Elon Musk Proves Trump Twitter Ban Was Worse Than You Thought: “I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement, I also am not seeing clear or coded incitement in the DJT tweet”
Slay ^ | 12/12/22 | David Hawkins

Elon Musk just released ‘The Twitter Files Part Five, The Removal of Trump from Twitter’ and proved it was way worse than anyone thought. Most believed Twitter had a system to make such a historic decision and Trump would have had to clearly violate the rules to get the boot.

Turns out Trump did not violate the rules according to Twitter employees and leadership had to twist the rules to infer what Trump may have been talking about to ban him. What a scandal. Journalist Bari Weiss reported Part 5. She said:

“On the morning of January 8, President Donald Trump, with one remaining strike before being at risk of permanent suspension from Twitter, tweets twice.

“6:46 am: “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!. 7:44 am: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

“For years, Twitter had resisted calls both internal and external to ban Trump on the grounds that blocking a world leader from the platform or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information that people should be able to see and debate.

“Our mission is to provide a forum that enables people to be informed and to engage their leaders directly,” the company wrote in 2019. Twitter’s aim was to “protect the public’s right to hear from their leaders and to hold them to account.”

“But after January 6, as @mtaibbi and @shellenbergermd have documented, pressure grew, both inside and outside of Twitter, to ban Trump.

Banning Trump from Twitter is just the beginning. Democrats have been trying to ban Trump from holding public office again, including the presidency.

If not stopped, democrats would ban all republicans and conservatives from holding public office. They’ve already been successful at banning conservative speech from a lot of left-leaning social media, and from newspapers and magazines and from the airwaves (TV/radio). The theft of elections is just part of their plans to stop all opposition to their agenda, and they are doubling-down and won’t be stopped unless Americans start paying attention and caring about what the left has in store for the country.

Democrats are feeling their oats, and have only just begun. The only thing that could stop them, after they’ve achieved most or all of their goals, would be a civil war. Hopefully it doesn’t get to that.

“cause they hate his guts”

They sure never used to. Then when he came on the scene talking about, in its essence, shrinking Government and returning power to the people - that’s when they started to really dislike him.

Much like parasites they are sucking us Americans dry of freedom, liberty, and wealth. We haven’t seemed to notice, but then he came along and started pointing it out. Man that pisses them off.

In a world of constant bad news, I’m at the point where I’ll take any victories, no matter how small or temporary they may be. Elon’s posts certainly qualify.

There was no incitement. That word was concocted by the Trump hating Left and the fake jan 6th group. and the media.

They're not just intolerant, and they're not just bullies.

They're a destructive force, and dangerous. If they get their way, the U.S. will cease to exist, and what will result is a much more dangerous world, with the likes of China and Russia and Iran and N. Korea in charge of the direction that the world takes.

With democrats in charge, the U.S. is on the verge of extinction. It won't the first world-power to become extinct, but, it was/is the part of the world that has kept the world in relative peace and in relative prosperity. The invasion from the south is part of the democrats plan to destroy the U.S. We are witnessing the slow death of the country.

“Ban”, “censure”, “fact-check”, “moderate”. ..

The Left can’t abide open debate

They’ve moved “beyond” linear reasoning. In other words, they’ve gone nuts.
