Is the new Disinformation Governance Board constitutional? (Poll)

[busybee01]

Presidential candidates have been meeting with "Russian Agents" for decades, they all do it.

There ambassadorial staff is always filled with spies.

No collusion or any other crime was found on the part or Trump or anyone in his family in the Mueller investigation.

And turning over campaign information. I doubt that.

Mueller clearly stated that Trump was not exonerated. Justice Department guidelines state a sitting President cannot be indicted.

Hmmm...

if the power is in the executive to create such a board to explore how foreign entities try to influence our election....isn't it/wasn't it "already in the hands" of such people?

It certainly is now.,

Speech is speech whether you like it or not, whether it's accurate or not, and unless it directly harms someone it is protected under the 1st Amendment.

The government has every right to counter fake news with facts.

Please link to the material by which you draw that conclusion that the govenment will be "endorsing" and "telling the public what politics they are allowed to believe."

Sure. Take a look.

That is a hypothesis that will lead us to debating existential import and a-priori truths. If the states have the power to legalize abortion, and the people are in control of the state politicians, does that mean that a legal abortion is in the power of the people of Mississippi?

The thing that matters most for we the people to emphatically reject this entire idea. Because if we complacently acquiesce to it now, we will have no choice but accept abuses of it later.

You really are a idiot. Misinformation is a existential threat to this country. The government has every right to put out the facts. That abuses nothing.

More idiocy.

Polling data is not classified intel, it can be shared with anyone foreign or a US national.

Nobody is "exonerated" except at trial.

Mueller found zero evidence of collision and could not find any other crime to charge in 2 years of investigating.

The government has every right to counter fake news with facts.

It is up to The People to determine what "facts" are, not the government.

 

[busybee01]

And by attempting to do that, the government will be casting judgments on what is the truth, and what is not. In acting against a piece of disinformation, the government will be endorsing certain political beliefs, in much the same way that the mere presence of a statue can effectively serve as a government endorsement of a certain religion.

And when the government starts endorsing telling the public what politics they are allowed to believe, tyranny happens.

Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Putting out facts is endorsing nothing.

Can you cite the line in The Constitution that grans such power and authority to the Federal Gov't?

Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Putting out facts is endorsing nothing.

You mean like Myorkis' claim that the border is secure?

The gov't get's to put out it's version of "facts", it is not empowered to decide for all of us what is or isn't factual.

 

[busybee01]

Man that's rich. You speak nothing but bumper sticker talking points and never produce actual facts to support your claims.

Your declaring facts are not facts does not make it so. You have yet to produce one fact. You Nazis are using misinformation to complain about misinformation.

 

[GLASNOST]

The US is supposed have a "free press". The press are supposed to be publishers of truth.

I missed the part in the US Constitution where the Federal Government was given the Power to control "The Truth".

So I'm questioning the constitutionality of the new "Disinformation Governance Board". Is it constitutional?

No, the press is not supposed to publish the truth. It is supposed to report non-biased. Anyway, the truth seldom reveals itself until long after all the cards have been played. But yes, publishing disinformation is biased, purposely censored, and intentionally lies. Is that constitutionnal? I doubt it.

Name a campaign that gave internal polling data to a enemy spy.

Mueller could not indict a sitting President. You ignore that fact.

 

[Sunsettommy]

No one is monitoring free speech. We are monitoring misinformation which is pretty much everything you say.

The word Republic flew over your flat head.

Maybe you are too stupid to understand that word.

There is no reason for a government to be monitoring free speech in the first place.

 

[busybee01]

You mean like Myorkis' claim that the border is secure?

There is no evidence that it is not.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Your declaring facts are not facts does not make it so. You have yet to produce one fact. You Nazis are using misinformation to complain about misinformation.

There you go again. If you had a valid argument to make you wouldn't have to lie so frequently.

Wanting a secure border does not make us Nazis. Pointing out that we're being overrun at the border due to this administration's policies does not make us Nazis, pointing out that congressional democrats are adding to the problem doesn't make us Nazis, it simply makes us correct.

It is up to The People to determine what "facts" are, not the government.

The government has free speech rights to put out the truth.
