The law won?

Money, that's what they want...


 While Donald Trump is just one of a myriad of political problems with Facebook (including that Mark Zuckerberg just might be a closet fascist himself), I have to wonder (and I say this obviously as a layman and not a lawyer) how much their decision this week to continue the ban of Trump from their social media site was based on fears of legal liability if Trump were restored and more Americans were killed as a result of his blubbering, as happened to the five people killed at the armed insurrection in our nation's capital on January 6th.

I have to imagine that there are any number of law firms in America who were already having preliminary discussions as to future lawsuits against Trump should he kill more Americans with his hate speech as Trump was already responsible for five deaths and hasn't shown the slightest remorse for his actions (and four of the five who died were Trump supporters--not someone you'd want in a foxhole with you).  It's not like Facebook could argue they didn't know.

It probably wouldn't be pretty--especially if those killed happened to be Democrats.  Trump's adversaries do not worship the twit and likely would be more than happy to sue for sizable, and winnable, amounts.

If nothing else, it surely has to be food for thought for both Facebook's and America's lawyers.

Chain, chain, chain--chain of fools

Dinner at the Gates' household

 Bill Gates said this week that it would be "a shame" if Facebook permanently banned Donald Trump for his egregious actions fomenting a coup in our country.

For the life of me, I see no reason why Trump's banning would be a shame.  He lied over 30,000 times in his four years in office.  Trump bolstered white nationalists and encouraged their violent tendencies--in case Gates is too ignorant (not unlikely for such a self-centered man) to figure it out, white nationalists literally want anyone who isn't white dead or returned back to slavery.  Trump continually incited his followers with lies about our election which eventually led to them trying to overthrow a legitimately elected President.  Lying is not protected speech and we have laws to protect us from it.  While racism may be protected, encouraging violence is not and racism is not protected from the backlash of public outrage.  Trump's actions concerning the insurrection--the cowardice of 43 GQP Senators notwithstanding--were sedition, also not protected.

Frankly, the only person Gates cares about is himself (consider his non-profit, which was pretty much set up to be not a charity but a way to confirm his worldview--epic fail!)--my guess is that he either has a financial stake in Facebook or else Microsoft profits in some way from people using Facebook.  Well, that or he's just looking out for his fellow rich white assholes--after all, racism only affects poor folks, am I right?

One of the few things I'm going to regret when my time on this earth is through is that I won't have lived long enough to see the look on the faces of pigs like Bill Gates when enough Americans rise up and put our pitchforks straight on up their privileged pathetic asses, and they realize that all of their money isn't going to be enough to stop their epic and long overdue ruination.
