ONCE AND FOR ALL. Jack Dorsey owns a product, guess what that gives him the right to control said product.


If you come to my house guess what, yes I will control what plays on the tv, what plays on the radio and what plays on the computer. Guess in my house are not allowed to sing, play or listen to gansta rap. you want to listen to it, go some where else. guess what I own it, I get to call the shots.

No one is censoring Trump, he has the ability to get his message out, he can start his own website, he can start his own cable tv station, he can hire a plane and sky write it if he so chooses.
Jack Dorsey is a co-founder of Twitter.

Jack Dorsey is the CEO of Twitter.

Twitter is a publicly held company. It’s shares are publicly traded.

Consumers have 2 direct ways to respond if they don't like Twitter's policies:

1. Cancel their Twitter accounts and/or

2. Sell all shares of Twitter stock

Which doesn't mean that the public have any control with how the company is run. If the public is mad they will let the company know by voting with their feet. That is the free market.

Because all of trumps posts are lies, that’s why.

That was way too easy.

and didn't Donald say he was too old???

and, btw,... even if he runs again... he'll surely lose.

A large percent of the people that voted for him this time won't make the same mistake again.

I dont know. Did he?

Hardly the point though. The point was that you said Donald will be too old to run. I think it was appropriate to mention that Biden is the same age that Trump will be in 2024.

You added the bolded part while I was responding.

That is a different argument than the point I was making.

Yes,... I'm sure that Trump made Biden's age a huge deal during this election.

and, again... who cares if Donald Trump runs again????

Donald Trump is never going to get elected again.

Most Americans have seen enough.

He's never going to get elected.
Maybe he did, but I don't remember him making age an issue. Do you have a link?

I'm sorry your memory is so short.

Donald Trump Attacks on Joe Biden's Age Risk Him Losing Older Voters

..."His base loves him because nothing is off-limits and he doesn't care who he offends. He has repeatedly insulted groups—veterans, the disabled, the media—and his base has forgiven him and rallied around him. But this time, when he slips and insults his base itself—and with seniors already trending away from Trump because of previous similar behavior—this may be an insult too far," he said...."
