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

Jack L

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

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

Jennifer M

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

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

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

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.

Max DeYoung

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

The First Amendment protects freedom of speech for everyone, not just those who follow the party line that you affiliate with.

Lisa Gore

First amendment rights. And if we get used to censorship we are at fault for letting that happen. Watch 2000mules.com movie and you will see truth of voter fraud. Never again will you say Buyden Won. The real President needs his account back. Donald J Trump.

Adam

That guy that made 2000 mules is a felon. Plead guilty to a felony count of making illegal campaign contributions in names of others. Of course got a pardon from Trump. So obviously it's made as a pro Trump supporter

Adam

Again, nothing about the question is about voting fraud, yet it's brought up again. Ashley Moody, Mark Brnovich, Josh Shapiro, Eric Schmitt...none of them have found fraud or prosecuted anyone for it.....why is that?

Adam

Yup...pretty convincing https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/11/2000-mules-offers-least-convincing-election-fraud-theory-yet/

ROTFLOL. Most people Love Trump!!!! Twitter was Socialist. No more. ROTFLOL

How can you let a man that for the first time in the history of this country try to destroy the elective process? I am putting Musk at his level because he wants Trump to continue destroying the country.

Trump did nothing wrong

Bostino

JH no other country suffered as much as we did, and we were THRIVING. You're kidding yourself if you think Biden carries no blame

Max

JH, You do realize our economy is suffering due to record overdose deaths, crime, and diseases due to Joe's total neglect of the Southern border. Did you drop out of school in your fifth year, or are you just a left leaning progressive?

If you think our economy is only struggling due to death and crime yet our unemployment rate is the finally back to its pre-pandemic trump presidency levels. Every advanced economy in the world is struggling. If all you can do is blame Biden like the idiots did Trump maybe you failed school.

Max you do realize that our economy survives on immigration due to seasonal workers and those who come here bringing their skills. Also our border patrol has been doing a great job stopping large numbers. Fentanyl is a failure of search and seizure. Also max lets act like an adult shall we

Inflation agreed though its an international problem not just domestic. Borders are not just sitting widely open never have been. We are not being laughed at by the other countries of the world that happened back in 2018 at the UN.

Max

JH, 2 million people are coming in a year, many from countries from all over the world, and they are bringing Chinese fentanyl and diseases with them. Please educate yourself. You are embarrassing to a knowledgeable person.

Max

We are experiencing the results of a cheated election today. Open borders, worst inflation in forty years, crime, being laughed at by 192 countries, and a host of other problems.
