ECP NetHappenings Archie Bunker is Trump and the GOP

We’ve seen this sitcom before, and it’s not as funny the second time around.

Just think “What would Archie Say”  

Norman Lear wrote and produced  the Bunkers of Queens, New York.

The Genius of Trump

Feelings propel fascism
more than thought does. 

“The GOP DonOld IS Archie Bunker”

ARCHIE AND THE BIBLE

Archie Bunker on Slavery

and the best for last: Archie Bunker explains why cave women had short legs & fat butts.

Donny the QUICKER FUCKER UPPER
TRUMP has 5 kids with 3 different women and cheated on all of them.
HEGSETH has 7 kids from 3 women and cheated on all of them.
MUSK has 12 kids with 3 women and also cheated on all of them.
And these three guys, who’ve faced accusations of rape and sexual abuse,
are out here preaching about family values? That’s the real hypocrisy.

Archie’s last appearance
The last scene in which Archie Bunker ever appears comes in the episode, I’m Torn Here (season 4, episode 24; airdate April 4, 1983). He is at the bar with bartender Harry Snowden and regular patron Mr. Van Ranseleer, recounting a dream he had:

Archie: “So, at the end of the dream, the president [Reagan] ushers me right into the Oval Office.”

Mr. Van R: “What happened?”

Archie: “Well, sitting around on the floor is the 20 mules from the Death Valley Days.”

Mr. Van R: “Sounds like his Cabinet.”

Archie: “Jeez, I guess that’s who they was because one of ’em takes off his nosebag — and it’s [then-vice president] George Bush! And he says the way to tame El Salvador is to make the damn place into the 49th state.”

Mr. Van R: “Was there any music in this dream?”

Archie: “No, but there was a toilet flush. That’s what woke me up.”

Sources report Frump requested Monday’s inauguration be moved indoors due to low public interest, fearing another small crowd would damage his “big crowd” image. Also… It’s Martin Luther King’s Day so we are celebrating that. Trump is not only a convicted felon, he’s also a pathologically insecure, wimpy little baby man.

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning. John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

Nixon used to be considered the worst president in American history and even he kept the flags at half staff to honor the death of President Truman during his second inauguration.
In 1973, the flag flew half-staff at President Richard Nixon’s inauguration to honor President Harry Truman’s recent death. And men in the audience wore top hats and tails.
In other words, Donald Trump is an even worse person than Nixon.

Dimwit Mike Johnson orders all flags be flown at full-staff during the Trump inauguration. They should be at half-staff due to President Carter’s passing.

The perfect choice for Archie / Trump to lead the armed forces
Hegseth “Former” drunk, serial woman abuser, torture advocate, promoter of shooting protesters and invading allied countries, expelled from the
management of a tiny organization for mismanagement, who loudly advocated killing all Muslims while drinking. Oh, but he says he’s
better now, thanks to Jesus. The perfect choice for a psychopath like
Trump to lead the most lethal fighting force on the planet. -L

“ARCHIE” Hegseth suggests he would order protesters shot.

Pete Hegseth is a nightmare.
UTTERLY DISQUALIFYING!!
Pete Hegseth calls the Russian invasion of Crimea “a minor incursion.”
Another Putin stooge!!

“Did you sexually assault a woman?”
Pete Hegseth: “I’m not a perfect person”
Disqualifying. Everyone for Hegseth says he’s ready for this job because he’s a combat vet. Well, we’ve got lots of combat vets who haven’t a background of sexual assault, alcohol abuse and financial mismanagement.
Pete Hegseth fucks up the names of his kids, apologizes that there are a lot (7).
They’ve got some weird ass names.

Democrats should make the next four years of Republican governance as grueling and painful as possible.

Want to hear a sick joke?
Just three men are responsible for the two presidential terms of Donald Trump. Jim Comey and Merrick Garland, and Joe Biden.
A.G. Merrick Garland releases DOJ Report on Hunter Biden HOURS before releasing Jack Smith’s January 6th Report on Donald Trump.
There can be no other reason for this timing than to water down the impact of Jack Smith’s Report and give Fox, etc., ammunition.

