Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced that he is recommending the state's primaries, which are scheduled to take place on Tuesday, be postponed until June to protect voters from the coronavirus pandemic.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/earn-it-bill-governments-not-so-secret-plan-scan-every-message-online

Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle such messages wouldn’t be allowed to securely encrypt them, or they’d lose legal protections that allow them to operate.

That’s what the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed and hopes to pass into law. The so-called EARN IT bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn’t follow a list of “best practices,” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy. The “best practices” list will be created by a government commission, headed by Attorney General Barr, who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption, and guarantee law enforcement “legal access” to any digital message.

The EARN IT bill had its first hearing today, and its supporters’ strategy is clear. Because they didn’t put the word “encryption” in the bill, they’re going to insist it doesn’t affect encryption.

“This bill says nothing about encryption,” co-sponsor Sen. Blumenthal said at today’s hearing. “Have you found a word in this bill about encryption?” he asked one witness.

It’s true that the bill’s authors avoided using that word. But they did propose legislation that enables an all-out assault on encryption. It would create a 19-person commission that’s completely controlled by the Attorney General and law enforcement agencies. And, at the hearing, a Vice-President at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) made it clear [PDF] what he wants the best practices to be. NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC; and be held legally responsible for the content of messages sent by others.

You can’t have an Internet where messages are screened en masse, and also have end-to-end encryption any more than you can create backdoors that can only be used by the good guys. The two are mutually exclusive. Concepts like “client-side scanning” aren’t a clever route around this; such scanning is just another way to break end-to-end encryption. Either the message remains private to everyone but its recipients, or it’s available to others.

The 19-person draft commission isn’t any better than the 15-person commission envisioned in an early draft of the bill. It’s completely dominated by law enforcement and allied groups like NCMEC. Not only will those groups have a majority of votes on the commission, but the bill gives Attorney General Barr the power to veto or approve the list of best practices. Even if other commission members do disagree with law enforcement, Barr’s veto power will put him in a position to strongarm them.

The Commission won’t be a body that seriously considers policy; it will be a vehicle for creating a law enforcement wish list. Barr has made clear, over and over again, that breaking encryption is at the top of that wish list. Once it’s broken, authoritarian regimes around the world will rejoice, as they have the ability to add their own types of mandatory scanning, not just for child sexual abuse material but for self-expression that those governments want to suppress.

The privacy and security of all users will suffer if U.S. law enforcement is able to achieve its dream of breaking encryption. Senators should reject the EARN IT bill.

Can we please keep the Bernie primaries and delay the Biden primaries please and thanks?

[Nintex]

So you want my numbers to be even higher? That’s a great idea, James. More old people can get out and vote as the virus is dealt with and treated.

How about we built a website Joe and allow old people to vote from the safety and comfort of their homes.

[Nintex]

Older people don’t know how to go online. I also don’t want the Putin-Sanders coalition meddling in my victory.

I know, how about we set-up a voting bus that visits the old folks where they live and a nice nurse will help them vote for the right person.

This fact check from January is pretty hilarious, because Biden tried to get Sanders on "adjustments" last night.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/01/biden-vs-sanders-on-social-security-and-medicare/

The Biden campaign insists that’s not what Biden meant by “adjustments.” Rather, the campaign said, Biden was “referring to his plan to raise taxes on high earners and increase benefits, as outlined in the plan he rolled out during this campaign.”

We’ll leave it up to readers to interpret Biden’s “adjustments” remark.

I think you misunderstand me watching Tucker.

For me, he's like a car wreck: I can't look away.

I know he's a fascist.

I know he co-opts left talking points to get people on the left transition to the right and make him appear to care about commonnpeople.

I know his game.

Yet I can't look away.

Even the person in the comment you posted can't look away. They even admit Tucker is "right about some things" despite acknowledging he hates immigrants. And that's the rub. Even you can't look away. Tucker fascinates as much as he horrifies.

I truly think he is a symptom of taking advantage of the fact that opinions that consider the concerns of everyday Americans are represented so seldom in mainstream cable news that people are willing to look at a flaming car crash just to have their views represented even if the voice hates immigrants.

I truly envision Tucker's conservatism to be the future of the republican party as it tries to become the new party of the working class and that frightens me.

