Air tight provisions, what could possibly go wrong?

@sunsporter1649 I get it. You don't want mere peasants voting. No surprise the right wing came out of the monarchist movement.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
(a) Requiring States To Establish and Operate Automatic
Registration System.--
(1) In general.--The chief State election official of each
State shall establish and operate a system of automatic
registration for the registration of eligible individuals to

(2) Definition.--The term ``automatic registration'' means
a system that registers an individual to vote in elections for
Federal office in a State, if eligible, by electronically
transferring the information necessary for registration from
government agencies to election officials of the State so that,
unless the individual affirmatively declines to be registered,
the individual will be registered to vote in such elections.

Air tight, right?

@soar2newhighs Like hunter biden?

@HoraceGreenley [quote]I love the Left[/quote]
What has this to do with a photograph of an extreme right-wing reactionary leader?

@CorvusBlackthorne Censorship

@Crazywaterspring they do.

@Carla Both are owned by AT&T. It is called killing a failed product.

@sunsporter1649 Your ignorance and lack of education is not my responsibility.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Do not blame @sunsporter1649. He is clearly suffering from cranial trauma.

@ididntknow I feel no need to answer your tu quoque fallacy. If you cannot focus on the topic at hand without distracting with a dramatic "J'accuse!" then you have no argument.

@sunsporter1649 Somehow I sense a conspiracy theory here. Lemme guess - George Soros?

Let me remind you that Direct TV broadcasts from satellites. Not the internet. Satellites. Ready to admit you're wrong about net neutrality??

@ElwoodBlues Read it again.

""Critical Information Needs Study (CIN), which as part of its conclusions, required researchers to enter newsrooms and inquire about how editorial decisions were made. The study was to include print media over which the FCC has no jurisdiction." "

@sunsporter1649 I read the words again. Now answer my question: DirectTV selects and sells various TV products that they beam down from satellites they own. Are they or are they not free to choose what products to sell?

[b]!! UPDATE !![/b]
Two weeks later, and ol' sporty [i]still[/i] hasn't figured out whether or not DirectTV is free to choose what products to sell, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@Budwick 90%? Okay. Not a 90% reduction in viewership based on highly viewed big news stories? Yes bud. A reduction based on viewership during highly watched stories.
Get your story straight or no one will take you seriously.

Right...sponsors bring revenue. Programming brings sponsors. Bad programming, poor return from sponsors.
Spin that bud.

@Carla CNN has seen its viewership nosedive by a staggering 90 percent both overall and in the critical demographics. That's a common news story - quoted word for word. Try to keep up - you are already not taken seriously. You are what we call an agitator.

@Carla

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I only see one of two possibilities

1- she gets suicided before testimony
2- her testimony gets twisted by marxist media to suit their narrative, then gets suicided

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Sources now saying that two new prison guards have been hired to watch over Ms. Maxwell. Names not revealed but they have a striking resemblance to Bill and Hillary Clinton. 🤔

@Subsumedpat the irony.. alex lizard ppl jones has more cred then the entire lame stream media..

@Subsumedpat you can still watch CNN and get all the propaganda you need

@LeopoldBloom Enjoying your new neighbors?

@sunsporter1649 Enjoying yours?

@LeopoldBloom

@sunsporter1649

Would you care to discuss talk radio shows?

Because the Fairness Doctrine you want to re-implement would apply there as well.

@beckyromero LOL, every time you left-wing nut job put anything on radio it fails miserable

@sunsporter1649

Part of the problem is that talk radio tends to veer to the extremes, just as political activism tends to be.

@sunsporter1649 As difficult as it is to imagine, possibly those people running the company understand more about it than you do..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Let me get this straight: Chevrolet sells 90% less automobiles one year and GM keeps making Chevrolets?

@sunsporter1649 I dont have those figures. But its quite possible. GM doesnt just make Chevies. GM is global. a quarter of a Chevy content is Chinese anyway and there is next years model. PLUS How did everyone else do? There are a lot of factors. Note the lead time on a new model can be 5 years.😷

@sunsporter1649 Reuters reported in October 2021 that Robert Herring Sr. testified in court that the network was created at the urging of executives of AT&T, which through its subsidiary DirecTV has since been the source of up to 90% of the network's revenues

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow And that from a left-wing nut-job islamo-nazi marxist supporting the failed socialism policies he so adores

@sunsporter1649 Actually, this comes from court statements, statements by the owner and publicly available facts.

I am sorry that doesn't fit your victim complex.

@RodionRomanovitch GETTR, rumble, locals, butchute, Parler, telegram, DLive, They must be so pissed off, and of course truth social, coming in February, it must piss them off so much,

@SW-User Only one voice permitted.....

@sunsporter1649 Cool phrase, man

@SW-User he keeps repeating himself, yet he's always posting cartoons about Biden having a blank thought bubble

The irony... Lol

@sunsporter1649 that's what Comrad Biden wants. Let's go Brandon. Trump 2024. Free America.

@sunsporter1649 If it paid money to keep them, they would. And they know in advance how much it will cost them in lost subs. Thats what the decision was made on.

@whowasthatmaskedman Only one voice permitted....

@Human1000

@DeluxedEdition Actually, I will use this to negotiate a lower price. Threaten to cancel and go to DISH and they will offer all kinds of perks. Also part of the free market.

@sunsporter1649 DirectTV selects and sells various TV products that they beam down from satellites they own. Are they or are they not free to choose what products to sell?

@ElwoodBlues "This happened after Biden came out and said misinformation needs to be stopped and urged big tech to stop all the misinformation."

Strange coincidence.....

@sunsporter1649 You keep ducking the question. Is directTV free to choose what products to beam down from the satellites they own? Yes or no???

@Barefooter25 so glad they are losing money

@ididntknow Funny coincidence, is it not?

@sunsporter1649 This kind of stuff, is so obvious now, if people don’t wake up now, they never ever will

@soar2newhighs it’s not in fighting, Biden said come you guys, stop the misinformation, and hey presto
