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

I try whenever I can.

Barry Rashford

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

k san

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.
