No caveats, no provisos, no ifs ands or buts.

It then additionally talks about good faith moderation, but the presence or absence of moderation of any kind is completely irrelevant to the first, clear, unambiguous protection. Don't believe me! Ask Nemet Chevrolet, who sued a website for selectively editing reviews against them and got laughed out of court, or "thoroughly destroyed" if you will.

Like I said I never tire of always being right.

“The courts ruled in contradictory ways.” Sure thing, lil buddy! You can stop making up shit when you realize you are in way over your head and instead just admit you are wrong. I know on your head you are never wrong but in reality you’re wrong at least 80% of the time and it’s just sad seeing you spread so much fake news.

Anyone else find it incredibly ironic that Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is decrying today's impeachment as further inflaming partisan anger and encouraging violence. As if Trump, Giuliani and Eric Trump hasn't actively directed a violent assault against the capital and incited insurrection. Do these idiot Trumpers and Qcumbers honestly think Republicans bear no responsibility for their actions and only Democrats should be held accountable. Fucking losers.

Yep. He stoked the flames himself now wants to call for unity? If you want unity we impeach and ban Trump from ever holding office again, the republicans who helped propagate the lies of the stolen election tell the truth then resign, and maybe we'll find some unity.

"We only want unity when we get our way!" is what you're really saying.

PBS lawyer resigns after being caught in Veritas sting

By Associated Press
Jan. 12, 2021 at 4:03 p.m. CST

NEW YORK — A lawyer for PBS resigned Tuesday after being caught describing President Donald Trump as “close to Hitler” in a right-wing sting operation.

Michael Beller, a contracts lawyer in PBS’ general counsel office, was recorded offering political opinions in what appeared to be a barroom conversation with a woman. It was released Tuesday by Project Veritas, a conservative group known for using undercover methods to reveal supposed liberal bias.

Beller is heard saying it was “great” that coronavirus cases were spiking in red states because they might infect Trump voters and suggested Republican voters should have their children put in re-education camps.

The lawyer did not speak on behalf of PBS or make any editorial decisions, PBS spokesman Jeremy Gaines said.

“There is no place for hateful rhetoric at PBS, and this individual’s views in no way reflect our values or opinions,” he said.

Efforts to reach Beller were unsuccessful.

Talk about lack of self-awareness. He almost makes time4fun look like she has some. Almost.

Er, pretty off the cuff statement. But right now? Any republicans voting or even saying anything against Trump are probably afraid of that same mob that gang murdered that Capitol Policeman right now.

I would not be surprised if that same fear is fueling some of the republicans to continue to totally betray this country and the Constitution in defense of Trump. They don't want to get shouted down or worse at airports like Mitch McConnel.

Yeah, saw that. Dumb way to end your career. Still, he does not speak for the 80 million people who voted for Biden and a return to common decency.

Yeah, actually there have been reports that Congressional Republicans are saying just that: they don't want to vote yes for fear of their safety and the safety of their families.

It's hard to argue that isn't something they should be concerned with, but you can imagine them talking to reporters specifically to help provide some cover for their votes.

Apparently with 10 defections and 4 abstentions, this is the most bipartisan impeachment in US history. Which is...gross.
