No. These retards frick up everything they touch.

No. It just needs to be run by a set of rules about what can be posted.
How on earth is the Ayatollah allowed to remain on it after they call for the death to America and Israel?
Just go with one set of standards. But it’s not about speech, it’s about controlling the narrative.

Just what we need. Government will crush people who disagree with the things government does.
Sounds awesome.
A monopoly with the worlds worst participant as the gatekeeper.

Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?
Seriously though, the shadow branches of government already own it.

The USPS is a train wreck.
Why would you use that as an example?

They already have and they don't want you to know it.
It hasn't worked out very well... which is a hallmark of govt run programs.

Exactly! Making it directly part of the govt means they can’t obfuscate on the issue of free speech.
It’s confusing me how so many don’t see how free we are today to protest on public land. Hell the KkK can petition for a parade in down town in any city in the USA with very little actual objection from the govt.
Can you imagine the kkk having an open voice on twitter today?

Goodness no stop spending my money. The government needs to get out of the money business. Ask the populace for donations for military spending and we will answer the call. Stop stealing my money for pet projects.

Well since the cia is part of the gov't, the gov't doesn't need to buy what it already owns.

You do realize this is already happening, correct?

Probably sounded like a better idea in your head.

Lol. It's like asking if goebbels should be removed and replaced with Hitler.

What could go wrong with state run media?
At this point trumplicans are so mad about the actions of a pvt company they want government...GOVERNMENT...to intervene.

How naïve can one person be?

This is possibly the dumbest thought that I've ever heard escape someone's head.
I read you follow up posts and you have to be one of the dumbest people that knows how to use a keyboard.
