    I wish you all kinds of success, parler (I love the pseduo-intellectual choice of a French verb, btw)

    Air America Radio says hello.

    Otherwise, good riddance from twitter.

    How does the company pronounce their name? Like Parlay or like Parlor? Betting we'll end up calling it Parlor regardless.

    Makes sense that they'd be moving over:

    From June of last year:

    This Twitter Alternative Was Supposed To Be Nicer, But Bigots Love It Already

    Have fun in your safe zone. I have no doubt that it FOR SURE will NOT become a haven for white nationalists, and Russian bots.

    just an echo chamber for anti-science, anti-intellectual, racist propaganda and drivel from Breitbart, InfoWars, OAN and FoxNews.

    Sounds like a degrading sex finishing move. 'Then I parlered her! hahaha! And now, cigars!'

    Ehhh...... it took most conservatives half a year to figure out TWITTER so switching over to Parler is a huge undertaking for them.

    Unless a free "big button" Jitterbug phone comes with Parler, it isn't going to be a threat to Twitter.

    Well, on one, we have tweets--often bad enough--so on the other, we can have the twerps.

    Parler twerps. Sponsored by 4chan. #KAW: Keep America White?

    Growing a beard to hide some of his face was a good move. He should also wear a mask though. No offense, @KingCheetah

    Asked whether Cruz will remain active on the other platforms he has railed against, including Facebook, Twitter and Google-owned YouTube, a spokesperson said Parler “will be one more platform Senator Cruz plans to use to reach the American people.”
    ​
    Ted "Cuck" Cruz taking a real stand these days? Nope, just selling out to the latest far-right fad as usual.

    I find it interesting how conservatives who have been railing that private businesses should be allowed to cater to who they want are now up in arms, in some cases literally, about private businesses selectively catering to people.

    You guys wall yourself off in your little fantasy land, and then are shocked and dismayed when other militant culture warriors are the only people who listen to your insane rants. Enjoy talking to yourself and nobody else.

    This world is going to hell in a handbasket.


    I worry that my children will be around for a civil war. Only there isn't a clear cut boundary between the two sides.


    We need to end this with a unifying character. Only one hasn't stepped up.
