Twitter's Jack Dorsey Mocks Parler Purge

One thing that could be said for Standard Oil's John D. Rockefeller. Although he was a monopolist, he never openly gloated nor mocked the competitors that he suppressed or destroyed. The same cannot be said of the twenty-first century blatant monopolist, Jack Dorsey of Twitter. Not content to act in tandem with other social media monopolists in order to attempt to destroy his competitor, Parler, he rubbed salt in the wound he helped create by gloating about it with a mocking tweet.

Because Twitter permanently banned President Trump along with its general crackdown on free speech, many Twitter users have begun switching to Parler which for awhile made it the number one free app download.

"I’m sure the Dems will pass a Law ordering everyone to open a Twitter account for just $10 a month."

Justice Roberts will say it's a tax.

I don’t think anyone should pay attention to what he is tweeting on Twitter. I don’t.

How would ol’ Jack like someone ripping out his bummy-looking nose ring? That’d be a GREAT video! I suspect he’d bleed green, like an insect.

Probably, because the DOJ will do everything they can to quash them.

Jack Dorsey is just a cutout for the CIA, and they're not going to let anyone get in their way of maintaining full spectrum dominance.

does anyone have a twitter account?? I’m sure the appropriate reply would be the image at the link- it shows twitters stock dropping 10% from Monday until after hours trading on Friday:

He has shareholders.

And a board of directors.

Glad I don’t have any money in 401K’s. I retired 17 years ago from NY State, and the paperwork I got when I retired in 2003 told me that those funds would be depleted in 15 years. So as far as I know, I have no money in the NY State Retirement Fund any more. I’m still getting a check each month, but of course somebody else’s donations are likely paying for my continued existence. I just happened to live longer than most NY State retirees. NY State is very happy if you die while still working for them. I had previous State service (33 years total), but when I took the job in Corrections, I vowed I wasn’t going to die working for NY State, because that would have been a plus for them. Sadly, there were plenty other people, most younger than me, who never lived to draw on their pension.

Only two types of peeps wear nose rings; adolescent girls and Jack Dorsey.

Dorsey is one sick puppy. Someone should put him in the dog house, for life and make America a lot safer and saner.

Does he ever shower?

These asshats are going to have their day of comeuppance. And I want to be around when it happens. They will not know whether to sh*t or go blind. And make no mistake, it’s coming hard and fast.

freedom of the press and freedom of speech, Palor should be protected by the constitution. Open and shut.

According to our soon to be enlarged SCOTUS “We The People” have ‘No Standing’ on Constitutional matters.

Looks like the Unibomber and he is managing to do more damage than the Unibomber could ever had imagined.
