Apparently The_Donald's alternate website (thedonald.win) has been taken down as well.

There is a lot of speculation, but it appears that Cloudflare, the host, has joined a group of other web hosts in taking down content they do not agree with politically:

Tech companies move to take down alt-right websites from Internet

There is a war being waged against Conservatives on the internet. How long before this gets Tigerdroppings?

Depends. Is Chicken taking money from China like a lot of these tech companies?


Reddit took a ton of money from ten cent (Chinese media company).

This has nothing to do with Reddit.

TheDonald.win was an independent website. It's the web host CloudFlare that is taking it down for unknown reasons.

The best anyone can guess is that they committed to doing this in the article linked in the OP.

Chicken needs to investigate the position of his Webhost to make sure that Tigerdroppings doesn't get axed due to the right leaning nature of the poliboard and most of the posters here.

The TD SPORTS Website Admins will get an ultimatum; either drop the Politics, or get whacked.

To this point, I perceive the TD Powerbrokers to be very fair-minded, patriotic and fully realize the societal value of the level of relatively uncensored debate/argument carried on here. The 'Q' Thread is a prime example; cutting edge to the abstract point of 'insanity'.

Censorship is like taking the guns; it's a critical step toward Fascist/Authoritarian dominance.

Praise to TD.

Can an admin comment on why this is being anchored? This is the 2nd thread on this topic that has gotten anchored. I looked at the "Why is my thread being anchored" in the Help Board and I've violated none of these rules.

Why does it need to go to the Supreme Court?

Don't we always say if you like what the owner of a business does (i.e. making a cake for a gay wedding) go somewhere else, or start your own? I may not like how a business conducts itself, but my remedy is to choose how I spend my money, not go whining about it.

TD poli board has to be the most free speech friendly place I’ve posted on.

We should be trying to get the_donald posters to post here. Those centipedes would have a home here.

That "update" is a piece written in 2017.

That's not the update.

The update is that the alternate website has now been taken down.

The link is the speculation behind why TheDonald.win was taken down. This was brought up as a possible reason for it to be taken down.

So immoral. I must download the app, setup an account, log in, subscribe to the subreddit and spread the word of Jesus to stop them!

it isn't a war on conservatives. it is a war on free speech and independent thought.
