Trump might be in for a bigly surprise.
I don't think you're in a position to tell Parler what it can and can't do, lefty.

It was bad enough that they broke windows, doors, scaled walls, killed a Police Officer, threatened our Leaders, chanted "Hang Mike Pence"but

When the Trump supporters stormed the Capital and took down the American Flag and try to replace it with a Trump flag...
at that point...how could that be anything but insurrection and treason? It was disgusting.

If you hold America in such low regard, get the hell out.

And calling for the murder of police officers is allowed on twitter. Hashtags that call for harm against the President are common on that platform.

It's the whole glass houses, pots and kettles thing.

And yet attacking federal buildings, murdering police officers, and burning the American flag was okay with many Democrat officials. Kamala Harris even promoted a fund to bail out the rioters.

Sorry, if you're going to point fingers, prepare for the receipts.

Your questions is founded on a false premise. Were you aware of that and posted anyway?

LOL!

You mean like how BLM & Antifa & Schumer & Pelosi & Obama & Biden & Heels Up & De Blasio & Cuomo & every brainwashed liberal that voted for Biden holds America in such low regard that they want the country to be a version of a socialist/commie-light county? I wish they'd all get the hell out.

Not to mention that the modern Left is quite open in their disdain for the United States. They see us as an illegitimate entity, founded on slavery, racism and genocide and nothing more. Much of them hate our history (all of it) and find nothing to honor or cherish. Much of them hate the symbols, the statues of the founders, even our flag itself is seen as an object of contempt. So when they speak of "treason" it rings rather hollow, since they are speaking of "treason" against a nation they don't respect and even hate anyway.

It's so disingenuous, it's all theater.

No. When they were up they’d ban those showing a liberal side.

Free speech on parler is only for the neo-fascists that toe the line.

Sounds about right. Russia would do anything to foster the demise of the US, and providing a host for Parler is a darn effective way to go about it. LOTS of bang for their buck.

Why don't these "patriots" see that? If Russia stumbles over themselves in a rush to provide this venue, that should offer a clue as to whether it's harmful or helpful to the US.

As they are on Fakebook. Go to BLM, any of the Antifa pages or any Occupy page.
