I'll just assume that there's no actual doxing, for the sake of argument. As far as I'm aware, this conversation during Biden's term, stopped with "private businesses can do whatever they want". There was much prancing around misconceptions of free speech. As it happens, Bondi wants to brag about outreach, where the Biden admin kept it under wraps. I'm not a fan of government leaning on social media sites to moderate content, but I'm sure there's a legal and ethical conversation to be had when these social media groups are being used to organize efforts to harass law enforcement and make it more difficult for them to do their jobs.

harass law enforcement and make it more difficult for them to do their jobsspread misinformation that can result in increased deaths in real human beings.Agreed but I’d still prefer they respect the platform’s independence even if the stakes are material.

Since when did it become OK for law enforcement to wear masks?
I was only joking

You’re all off base completely there’s no fraud there will be no discovery this will get tossed.
Long before the free speech crowd threatened to investigate her for her speech, Nate Silver was giving pundits a hard time for criticizing her so harshly. He wants outlier polls to be published and wants pollsters to have the courage to publish their true results and not sit on them if they’re not in line with everyone else’s. That sort of censorship doesn’t lead to a good result.

Mask. No ID, no warrant, honestly no idea if it’s just a Halloween costume. But GET IN MY CAR.

I'm genuinely surprised that more conservatives aren't horrified by this. The ends justify the means, I guess.

Why does he refer to himself in the 3rd person, including his employment title and his middle initial, are there other Donald Trumps out there we need to not be confused about? And back to this issue... I remember as a younger adult in the 2000s how I was a GWB fan and how the media was nearly unanimous in their critiquing of Bush, his policies, his speaking blunders... oh how nice the left had it, they didn't even realize how much worse it could get.

That's what people whose identity is tied up in being famous often do. It means they read a lot of press about themselves, and begin to adopt the language of the people who write and talk about them.

Possibly, although more often than not it’s an attention getting device employed by people, usually males, who are incorrigibly full of themselves.

The fact that they’re full of themselves is a given in any case. The most famous example of the third person self reference was Deion Sanders. He may have all but invented the practice.

You know, it makes sense why Trump went to such lengths to lie about losing the 2020 election. This is a man who you could argue cares about nothing in the world other than people liking him (usually via ratings or crowdsize). I'd imagine there's a childhood trauma behind it... like Rosebud, except instead of a (spoiler alert) sled it's his parents not liking him. Anyway... so then throw in the mother of all popularity/rating contests (a national election) and when he loses in a landslide, it's unfathomable to him.
