Twitter and Facebook are private companies. They can shut out whoever they want. It just like a bouncer throwing out a rowdy drunk. Trump can always call a news conference. He would have no problem during that.

And that is what they said about ATT way back when there was what was called the "Bell System" of different telephone companies. Just as they were breaking them up into smaller ones.

Yeah just like a bakery can't be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Oh wait, nevermind.

Well, it's not all bad. Here, it turns out Ayatollah Khamenei uses Twitter. How can you accuse Twitter of restricting freedom of speech?

Along with the Marxist utopians on the other side, this is the sort of insanity on the right that makes me heartsick. There are large numbers of ignorant people who gobble up this nonsense daily. This castoff from "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" for instance has been peddling this drivel for a month now. LTG (Ret) McInerney has been almost as outrageous in front of any camera he can find. Many of us are genuinely concerned about the future of free speech in this country, but all of us are being painted by the broad brush of these lunatics. Please note that the site describes itself as "conservative."

It is hard to fathom how much free speech is under attack.

In two years we have gone from Alex Jones being banned by Twitter to multitudes being banned/Suspended, including the President.

Business have lifecycles.

Twitter may have just replaced MySpace in the B-School case study text books.

The only thing that is interesting is that any sane human being would take this idiot seriously. He is a complete and certifiable raving lunatic. One of his really shining moments was claiming live on Fox that Malaysia Flight 370 (March 2014) that was lost over the Indian Ocean had been highjacked by terrorists and flown to either Pakistan or Sudan for use in a future mass casualty attack. He is also a birther. He further claimed that John McCain had been a traitor while a POW (for which he eventually apologized). Think what you will of McCain, but he withstood years of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese, refusing early release (McCain's father was a famous admiral and the Vietnamese wanted to use McCain for propaganda value - he would not cooperate). Fox eventually dumped McInerney when they realized he was batshit crazy. He was most recently one of the idiots claiming that US forces seized a server farm in Germany - I think even the nuttier conspiracy theorists have moved on from that insanity. I can speak for every other senior officer that I know that he is an abject embarrassment to the US military.

I hope that he went off his rocker long after he was on active duty in the Air Force and was selected to general officer grades of rank.

The internet is a wonderful thing, but it does give a platform for some ridiculous stuff.

+1.

As a European, I do by no means claim to know to detail what is going on in the US (although some things are seriously hard to grasp), but how people wrap their heads around some of these conspiracy theories circulating is totally beyond me. Irrespective of political views, the Trump cult is very, very disturbing.

Yeah, sorry. I tried to watch this but well... lets just say it didn't grab me.

Come to think of it, I am glad I was in the back of the C-130 wearing a parachute!

I'd say it differently, that extremist cults are very disturbing. It doesn't matter how far left, right, pro, or con to whatever it is that they are.

Almost anything in excess, or absence is bad.

Who the heck cares about some sexualy misguided people and a bakery. If you pay some crooked lawyer enough anything can happen.

Cool ufo I got my tin hat.

Agreed.

And as always, it's important to compare apples to apples. Mr Biden and the Democratic administration taking office is by no means extremist. He would be center-right pretty much anywhere around the globe. Some people, and several of whom I know personally, fail to make that distinction.

I figured out how to make the lib's heads explode.

President Trump needs to resign,

Vice President Pence would then be sworn in as President.

Then President Pence would pardon ex President Trump of all crimes and charges against him during his Presidency.

Pelosi's head would just explode.

I don't think Mr Pence would be willing to do that. And why would he?

Besides, Mr Trump should, in the name of decency, be tried in court.

They way that the libs are stacking the court there is no way that I would want to be tried by them.

A open court, then by all means but not by those that are out to see me buried in their false beliefs.

Tried in court for what exactly?

Upsetting the Marxists?

Exactly!! Even to be pardon means he was guilty of a crime and he hasn't done shit!!!
