You’re actually still insisting there was no fraud? Have you listened to the dozens of witnesses? Seen the video? Why would Georgia CLAIM to stop the count at 10 pm, lying about a water pipe leak, in order to send observers home, and then four of them stay behind to count unobserved?

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it’s a duck.

You want the government to interfere in a private company's day-to-day operations? On what grounds?

This is why the mainstream media gets so antsy about alternative social networks such as Parler. They want their message and their narrative to go unchallenged.

On the grounds they are acting like a publishing company, and should be able to be sued for discrimination. Same with Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The Dems want to protect their right to publish only liberal-supporting material and censor material that reveals the fraud Dems committed. These companies can’t have it both ways.

Your opinion. Why not just be honest and say you want to silence dissenting speech?

Were you this adamant about the Steele Dossier?

I dunno. It COULD be a Pie-billed Grebe or an American Coot. Would have to hear them talk to know for sure.

The crap has to stop at some point.
Why don't you approve of free speech?

Yet no court has ruled in favor of fraud...because they can't prove it therefore it didn't exist...get over it...Biden won fair and square

Narrative control and writing their version of history-creepy.


But not surprising seeing the number of Youtube and/or employees that donate to left candidates , causes and organizations.

Throw in parent companies Google and Alphabet I'm sure their editorial decisions run down hill unimpeded.
