Trump removed.... from Twitter

"The wall" was built in 1961 by the communist East German regime.

 

You know free speech doesn't apply to them right?

This is just capitalism at work. The market is deciding

Communist?

 

Deep State is twisting the Corporate Overlords arm, so this is a prime example of Socialism.

 

I don't get the crying of free speech violations. You can't yell FIRE in a movie theater for a reason - the harm you're encouraging to others, Likewise, you can't call for others to be killed on social media because you're encouraging death to others. Free speech doesn't give you the right to cause riots, death, etc - right Don?

Edit: I might add that if you keep doing that to the same theater, would it not be within their right to put a permanent ban from you ever reentering.

 

Since trump's twitter was taken away you'd think he would have more time for work. And... you would be wrong. Short timers disease...

 

Twatter now #1 in the app store.

 

Two weeks from now

“Ex-President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.”

Yeap... and there is often confusion on what free speech in 1A is.

Free speech is never about private party. It's only about protection against Gov. Period. And yes, the Gov will and do go after you for certain expression of speech.

This is almost a perfect cartoon to showcase ignorance on what Free Speech in 1A is. Bravo Mojo.

 

I agree and it's the most disturbing that has come out of these 5 years, that so many people would have signed up for 4 more years.

That's frightening and I have always thought that most people did not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

The deep dive into this psychology will be amazing.

 

I agree with this but I think his covid handling drove a lot of people to the polls, Which I think was the final margin.

 

Oh the irony.

You tried to do it but even you could not ignore politics.

D&D for the win.

excerpt:

It's time for philosophers and "political theorists" to dispense with the sixth-grade theory of voter behavior. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that the majority of voters are innocent of ideology and that most do not select political parties or candidates because they antecedently prefer those candidates' or parties' platforms or policies. People join parties and support candidates largely for identity-based reasons which do not track how well those candidates' policies support their interests. Even among the minority who do have more stable policy preferences, it is far more common for people to rationalize that they accept whatever the party supports today than for people to support a party because they agree with it. For almost everyone, politics is like sports fandoms. Adopting political beliefs, if they do it at all, is more about demonstrating fidelity to the in-group and expressing hatred toward the out-group than it is about identifying goals or policies to promote those goals.

I am a rational choice theorist, but a good rational choice theorist needs to understand the incentives. It is instrumentally rational for many Q supporters to believe the QAnon bullshit even though it's epistemically irrational to believe it. The reason is that they get social benefits from doing so, much as one derives a social benefit from playing along with fashion or music trends, or from following the dominant religion in a heavily religious locale.

Indeed, the stupidity of the beliefs is part of the point. Consider: Human beings need to know whether they can trust one another and whether others are loyal members of the group. They need to know whether people will contribute to public goods or free ride on others' efforts. Expensive signals--such as loudly and enthusiastically expressing belief in bizarre things, or engaging in expensive, painful, and time-consuming rituals--help demonstrate such loyalty. It works. QAnon conspiracy theorists are epistemically irrational, but only because epistemic irrationality of this sort pays off with social rewards. They will stop when a new trend takes over or when the total costs exceed the total rewards.

Good lord have mercy. We’re going to compare Twitter banning Trump to what the Nazis did to the Jews, but completely gloss over the fact that it was a failed coup (Beer Hall Putsch) that put Hitler on the path to taking over Germany?

I’m tired of really stupid people. And unfortunately they are EVERYWHERE.

 

Are people being stupid or disingenuous about freedom of speech? It’s not a difficult concept to comprehend. This is how the republicans keep their base dumb and misinformed.

 

I think they only allow you one call...

 

Removing Trump from Twitter was the best thing that could have happened to him in regards to his impeachment trial. It was a real gift. Had he had access to Twitter, he would have tweeted multiple things harmful to his already weak case. Each tweet would have made a conviction more and more likely.

 

Look how sad and stupid this **** looks. All because @Jack grew a sack and decided enough was enough.

I think when it's all said and done, it's as likely that we understated the damage we let our tech overlords do to us rather than overstated it.

 

If Trump was still on the Twitter, the below tweet might have gotten lost in his daily tsunami of fact free tweets. The tweet would be in his heavy rotation though, for as along as vaccines are making good news in the daily news cycle.

I am still curious why Trump has not taken his **** show to Parler. I guess Parler can not afford to pay Trump’s price tag.
