Think of everything this requests exposes. They are DEMANDING the right to censor speech and control the internet.

defense of “democracy” as trumping American citizens’ constitutionally protected rights.

You could further defend democracy by cancelling the 2024 elections and removing the threat to democracy posed by giving people a choice as to who their elected officals are. [brain going into lockup from the cognative dissonance of writing that sentence].

So we went from the government saying they don’t do this to them now filing for protection to do it.

How much more corrupt can it get.

So much news to censor, the Biden Administration doesn’t want any more cats out of the bag for the public to see.

CONTROL that speech Joey B.

While you can.

In the emergency stay, the government contended that the injunction was vague and that the attorney generals could not show harm from the censorship, an argument that Judge Terry Doughty had rejected multiple times in the past.

Sounds like fear to me.

You know, they say they’re fighting mis-information. But yet you can go on social media and find ALL SORTS of posts about the Earth being flat.

Our government sues to keep U.S.citizens off of social media yet they invite millions of illegals into our country. What is wrong with this picture?

I guess not - more ignorance on a thread:

Here’s the notice of appeal:

Come on people, do better.

That is so strange. Before this decision came down, i could have sworn the Biden administration said they didn’t censor anybody.

The Evil ones are the enemy that America has lost, due to fraud, to.
America is over never to be recovered.
You will realize it after the 2024 elections.

Why would I waste time reading 41 pages of commie lawyer ‘splaining?

Here’s some:

“As we now know better than ever, smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke contribute to significant and lasting
health issues.”

Do we know that about second-hand smoke? That’s what the ‘tards say, but do we? The ‘tards sure aren’t worried about second-hand weed smoke.

Those s-bag lawyers go pretty heavy patting each other on their ass about forcing the “vax” on people too.

Yeah, I can tell these clowns need to sod off from 40,000 feet. No need to get into the weeds.

You told us to.

So I took you up on your challenge and found it to be the waste of time everyone else correctly identified it as.

Do better Fury. You used to be better than this.

LOL!

Whatever. At least you read it, so that’s encouraging.

And do better? I’m trying!

I don’t have any social media accounts, but I would bet a months pay you could go on and find lots of posts telling you how HONEST the government is!

This is unbelievable. I just can’t believe that the federal government is pleading to be able to censor our free speech.
