• YouTube pays Trump

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tue Sep 30 08:18:35 2025

    YouTube will pay Trump an amount of 22 million dollars because it had the audacity to block his account in 2021 following the storming of the Capitol. What dreadful sycophants the company's directors are.

    Trump certainly has learned how to monetize the presidency. If you are
    a media company looking to merge or continue to operate as a business
    sooner or later you'll be offered the opportunity to settle a frivolous
    lawsuit for cash and ansure a healthy return for your shareholders.

    Hey Kurt,

    How smart you are with your context-snipping. Tell me this - why did
    you trim/snip the line that I quoted RIGHT ABOVE where you *did* quote,
    above?

    The line that said: "Trump certainly has learned how to monetize the presidency."

    That's important because that's what my comment about Hunter Biden was
    in reference to. You knew that, and purposely snipped it, to
    (seemingly) remove the connection between "Hunter Biden" and "monetizing
    the Presidency".

    Often, you are VERY lazy with your trimming, leaving entire paragraphs
    of irrelevant crap below your responses, and just sending it. In this
    case, though, you carefully/surgically trimmed things just right, in a
    blatant attempt to skew the context to prevent you from looking like an
    idiot. It failed, as it always does.

    I'd be happy to hear your explanation as to why you snipped my post in
    that manner. You got the balls to answer that?

    Another question: You don't think Hunter Biden contributed to
    "monetizing the Presidency"? Come on, man up and actually answer a
    question, without deception or re-direction.

    HAHAHA... I get it now... Evidence comes out showing that Social Media were to restrict users who the Biden Administration doesn't like...

    Social Media companies say "Ya... My bad" we restricted people and even froze access to our services... Because of pressure from the Biden Administration.

    That's illegal... Well Unconstitutional having the Government dictating access to these platforms...

    Trump sues and ABC settles because they know they'll loose in court.

    Trump announces he's building a presidential library in Miami. And he's going to use the money he's winning in lawsuits to build it.

    You are comparing what Trump did in response to the removal of his Social Media accounts... Where there was evidence of the government interfering, the government said so, and you have the business... Google... Admitting that that was what they did... so they got sued...

    And you're comparing that to Crack Head Bob selling out the country to advance his family financially...

    They have no standing, though.

    Trump was able to sue only because we have laws that prohibit platforms/broascasters from censoring one side of politics. And Trump was a sitting President when his account was removed.

    Of course, YouTube can switch "sides" on Section 230 and declare that they are a "Publisher" and therefore in control of their content - which leaves them open to millions of lawsuits for other videos.

    I hear you... BUT... to my understanding of Section 230 is that you can't sue these companies over the content because they don' moderate the content... Per Se.

    Like you can't sue the ink and paper companies for content in the NY Times.

    That's the other side.

    YouTube has declared themselves to be a "platform". So, like the phone company, does not monitor content and can't be held responsible for objective content. Note that this is pre-emptive monitoring. If someone REPORTS objectionable content, YouTube can take action and still be a "poatform".

    But as soon as they started monitoring content and pre-emptively blocking content, they switched to the other side and became a "publisher", who IS responsible for their content.

    This is our frustration: YouTube wants to be a publisher, but doesn't want to be held accountable for content. The law says that they need to stay on one side or the other.

    Like you can't sue the ink and paper companies for content in the NY Times.

    Correct. But you can sue the NY Times for libel.

    In the case of YouTube, they want to only allow "good" people to have ink and paper. But want to say "we only sell ink and paper".

    What we do know now is that Joe Biden told the companies to sensor
    people, they did, and as a result should not be protected by Section
    230.

    Which is what most people are saying.

    The Biden Regime should be in prison for violating the Constitution.
    YouTube should be severaly punished for listening to them.

    I was listening to a video today... There is a guy I have been watching for some time now... He was a Saviour during the Loack-Downs but today he's getting on my nerves.

    He put out a video a video today talking about Chuck Grassley's findings showing that Jack Smith spying on 8 GOP Congress people.

    There is more than circumstantial evidence....

    And what pissed me off was Doug's lowering expectations about accountability.

    I think if someone, in power, does what the Biden Admin did, should go to jail for life. And if you were a flunky who followed them, the people in power, you should go to jail for life less 1 day.

    The flunky needs hope that he might get out some day.

    My hope is that we will see this soon. We are seeing prosecutions for low-level operatives. But my hope is fading that the Big Dogs get punished.

    There are several things going on in Social Media... One extreme is like Doug claiming that we should lower our expectations about all the stuff Biden did.

    One of his lines of reasoning was that the country was formed on Freedom and whatnot and there isn't the structure to deal with this much fraud committed by the Biden admin...

    Funny how Trump can find a law that's 200++ YO on the books to get done what he needs to get done... The Uni-Party can't dig in and find ways to deal with such corruption.

    We are a Republic, not a democracy, and we survive on the rule of law and when our lawmakers are as corrupt as they have been proven to be we are F#cked if this doesn't get fixed.

    We are a Republic, not a democracy, and we survive on the rule of law

    The United States is both a republic and a democracy, functioning as a constitutional federal republic that operates on democratic principles. The distinction lies in the specific mechanisms of governance and the historical evolution of these terms.

