Open Invitation to Donald Trump to Try New Platform

PostAlmostAnything.com — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 16:13:02 -08:00

We are extending an open invitation to President Donald Trump to try our new platform because Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) protects our right to let people like Trump post almost anything. As providers of interactive computer services Twitter and Facebook were not responsible for anything Donald Trump said on their platforms. We are also a provider of an interactive computer service and we welcome all views including his. One of the reasons for developing Post Almost Anything is to provide people with an alternative to popular platforms like the ones that have banned Trump. We believe that it is not our job to police what people say on our platform and that means people like Trump can use our platform for anything unless we become aware that it violates the law and decide that doing something about it is worth our time. We have said before that Trump may have been right when he spoke of the treat to free speech that Twitter and Facebook present due to their censorship, but we always maintained that his attack on the CDA was not the right way to go about fighting that. That is why we did not vote for him. The right way to fight that would be to pursue legislation that would prohibit social media companies with large market shares from censoring lawful speech on their platforms. It would involve classifying social media monopolies as a type of public good and saying that prohibiting politically motivated censorship is necessary to protect the First Amendment rights of the people. There was a time when tech giants did not control most online communications. Those days were before the markets became dominated by Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Those companies took power by providing people with useful platforms that they thought were better than others. Once they put the others out of business they abused their power to create an Orwellian surveillance state where they have final say on what can or cannot be said. They is a bigger threat to America than Donald Trump.

United States Army Hiring Alcohol Abuse Counselors

DayLaborNews — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 14:00:11 -07:00

The United States Army is hiring alcohol abuse counselors to make sure soldiers have the support they need to stop drinking whenever they want to and give them proper motivation to want to stop drinking. This recent surge in alcohol support personnel is due to a substantial increase in alcohol abuse by American soldiers since Barack Obama took office. The majority of new US Army alcohol abuse related incidents have been traced to troops who Obama pulled out of Iraq. These soldiers have had trouble adjusting to life in a better country where freedom from Islam allows them to drink freely without being afraid of getting caught with booze smuggled to them through the mail by their fraternity brothers who cleverly disguised grain alcohol as legitimate non-alcoholic liquid based consumer products. This terrible tragedy could have easily been avoided if Obama had taken a history class or two about how the Spaniards conquered most of the new world and applied those lessons to managing Iraq. Unlike Obama the Spaniards knew how to make the uncivilized societies they encountered improve themselves by learning their language, adapting better customs (that include drinking alcohol), and making productive use of the women to make sure that future generations would always view their liberators in a fatherly way.
