As far as what is underlined above... the difference between this in New Mexico and Pizzagate is... ??
The difference between this and pizzagate is that the landlord was directly involved. He's not Joe Blow from Montana claiming that he heard there were people in New Mexico sacrificing aliens out in the desert. He's the man renting to the people who were arrested. He's making a claim about his own actions. The police are making a claim about their own actions. Who involved in Pizzagate was making a claim about their own actions? No one. Did a victim come forward in Pizzagate and make an allegation? Did the police conduct an investigation? NO, NO and NO. Pizzagate was an conspiracy theory based on nothing. Some of the people e-mailing each other in the DNC e-mails mentioned getting together for a pizza. Someone else said they were craving a pizza. Another e-mail mentioned the pizza joint in DC. And a conspiracy theorist invented Pizzagate, and spread a completely unfounded 100% misinformation piece across the internet, and people ate it up, and one guy decided to go to the pizza joint and free the little children in the basement. A basement that didn't exist. And this guy actually fired a gun into a crowded restaurant.

It's like they want to be slaves. Yes, tell me what I can read. Yes, tell what I can think.
I swear the entire right has this weird obsession with playing the “persecution card”; do point out where I equated spouting BS propaganda with telling one how to think, because you’re the only one making that comparison.

When you want to restrict what information is publicly available, a la 'fake news' then, yes, you are telling people what they can and cannot think. It's also called censorship.

Don't care about the topic? Then don't read it. Don't prevent other people from reading it.

Libs go to move every time:
If I hate it, everyone must hate it.
If I approve of it, everyone must approve of it.
No one is allowed to think for themselves.

It’s a private company, they can do as they please, deal with it, and no that’s not censorship.


Cry me a river.

You've missed the point entirely. But hey, insults are fun too. Another liberal go-to move.

You don’t have a point, aside from attempting to act persecuted.

More bs.

Read whatever you want. Approve whatever you want. But don't call misinformation the truth when it is not.

I do have a point: It doesn't matter if you hate/approve what's being censored. Censorship is censorship.

It is a tough concept, but hey, keep those insults rolling in.

The other day, my friend spelled out a joke in magnetic letters on my refrigerator. Then I censored the hell out of it. When is the government going to step up and protect free speech on my refrigerator!? Oh the horrors, its 1984 in 2018! Someone help, I am exploiting my refrigerator monopoly to censor free speech!
