The Confederacy of Donald J. Trump: A Confederacy of Dunces

@Marksman

Repealing 230 does nothing to change this other than a lot more people will be banned.

I am starting to think our president is dum.

Serious question, if MItch ties 230 repeal with $2,000 stimulus checks… Do we care? Like, does 230 repeal really hurt regular people or just giant tech companies? Shouldn’t dems still vote for it?

@m_reed05

This has to be fake right? Or someone got ahold of the walmart twitter and is probably fired now?

No way that’s a real and intentional tweet from Walmart. Edit: Also seems unlikely that actual walmart account tweets from an iPhone.

[m_reed05]

I agree. So then the question is did Hawley fake this for attention, or did Walmart’s twitter get got? I assume the latter.

Hawley’s really going to town on it though, you’d think he’d realize it’s fake:

What does a Section 230 repeal look like?

@Vict0ar suggested that this needed to be peeled off from the Bailout/Stimulus thread. I agree that there is enough potential discussion for this topic to merit its own thread. For those who are unaware, Section 230 is part of the Communications Decency Act passed in 1996. The most relevant part is subsection (c) (c)Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material (1)Treatment of publisher or speaker No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall …

I thought Hawley was a free market guy?

[mosdef]

Yeah but the Dems are leaving themselves vulnerable to attacks from the left.

@mosdef

Massive face turn by Walmart is impossible but would be hilarious.

the replies to that tweet are fucking infuriating, “I want the economy opened up” well dipshit, there’s basically zero restrictions in most of the country, and even in the places there are restrictions nobody is enforcing them, the reason the economy is “closed” isn’t repressive marxists trying to oppress you, it’s because dumb motherfuckers won’t follow the recommended precautions and the virus is out of fucking control

[Chippa58]

Yeah. I thought paying workers pathetic wages was part of Republican orthodoxy.

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

It’s not the real Walmart account. That’s @WalmartInc:

Its Republican orthodox policy but its not orthodox rhetoric.

@goofyballer

“Social media manager at Walmart tweeted from the wrong account and is about to be fired” seems like the overwhelming favorite here

No, given that Hawley tweeted at a screenshot and not at the actual tweet… Kind of looks like Hawley manufactured this whole thing.

[anon10396289]

The blue check @Walmart account isn’t a real Walmart account? Seems like a pretty big oversight by Walmart.

Sounds like that person needs to take their talents to Wendy’s social media team instead of Walmart.

[Marksman]

There is a guy on TikTok who trolls the crap out of people with fake corporate Facebook pages on stuff like this but this is Twitter and that looks verified.

I am sure someone will be fired, but they shouldn’t. They were just speaking the truth.

Josh Hawley (HawleyMO)

Or maybe you’d like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business

Good to see republicans are coming around on a living wage…
