    Just because Trump has been saved twice by a Republican Senate doesn't mean he hasn't committed a crime.

    That’s some pretty solid backpedaling, dodging and weaving.

    What is your position on the outcome of the presidential election ? Or are you going to dodge that too ?

    As for Dirty Donnie, being saved by his slimy, power hungry Republican brethren make him more like John Gotti, another criminal, than a solid citizen.

    You seem to have problems when cornered, don't you. You don't like being called out for posting accusations you can't prove. This is how the conversation started.

    So when you retract your BS claim, or prove it to be true, I will answer your question. Until then you are just doing what leftist do. Keep changing the conversation so you don't have to be accountable for your own BS.

    So are you going to prove it, or are you just all talk?

    You see to have problems when your are in the other corner. A simple answer will put this issue to rest.
    You are doing what typical righties do, dodging and weaving when pressed for an actual answer.
    Non-denial denials are SOP when you don’t want to admit to a position you know is wrong.
    Kind of like Dirty Donnie and Charlottesville.

    Please continue, I can do this all year.

    SAVED? Which saved are we talking about.
    When Democrats falsified evidence in the Senate hearings and got caught
    When Democrat witnesses all claimed they didn't hear Trump say (X) they were just assuming he did
    When Democrats couldn't produce their star whistle blower witness
    Or when 50 FBI officials, 2 dozen CIA officials, 14 top Democrat lawyers, 2500 witnesses and millions of subpoenaed documents came up empty handed?

    You will have to be more precise.

    This is what bothers me. I wonder if Trump supporters be okay with the same behavior from Biden. I mean, let's say Biden lost the election, tried to have his supporters take the Capitol by storm, refused to follow the rules on a privately owned forum and then conned some Governor into trying to make it a law.

    I do not believe for even a second this kind of thing wouldn't fly for Biden or anybody else. And, by so many Rs turning and tucking their tails, it's clear they WILL work with terrorists. It just this latest one is an American citizen.

    P.S. I still curious to find out why Mr. Billionaire can't open his own social media forum? Wouldn't that be easier than trying to force the current ones to allow his mental diarrhea?

    Nope, not going to let you off the hook with my own answer. Even if I did believe the election was rigged, it doesn't mean I ever stated it.

    Its your claim so either show me where I ever made that claim or eat crow.

    When are you going to apologize for the 3 months of outright lies you and Dirty Donnie were repeating about election fraud ? .

    Or you can do what you do best. Just keep regurgitating BS to get around your own post. Which will it be?

    I’ll just sit and wait for your answer.
    You see, at the very least, the Dirty Donnie portion of my statement is truthful.

    Show me a mistake and I’ll accept responsibility for it. Unlike cons and Republicans.

    Of course not.

    Biden would be called a dictator, and rightly so.

    The MAGA and their right-wing militias would take to the streets in arms to protect the Constitution from Biden's onslaught.

    Trump has used the guide as he could to transform a democracy into an authoritarian regime.

    And the first step is to make your political base believe that they are victims, that they are being silenced, that they are being abused by the Deep State and that they were robbed of the election.

    Then, when Trump throws the mob against the Capitol, the MAGAs mistakenly believe they are doing it to save democracy... when it's the exact opposite.

    In fact, no POTUS before Trump would do something like this.

    Why?

    Because even though the US has elected incompetent or slightly stupid presidents, all of them except Trump respected democratic institutions.

    Trump doesn't give a damn about the Constitution, the concept of Democracy and the limit of the POTUS' power.

    For Trump, all means are good to achieve his ends.

    Tell us again how you believe it is constitutionally OK for the state to force Jewish bakers to produce a swastika cake for a neo-nazi birthday party.

    Here's the problem I have with this. I do NOT believe that ALL Trump supporters are batsh!t crazy. It's just mathematically impossible.

    So, starting with the idea that some of his supporters are sane, how can they possibly believe massive fraud happened? There has been NO verifiable evidence of even a little bit of fraud. In fact, the few articles that have been posted here and there were shown to be fraudulent votes FOR Trump.

    If we remove the basis of this claim (ignore everything Trump, Guiliani and Lindell have said)...there's nothing left.

    I really think Trump admired Putin, Xi and Yong-un and thought he could force that type of leadership on US soil. He had to learn it the hard way apparently.

    I'll admit it, I don't know the law. So WTF are you on about? It seems to me that the government should have no say in how a business run their enterprises. If a social media platform wants to ban all right or left wing users it should be free to do exactly that! Let the market sort out what ideas succeed and fail.

    Holy f*** what mental contortions must a conservative go through to come to this conclusion? If you own a venue can you not give a platform to one candidate and not another?

    It sounds painful to those of us on the other side but it's not painful to them.

    Quick recipe...

    a significant amount of denial,
    echo chamber,
    gaslighting skills and a
    narcissistic need to demand all freedoms for themselves while encroaching on other people's rights.

    Sounds like a f**king personal problem. If social media is having a massive and persistent impact on your life you should probably get some help, it's is not healthy.

    It takes mental contortions for you to claim social media is only banning conservative voices? Most people know this fairly easy. Sorry life is that ruff for you.

    nope, as long as the candidate is banned for not following the TOS, that is the candidate's fault

    would the mods here let a candidate break the TOS, or would they treat them like any other poster? can't have one set of rules for the common folk and another for the candidates

    the biggest issue, is foreign country's governments having armies of posters spreading propaganda and hate on social media and people believing it's our own people doing it

    it's never been so easy for our enemies to spread propaganda among our people and try to divide us and destroy us from within

    I don’t know how opposing censorship is in violation of the US constitution.
