The bad news is that the Biden administration’s notorious Disinformation Governance Board, a flagrantly unconstitutional effort to restrict the freedom of speech that was “paused” in May after an avalanche of criticism, is back (although its Orwellian name is still on ice). The good news is that heading up Biden’s handlers’ new foray into authoritarianism is none other than Vice President Kamala Harris. This is good news because Harris has handled the previous jobs she has been given with spectacular ineptitude. If she stays true to form this time, she may end up actually strengthening speech protections, rather than destroying them as she has been tasked to do.
The new incarnation of the Disinformation Governance Board, announced Thursday, will, according to the New York Post, be focused on “developing programs and policies” that will protect “political figures” from “disinformation,” “abuse” and “harassment.” This is already treading dangerous ground in terms of the First Amendment, as “abuse” and “harassment,” to say nothing of “disinformation,” are subjective terms. What is to prevent the person who is charged with judging what constitutes them — Kamala Harris, evidently — from considering sharp criticism, or even any criticism at all, no matter how accurate or justified, to be abuse or harassment?

Well, between he and Trump, the white suprema-cyst movement is pressing forward.
Remember room 101 is always there.
Fortunately, Kamala’s incompetence is likely to override any desires she may have to punish the DNC’s political enemies. Barack was right when he said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.” Choosing Kamala Harris as his VP is living proof of that. She may be the only person in any room who is more stupid than Joe himself.
She can go back to watching paint dry
“fweedumb”!
She’s not cool, she’s a big stoner!

It’s not Harris you have to worry about. It’s the evil vermin who will run that sham.
IF I remember correctly, Michael Chertoff was tapped to run this. If so, can I criticize my former high school classmate for being involved in this free speech sham?
Pervert.
What are the odds that she could actually censor herself by censoring disinformation and not the opposite of disinformation (as intended).
They just can’t find a place for Kamala and neither can she....I chuckle at that.
She’d be further ahead sitting on a park bench.
