Why do some people in Florida want the virus to spread and the pandemic to continue?

When I saw MSNBC this AM they were talking about the C-19 case #s dropping in the state
so some school districts are now going to drop the mask mandates. Another 1 or 2 months
of having mask mandates could be a big help in controlling* this disease and not giving the
virus new hosts where they might mutate into a new strains and then the whole cycle might
start again.


* Sadly thanx to the anti mask, anti science, anti vaccine idiots, and just basic biology I think we
have lost the chance "to put this thing" behind us and we will be living and sometimes dying from
this virus for a very long time.

FYI & GTK Facebook has already paid a $5 billion fine* for rat fucking America by their use of ...

... Cambridge Analytica's algorithms and I think that included the 2016 elections too. However almost
nobody knows about that. I have know about Cambridge Analytica and its algorithims that the Russians
and the Trump campaign used to I.D. targeted people on Facebook so as to bath them in misinformation
about Hillary, her emails, her email servers, and her scandals with the Clinton Foundation (A+ rated and
Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton never got 1 dime from) but I have just learned about the $5 billion fine
in the past 2 to 3 weeks.

“Without Facebook, we wouldn’t have won,” said Theresa Hong, a member of the digital arm of Trump’s presidential campaign, in an interview with the BBC last year when giving a tour of Trump’s digital campaign headquarters, dubbed Project Alamo, in San Antonio, Texas. Alamo was the name of the dataset used by Cambridge Analytica, according to Hong, who said Cambridge Analytica shared offices with the Trump campaign’s digital efforts and confirmed Facebook and Google sent liaisons to their offices to help Trump’s campaign. Hong showed the BBC how Cambridge Analytica could identify if, say, it was targeting a working mother concerned about childcare: She probably wouldn’t be interested in “a war ridden destructive ad” popping up in her Facebook app, but might respond to something more “warm and fuzzy,” lacking Trump’s voice, Hong said. “It wasn’t uncommon to have about 35 to 45 thousand iterations of these types of ads everyday.”

Zuckerberg and Facebook were well aware of what was happening but they were making money so they didn't care or they were so craven that they might have thought "it was neat" just how powerful Facebook had become.


* The $5 billion penalty against Facebook is the largest ever imposed on any company for violating consumers’ privacy and almost 20 times greater than the largest privacy or data security penalty ever imposed worldwide. It is one of the largest penalties ever assessed by the U.S. government for any violation.

Angry Dad in Claifornia explains his anger @ Gov. Newsom ... A must see.

Are they going after TFG for conspiracy? Georgia D.A. is now working with the House 1/6/21 Committee

The Georgia district attorney running the inquiry is now also sharing information with the House committee investigating
the 6 January attack on the Capitol in Washington DC.

And the Georgia Sec. of State has Trump on tape asking for 11,780 votes, asking for the Sec. of State to just say
something like, "there is doubt about the election," and most damning they have Trump telling Georgia's Sec. of
State's lawyer, on tape, "that something big is going to be happening on January 6th."

Just saying.

Or am I

Thanx to DUer Mama goes logging for posting the piece below 1st.

Criminal inquiry into Trump's Georgia election interference gathers steam
Donald Trump is facing increasing legal scrutiny in the crucial battleground state of Georgia over his attempt to sway the 2020 election there, and that heat is now overlapping with investigations in Congress looking at the former president’s efforts to subvert American democracy.

A criminal investigation into Trump’s 2 January call prodding Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “just find” him 11,780 votes to block Joe Biden’s win in the state is making headway. The Georgia district attorney running the inquiry is now also sharing information with the House committee investigating the 6 January attack on the Capitol in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, a justice department task force investigating threats to election officials nationwide has launched inquiries in Georgia, where election officers and workers received death threats or warnings of violence, including some after Trump singled out one official publicly for not backing his baseless fraud claims.

Despite these investigations, Trump is still pushing bogus fraud claims in Georgia. Trump wrote to Raffensperger in September asking him to decertify the election results, which is impossible, and with an eye on the 2022 elections is trying to oust Raffensperger, as well as the state’s governor, Brian Kemp, and other top Republicans who defied his demands to block Biden’s win.

Didn't Facebook and Zuckerberg already pay a 5 billion $ penalty in part for their help in rat

... fucking 2016 elections? (I just learned about this a few weeks ago.) From what I could figure out is
that Cambridge Analytica (the Mercers) used algorithms to I.D. targeted Facebook users in order to bath
them in Russian produced misinformation (that the Russians got by hacking Hillary & the DNC's computers)
about Hillary, her emails, her email servers, and "the scandals" at the Clinton Foundation. Do I have this
right or am I nuttier than a squirrel turd?


"Facebook, Inc. will pay a record-breaking $5 billion penalty, and submit to new restrictions and a modified corporate structure that will hold the company accountable for the decisions it makes about its users’ privacy, to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the company violated a 2012 FTC order by deceiving users about their ability to control the privacy of their personal information."

"In addition, the FTC alleges that Facebook took inadequate steps to deal with apps that it knew were violating its platform policies."

"In a related, but separate development, the FTC also announced today separate law enforcement actions against data analytics company Cambridge Analytica, its former Chief Executive Officer Alexander Nix, and Aleksandr Kogan, an app developer who worked with the company, alleging they used false and deceptive tactics to harvest personal information from millions of Facebook users. Kogan and Nix have agreed to a settlement with the FTC that will restrict how they conduct any business in the future."

I wonder how much of the anti mask, anti vaccine, anti Fauci, and anti Biden crap which is plaguing America now is
Russian produced and or backed crap is from facebook?

How a Facebook Employee Helped Trump Win—But Switched Sides for 2020

We can all take comfort in: "He (TFG) will never have another good day."

And this was written before his attempted coup and his ban from Twitter and Facebook too.

I imagine it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.

And right now he is trying to sue Twitter to let him back on.

The media is out to get Joe Biden no doubt about it. The Joe Biden's Failure meme.

Joe didn't fail in Afghanistan nor is he failing in trying to get done what he campaigned on.


If Mitch and the republicans by use of the filibuster and with the help of 2 grifters in Sinema and Manchin
stop some or part of or all of Joe Biden's legislature agenda how can this be called HIS FAILURE?

The American people and our environment are the ones who are gonna hurt not Joe. The things in both
the build back better and the infrastructure bills are very much needed and very popular with the American
people and the onus of not getting these things is on the GOP and Sinema/Manchin. And in 2022 we can
hang that around their necks.

Republicans are systematically killing their voters.

Take a moment and see who Speaker Pelosi put on the committee to investigate 1/6/21

Feel good thread! No wonder TFG is shittin' kittens and is threatening to sue the White House to keep
the records of what he was doing secret.

Pelosi has put together a kick ass committee to investigate the January 6 attack/coup.
