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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

Robert Davidson

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

I own a car

Cheryl Gafner

Ick.

Amie John-Baptiste

I drive 30-40 mins to work which would be a 2 hour commute one way if I took public transportation.

Brandy Kuykendall

I would if it was available. where I live in Austin Texas there is public transportation but it is a 30 minute drive to the nearest transit center and then most places take 2 or more hours transferring from bus to light rail to get to my destination. Or I can drive myself in about 45 minutes.

Tina Bouthillier

I own a car

Phyllis

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

seaweed349

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

Shane Hill

Because i don't have to.

Valerie Lantz

I live in a rural area without public transportation available.

Theresa Scherf

It's not an option. I live out in the country ca. 5 miles from town.

Lori Johnson

Public transportation is not an option where I live.

rover6rover

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

linda tansey

I stopped a long time ago. Just too much waste thrown out. Too much plastic is created to wrap food products, etc with. Needs to be stopped now. Find alternative ways .
