Republicans on Saturday vowed to investigate GoFundMe's decision to take down a page accepting donations in support of protesting truckdrivers in Canada, although GoFundMe early Saturday already said it would simply refund all donations.

LOL, maybe you should take your 60 boxes of shells and shoot Spotify. God knows the only things the GOP in Congress is good for, is providing cover for a failed Presidency.

The usual crop of low information Republicans, looks like.

...I mean since they went off grandstanding about shit they have no direct authority over, only to find out that GFM's actions are totally legal and no ripoffs are occurring.

Fukin clowns...and I include Loktard.

It's because at first they had made some claim that they weren't going to refund the donations and they would send them to other GoFundMes.

It's not that they took the page down. Everyone knows that's against GFP to raise money for anything besides personal issues. It's that they were going to redistribute it and they reversed that decision now since people were wanting them investigated for fraud.

What do you define as a "failed presidency"? Anything that doesnt cater to just you?

Any person that doesnt just represent your partisan side is "failed"?

I don't see a problem or anything wrong with Truckers raising money for their cause. I guess they just chose the wrong platform.

I don't really agree with anti masking or anti social distancing mandates.

But I'm also getting concerned that outlets like Spotify & gofundme are aligned too closely with the directives of the governing establishment. Rather than shut these initiatives down we should encourage some dialogue.

As long as it is peaceful non violent protest I don't see the harm done. The truckers I saw yesterday seemed intimidating with their big trucks at 1st. But in the end it was just a bunch of burly guys driving their rigs down Main St honking their horns..

Yeah GFM is really strict on their fundraising. Its gotta be for personal crisises....it cant be anything politcal.

This was against their TOS from the beginning....so i wouldnt say that about gfm over this.

But yeah major platforms are definately more aligned with the governing establishment.

Why do "Conservatives" demand Government interventions in private enterprise all the damn time?

Why do leftists constantly see shit that isnt happening and ask why its happening?
Citations needed.

Agreed.

Show us where conservatives are demanding gov intervention on private enterprise.
What would you call this????????

That was an investigation because GFM had originally said they were not going to refund anyones money but rather redistribute it to other charities.

Are you about to go more free market than I am and argue for why private enterprise should be allowed to STEAL?

Oh so we either have NO laws at all or we have to have authoritarianism?

If we want basic laws that protect individual rights we MUST go all the way and be communists?

How does that make sense, Admin? GFM should be allowed to steal or we are commies? Bahahaha. Right.

You either dont know what communism is or you've become so hyperpartisan you cant think.
