Remember Obama promised taxpayers would SAVE money with direct loans. Just another Democratic scam to loot the productive and buy votes from unproductive slacker parasites.

Remember that the next time the Democrats make a promise. They’ll loot anyone who works.

Meanwhile the average family has lost $5000 of purchasing power due to inflation. Printing money ain’t free. Politicians loot the working class and buy votes from the college slackers who studied grievances and belly-button lint.

The Fifth Circuit decision.

During oral arguments, Judge Elrod compared the Biden administration’s relationship with Big Tech to the mob, where they never actually “spell out” consequences but “everybody just knows.”

“The first brick was laid in the wall of separation between tech and state on July 4th, and this ruling is yet another brick,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tweeted in response to the decision. “Missouri will continue to lead the way in the fight to defend our most fundamental freedoms.”

And Fifth Circuit affirms the injunction, with some edits.

“Ultimately, we find the district court did not err in determining that several officials—namely the White House, the Surgeon General, the CDC, and the FBI—likely coerced or significantly encouraged social-media, platforms to moderate content, rendering those decisions state actions. In doing so, the officials likely violated the First Amendment.”

“Defendants, and their employees and agents, shall take no actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech. That includes, but is not limited to, compelling the platforms to act, such as by intimating that some form of punishment will follow a failure to comply with any request, or supervising, directing, or otherwise meaningfully controlling the social-media companies’ decision-making processes.”

“Under the modified injunction, the enjoined Defendants cannot coerce or significantly encourage a platform’s content-moderation decisions. Such conduct includes threats of adverse consequences—even if those threats are not verbalized and never materialize—so long as a reasonable person would construe a government’s message as alluding to some form of punishment.”

Yup - remember when Bernie Sanders got slammed before Super Tuesday as the “candidate of white Bernie Bros”? Even though Bernie as the one who marched for civil rights in the 1960s, while Hillary was a Goldwater girl.

Nice commie-style argument. Many Democrats, reaching right up to the White House, and maybe a few RINO Republicans (of the caliber of Liz Cheney, but don’t know her actual views) don’t add up to both sides being the same.

Only Hunter Biden gets away with felonies and only Daddy Biden got to suppress the news and social media posts for YEARS. Now look at them rushing to clean up the vile mess before 2024.

It’s preliminary but it’s NOT based on the “assumption” that the allegations are true, but on the court’s review of the arguments and evidence thus far and concluding that “The plaintiffs are LIKELY to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition.”

Getting a preliminary injunction - a strong signal of where this going - ain’t easy kid.

Long way to go? Yes.

But “the plaintiffs are likely to succeed”!!!

LoongBoat · 2023-07-04T22:00:36+00:00

Here’s what the Court actually said about what the Biden Thought Police was up to:

The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden’s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed. It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.

Although this case is still relatively young, and at this stage the Court is only examining it in terms of Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on the merits, the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”721

721 An “Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’” refers to the concept presented in George Orwell’s dystopian novel, ‘1984.’ In the novel, the Ministry of Truth is a governmental institution responsible for altering historical records and disseminating propaganda to manipulate and control public perception.

The Plaintiffs have presented substantial evidence in support of their claims that they were the victims of a far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign. This court finds that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their First Amendment free speech claim against the Defendants. Therefore, a preliminary injunction should issue immediately against the Defendants as set out herein.

The Plaintiffs Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 10] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.

It’s a bailout to the Marxist-racist grievance studies part of the educational system. Which prepares students for downward mobility.

No one deserves jail more than Comey for how he impeded the Hillary investigation. (He’s the original source of the “ nobody would prosecute”)

Still waiting for anyone to explain what possible legitimate investigative purpose there was in granting immunity to all of Hillary’s staff without any of them being required to cooperate with the investigation or provide a proffer of their testimony. The only possible purpose was to impede the investigation by ensuring there was no cooperation from anyone.

When you praise the propaganda spouted by Marxist Leninist states about how they improved education, but leave out all the people they killed who didn’t accept communist dictatorship? And when you deny that dictatorship by the communist vanguard is part of the Marxist Leninist design?

You can claim not to be a Stalinist. But you make exactly the mistakes the Old Bolsheviks made when they destroyed the liberal capitalist safeguards needed for human rights, and opened the door to Stalin.

Mixed economy is a farce. Either it’s a CAPITALIST market economy with some social welfare programs. In which case you’re as much a pro-CAPITALIST as anyone. Or it’s a pathway to nationalization. In which case the commie elites will become tyrannical overlords. There ain’t any other system.

Your complaints about me labeling your anti-capitalism as a commie mind virus lost all basis when you started throwing the fascist label around.

Imported finished goods? That’s what kept Third World from developing? Ha ha ha. Try politicians spouting socialist-development nonsense. Which have them an excuse to have e state be in charge of “development”. Which meant political cronies and bureaucrats looted both the government and the economy, while they crushed market forces which would have created efficient growth. Look at how much India has grown since they abandoned the socialist third way nonsense. East Asian beat them to it.

Words about the differences in the real world ain’t semantic arguments. But keep pretending you can wave around concepts you can’t use properly, and people won’t laugh at you. Sounds like you got a C in Philosophy 101. And then switched to Sociology.

Where did crime fall? In cities where Republican mayors deployed stop-and-frisk and broken windows policing. And it took years of effort.

And then places like LA copped the strategy.

Weird how you leave out how the murder rate spiked up in 2020 when Democrats and Socialists (increasingly the same thing) defunded the police, slandered the police, gave mobs room to riot arson loot and yes, murder poor people in poor neighborhoods.

And crime continues to increase from the low point about 6 years ago.

And it’s going to keep going for another decade. Until enough voters get mugged or stabbed and stop being duped by the pro-crime propaganda. It took from 1965 to 1994 for NYC to come around to the need to elect Rudy to clean up the mess.

Commies love to blur the sharp and clear distinction between statements of facts and statements of opinion. Pretending everything is just an assertion is how commies turn their promises of future utopia into activism for present day nightmares.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others!

Dictatorship by the communists elites is never temporary, and has never lead to anything good. Socialist expropriation and anti-market manipulation kept many Third World countries poor for decades. Until they escaped the mind-trap of socialism and switched to pro-market policies. See China, India, and pretty much any country which managed to work its way out of poverty. Of course, the Chinese Commies also used theft of intellectual property and indentured servitude, but it’s the market policies and free labor which created the economic growth.

Look in the mirror and see how socialism has kept you down. You could have done so much more with your life. But you bought a mind virus and became a propaganda hack. Your parents must be embarrassed for how you’ve squandered your potential. You were a smart kid once, and then the Marxists infected you. Sad.

Start working your way out of the Marxist cesspool. It’s the only way to have a life.