Jamie Raskin, Democrats demand Merrick Garland release Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s hoarding of classified documents.
They say the report would explain WHY Trump did it.

“The admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction,” added Smith, who resigned from his position last week.

Jack Smith: “Member of Congress had been secretly engaging with Co-Conspirator 4, who was communicating with Mr. Trump in contravention of policies designed to protect the independence of the Justice Department”
He doesn’t name the Member of Congress

Why was the traitor allowed to run for president again.. and how could that traitor be above the law!!???? Liz Cheney calls out Republicans after the release of the Jack Smith Report:

So this question is now paramount for Republicans:
Will you faithfully perform the duties the framers assigned to you and do what the Constitution requires? Or do you lack the courage?”
She already knows the answer to that question. No, they will NOT “perform the duties the framers assigned to you.”
Liz can acknowledge the Election Fraud that delivered Nixon, Reagan, Bush & Trump Presidencies contrary to The People’s Choice.

Special counsel’s final report says Trump would have been convicted of election interference if he hadn’t won.
Trump would have been convicted of “conspiracy to defraud the United States” and “conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights” if he had not been elected to be president.
The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory.

SAB 121 
This executive order will allow banks to custody #Bitcoin, unlocking massive adoption.
Congress passed it last year, but Biden vetoed it.
This is priority #1.
This completes Saylor’s $5M BTC trifecta:
✅ Spot ETFs approved.
✅ Fair value accounting confirmed.
✅ SAB 121 repeal = banks + Bitcoin.
Sacks and members of the Trump transition team have been
working closely with crypto leaders to finalize a legislative
strategy, and Trump is expected to issue executive orders on
the first day of his presidency that may address issues
including “de-banking” and the repeal of a controversial
crypto accounting policy requiring banks holding digital
assets to count them as liabilities on the bank’s own balance
sheet, according to a person involved with the conversations.

To clarify: It is not illegal for US banks to hold and custody bitcoin.
SAB 121 simply mandates that any Bitcoin the banks hold must be booked as a liability, as opposed to what it is: an asset. This completely disincentivizes them from holding Bitcoin. SAB 121 must be gone!

Outgoing FCC chair rejects high-profile TV petitions as attempt to ‘weaponize’ government

Gigi Sohn@gigibsohn
Does she believe that a broadcast licensee’s character is irrelevant to whether it’s qualified to control the public’s airwaves? That’s contrary to long-held precedent (and yes, it has denied licenses to drug dealers, convicts, etc) and opens the door to felons holding licenses.
In fact, @FCC did deny license renewal for a Mississippi TV and radio station in the 1960’s which refused to cover the civil rights movement and flooded the airwaves with racism. Does @JRosenworcelFCC argue that was the wrong decision?
I agree with @BrendanCarrFCC – the law requires broadcasters to serve the public interest. That’s why the @FCC should send the question of whether Fox’s Philadelphia stations should be renewed to an administrative law judge. Gigi Sohn: Fox’s Lies and the FCC’s Duty to Protect Democracy
For the sake of our democracy, it is time for the Federal Communications Commission to act.

Lost in AI translation: growing reliance on language apps jeopardizes some asylum applications

Excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set up several
contracts with machine translation firms, including Lionbridge
and TransPerfect Translations International Inc. Immigration
officials at Ice have been instructed to use Google Translate to
vet refugee applications. Customs and Border Protection, which is
in charge of border management, has even developed its own app,
CBP Translate, to help communicate with migrants. But the US immigration system has come to rely on these translation tools without fully grasping their limits, said ArielKoren, the founder of Respond Crisis Translation, a network of 2,500 people who provide urgent interpretation services.
“AI translation tools should never be used in a way that is unsupervised. They should never be used to replace translators and interpreters and they should not be used in high-stakes situations — not in any language and especially not for languages that are marginalized,” Koren said.

It’s important to realize that even if you never watch over the air TV, many
people depend on it due to the unavailability of other options in their
locations, or due to cost issues. The broadcasting industry has been
making inane excuses for encryption of free channels, including (get this!)
blaming “deep fake” AI.  This article explains how to comment to the FCC. NOTE that everything entered there become public record, includings names, addresses, etc.

