Dear Mitch: Don’t believe you or any other leader can be compromising, harmonious and kind to the Left and it will make them pat you on the head and call you “good boy.”

They will turn on you, kick you and blacken your name in the media anyway.

This is as inevitable as the mass street violence next summer.

The most recent tweet I saw is 8/5 so not sure he/his staff can post. Normally the tweets are real up to date.

I’m not a troll but have an honest question. What is the difference between Free Republic banning trolls and Twitter de-platforming Mitch McConnell? Can someone explain in legal terms why one is okay and one is not?

"I don’t understand why none of Facebook’s, Twitter’s and YouTube’s censorship victims have sued."

Hmmmm… Well, Twitter and Facebook are private compenys.. Maybe if Mitch claimed he was gay he would have a chance of getting reinstated.. You know, like making a baker make a Fagot cake... Or whatever.. :)

How about cell phone companies? They are private.

What if they monitored your calls and texts and decided to pause your usage?

Twitter is a publicly traded corporation, Freerepublic is privately owned and operated.

It would be the same comparison as Hilton kicking someone out of a legally used room versus you kicking someone out of your home.

Ma Bell was land lines - utilities. I think cellular communication is a different matter. I don’t know the answer - that’s why I posed the questions.

Twitter exec’s must just laugh their asses off at the GOP, conservatives and Christians. Daily and deeply.

Just revoke all their patents, copyrights, and intellectual property. Then they’ll be more concerned with emerging competition.

"Swing and a miss" is snarky, but says nothing to enlighten us.

Why don't you elaborate on your intended point?

It means the Hilton can kick you out of your room reserved or not paid for or not so the anecdote doesn’t hold.

“”Why is Mitch a cuckold in this situation?””

Glad I kept reading the replies as I was going to ask the same thing. That’s a pretty nasty insult to a great, very accomplished woman who is McConnell’s wife...Do you suppose the writer bothered to look the word up before he posted?

“when will politicians break up these trusts and monopolies”

When we pressure them to do so. Not before. Maybe not even then. It’s such an Orwellian world now.

Why should G own YT or Android? etc? Crazy, dangerous stuff!
