That doesn’t break twitters ToS but Trumps tweets warrant a complete removal. Can you square those for me? It screams of wild bias.

Maybe because twitter users were not storming their capital because that seems to be the kicker right there, however it was shown that lightly burning buildings in the economy is ok. You can even have a large message painted on the streets.

Edited: I was starting to rant and its my New Years eve resolution. I did break it earlier on Twitter.. something fell into my lap.. just perfect.

Vile opinion vs call to arms. Trump doesn't know where the line is because it's not crushed up adderall so he doesn't care.

Not saying I agree with that Tweet of course but from a legal liability perspective it's a completely different world.

To use Twitter as an example, they are a US-based social media firm. It's a lot easier to get jurisdiction over them in a lawsuit for things that happen in the United States than it is internationally. Now, someone from Israel could come sue them in the US, but that would be extremely expensive for them so they'd probably try to sue in Israel, which Twitter would then dispute from a jurisdictional perspective and maybe get it tossed out...maybe there are other international laws that makes Twitter less liable...etc. etc. Point being that international liability is way more unclear than US liability for Twitter would be. It's way more risky on the US side since it would be way easier to sue them here than it would be for people from elsewhere.

It's also a commercial decision. Think about it. Your platform is literally being used to encourage people to overthrow the democratically elected government of Joe Biden and install a candidate who lost an election. Initially, the social media platforms didn't shut that down because no one believed people would actually go that far. Once they realized that these lunatics are serious, they had to remove the users because people are not going to do business with a company that allows people to create anti-Democratic insurrection to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States. That is treason. The social media platforms want nothing to do with the potential legal liability or commercial impact of supporting treason in the United States.

Outside of Twitter, some of these platforms like Facebook were literally being used to organize armed militias. Those platforms wouldn't allow, for example, ISIS to create a group to organize their terror attacks. These people who are proposing armed violence are literally domestic terrorists and they are being appropriately treated as such.

Listening to this isreal rhetoric got me thinking:

When you and the boys get together for an insurrection, but start talking about what policies you're for and against.

You can do all that, just don't go near the capital. It gets really real when those people feel the heat. Recall that one lady who flipped the script when the protests got near her home.

"Do what you want in the neighbors backyard, don't get caught and don't bring it inside the house"

If caught use "I am participating in our democracy"

I didn't really support the BLM protests and certainly was not happy about the looting etc., but again comparing them is not the same. BLM was about people who protested against what they perceived as systemic racism in law enforcement which caused them to be treated completely differently (in some cases with deadly results). And as an aside, while I usually don't engage with their arguments about minorities being treated differently to an extreme extent, I do have to admit it's tough to dispute that claim following how white people were treated in an attempted coup vs. how black people were treated for marching in a street.

What happened last week was people literally attempting to disrupt the electoral process in order to overthrow the duly elected government and appoint their own leader who lost the election. Comparing looting during a BLM protest to a literal attempt to subvert democracy and prevent the impact of a free and fair election (the most anti-American thing you could possible do and the antithesis of all that we stand for) is completely nonsensical. They are not analogous at all.

The good news is he is leaving. After he is gone you will have no choice but to take it straight to the people themselves.. that Trump is responsible for and he created (not the other way around).

"Those X don't know where the line is because it's not X and they don't X"

T. Money makes a great political punching bag and you had it for four years. Someone that you could openly hate with no draw back. Some would call that a gift.

Isn't that one of the criticisms with the GOP, that they are door mats? I have read that more than a few times.

[Mblake81]

My big beef with all of this isn't Trump, Liberals, Pelosi.. gay men or women. Heck, it isn't even the transvesstites.

Have you noticed that the Internet went from "Oh cool, people from all over the world. I can wait to ask an Australian if he knows Crocodile Dundee!"

to

Whatever the hell this stuff is.

I blame Steve Jobs.

The extremes on both sides meme about how ineffective the party leaderships are as a way to play tug of war with the moderates in each party.

Mcconnell and Pelosi are both highly effective at controlling their voting members; the smallfolk just have idiotic policy goals.
