I'm seriously considering dropping my Facebook account. I'm rarely publishing at all and mostly re-posts , and I've been censored 3 or 4 times over the past 2-3 months. On prior occasions, I dropped the tagged posts, mostly because they don't let you see the material they are censoring. In this recent example, it was the Babylon Bee mockup of a pregnant Ken doll. There was ZERO justification for this--I specifically noted there was no pregnant Ken doll being sold. A person would have to be brain-dead to be misled by the post. SCREW FACEBOOK!
The Censored Post:

Well, Cheney's obsession with Trump cost her the leadership position, although Trump was always going to go after her after the impeachment vote. I would respect her more if she attacked former RINO-in-Chief Trump more on his unprincipled politics.

Yeah, right. The Democrats love choice, except when it comes to imports (like baby formula), education, gun policy, wage mandates, energy generation, apartment leasing, government contracting, and a million other things. We don't need a political whore for free markets.

You're a pathological liar. The power to regulate abortion was vested at the state, guaranteed by the 10th amendment and was universally and explicitly illegal in all states by 1910. Nobody pretends a mother has a right to kill her children after birth. Birth is arbitrary.

Trump is the same dimwit under whose watch we had a delayed, botched government monopoly rollout of COVID-19 testing and seemed to imply the virus was replicating because of testing. mRNA vaccines emerged early in the pandemic and could have been rolled out earlier, saving lives. https://t.co/nOsXV51ATM

In today's science, we know the basic framework of the recognizable human baby is in place by the 12th week (first trimester): functioning organs, body parts, genitalia; the baby can suck her thumb, etc. Aristotle's notion that boy babies were ensouled much earlier was abandoned.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) July 10, 2022
The fact that human life begins at conception is a scientific fact which quickly superseded the flawed Aristotelian notion of stage development, that the fetus developed through plant, animal stages before the human-like stage for ensoulment.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) July 10, 2022
No. Ensoulment was an Aristotelian notion. By 1910, the quickening criterion had basically disappeared among all states. The Catholic Church had universally condemned ALL abortions for over 2000 years. Pre-quickening abortions were also restricted under English common law.

This exposes the pro-abort lie that most American voters support abortion on demand. Just a reminder: the median limit in Europe is 12 weeks, when the baby has her basic body parts and organs, can wiggle her toes, etc. Also, about 90% of American abortions are performed by wk 12. https://t.co/xs1ftM63XK

I'm amused by Jill Biden's "breakfast taco" gaffe. As a native Texan who loves his Tex-Mex cuisine, I don't think Biden has a clue about Latino culture. (I personally have a preference for huevos rancheros.) Trump's gaffe involved his properties' taco bowls.

It appears oil prices are sliding, not because of Biden's "policies", because of growing recession fears. Of course one could argue his policies have led to recession.
