Trump is out-spending pretty much everyone on Facebook. If you look closely at prominent purportedly "conservative" voices that have banned from mainstream social media platforms, you'll find that they are not mainstream conservatives, and also that they have not been banned for espousing conservative views. It's hilarious but a little disturbing to see how completely you've absorbed the conspiratorial memes of senile 70-y-o Fox addicts with a pathological persecution complex.

He was charged with both perjury and obstruction of justice.

So why is the free speech of those assholes more important than the free speech YouTube and such are expressing by clarifying the direction intention and use of their product? Would you not be infringing on the constitutional rights of these companies in forcing them to provide their services and products in ways they do not wish to maintain?

The only bad thing about YouTube's conduct in the Crowder nonsense was the company's initial decision to not enforce its standards, effectively sanctioning targeted harassment of an individual. Crowder hasn't been banned—his channel has been demonetized; there's nothing questionable about not letting someone profit off of your platform by harassing others on your platform. YouTube has previously done worse to thousands of LGBT-oriented channels, for more dubious reasons. I doubt you had any real issues with that. So cry more, tryhard
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
YouTube was wrong to do that to LGBT channels and its wrong to do it Crowder. Carlos has actually said far worse and actively promotes violence and public intimidation. Crowder makes jokes akin to South Park with no real vitriol behind them, just teenage humor. He does go after Carlos for his shitty journalist on a more serious basis but he has never called for violence or public intimidation.Originally Posted by Aimless
Notice Lewk said, "The left's social media platforms are working in overdrive to suppress conservative voices..." then goes on about Free Speech and Big Brother? I think he just parrots what he sees on Fox/Trump TV and doesn't have a clue why it's hypocritical.
It's amazing and kinda scary that millions of people are buying the Fox con.
Back to the Mueller report: today the house judiciary committee held hearings and John Dean from the Nixon/Watergate era testified. I've seen some clips and the (R) members weren't interested in anything but trashing Dean with personal insults.
If this is just going to be "theater" then someone should show video footage of Lindsay Graham during the Clinton hearings....to remind the "audience" just how much the GOP has changed, and how far they'll go to protect Trump.
It's amazing and disturbing that so far only ONE (R) congressman has concluded that Trump should be impeached. If the rest haven't bothered to read the full report and relied on Barr's "summary" instead, that's also disturbing. Because then they tell their constituents (and Fox News) what Trump wants them to say: no collusion, no obstruction, it's all a hoax, an attempted coup by angry Democrats, fake news! --- and they believe it!
New Ad Urges Congressional Republicans To Take Obstruction Allegations Against Donald Trump 'Seriously'
https://www.ibtimes.com/new-ad-urges...donald-2799410“Congressional Republicans are more than happy to admit in private that they are troubled, disappointed, and disturbed by President Trump’s abuses of executive power,” Republicans for the Rule of Law spokesperson Chris Truax said. “When none of their constituents can hear them, they speak frankly about their moral qualms and objections about their roles in undermining the original design of our Constitution. Their constituents — and all Americans — deserve to hear the same in public.”
Currently, Michigan Rep. Justin Amash is the only serving Republican in Congress who has thrown his support behind starting impeachment proceedings because of the obstruction claims. He also supports Truax’s statement, saying other Republicans in Congress have expressed concern over Trump behind closed doors.
And this is just the latest in a series of ads the Republicans for the Rule of Law have aired. Previous ones had shown Republican-appointed prosecutors saying Trump would have been charged with obstruction if he wasn’t President.

Are you daft? If someone happens to have a political leaning and they shoot someone their political leanings don't make it a political attack you disingenuous turd. Because if we want to use that ridiculous metric we could take a look at who felons vote for, how cities where murder is common vote for or even correlate skin color to party affiliation to murder rates.
So you're attempting to claim not a single example I provided was politically motivated or influenced?Oh boy are you a stupid motherfucker.

Actually reverse. I'll play your game but make sure your list ONLY includes politically motivated attacks. Claim that and if I find one that isn't your list is shit.So you're attempting to claim not a single example I provided was politically motivated or influenced?
Doesn't need to work like that. You may have difficulty understanding causation but a single example of a death from that list would make your comparison of piss throwing laughable. So while you can continue to play dumb and ignore the responsibility the conservative talking heads have in radicalizing fellow morons no one here is buying your bullshit.
Whats your fixation on piss when you had a literal assassination attempt on members of congress?
For starters, the fact that you are oddly variable about whether it counts when a person is mentally disturbed. Apparently that doesn't keep it from counting when you shoot at Republicans but it does if they try and kill a Democrat.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
It all goes back to what was the reason behind the attack. Was it an attack based on politics or not? Was the person carrying out the attack reasonably of sound mind or not? If some Democrat voter robs a Republicans house and the purpose was to steal shit and had nothing to do with politics that isn't a political crime. If someone shoots a white person because they hate white people that's a racist crime not a political crime. What many people in this thread and others do is take a look at a person who did a crime and work backwards and say "ah hah this dude is a conservative, see how dangerous the right wing is?" BUT if you used that logic you would quickly see the felon vote overwhelmingly is for Democrats.
Coup? You're one of those now...
Hope is the denial of reality
Dread, congress is supposed to be a check on the executive. Ignoring the Mueller report's findings shouldn't be an option, and if the WH is going to disregard subpoenas (or block testimony) then an impeachment inquiry might be the only way to get the facts out. In the meantime, it's their JOB to investigate and legislate.
If you believe Barr's "summary" was honest and forthright....then why did hundreds of former judges and prosecutors (including Republicans) sign that open letter about Trump's obstruction of justice, and Barr's misleading statement? And how do you explain the growing number of 'conservative' voices saying Trump isn't just abusing executive power, but thumbing his nose at the Rule of Law?
Lewk, you're using twisted logic to defend irrational conflations, again.
And you're using that as a ploy to avoid answering questions directly relevant to this thread: the Mueller report.
Read the Republicans for the Rule of Law link and comment about that. You can't troll your way out of this.
