Yuhp. all the political capitol they raised from clientizing us went to enriching Themselves and they never followed through on any of our issues unless they profited by it. Anyone who is in favor of open borders, runs the MSM or imposes political correction on the rest of us is our enemy and that just describes today’s corporate entities. Sure some of them are Republican but they are feckless, treacherous, duplicitous and stab us in the back constantly. Time to stab them in the front.

Which content are they calling hateful?

One of the ones berating human traffickers? The organized sex-criminals? Or one of the other criminal groups?

The platform’s community guidelines and hateful conduct rules are the following: “Hateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes, encourages, or facilitates discrimination, denigration, objectification, harassment, or violence based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or serious medical condition or veteran status, and is prohibited. Any hateful conduct is considered a zero-tolerance violation.”

Twitch provided the following Trump rhetoric as specific examples:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people,” Trump once said in a clip that was recently rebroadcast on Twitch.


So what category did he supposedly violate? Doesn’t seem to meet any of their criteria.

“ Barr and the DOJ will descend on them like a ton of bricks”

Barr isn’t going to do sh*t, he’s running out the clock for the Libs. If Biden is elected he’ll take his 30 pieces of silver and make for the hills.

“I see a future where the President is completely boxed out of Social media, if that happens he has to rely on tv, radio, local newspapers and campaign stops, all of which are a decade behind the reach of social media.”

You’re giving too much weight to social media. Social media is one of a dozen ways candidates impart information and get voters to the booth. And social media is dominated by young people who are notorious for not voting.

The only reason for twitter’s supposed power is that it’s a leftist echo chamber.

Isn’t this is a Section 230 issue? Either they enjoy 230 protection and allow everything that’s not illegal (referring exceptions to law enforcement, ex. child porn, bomb threats,...) -OR- they don’t get 230 protection and then they can pick and choose what can be said.

“Hateful conduct” = Anything non-leftist.

Time to take down these Stalinazis hard.

You know that you can use Parler without downloading an app don’t you?
Just like youtube, Twitter etc.
I have never downloaded Twitter for example and still read Trump’s tweets, or use a youtube app, but I watch videos on YouTube on my browser when I need to.
You don’t need an app sign up for or use Parler.
Apple is wasting their time.

That is relevant how?
Trump has never needed the media to get his message out.
When Trump moves to Parler that will be it.
A mass movement to Parler of conservatives (and Trump haters) will follow.
Trump will get his message out fine.

Barr is doing plenty.
Say, how is that now ex Federal Attorney for the Southern District of New York doing these days? He said he wasn’t going to go no?
