Facebook Follies of Friends and Families

I've missed this 

[Syt]

So A Bill, To ALLOW FAMILIES TO REMAIN TOGETHER, which is what the Democrats have hounded Trump over the last few weeks, with Fake Media Stories, was just struck down BY ALL THE DEMOCRATS...... all 190 of them... let that simmer a moment

My sister reposted this post by ... *looks up poster* ... a dude. Something tells me there were maybe other things in the bill that made the Dems reject this, like, oh, 25 billion for a wall, or curbs on legal immigration.

[Valmy]

Actually the bill would have passed easily if the Republicans had all voted for it

Ah well.

Ok I looked up that bill. It is pretty huge in its scope.

Among other things it orders DHS to take over the southern border and monitor the social media activities of all visa applicants. That seems to me to further justify my decision to not use social media so I cannot be monitored. But it may be too late for me. I don't know how normal this sort of monitoring is.

There are probably a zillion people that get US VISAs. This seems like a massive use of resources.

Do you really have anything to worry about? I know this is not the social libertarian angle to take, but my attitude is that if people want to go through my stuff/life, I'm pretty boring--they won't find anything anyway.

I can get pretty fiery sometimes and say stupid shit I shouldn't say and, for example, the whole GamerGate thing blew up on twitter a couple years ago and for awhile, not really knowing what was going on, I was talking to people about that on there. I don't know what sort of shit might upset my political masters here in the state government or whatever entity I may need something from in the future. If I am being monitored best not to have anything out there for somebody to find. Especially since this is just for shits and giggles.

Yep, it is something a lot of employers now do as part of their due diligence

I noticed Louis Gohmert voted against the bill. Interesting. Did it not go far enough for him?

[Admiral Yi]

Right-winning does make one good point: there's something about Trump's piety that just gets under my skin.

40% of our country is clinically insane.

[Eddie Teach]

He's an orange opportunist secularist, 0 for 3.

One of the things that never cease to amaze me is that despite falling for fake news at a rate of 10:1 to liberals, conservatives never lose confidence enough to stop "educating" the liberals.

[garbon]

Also, aren't liberals the ones more likely to care about those kids with parents in prison?

[Valmy]

I don't get it. Liberals complain about mass incarceration all the time. And what the media for that matter.

I know. I am so confused.

But maybe Syt's sister can explain.
