Was he even very active on Facebook? I thought he did the bulk of his crying on Twitter.

People need to step up and leave these corporations that are funded/or fund the CCP

I for one would never work for one, and don’t know how you could sleep at night knowing you do

If that's the bar for inciting violence, a lot of liberal politicians are equally as guilty and should be banned as well.

Remember yesterday when I said you like to play devil's advocate on here, even when it doesn't make any sense?

Again, Facebook is blatantly acting as a publisher.

How do these tech companies continue to obtain 230 protections when clearly they are not operating as a platform.

Does it matter?

They've been planning to ban him as soon as he got out of office. The excuse for why they ban him is pretty irrelevant. They've got enough TOS they can use selectively to basically ban him for whatever they want.

It doesn't make sense because you don't like to stay consistent, or?...

And join Twitter? frick no. Why would I use very limited form of social media that is highly biased toward my points of view?

It was a very dumb move on his part to think Twitter is a good method to communicate. It is the poorest method of communication we have, outside of smoke signals.

You can type words, you cannot convey meaning on Twitter. Not an a meaningful way.

I wish they would censor those travel baseball mom's pictures of Braxxtyn's team and their plastic world series rings

Remember when a Bernie Bro tried to shoot up half of congress and almost killed Scalise but no one in the media was blaming Bernie? Good times.

He did it for 4 plus years while literally all other forms of media twisted every single thing he said. Are you just waking up from a coma?

Yep, alot of these people who are crying about Trump inciting violence are perfectly okay with mayors of large Democrat-run cities refusing to uphold law and order and effectively allowing their cities to burn and citizens to be terrorized for weeks on end.

That line of thinking is starting to become a little gray I'm afraid. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have the market cornered when it comes to social media and can effectively shut down all speech and communication on their platforms they happen to disagree with. While you might be okay with it, the fact that governments all over the world use these platforms to get their message out kind of makes what they are doing unethical.

Cancel Trump on Twitter / Facebook he says mean nasty things! Spewing hatred 24/7!


CNN: Look at this hillbilly mongrel mob attacking our federal buildings and chanting disgusting vile chants. They should all be shot / hung / and executed for attacking Democracy! ....up next Don Lemon on why Republicans and Conservatives need to be drug out into the street and murdered for being racist

Publicly traded doesn’t mean “public”. “Public” implies government owned and operated. Publicly traded means the private ownership is split up amongst investors that trade stock freely on an exchange

I enjoy watching some of his gun reviews and remember getting a notification yesterday that he had posted a new one.

I can't get through any of his videos. The country grandpa routine doesn't appeal to me
