunday's.

Nice vid there, misses the earlier part where the Trump dudes start shit outside then retreat inside. Not condoning the violence. But you might do a bit of research before you quote fake news.
 
Oh scuse me I guess I don't get Carl castles voice on my answering machine now.

What vid are we talking about?
 
PDX protest fight... starts outside, ends inside. Breitbart cherry picks the ending with no reference to beginning.

Why are you jumping my ass about that video? That's not even in this thread. Mix in a glass of water every once in a while

Lol... you reference PDX - wires crossed on my part. The individual I was tracking is home after 18 hrs at SFO. Other than getting slapped around by some bad ass with an Okie accent they are fine.

I would prefer a glass of wine right now. Might take some of the edge off this insanity.
 
Good to hear.

Sjw 's should avoid okie accents. With our terrible educations and our neanderthal tendencies even our women could clean out a San Fran blue oyster bar.
