JP, I thought you were smarter than this. Every president before Trump would step out and talk to the people anytime they wanted. Via press conferences and State of the Union speeches. Trump's choice to use privately held entities where he can just say whatever he wants (whether it's true or not) and then not answer to scrutiny over the same is exactly why he hides behind Twitter, FB, Parler, etc... No one can call him on it, because he won't even entertain the possibility that he might be wrong.

Same stuff happens on this site. Guys and gals will get on here and say whatever they want. There are no consequences for getting it wrong.

Prolly a good thing he never made it to Vietnam. As a proud veteran of the US Navy, I could see where he likely would have caught some friendly fire had he tried to exert the type of leadership he has exhibited over the last few years.

So give us examples of what he said that he is wrong about. Nobody else except Trump uses social media as a platform? And everybody else except Trump who uses social media is telling the truth and the ability to call them out is not necessary....and your doubting someone else's intelligence?

Ask yourself why won’t he just do a press conference.

He has done more press conferences in 4 years than any other president in history.

He has done more press conferences, answered more questions from the media than any other president. Ask yourself why the press doesn't ask Joe any questions other than how is foot feels?

free speech is officially dead.

He used Twitter so that the messaging couldn’t be taken out of context or distorted by the media (and that was smart, because no president was distorted by the media more than Trump was).

Also, he averaged 22 press conferences a year, which is more than the last president and slightly below the one before that (and Bush didn’t really have the option to use Twitter).

Cancel your Twitter account. Someone must have thought of that as they lost $2.7 Billion in stock value over the weekend. Show them how capitalism works. Same with Facebook which is basically for girls and women anyway. Bunch of old ladies.

That's always a good way to start a rebuttal.



The press has been beyond hostile towards Trump. Right or wrong with his message, he chose to go directly to the people without the mass spin he knew would be put on his every word.



Not really. When someone posts false information, they are confronted by the members. We usually don't have to get involved.

On the bright side, I shorted Twitter today for $2,518.00

The first amendment very clearly says. "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." The key term there is Congress. It does not say, "Businesses shall make no rules."

Amazon has terms of service just like very other company out there. When parlor clicked, "We accept the terms of service," they agreed to play by the rules. Amazon has deemed they haven't played by the rules. That's perfectly legal.

You guys like to selectively apply the constitution when it suits your purposes and pretend it says something different when it doesn't.

Amazon has every right to deny them service so long as they are not doing so for protected reasons. (Race. Color. Religion or creed. National origin or ancestry. Sex. Age. Physical or mental disability. Veteran status.)

Parlor may have some service disruption, but they are not going anywhere. There's a million porn sites that can find service providers, Parlor will find one as well.

So it was OK to organize riots on social media 6-8 months ago? You are entirely missing the point. These service agreement rules they are citing have been broken many times in the past without repercussions. This is selective enforcement to silence people.

Actually, Twitter, Google, and Apple accept more than enough government money to satisfy a “arm of a the government” precedent, which already exists. I don’t know if the people would prevail in court, but the precedent certainly exists. I find some accounts of “the threat of more violence” to be absurdly overstated, too. I recently watched a compilation of MSM commentaries on the violence from last year, where the talking heads were waxing eloquently about how all of the “DEFUND” and BLM looting, burning, and killing was benefitting our nation. It’s a long-standing double standard, and far too many sheep in this country allow the he MSM to tell them what to think, without question. When this love affair with the left ends, a lot of the damage they’ve done won’t be reversed.

That is exactly the case. The cancel culture and censorship is way out of control.