Senate confirms Anna Gomez—fully staffing Biden’s FCC for the first time

The Senate confirmed Anna Gomez to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Thursday, filling the fifth and final seat for the first time since the election of President Joe Biden. Gomez, who was previously serving the State Department as a communications policy adviser, was nominated for the position by Biden in May. Gomez has shown support for reclassifying the internet as Title II, which would label internet service providers as “common carriers.” Such a decision would give the FCC the ability to not only implement net neutrality but enact stricter oversight of the telecom industry.

However, given the time it has taken Biden to staff the FCC, it’s unclear if there is enough working days left to push net neutrality through before the 2024 election.

Business Surveillance vs. COPPA Children’s Online Privacy Protection New Rules

Revised Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule Goes Into Effect 7/1/13

FTC Continues Safe Harbor Programs, Expands Business and Parental Education Efforts

The Federal Trade Commission’s revised Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Rule took effect today, giving parents greater control over the online collection of their children’s personal information. The revised COPPA rule culminates more than two years of review by the agency to modernize the rule.
The revised COPPA rule addresses changes in the way children use and access the Internet, including the increased use of mobile devices and social networking. The modified rule, approved by the Commission in December 2012, widens the definition of children’s personal information to include persistent identifiers such as cookies that track a child’s activity online, as well as geolocation information, photos, videos, and audio recordings.
The COPPA rule was mandated when Congress passed the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. It requires that operators of websites or online services that are either directed to children under 13 or have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13 give notice to parents and get their verifiable consent before collecting, using, or disclosing such personal information, and keep secure the information they collect from children.
LOOPHOLE
To coincide with the amended COPPA rule taking effect, the FTC has also continued five “safe harbor” programs, whose guidelines now reflect the modified rule. Under COPPA, safe harbor status allows certain organizations to create comprehensive self-compliance programs for their members. Companies that participate in a COPPA safe harbor program are generally subject to the review and disciplinary procedures provided in the safe harbor’s guidelines in lieu of formal FTC investigation and law enforcement.

COPPA safe harbor programs are offered by

In other words, the system is in place to make sure the data provided to these companies by customers—including things like your real name, contact information, or date of birth—is treated safely and with respect. “But online privacy protection doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing as anonymity. It’s about making sure that websites collecting personal information from users are doing so not only in accordance with federal regulations but also with best practices for protecting individuals’ personal information online,” Mizrachi explained.

TRUSTe,

and Privo, Inc.
Privacy Vaults Online, Inc., d/b/a PRIVO has created a proprietary technology and services platform that enables participating companies to initiate and manage responsible relationships with their online consumers through an identity and permission management platform. The platform, the PrivoLock™ system, allows consumers, or registrants, to assert and verify their identity, maintain control of their personally identifiable information (PII), edit its content, and extend this privacy protection to their children while providing companies with a legally compliant “opt–in” marketing database for communicating with their customers.

The FTC has also released two new pieces designed to help small businesses that operate child-directed websites, mobile applications and plug-ins ensure they are compliant with upcoming changes to the rule.
The first is a document, “The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule: A Six-Step Compliance Plan for Your Business, which is designed especially for small businesses and contains a step-by-step process for companies to determine if they are covered by COPPA, and what steps they are required to take to protect children’s privacy. The FTC also released a video aimed at businesses to help explain their obligations under the revised rule, including an explanation of the changes.
Finally, the FTC has updated a guide for parents, “Protecting Your Child’s Privacy Online,” that explains what COPPA is, how it works and what parents can do to help protect their children’s privacy online.
These new documents provide guidance from the FTC staff that supplements the rule and other COPPA–related material previously published by the FTC, including an updated set of frequently asked questions about the rule. FTC staff will periodically update the FAQs.
In addition to the guidelines and frequently asked questions, FTC staff maintain a “COPPA Hotline” email address, CO**********@*tc.gov, where industry members can send questions on how to ensure they are compliant with the rule. Comments on the FAQs or suggestions for new FAQs may also be submitted through the COPPA Hotline email address.   
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them.
