    When you first get your computer, if its got windows, it is automatically set to google. How many people actually know that there are other search type engines out there? How many would even know how to change to a different search engine?

    What is the common resource they're banning Parler from, exactly?

    Lies did as far as I know. I'm registered with Parler and I've never seen the posts that were illegal.

    Lack of knowledge is not an excuse.
    The 1st thing one can do is use google to find all search engines.

    I haven't used google as a search engine in a couple of years.

    Computers have been around for over 30 yrs now.
    The only one's getting their 1st computer are those under the age of 10.

    And likely not even computer as we know them anymore. Tablets or smartphones is the likely device.

    I was going to post the same thing.

    I guess if people don't understand and don't know how to use technology, they must feel discriminated against in this modern world. And then, they search for scapegoats.

    Conspiracy. But you would have to prove they acted together and not independently. Do you have such evidence?

    Parler was funded by the same family that funded Cambridge Analytica — can they not start their one extremist right wing search engine also? There is an obvious market for it.

    This is off topic, but did you not start a thread back in April or so, about how Trump and his following would throw Dr. Fauci under the bus and turn on him? And the conservative posters responded saying that would never happen.

    No kidding.

    Has Nunes not grasped the concept that he is in the Minority?

    And, that his call for this "investigation" will be taken less seriously than a Bigfoot Sighting?

    Poor Nunes.
    He still hasn't gotten the memo.

    The Trump wave has crashed and burned. Glad to see you are on record to see the US do poorly only due to political party. More Trump patriotism.

    Yes, I did. As with most things Trump, it was perfectly predictable. But, of course, I was accused of suffering from TDS. In retrospect, people having TDS seemed to have been a healthy survival strategy for our nation.

    No he didn’t and yes there are ways to avoid a crash. Of course adding regulations and increasing taxes are the surest ways to crash the economy and Biden is almost certain to do both so any crash wil be on him.

    Parler sued Amazon today for breach of contract regarding the server deal they had. They should use RICO and anti trust to get treble damages plus contract restoration.

    the only way to prevent the crash is more stimulus and more fed dumping money into the economy, how long can we just keep printing money, now that republican are not in power, they may put a stop to it as they want the economy to crash

    Acording to Glen Greenwald the Capitol riot was planned on Facebook. No one arrested had a Parler account.
