The Morning Rant
So this is what the CEI (Competitive Enterprise Institute) has to say about President Trump's new executive order on social media:
President Trump's new executive order on social media speech, if implemented, would require a significant government apparatus to oversee it, as would the legislative proposals we have seen from Republicans like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). If the right's concern is the left's presumed dominance of online discourse and the blocking of viewpoints, the proposed Executive Order would worsen the problem by delivering the Internet into the hands of the administrative state...If the Trump White House goes forward with this executive order, some conservatives will have helped erect an Anti-First and Fifth Amendment machinery to police online speech that they are highly unlikely to control as time goes on.Of course, this misses the point completely. Whoever wrote it has no understanding of the way Trump operates. It's like tariffs. Many doctrinaire libertarions got upset when Trump proposed new tariffs and increased tariffs on Chinese imports. But it's not clear that he thinks that tariffs are a positive good in and of themselves. He had another end in mind: more advantage trade deals with China, ones that benefitted America more. The threat of tariffs was simply a club that he used to bring China to the negotiating table. I think this same narrative is in play here. Trump is not interested in adding another layer of government bureacracy to enforce social media regulations. I think his EO is just a shot across the bow to warn social media to clean up its act. The tech giants now know that Trump means what he says and that there are off-the-radar negotiations going on. I don't know this, I am merely speculating, but this is how Trump always seems to work: make a lot of noise in public and get stuff done in practice. I don't think it is a coincidence that he started taking shots at the pathetic dweeb Joe Scarborough a few days ago. It's part of his distraction strategy. As I've said many times, Democrats and journalists (BIRM) are like a roomful of cats and Trump is the one standing at the door waving a laser pointer. "Just you wait!" I can almost hear them say, "we'll get that red dot this time and that will be the beginning of the end for -- oh, look, there it is, over there on that wall -- get it! Oof! Curse you, Trump!" He does this *all* the time. And they *always* take the bait. It's like they can't help themselves. And on a related note, Twitter's fact-checking of Trump's tweet about mail-in ballots turned out to be wrong. Oops.

Yes. The CEI is wrong on this one. Read the order. It only does one new thing and that is to prohibit federal executive agencies from buying advertising on the platforms. The other two items are existing federal agencies - under *existing* law - to look into the social media systems to determine if there is any potential conflict with platform status (FCC) or deceptive trade practices (FTC). This is nothing new and didn't even require an EO. I think he did this via EO to make a lot of noise and spark a much wider and more public argument over it.
And it won't require new enforcement because there is nothing new. If they lose their platform status, for example, it opens them to liability. But that is a civil matter. If there's found to be anything with deceptive practices, that is not civil but it also isn't new.
Other than the advertising block, the EO is entirely bluster - an extremely loud way of using existing mechanisms, likely for the purpose of dominating some news cycles and thrusting the issue of social media fairness into the fore.

You mean like right now for conservatives already but without the government itself doing it? What do I care, at this point, if "free markets" are silencing me and my POV as opposed to government? The end result is the same except that progressives get to keep their rights under the current paradigm.
Now if we level the playing field such that BOTH sides are forced to play the same field and same rules, then bring on the tyranny.

My TV set in my bedroom was in between two windows. I drew in crayon a gigantic spiral to simulate the Time Tunnel on that wall.
Parents were not impressed...

They stopped the in school stuff for the year and today was the day to drop off the materials and pick up stuff. They used a car line to do it.
It took forever because parents wanted to talk to the teachers, and there was so much fake enthusiasm.
My kid finished kindergarten. It's not exactly hard to do.
Whatever, it's done. Now I never have to go to that part of town again.

It amazes me, too, how people still react to a single step in his negotiation dances as if that's his only play/that it's his only goal.
The interesting timing is that Twitter has just put a former Google AI exec, who happens to be associated with the Chinese military, in a position to crush free speech on twitter -- and it's already happening with the suspension of pro-Hong Kong and anti-Xi accounts.
Censoring the POTUS (especially during an election year) *is* a big deal, but people are foolish if they really think this is only about Trump being pissed off about his own twitter content being messed with.

I'll take a swing. Democrats won't stop violence so they riot there because they can get away with it. "Give them the space to riot." Isn't that how they go? Rioting must be allowed to happen, so people can express their grievances.

Or it might just crush the current dominant social media companies who have become global powerhouses who feel comfortable suppressing speech in order to ensure their chosen world leaders are elected? What makes him think that isn't the goal?
The "cancel culture" that originated with these online powerhouses is already infecting other businesses, such as banking. The Lefty mobs that target people for cancellation on facebook, youtube and twitter aren't satisfied anymore, they then follow their targets to Gab, bitchute, patreon, and demand they be cancelled there, they attack their customers/sponsors, and they try to get the banks/patforms that facilitate any business transactions by their target to dump them, too.
There is no sitting back and allowing this to grow. It's way past time Trump and Congress took action, any action, that stops this activity and allows alternate platforms such as Gab to flourish and compete (not be de-platformed by the deplatforming mob).
Every law has unintended consequences because people change their behavior in all sorts of ways in response to it. What makes this CEI analyst think they have any idea how this EO and subsequent regulation by Congress will play out?

I had hoped with a smart military blog, we could get some good answers, but this one is tough.
As discussed above, the front of that first rifle looks very much like an early model M16/AR, but the collapsible stock and large charging handle is all wrong for that.
The shotgun looks nice and its a good photo, but Mossberg 500s and Remington 870s are both very common, and can look very similar. The safety is the easiest way to tell them apart, but of course, you can't see that.
Last picture doesn't give enough detail, at least for me, to ID the over/under shotgun or the random scoped rifle.

