    I agree - he didn't. It was Twitter who made that decision - not the political left as some are suggesting.

    if people like you would shut up and behave like sane adults we wouldn't consider silencing anyone. pretty simple, eh?

    Yes, and the illiberal left leaders are calling for censorship from Twitter and Facebook. It's a fascist Techo-Political partnership with the goal of gaining totalitarian power.

    When top leaders of the federal government are pushing for the silencing of opinions they don't like, it's the government.

    "Shut up" does not resolve problems, but it would appear that silencing speech is the tool which the illiberal authoritarians will use to promote the appearance of "unity". Debate is what happens when people are adulting. Shut up is what happens when pre-adolescents don't have any substantive defense for their position.

    The left is badly mangling any idea of a fresh start by launching an existential threat to civil liberties. Not a great start.

    Use the ignore button. It's there for a reason.

    The power of private companies is limited to their own employees, not to their end-users. So yeah, a private company can censor or fire their own employees; but they can't censor those who simply use their services, because their end-users are part of the public domain, and the public domain is protected by the constitutional right of free speech.

    It would make more sense for the government to shut down Twitter and Facebook, than to allow Twitter and Facebook to shut down our free speech rights.

    We need to define which companies are and are not protected by Section 230. Companies which want to have editorial control over content do not qualify for Section 230 protections. They are "publishers". Companies which operate as a virtual public square qualify for Section 230 protections. They are "platforms".

    The totalitarian politicos on the left want all media to act as publishers of government directed and approved content, censor other opinions, and have immunity from legal liabilities. That's just wrong.

    In 1949 West Germany resumed Democratic elections. If Hitler had survived the war, should have been allowed to run for office? I can just see him now holding big Trump sized rallies in Nuremburg. By 1949 Germany was pretty sick of Trumpism. What do we do with our Hitler going forward?

    Can't predict the future. I don't know what will happen to Biden or Harris in 2024.

    Harris is the nominee
    Republicans find someone not stained by Trump's election nonsense who believes in Trump's policies and the Republicans win back the WH

    Not to worry. Biden's healing touch can soothe the most troubled of hearts.

    Any thoughts, then, on Trumps attacks on Amazon, Boeing, Delta, GM, Lockheed Martin, Merck, Nordstrom, NFL, Toyota or any of the news outlets that he feels don't treat him fairly?

    You are misunderstanding this in a way that causes me to question whether or not you can process useful information at all.
    The PRIVATE forums twitter et al have banned Trump because his hate speech has lead to the death of people.

    I want to thank you for providing once again proof positive that the Right is essentially a perverted death-cult, with no respect for life.

    Oh, and Trump really did want to see some Representatives and Senators get killed. It's only a matter of time before hard evidence comes out.

    And then we will see how much you want to support his right to speech.

    Tick, tock, tick, tock...

    A fresh start will occur when the Right atones for sins of the last 4 years.

    Isn't that free speech? Did he forcefully silence any of them? Hint: No.

    a yuge difference between the two Hitler's is Adolph was rarely in public and had goons to take care of anyone around to be dealt with harshly while our conman was accessible and vulnerable to being called out constantly by media etc. with his immense guilt and incredibly fragile ego he was the easiest sandbox bully to send running there ever was. yet nobody laid a verbal finger on him in 5yrs. that's how far we've sunk, couldn't even handle the biggest wuss in history with the flick of a wrist. face to face George Carlin would have sliced and diced his fat n lazy ass faster than a Ginsu knife buzzsaw. not to mention this silly notion that a sitting President can't be indicted?? who made that BS up other than a scribbled memo by a friggin republican who would have instantly ignored it for his clowns??

    Trump didn't use any hate speech nor is there any evidence that he "really did' want to see anyone get killed. That's is pure propaganda and gaslighting from the left-wing histrionic musings.

    The left is perfectly happy to destroy the 1st Amendment and sucker punch due process. We've witnessed that for four years.

    Why, it's almost as if people just start making up stuff when they realize that their argument sucks and they really don't have any solid information to offer.

    Yes, he did.

    But you can just hug your security blanket and all is well.

    The healing will commence when the Right admits that it picked a total dud with Trump. A dud, but a dangerous dud.
