    What was the dangerous characteristic of Muslim sites?

    When one pays to use a service, one has an expectation of the service being available.

    Hillary never got banned! Didn't she say Trump stole the election and was illegitimate?

    Couldn't find anywhere she said he stole the election, she did concede the morning after the vote. She said he was illegitimate in 2017 after
    he had been inaugurated and it was in an interview on TV, not Twitter. (though I'm not sure if she ever said it on twitter.).

    She was a private citizen at that time.

    She was just as toxic as Trump, and I would not vote for her (or Bill). But let's get the story straight.

    Great!
    Let’s proceed with polarization of the internet. What can go wrong when you marginalize millions of people who have a ton of weapons at home?

    Did her supporters use that as an excuse to storm the capitol, try to overturn the election and kill a cop?

    Many businesses boarded up windows in anticipation of riots. The actions of these thugs are uncharacteristic of Trump supporters and thats why politicians were not calling for the National Guard in advance. These thugs had the element of surprise.

    "It's not Trump's fault, because police were surprised ...?"
    Trump should try reading his intelligence briefings, the FBI in Virginia was warning of violence on that day.
    Hopefully, it's not the start of a violent week heading up to the 20th.

    Right now, Republicans are feeling that heat as a portion of their own base is sending them death threats. MAGA is eating their own.

    I believe this is correct.

    FWIW he should have conceded within 24 hours of other announcements, stopped talking, stop talking, and then stop talking, he could have continued with the lawsuits in the background if at the time they felt they had merit, which it appears they didn't.

    That is not what happened, but that is what should have happened.

    I have issues with the mail ins but didn't care to actually go down the rabbit hole, I was basically apathetic and moved on. Moving on quickly was and is my plan every election. I'm a third party guy with no third party, its lonely here.

    I sure as hell didn't know I was taking a nap, missed everything!

    then again I think I missed about 80 Portland riots in a row and I miss the Chicago outbreaks and I definitely missed the New York 5th and 6th Avenue getting trashed, found out a week later. We've had a lot of pretty serious citizen uprisings lately and although I feel for the whole Congress government thing but I feel just as strongly for the business owners and residents.

    I have no problem with stomping down on the destructive extremists but only if we're stomping down on all of them, not picking winners and losers.

    If that were true, politicians would be calling for more security in advance. It was not expected.

    How to deal with the convolution upstairs? Sure you can. But you did not. I made the claim Trump legacy is his courts. Do you deny that is his legacy? Sure there are other legacies too. Such as what he has done for blacks.

    Republican courts must be different and that is per Democrats. Democrats talk a talk they do not walk. They should not be given credit for things you mention.
    Corporations are a form of joint ownership created in law by politicians.
    I have myself with my first wife jointly owned a corporation. It was not large but was formally a corporation. I had a lawyer in San Francisco set it all up. Fees for it were about $1,000 around 1977. Not cheap at all. Why did I and my wife set it up? Not that important for these purposes.
    Republicans primarily stand for freedom. It is a vast difference between Democrats (witness they again trying to remove Trump) and Republicans. I do not recall any historical moment when Republicans tried to remove a president. (Some here may want to cite Nixon of course. But he was not impeached nor found guilty by the Senate.)

    Amazon has become the monster. They are super rich. Usually the Democrats attack the super rich yet not in the case of Amazon, Twitter, Facebook or Google. This time the super rich are their best friends.

    I believe the thugs that rioted were AntiFa. It has all of their earmarks.

    That proves my point. If you believed violent people were going to storm the building, would you turn down added security? None of these politicians were overly concerned with their safety.

    Could be, but I doubt that those wearing work boots were antifa!

    I don’t think it’s clear yet why the security was so lacking. But the fbi made it clear they knew. Anyone on twitter knew...

    Not in the realm of possibility. Anyone can make a hindsight call. If Trump supporters were known to be violent, politicians would have the foresight to strengthen security. These thugs had the element of surprise.

    On topic, companies that control information control the population. Allowing companies to be soldiers for a political party is dangerous and should never be tolerated.

    So you’d like to force a private business to publish information it finds objectionable or that advocates violence?

    first of all, Hillary never used Twitter like that, second Trump violated the TOS many many many times, this time Trump's attempted coup was the line too far

    so by your logic, everyone should be able to abuse Twitter like Trump over and over for 4 years before being banned, Trump should have been banned long ago if he had been treated like a normal person

    How can you possibly know given the very bias of our media in America? They have long covered for AntiFA

    What the hell do you think both AntiFA and BLM is all about? Raw violence.
