You'd think after that had been explained here the first 20,000 times, everyone would know that by now.

What they always mean is, "I want the right to say anything I like with no pushback from anyone." Only dictators have that sort of privilege, not members of a Democracy. You say it, you own it, and I have the right to disagree with you and tell you so in no uncertain terms. Your "free speech" doesn't outrank mine.

The Almighty can do better than support a movement led by a serial philander and his serial philandering attorney.

And yup --- when you sign up for an application you sign up to play by THEIR rules not yours. It is what it is.

The same rules apply to all of us.

And I have seen lieft and right posters get banned/suspended for posts. It is never what they say but how they say it.
LOL that same rules apply to all of us is just crap. You really believe that? There are tons of tweets/posts that are still up that violate those rules. Why do you think they are still there?

You need to take your concerns up with Twitter. I seriously doubt anyone posting here can do a thing to address your grievances.

Was free speech invented in 2007?

People communicated before social media. Even before the internet.

If you believe conspiracies, a vast conspiratorial network managed to engineer the JFK assassination without even cell phones.

This must be a little like what the confederates felt like after they had declared war on the US, and suddenly realized they had nothing but cotton, slaves and . . . arrogance. To quote Rhett Butler.

If you don't own anything, and are renters, and you **** off the landlords, suddenly you got no where to go.

And apparently according to their statement on their website, prepare for the long haul in them getting back up, if they ever do.

74.2. Not 75. And over 80 million voted against him.

And of course I am a godless liberal but I grew up Catholic and reading the bible. And I'm not seeing any Christian behavior going on among trump supporters if by Christian you mean Christ-like.

It looks like it's still up, but I doubt Trump can post. They deleted a tweet as soon as he hit the enter button the other night. I don't follow that account, but if he was posting there, it looks like it's been scrubbed of anything having to do with politics. All I saw scrolling down was coronavirus propaganda.

It will become the property of Joe Biden on the 20th.

No one will touch them. That site is dead. It's not coming back.

Good, it should have been shut down. It was a breeding ground for promoting violence.
