Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

And separately, I'm not sure how eschewed the killing of civilians really is today (or at the very least, their immiseration and displacement for strategic or political ends).

Seems to me one of the answers to this is to have the US government set up a platform, that would make it subject to the first amendment. Of course, there are other issues that would come with this, but it would fix that one issue.

This is a tricky issue because a government run platform will likely be subject to corruption, I think the best way is to make a special distinction for social media platforms operating within the US to abide by the first amendment in regulating their content as a form of free speech and press

That would run afoul of the first amendment. Maybe a public-private partnership? Essentially a company hired by the US, and thus subject to stricter regulations than a fully private business.

This is a lie that has been eating at me that I was going to let go but it's so egregious and so self congratulatory that I apparently cannot let it go.
The narrative here that he wants to present is that this comes as part of his own self relflection of excusing left wing violence over the course of the summer.
But should you peruse the the COVID thread (just pick up any point in the conversation from that period) from the time, this is actually just part of a long pattern of him excusing right wing terror and intimidation with no shortage of critiques for the George Floyd protests.
If you want a pattern of encouragement, of excuse making and emboldening, there is no straighter line than making excuses for armed right wing demonstrators intimidating government officials in the summer and those same individuals storming the Capitol building. Somehow in the mirror of self reflection that became something else because it makes a good story. But it's just that. It's just a story.

Nah, that intimidation was also wrong.
You'll note at that time, I was talking explicitly about protests and the spread of covid and a particular study that was being misrepresented regarding the spread of covid.
But you didn't read that either, so who can be surprised.

I read it. The record stands.

Based on the other half of your comment I’m thinking you don’t actually know how much of anything actually works.

How did the siege of Capitol Hill go?
Because, the police at the time didn't have the largest guns, the the Executive took a while to react.
Meanwhile, these terrorists were calling to lynch Pence.
I think as well, there is a big difference between violence by a mob, and a law which stipulates the loss of your freedoms from committing a crime.

I'll be damned if Biden actually has a will.

So Pelosi and Harris can manipulate our genes to the point of "abolishing basic biology", implement universal healthcare, increase taxes on the rich to fund social programs, and deplatform domestic terrorists and insurrectionists?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