And yet ..*raises index finger* I can't look away.

pre-Dobbs lady on Fox Business was upset that nobody is doing anything to China even though the virus seems to be TARGETING OUR ALLIES and yet the WHO is letting them get away with it and helping China too

[benjipwns]

this guy sounds like some kind of commie:

“He effectively called for open borders — no deportations — and has already raised his hand for taxpayer-funded health care for illegals,” Scott Jennings, a former political aide in the George W. Bush White House, said of Biden’s leftward drift. “So, at the same time he’s called for a ban on fracking, he’s opening up America to a flood of illegal immigration. I’m sure this will fly in Pennsylvania and the rest of the upper Midwest. This issue — not to mention the tax increases to pay for abortions — will hurt badly in rural areas and in the big Senate races.”

A Trump campaign aide told POLITICO on Monday that Biden had “openly declared war” on traditional energy sources, effectively pledging “a death sentence for the oil and natural gas industries.”

Biden called for an end to new fracking (his staff later clarified he only meant on federal land). He said he’d endeavor to take millions of cars off the road, convert gas-powered fleets to clean-burning and end drilling on federal lands. He’d haul the world’s 100 biggest polluters before the U.S. in his first 100 days and make them pay an economic price. He’d convene the hemisphere to provide tens of billions for Brazil to stop burning the Amazon.

And that was on the environment alone.

From immigration to social issues to health care, Republicans insist Biden is harming himself in battleground states where his appeal to centrist Democrats has long been viewed as an unmitigated asset.

In a statement following the debate, Trump’s campaign even tried to yoke Biden to Sanders on health care, arguing that both offer “a complete government takeover” of the system.

Trump’s campaign has focused intently on Biden’s environmental and immigration remarks.

“Fossil fuel industries employ 10 million Americans and he would yank the jobs out from under all of them. His plan would also drive heating and cooling bills through the roof,” said Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for Trump’s reelection campaign.

Murtaugh said Biden’s plan to halt deportations would leave enormous numbers of other criminals in the U.S. who continue to pose a threat to public safety. And Biden’s position on locals not cooperating with federal immigration officials would “effectively turn the entire United States into a sanctuary country and tell the world that our borders are open,” he said.

In a Monday email, America Rising, the Republican opposition outfit, cited a Wall Street Journal infographic that tallied up Biden’s agenda as costing more than twice as much as Clinton’s, with his proposed taxes totaling three times as much as the Democratic nominee four years ago. The message: Biden and Sanders “will be virtually indistinguishable.”

“As we have said over and over, the eventual Democrat candidate will have to adopt the agenda of the extreme left in order to become the nominee in the first place, and Joe Biden proved that last night,” Murtaugh added.

I'm pretty far left but I don't really understand why it's become "racist" and politicized to point out the fact that this virus emerged from a marketplace in China where bushmeat is sold in spite of repeated warnings from the international community that this practice needs to end. The Chinese government absolutely owns a large degree of responsibility for this pandemic for this reason and for the fact they were slow to react and went to great lengths to cover it up in the early days.

The Netflix 'Pandemic' documentary literally opens with a scientist visiting a wet market in China, talking about how they are some of the riskiest places in the world in terms of becoming flashpoints for outbreaks.

Same reason American liberals got a lot more reticent to make a fuss about, for example, gender rights in majority-Muslim countries after the Iraq War.

When people like Tom Cotton are making it a point to preface every mention of the virus with "Chinese" it's pretty easy to see what the game is and where it could lead us.

[ToxicAdam]

To be fair to China, if this outbreak happened in America or Russia, I’m not positive the response would’ve been quick either. There’s a natural inclination to drag your feet because you don’t want to upset the status quo.

[ToxicAdam]

That’s what I was hinting at. Cultural and political aspects of our society are in place that leads me to believe we wouldn’t have done much better than China. We just would’ve been more open and reliable about information.

Place of origin is fair to mention.
But it runs deeper than that, watch Tucker of course to see what I mean clearly. The intent is far more than geographical nitpicking.

[BisMarckie]

It's not even modern practice to name things by their origin anymore. When's the last time a new illness was named that way? Spanish Flu? West Nile? We didn't call Ebola the Congolese Crapper.

The effort to call it the Chinese Virus probably, at least partially, stems from the pissing match China and the US are in right now with China blaming the US for the virus.