    In essence, the United States is a democratic republic or a representative democracy.
    - The republican aspect refers to it's form of government, one in which the people elect representatives to govern.
    - The democratic aspect refers to the idea that the power of the government is derived from the citizens, who can influence policy by participating in electorial process.

    The dual nature is a feature of its design. The U.S. operates with democratic principles like free and fair elections, but within a republican framework that limits power through a constitution and a system of checks and balances.

    Yes, there is. It's called "treason".

    Funny how Trump can find a law that's 200++ YO on the books to get done what he needs to get done... The Uni-Party can't dig in and find ways
    to deal with such corruption.

    That's mainly because the Elitists don't believe that the law applies to them. So they never bothered to read and understand the law.

    Trump believes he's bound by the law so he looks for ways in the law to do what he wants. Hence why so many DEI judges keep trying to block him.

    We are a Republic, not a democracy, and we survive on the rule of law
    and when our lawmakers are as corrupt as they have been proven to be we are F#cked if this doesn't get fixed.

    Which is why we want convictions and punishments. If these people get away, then the People will have no respect for the law.

    It's a Republic... Please

    Please show me where in the Constitution, or any other founding document where the word Democracy is??

    <--- Insert here...

    Even the Pledge of Allegiance...

    :Start
    "I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL."
    :Stop

    Says... "And to the Republic for which it stands"... NOTE it doesn't say the Democracy and or Democratic Republic, or any other derivative... It's clear... "And to the Republic for which it stands"

    After the Constitution, the legal document we use as a legal framework for our Republic... Benjamin Franklin responded to a woman's question...

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/spxPsUEJNls

    He responded... We are a REPUBLIC but only if we can keep it.

    He didn't say a Democratic Republic but only if we can keep it.

    During the creation of the Constitution, and saving the country from failure were the things added to said document that makes it not democratic.

    During that time they had to add features to the constitution that made it not a democracy.

    Small states like Rhode Island, Connecticut and any other small State did not want to sign on to the constitution as a Democracy because they'd be beholden to the whims of the large states like New York and when not...

    So they added things like... El Rections are not done by Popular Vote but rather the Electoral Collage. Though The House has proportional representation... The Senate has 2 Senators per-state to assist the states that have less population. Wyoming has 1 house Rep and 2 Senators... California has 52 House Reps and... 2 Senators.

    During this time they added the Amendment process and agreed to in part for the first 10 Amendments... The Bill of Rights...

    All of this was done to minimize centralized power and to maximize the power of the people.

    Had the US been a democracy Hillary would have been a President... But since it's a Constitutional Republic she was served her walking papers... Thanx to Daddy Trump.

    Yes, the US settles matters of who is going to represent the people though democratic processes... At the end it is a Republic.

    And thats where the Democratic process ends...

    I will wait for you to respond to my question... where in the constitution does it day Democracy or Democratic Republic...

    The difference between a Democracy and a Republic.

    Question... In which of these 2 countries can someone start Slavery back up?? Canada or the US...

    Well, the Answer is Canada... Canada is a democracy and in being so all they'd need is a 51% vote whereas the US has a constitution where it has backed into it the ability not top have that any more...

    So... Keep your eye open to those Sketchy People north of the US.

    I believe there'll be some prosecutions now. I wrote a message to you the other day about how I was pissed at some guy who was trying to make lite of all this democrat corruption and then I had a day to see the magnitude of it.

    Midterms are coming and this all needs to be exposed.

    I sent this clip to @Aaron to make him LOL and cry a little bit.

    Can't believe I have to explain something we learned in 9th grade:

    The U.S. is constitutional democratic republic.
    -Democratic in how leaders are chosen.
    -Republic in how the government is structured and limited.

    Please don't get things like Democrat and Democracy confused, they are not the same, just as Republican and Republic also don't mix.

    Without Democracy we the people have no voice
    Without a Republic we have no laws in which to govern.

    Can't have one without the other and still call it U.S.A

    Canada's constitution was written in the 80s... There was the "original" one done up in 1867... But it was finalized by Justin's Stepfather in ~1982.

    We are not a Constitutional Parliamentary Whatever... Unlike the US Constitution where it lays out the structure of the Government showing the limited powers and separation between the government branches...

    The Canadian Constitution holds what is our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

    If you didn't know about these 2 dates, 1867 and 1982, you would never know Canada had a constitution... The media and whatnot never talk about it... and the Educational system as well.

    When I moved to the US I saw it, at the time, as a lateral move. I wasn't leaving a failed country seeking a better life... I was seeking an opportunity.

    Once I moved down and was surrounded by rednecks, you couldn't make a full set of teeth with the lot, is when I became what the US really represented... I bought a gun and I now Piss Red-White and Blue.

    Its nothing to do with my prostate either.

    Want to hear something funny. Canada's PM was down to see Trump in DC the other day... Trump said that Transgender was evil... Carney has a Trans Child.

    That's all I have for this one.

    Not surprising. The U.S. indoctrination system doesn't cover how our gov't works as well.