It amazes me, too, how people still react to a single step in his negotiation dances as if that's his only play/that it's his only goal.
The interesting timing is that Twitter has just put a former Google AI exec, who happens to be associated with the Chinese military, in a position to crush free speech on twitter -- and it's already happening with the suspension of pro-Hong Kong and anti-Xi accounts.
Censoring the POTUS (especially during an election year) *is* a big deal, but people are foolish if they really think this is only about Trump being pissed off about his own twitter content being messed with.

I've seen the question on FB that why is it the Michigan ARMED protesters didn't get tear gas and rubber bullets and the unarmed minn protesters did.
I WANTED to respond because the MI protesters didn't throw shit at the cops.
but the clear implication is that it's because they were white.

Other than the advertising block, the EO is entirely bluster - an extremely loud way of using existing mechanisms, likely for the purpose of dominating some news cycles and thrusting the issue of social media fairness into the fore.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 29, 2020 11:23 AM (hYcqw)
I think it goes even deeper than that. The ridiculously high valuations of social media companies are based on a clicks-and-eyeballs model that was speculated in the runup to the dot-bomb crash but never panned out.
Collecting and selling user tracking data was tacked onto the model starting a long while back, but none of it has actually materialized.

He finished and didn't give up because he was pissed and couldn't let them win in destroying him.

After the riots (oops "protests") in the 1960's, when many neighborhoods burned to the ground, nothing came back in to take their place.
Look at the cities that suffered riots back then, even now, and there are downtown areas that look nice and shiny, but plenty of neighborhoods are still waiting. Apparently a large public housing complex in Minneapolis, which was under construction and scheduled to open next year, has been burned to charred embers.
The madness of crowds.

Trump's made noise on the Twatters about intervening in Minneapolis.
I can't overstate how much I don't like that idea.
This, if anything, should be a teachable moment. Tell America "Look, MN has been Democrat for half a century. All the politicians are Democrats. All the abusive cops are Democrats. All the looters are Democrats. Most of the victims of looting voted for this. The MN Democrats made this mess, and now the MN Democrats will clean it up.
There will be no federal intervention. No troops will be put in harm's way under my orders. No funds will be diverted for reconstruction efforts. You are on your own.
Do better, MN voters."

"If you think that is ancient history, take a look at more recent cases documented in the Heritage Foundation election fraud database, which contains a sampling of almost 1,300 proven cases of fraud from around the country. That includes the mayor of Gordon, Ala., who was removed from office last year after being convicted of absentee ballot fraud in an election he won by only 16 votes." (my bolding)

I wasn't speaking to political calculations, but I think that's all downside, too. The mayor and governor have had law enforcement stand down and permit the looters to run wild with torches.
They didn't have to do that. But they did.
I believe they did so in the hopes of having Trump intervene. The racist President and racist troops enforcing racism in MN.

Lee Meriweather got her start as Miss America in the late '50s. My father had a thing for her, thinking she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
One of my uncles ran a furniture store way back then, and she made some appearance there as part of the rubber chicken circuit she had to go on as Miss America. My father met her and after that he was gobsmacked.
I don't think they had to call security on him, but it might have been close.

He told how his family's house was the only one on the block not torched, because there was a white family on the first floor, his family (black did I mention?) on the 2nd.
Said if he met me in a race riot situation, all he would see would be my whiteness. Which is why, I told him, I would give any such scene a wide berth - preferably in the hundreds of miles.
He told me when we first met he figured me for a real racist redneck. We got past that enough for him to tell me so.

The premise is odd, there is something that comes back from the moon and starts wreaking havoc. Koenig is the hero and they decide that the threat came from the moon and he has a decent line after someone asks him what they should do: 'We have got to go back to the Moon.' So, they scrap together a lot of display parts of a saturn v with a lander and shoot that son of a bitch to the moon to fight the alien(?) threat.

I think once the % of bad ones hits a critical mass, good ones realize they have as much to fear from their "brothers" as non-uniformed criminals, and head for greener pastures. The few that remain have even less support and get drummed out for making waves, or worse. Doesn't mean the rest are actively evil, but they won't do anything to stop it (they might not put their knee on the neck, but they'll watch it happen, so to speak). Unionization exacerbates it, since it always works to the benefit of the worst.

That project is like "An Inconvenient Truth". It's designed not as a one-time splash of articles, but packaged as an education package and then added to public school curricula. Think it was even done as a joint project with the Pulitzer organization (gee, and then they awarded the authors, cute!).

One of the basic premises of anarchism is the question, how could it be any worse than what we have now?
It's hard to argue that point.
But yeah, the problem with any effort to implement an anarchic system is that as soon as you start implementing, somebody's going to be in charge, and there's your government. By another form, but still, a government, with elites and power structures and enforcement.
It's just mirror image marxism. Nice and pretty in theory, totally impossible if you're going to have humans involved.

I doubt MN extends this to shooting a looter/pure defense of property.

I'm okay with that. Why should a percentage of good law enforcement risk their lives for people that detest them, let everyone fend for themselves from now on.
No, the NG won't fill the void, you will, you will protect your children, your business, your life's work.
Why should anyone volunteer to be part of law enforcement. There's enough able bodied lawyers, cashiers, bus drivers, child care workers, chefs, etc to do that job so much better.
