New ‘social’ security vow by tech bigs

But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.”

This is white America’s greatest problem: wanting to look at history with shameless denial of what Paul Harvey used to say was “the rest of the story.”

There was nothing honorable about Robert E. Lee. He was a domestic terrorist. He had the option to fight for the Union Army, but chose to fight with the Confederates.

His love of state? Sorry, John, but you sound like you are describing an ISIS fighter. Both of them, John, are terrorists.

Second, this silliness over describing “men and women of good faith on both sides” sounds eerily like the BS Donald Trump peddled after the deadly Charlottesville white supremacist protest.

John, in 1861, not everyone was a product of their time. There were white abolitionists who didn’t believe in slavery. They were the true men and women of good faith who didn’t use the Bible as an act of tyranny.

But it’s this Kelly compromise nonsense, which Trump previously said, that is most bothersome.

Did Kelly ever bother to read how the U.S. Constitution came about? That entire document was a compromise between the North and the South over slavery. The famous three-fifths compromise? Well, that explains WASHINGTON— As revelations emerged that Russian-linked accounts reached many more American voters than previously thought, tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google on Tuesday defended their security measures and promised a Senate subcommittee they would do more to stop the misuse of their platforms by a foreign nation.

Facebook data obtained by The Associated Press revealed that posts generated by a Russian internet agency potentially reached as many as 126 million users. The company said pages created by Russia’s Internet Research Agency generated 80,000 posts on 120 pages between January 2015 and August 2017.

The ads — many of which focused on divisive social issues — pointed people to the agency’s pages.

Twitter told the same subcommittee that it has uncovered and shut down 2,752 accounts linked to Russia’s Internet Research Agency, which is known for promoting pro-Russian government positions. That number is nearly 14 times larger than the number of accounts Twitter handed over to congressional committees three weeks ago. Google said it found evidence of “limited” misuse of its services by the Russian group.
