Facebook has no tolerance for Conservative thoughts, Honesty, or Political Satire. Elon is going to purchase Facebook next! He's already working on it, he is just waiting for Meta stock to fall further down. It has already fallen over 50% in the last six months!

Lisa Gore

One sided political Censorship allowed them to completely suppress the conservative and other candidates message for president from 2016 on. The censorship of Greitens Ad is a huge example! Infringes on 1stAmendmt. Social Credit system incoming. Ex: Say the wrong things you can’t get $$ at ur bank.

Jennifer M

Honestly, all of social media is screwed up. I detest all of it. But as much of a 1st amendment right Greitens has to make and post his ad, the social media platforms have equal right to view it as they wish and refuse to post it.

Max DeYoung

Eric Greitens' has the Right, to make and post the Ad. The people have the Right, to view or not view the Ad. Just like Biden has the Right to Blabber his daily lies and rhetoric, the People have the Right to Laugh at his Blabber or not listen to and not laugh at his Blabber.

Jennifer M

Just as Trump can say all the lies about a stolen election he wishes. We have a right not to read it. But he does NOT have a right to start a riot like did. Just like we don't have a right to yell fire in a theater or yell bomb on a plane or yell active shooter in a mall or stadium etc.

Max DeYoung

That is correct Jennifer, Trump can say it and you can ignore it, like we ignore you, Jack, and Adam.

Jennifer M

Max says I'm correct. Convict/burger flipper Justin says I'm wrong. Which is it boys?

Jack L

I avoid social media as much as possible, I think most of it sucks, but I guess they have the right to put up what they want as long as it`s factual. We have the right to go there or not

Jack L

Jennifer, for once I vote with "Lord Voldemort" Max, and I vote against "Jailbird Justin". You are correct, like usual

Jennifer M

As usual, Poor Justin is still all show and no go. We'll just say that's an "institutional thing". Hopefully that remedies at some point

Jack L

Sometimes inmates become "institutionalized " and it takes them a while to adjust to normal society

Social media must do more to shadow ban, censor, and silence deplorable conservatives who are biggest domestic terrorists in USA. Any ideas that are not 100% aligned with liberal narratives must not enter the public discourse. Conservatives are too dangerous. Hell, Trump could be re-elected. /s

Max DeYoung

The democrats feel it is okay to censor Conservative comments and call Conservatives "Domestic Terrorist Groups", yet they just illegally entered the White House, and they terrorize The SCOTUS both at the Supreme Court Bldg., and at their homes, with their families and neighbors present. Go figure.

Bonnie Sandker

Keep the trash etc., coming from the Republicans off. Greitens went too far. Hasn't he seen all the killings of children etc., on the media? Trump should be banned for life from all social contact through Facebook and Twitter.

Jack L

Bonnie, you are 100% correct

Adam

Damn Bonnie!!! Go get em. Tell how you really feel....lol But yes, I agree with you

Vernon Taylor

An awesome hatred filled intolerant post. Illustrates what real Republications and conservatives face from liberal minions and their determination to silence and eliminate all who dare to voice realistic opinions and concerns.

Gas prices are too high to drive to a community that actually participates in the tax holiday. Bidenflation is really hurting teachers who often buy supplies for their classrooms.

Max DeYoung

Harry D, Biden is your friend, he has lowered gas prices 60 cents and he has also sent our Strategic Oil Reserves to China, to suck up to his friend Xi. Then Xi will buy more of Hunter's Art.

Zaos Gonzolez

The only place children experience true violence is in government institutionalized learning facilities. Homeschool your children and remove government from their lives.

Adam

Has nothing to do with topic.

Jack L

"Zaos", your posts sure have changed recently. You now sound like someone else who used to post on here.

Jennifer M

No school aged kids now. No need to go shopping

He should pay dearly, and all of the left wingnuts should also pay dearly. There is no place in America for hate from either extreme. That includes the lying media like CNN which appears to be soon purchased by China.

Adam

That includes fox comedy hour too

Jack L

Comparing Alex Jones to CNN is a stretch that no rubber band could equal

Adam

It's awesome that this right wing conspiracy theorist that spews lies regularly got busted in court TWICE with lying under oath.

Jack L

This guy has been spreading false information about the shootings for years. I hope the families of the victims receive justice at last.

A punitive phase of the trial that could award more damages will take place at a later date.
