    NOTE: I have edited this post.

    The problem is that many believe the media has become an extension of the government. Your argument is a strict constructionist argument. Twitter as a monopoly (along with Facebook) wields too much power. Liberals typically hate monopoly's. For some reason they're good with this one in this instance.

    Does Twitter have to abide by Federal law? Are they receiving money from the government? Where do we draw the line when we know for a fact that Liberal extremists were allowed to post tweets with impunity?

    There were millions of political tweets over the past four years and Yahoo began posting them on their homepage as if they were a single source of credible (I.e. THE TRUHT) information. They bludgeoned the airwaves with Liberal opinions. Every day. Constantly.

    I know, because Yahoo is my email and my homepage.

    Liberals only hate bad things when it doesn’t help their cause. See #metoo movement.

    I completely abandoned Yahoo for this reason. Poorly edited articles consisting mostly of tweets from various idiots. That's not news.

    Yeah they are. They are also one of the driving forces for public influence for the entire freaking world along with Facebook and Google. I'd say they've achieved monopoly status. Theyre too powerful.

    The election of 2016 saw the emergence of social media as a valuable and effective tool of smart political operatives.
    Trump used social media better than most and separated himself from the primary pack with use of social media over paid TV.
    Modern tactic for modern election.
    By 2020 the competition was in the game and Trump was limited by his decision to focus on his base instead of a broader appeal. He received 10M more votes than in 2016 but his opponent received 15M+ more votes than 2016.
    Combined their 155M of the 239M of eligible voters is 65%+/-.
    Both have ample room to grow with social media as a tool.

    The "media"

    There are 3 million fewer jobs now than when Trump took office

    "Four years later and about to leave office unable to get a handle on an ongoing pandemic, Trump has not delivered on his promise."

    This is what Liberals support. This kind of reporting. They actually believe that Trump failed when it comes to the jobs metric, pandemic be damned. They assume Hillary would have ended her term with a gain. They take what didn't happen and make it reality. Then moron's take the assumption and post their vitriol online as if THEIR made up reality is in fact, true reality.

    This is why the media is seen as absolute trash. But the arrogance of the Left enables them to pretend this is good reporting and that those who question the motives of the writer is an attack on Democracy.

    This is why I'm still in a bad mood over the election. It's incredibly unbelievable.

    He's probably sent cases of KY Jelly to the Democrats with a note attached to at least use it on him before they bend him over the next 4 years.

    I don't do Twitter but I'd love it if someone out there has a compilation of all the tweets extolling the virtues of rioting over the last 6 months.

    Lady G is the most flaky, changing directions person in politics in forever.

    I used Yahoo mail and as my homepage when I got on the internet in the 90's until about 10 years ago when I realized they were parroting the liberal cult. At one point I had a paid Yahoo business site. I have moved anything important to protonmail or my website mail. I still use yahoo mail when I have to register for some site that might spam me or hack me.

    The difference is that there are MULTIPLE social media options. Parler is a great example.

    Parler is under attack as well from the left.

    Antifa can still organize violence on Twitter. China celebrates brain washing and concentration camps on Twitter. Islamists still foment jihad on Twitter.

    Twitter isn't righteous they are warriors for injustice.

    Bubba and Seattle as true communists still showing their true color. Red.

    Parler and Gab have already been banned by Google and Apple IOS. Amazon is cutting off servers to Parler tomorrow at midnight. Parler will set up their own infrastructure. Free speech will find a way. Awful viewpoints will be included. That's the price of freedom. The other choice is slavery. Have fun Left. Your overlords won't go easy on you.

    FYI, you can still download Parler and Gab apps from apk files. I did off of DuckDuckGo browser.

    I seriously hope people who voted for Biden and defend them on here suffer greatly. And, I mean painful mental, financial, and physical suffering. No amount of karma is too great for the evil of voting for them and what they stand for.

    I hope I'm not being too ambiguous on how I feel about them. I will not have pity on any of them.

    Yeah always took Bubba kinda easily but his sending money to Stacy Abrams clinched it for me. It’s usually some something that is just too much. I mean when it comes to contesting elections it’s like - pot meet kettle - on that issue, and he contributed to her?? Too much for me. Contributing to Biden or even just the party knowing his leanings, I could see - but her?
    And before you go off Bubba no I do not think for a minute you need or care about my opinions I just felt like expounding,,,,,,so I did.

    I just noticed that I cannot get into Parler through Edge - credentials have been saved, click enter and I get "Wait before next action" nothing happens. I use the same credentials in Chrome and can get in. For now.

    There are multiple browsers you can use if Chrome goes bad too. There is going to be shift in technology as many of us move to free speech platforms.

    You should hire Stacy Abrams as the horns head coach. She gets **** done.

    And that’s your last straw?
