One sided political Censorship allowed them to completely suppress the conservative and other candidates message for president from 2016 on. The censorship of Greitens Ad is a huge example! Infringes on 1stAmendmt. Social Credit system incoming. Ex: Say the wrong things you can’t get $$ at ur bank.

Jennifer, for once I vote with "Lord Voldemort" Max, and I vote against "Jailbird Justin". You are correct, like usual

Jack L

I avoid social media as much as possible, I think most of it sucks, but I guess they have the right to put up what they want as long as it`s factual. We have the right to go there or not

Jennifer M

As usual, Poor Justin is still all show and no go. We'll just say that's an "institutional thing". Hopefully that remedies at some point

Jack L

Sometimes inmates become "institutionalized " and it takes them a while to adjust to normal society

Jennifer M

Honestly, all of social media is screwed up. I detest all of it. But as much of a 1st amendment right Greitens has to make and post his ad, the social media platforms have equal right to view it as they wish and refuse to post it.

Jennifer M

Max says I'm correct. Convict/burger flipper Justin says I'm wrong. Which is it boys?

Jennifer M

Just as Trump can say all the lies about a stolen election he wishes. We have a right not to read it. But he does NOT have a right to start a riot like did. Just like we don't have a right to yell fire in a theater or yell bomb on a plane or yell active shooter in a mall or stadium etc.

Max DeYoung

That is correct Jennifer, Trump can say it and you can ignore it, like we ignore you, Jack, and Adam.

Max DeYoung

Eric Greitens' has the Right, to make and post the Ad. The people have the Right, to view or not view the Ad. Just like Biden has the Right to Blabber his daily lies and rhetoric, the People have the Right to Laugh at his Blabber or not listen to and not laugh at his Blabber.

Max DeYoung

Facebook has no tolerance for Conservative thoughts, Honesty, or Political Satire. Elon is going to purchase Facebook next! He's already working on it, he is just waiting for Meta stock to fall further down. It has already fallen over 50% in the last six months!

Keep the trash etc., coming from the Republicans off. Greitens went too far. Hasn't he seen all the killings of children etc., on the media? Trump should be banned for life from all social contact through Facebook and Twitter.

Vernon Taylor

An awesome hatred filled intolerant post. Illustrates what real Republications and conservatives face from liberal minions and their determination to silence and eliminate all who dare to voice realistic opinions and concerns.

Jack L

Bonnie, you are 100% correct

Adam

Damn Bonnie!!! Go get em. Tell how you really feel....lol But yes, I agree with you

This is a good start and the best that could be passed. Don't let perfect be the enemy of great.

Dennis Willems

Everyone should support the bill.

Eric Smith

They should support the president and the constituents who voted them in. That includes us who believe you work for what you get. No handouts!

Toasty

The cuts didn't go deep enough. Ex. Musk's criticisms about how the EV mandates would be cut (good thing), but no cuts to the auto industry subsidies (bad thing). The liberal/socialist media is already lying to folks how this bill is throwing grandma under the bus. Proof? Look at the 'No' comments.

It is a wealth transfer Bill: From the poorest Americans to the richest.

Anita Grace Ward

Please don’t do that! Trump promised no cuts to Medicaid but her we are just 5months into his term and he is doing that!

Laura Cochran

Help for the rich to get richer and it puts more average people in worse situations. Don't cut Medicaid or Social Security

David Keller

They are going to take Medicaid away from 16 million people and who knows what else. Josh Hawley has got to go if he votes yes.

T Boy

I do not like the tax cuts which would cause the reduction of Medicaid

John Harbaugh

Tax reductions for the super rich ... doesn't make sense when it cuts necessary programs and helps inflate our Country's debt

Porter Bingham

The only way they can make this look like it doesn’t completely destroy the deficit is by making certain tax cuts and spending increases “temporary.” I support the tax cuts, as long as they are met with subsequent spending cuts. The true burden of government is what it spends, not what it taxes.

Keith

We will vote every last Republican out of office. Stealing food and Healthcare from [anyone] to profit the rich is an act of war and shall be treated as such.

Max DeYoung

Fox News Poll: 6 in 10 are proud of US today – the most in more than a decade 7 in 10 voters think the United States is the best place to live The liberals are in PANIC mode LOL

Lorrie Tucker

It would increase the national debt by about 3 trillion dollars, and take away necessary infrastructure, all while lowering taxes on the wealthy.

Tracy Trapp

As a customer of the Affordable Care Act I find it appalling that the two senators from Missouri would even consider supporting this bill that will potentially triple my monthly premium and also cut benefits. They should be ashamed of themselves for bowing down to the President. Checks and balances

Stephanie Leavendusky

It will hurt many people in Missouri.

Brad Chance

He said he would support the people who elected him. It's simple

Chris Ketcherside

You are kidding, right? Missouri congressmen need to read their job descriptions and represent their constituents. Voting for this bill is a betrayal of the will of the people.

Paula Garrett

Millionaires and billionaires don't need a tax break as much some people need health care. Also, social security's fund needs fixed which would have been a better use for that $45 million he wasted on a parade. Trump has all his priorities wrong.

James Itczak

This is a rash and extreme bill and someone needs to speak up and slow this down, people are going to suffer for this,

Gary Carter

They were elected to represent their constituents, ALL CONSTITUENTS not just those whom they perceived voted for them. Don't let anyone hold their vote hostage.
