Phone and electricity companies charge you to use their services, thats why government broke them up when they were monopolies. They prevented competition. Internet is a vast place, anybody can come up with a new app and barriers to entry is almost zero. Whatsapp became a juggernaut in 4 years.

So your example is apple and oranges. I dont have a ******** account, and I have lived a normal life. I cant live without electricity, phone was essential for communication and internet access has become essential as well. But twitter, ******** are not essential.

Dictators typically come to power by silencing opposing views, spreading propaganda in schools, controlling pop culture and disarming citizens. Which political group in America does this most closely align?

Fair enough. I don't use them either, but I don't think you can neglect their potential when it comes to pushing people into certain political directions. Be it left or right.

LMAO you guys really love this guy. fukking weirdos, i can give two fuks about another man like the way you do. operating like a bunch of females who's boyfriend cheats on them, and they still go back thinking he has a good heart and is misunderstood. apparently thats not just a girl thing xD

and regardless the point is that they aren't just attacking trump, so Trump has no stance. like...at all.

Trump's not a news source, but if he were one then I'd agree. More credible than CNN and friends.

well there we go kids. then you're a goddamn fool lol.

Trump convinced people that what he says is truth, and the news itself. is all fake, because dear leader doesn't lie, believe dear leader. dont believe the people that may hold me accountable for my actions xD believe me and my people only!

you see....you see what he's doing here? lol

because this thread is stupid. and you guys know it which is why you're ignoring the fact that twitter already called out the cop photos.

even if I was """angry""", usually peoples natural reaction is to retort a point they feel is wrong. that's their first inclination.

I see you guys aren't doing that, so that means you have chit all to say. you know this chit is dumb.

Oval office regulating social media = The entire gov being a dictatorship? Right....Not that i like social media being regulated by the state or anything but the left is the group CONSTANTLY clammoring for socialism all the time. But they cry when its not their guy doing it

The poll i was talking about was from right at the beginning of the pandemic. His rating was higher than obamas. But polls dont really mean much anyway. People now make their decisions based off what they hear from CNN, MSNBC, fox and other propaganda machines who DEFINITELY dont tell the truth

And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting.



Then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside? Or almost a cleaning, ’cause you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors but it sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see but the whole concept of the light. The way it kills it in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.
So show me where he said anythign about injecting bleach or huffing lysol. He definitely didnt say that. So where would people get that idea from?
But what he was likely referring to was:
-Hydrogen Peroxide Injectionsin addition to chemo/radiation therapy in cancer patients
-UV Light Therapybeing pursued as a tratment for COVID-19. Posted April 29

Other instances where the MSM pushed their fake news bull ****:
-Trump removes MLK Jr bust from Oval Office
-27 cent forclosures
-Trump orders CDC to stop usingClimate Change specific words
-"He knew what he signed up for" when that CA congresswoman sloot eavesdropped on the phone call with Sgt LaDavid's widow then leaked to the press that he said that, but conveniently left out the entire context, then coached LaDavid's wife on what to say to the press.

Wanna give us a source? Donald Trump was just riding on Obama economy. Also, he fukked it up by down playing Corona and not putting restrictions on earlier. Lastly, have you seen Republican news? It's literally fake. Msm is usually correct unlesss they really don't know any better, rather than right wing news that consistently lies to viewers and makes up chit.

You can pull **** that every president lied about, even your precious little hero Obama. He's not wrong, sorry if it goes against your feelings and you have to resort to insults and just say everyone is stupid.

And for the record with your stupid "oh now they don't like social media because he doesn't". This has been spoken many times, even before Trump said anything or was even in office. Most social media is trash, you know that.. especially Twitter.

The fact that you are allowed to freely express "everything Trump has lied about", while conservatives on other social media platforms are silenced is reason why this thread even exists.

Go ahead and post. Just make sure you also defend others free speech and acknowledge that sites should not be censoring opposing views.

I'm not defending him though. I'm saying that the MSM has deliberately twisted everything he has done just so people would hate him and they have done a good job. How do you know he deliberately lied and that the outcome just turned out differently than what he originally expected? I didnt even vote for Trump in 2016. Unless there is a solid 3rd party candidate, then i'll be voting for trump over fukking senile **** joe biden. That or i'll just stay home or not vote at all for the presidential election. Damn sure voting for everything else.

What i'm trying to say here is that if the MSM covered Trump in an unbiased manner, i'm 100% sure your opinion of him would be radically different. You may notlikehim (since you sound like you are on the left side of the aisle) but you probably would hate him

oh so you think the amount of lies Donald told is and thetypeof lies Donals has told were equal to everyone else? ...lmao

and no, i posted actual evidence that twitter isn't just doing this to conservatives, so this a mute point. the bit of information I provided was more productive towards countering the point than anyone else has provided thus far.

and if he's right, lets see if this actually gains any traction. which it fukking won't. wanna bet some money? I'll pull out my cash app if you want lmao. lets see if this executive order actually does anything, how much faith do really have in your boy trump?

I also like how you assume my hero is obama, a guy I didn't even vote for. But clearly analyzing the two, is the more intelligent between the two.

Trump throws tantrums over NYT, CNN, WaPo, and now Twitter and ********.

He's literally trying to use the post office to kill Amazon because WaPo's owner owns Amazon lol.

Taken at face value, I've never seen a president throw such a long and continuous bitch fit than Trump. Bush had dignity, the shrub was constantly made fun of. Same with fukkin Obama, you had conspiracy theories made mainstream there. But Trump-oh God no don't touch Trump.

Meanwhile, supposedly there's deep state and conniving liberals holding his balls so he can't do anything of value. Nice built in excuse...
Virtue is its own reward.
