Ok, I got this one, it’s a violation if Republicans did it. Democrats, not so much.
Elon banned Kanye, but that’s beside the point.
TTe Constitution is no longer an impediment for the Davos Marxists.
Great Musk is doing this but wonder what Congress will do about it.....
Between Trump and Musk, the cabal, and “representatives of the people” are being exposed as charlatans, only interested in self preservation.
Technically it’s a political campaign asking, not the government. It’s definitely chilling speech though. It’s hard to say whether this is a loophole the Dems legally exploited.
If Elon keeps it up he will end up like Seth Rich
It was a crime. No one will go to jail for it. The laws and rules do not apply to democrats and anyone who supports democrats. When democrats break the law, all news of it is suppressed and there is no prosecution.
There is even a special set of laws for Republicans. The laws were never passed and signed. They are made up. They are used for jailing Republicans and throwing them in solitary without a trial.
I understand this is all very disconcerting and scary, but I have a few questions:
1. The DNC and the Biden Campaign Teams are not government, right?
2. Twitter is a privately owned company, correct?
3. Is this a fist amendment issue or is it a matter of corruption? Both?
I’m asking because I’m not really sure and I know we have lawyers and scholars on these threads. I also know we have trigger happy bastards on these threads who love calling folks trolls and whatnot. I’m seeking understanding, not wanting to be labeled a troll by some of the more aggressive folks, but if you bring the heat, I’ll put it right back on you.
It’s NOT a violation of the First Amendment.
The first amendment is violated when “The Government” infringes on speech.
President Trump was in office when this request was made.
Biden was a private citizen.
Please learn more about the 1stamendment.
Scalia would say no based on the text of the Constitution.
I don’t want folks to get all excited here, but there’s no first ammendment violation here. A presidential campaign (not yet elected, ergo not part of the government) asked for favors from Twitter to shape the news. Twitter gleefully complied. Has been happening since the advent of news.
There is no law against this, even if there should be. The Bill of Rights is not a generic “things I like are legal, things I don’t like are illegal” catchall.
The right knew all of this was happening, the left knew all of this was happening, but the left is losing it’s mind right now because they firmly believed they could get away with it forever. Same with the Hillary crime coverups.
Musk shattered that mirage, just like Trump shattered the Hillary is inevitable mirage. Credit to both of them for using their privileged stations in life to pick these necessary fights that normies like us couldn’t. The reaction from the establishment is going to be at least as vicious as it was against Trump.
First amendment says “Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;...”
Did Congress make any laws about Twitter, Hunter Biden, etc.?
I keep resisting the urge to subscribe to Taibbi’s Substack — him being a raging lefty and all — but it’s getting harder these days and I’m succumbing to random thoughts of following an intelligent being’s thoughts for once…
Everyone already knows nothing will happen to any democrat politician or any democrat voter.
When peaceful revolution is made impossible, violent revolution is required.
These Tweets are interesting to read. I am waiting for the condensed list of Who Requested: Who Facilitated: Final Decision Maker: Who Was Harmed.
James Woods was on FIRE last night on Tucker Carlson. “The government of the United States conspired to take my free speech and throw it in the GUTTER”.
Lotta that going around, James. The graves of patriots going back over 2 centuries scream for justice.
I would love to know what Elon Musk and the Apple CEO talked about that convinced him not to remove the Twitter App from the Apple App Store.
If it was just the DNC then it's an issue for the FEC as these can be considered in kind contributions.
But let's not kid ourselves. The GOP will do nothing in either case. Musk will do what he does.
Actually, I take it back. The GOP might join the demoncraps in persecuting Musk since the last thing they want is to have a solid majority where they might be expected to deliver on the promises they made the base, rather than just deliver showboat votes and speechify about how they are powerless to do anything.
