No thanks. Allowing the government to determine what is misinformation and what isn’t is a very, very bad idea.

The American government has always done this. Ever hear of VOA or the White House press pool?

Here is your head of combating disinformation:

She seems totally stable and unbiased (sarc)

Glad you support her and the Biden administration, remember to own your support of them.

Remember to own your support of Russia and Putin (but I know that people like you never do).

America is still a free country and a liberal (in the classic sense) democracy and Russia is not. Navigator is right: America's Constitution and political institutions were designed to endure leftist shenanigans and worse. America will survive.

If you are in America, then enjoy the free society that you so hate. If you are in Russia, remember this: You would be arrested and possibly even killed if you openly disagreed with Putin. Remember that.

Most likely I have read about is Thyroid cancer. I do not know much at all about this, and don't know what its effects, or the effect of its treatment would be.

But I do know that someone like Putin is incredibly focused on leaving his "mark" on the world, and in this case, its restoring Russia to its "greatness" (as he sees it). If he thinks he doesnt have much time, he will move towards doing more radical and aggressive things.
This sounds like a brief from a few years ago. Open-source video analysis. Plausible, but I bet it is only conjectured unless somebody can get hold of his medical history documents and an autopsy is conducted. I dealt with family members who suffered from Parkinson's and dementia. It is pretty scary and makes you think of your morality.

I was talking with my uncle who is 88 and served in the USAF during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He found it a bit funny that Putin is having a “hissy fit” about America and NATO sending weapons to Ukraine. He told me about the pilots that he worked with flying against Migs with “North Korean” pilots, that were Russians and Chinese. He said the American pilots did not care, that they wanted to fly against and shoot down the best that the “commies” had. He said they were concerned at first about the Russian SAMs in North Vietnam, but he said the USAF “got their numbers and figure out how to make them hurt. Putin did not think this through like the old Russian chess players. He is a punk from the Soviet times.” Got to hand it to an old-timer to tell it how it is.

Like the January 6 protesters, they’re being treated fairly as they rot in jail right?

You break the law, you are charged with a crime, and you go to trial. I used to work in a court house. That was how it worked when I was there. Pre-trial detention was the norm. Prison overcrowding meant people, yet to be convicted of anything, were kept in overcrowded cells. And some did far less than storm the Capital.

If you stormed the Kremlin in Russia, you would have been tortured to death by now.

P.S. Russia has lost at least 28,00o troops in Ukraine. 50,000-70,000 have been wounded.

Have a nice day.

You’re the worst kind of person, you’re told what to think and do as you’re told. These posts have been revealing. You want the government to police speech on the internet because friends and family of yours refused to take a vaccine. What if in a perfect world of no “disinformation” they continued to choose not to, should the be forced by the government? You probably idolize Xi and China’s COVID response of welding people’s apartment doors and letting them starve. Here’s some more of your “disinformation chief” supports:

https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1 ... 4B3eQVXnUA

Denies that biological women are only capable of giving birth
States the internet was built for “cisgender white men”

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022 ... candidate/

American elections need “single unifying candidate.”

Pushes the lie of Russia supporting Trump

https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/7 ... A7g0N99FKw

Denied Hunter Biden’s laptop story

https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1 ... 9zHGKmLI0g

She openly supports banning opposing (conservative) news

https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1 ... rfqZPIUFgg

So back to you, are you some leftist Marxist (ala the Soviet Marxist) or are you some Casper Milquetoast character who wants big daddy government to govern in some hardcore left-
fascist State like China with government run news, propaganda and social credit scores? You keep bringing up this imaginary Russian support straw man to try and discredit me but it just shows what you really are. You’re actively supporting the expansion of the surveillance state and the policing/silencing of free speech. But according to you it’s okay because “COVID misinformation made my friends and family not take the vaccine.”

We may be starting to see the market meltdown that would come before a major economic downturn.

As I understand it, most of the stock market gains since the last major hiccup (2008) were in the FAANG stocks (plus probably Tesla). FAANG being Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google.

Netflix is down almost 70% YTD. Amazon got hammered, Facebook had been down as much as 50% YTD, (now just over 40), Apple is down some, and Google is down a bit more than 20%. (Tesla down about 25%, but given what's going on with Musk, this could also go down suddenly).

Once panic starts in a speculative market, it will not be possible to stop it. Especially not given current economic conditions, levels of debt, and current political/fed leadership.
