Lots of interesting things going down. I like Uhaul running out of trucks because of people 'Conservatives' leaving California. Has the Ruling Party worried!

  That means the rates for renting a moving truck will be cheaper for the drug and human smugglers going to Commifornia. Just what the state of KA needs.

  I bought from them recently. If you do, get ready for a L O N G wait. Shipping is epically slow. The slogans are cool and clothes are decent.

It is amazing to think that something like Facebook can actually de-platform a sitting elected official....wonder what would have happened if they had done this to lord Obama????

  Keep in mind some of those elected officials only had their private page taken down, not their public.
  
  I mean sure it's still censoriously lame, but not quite the same as "deplatform(ing) a sitting elected official".
  
  Also, keep in mind - fedgov has no contract with Facebook to provide publishing services to elected officials. Officials have their own govt-hosted pages for that.

    They are a "Public Accommodation" [as defined by the Supreme court in US Vs. Heart of Atlanta Motel,] if ever there was one....in fact they have a special legislation that guards them from legal liability from lawsuits as they are "not a publisher" so this makes them a public accommodation that is afforded special legal protections. Under typical case law, this makes it even more difficult to refuse someone as they are getting a protection not granted to other "Private" businesses. ....again, I ask....would we be having a different conversation if this was Barrack Obama????

Dear FFA. Gotta tell you. I was born in Los Angeles at Methodist Hospital. Mother and Daddy got me back to Texas as fast as possible since 8 generations of my family have lived in Texas. I wouldn't fit in at all in California now.

On the subject of fact-checking, can an Associate Justice lie to the Supreme Court? Present falsehoods? Recuse herself, having already formed an opinion prior to presentation of factual evidence?
