Hmm sounds like a racist question.

Yep. That. When those you’re debating are as disingenuous as you two are proving to be, the work is always a waste of time. Because the outcome is always the same.

I’d gladly throw the Saudi regime in a pit of fire.
Do you have a response to the question Bruce?

The ones promoting his rally on the 6th and the march on the capitol where violence occurred and someone died, at a guess. Justified banning without any of that anyway, the stolen election shtick and calling the other side cheats and liars en masse for 2 solid months was enough imo.
You don't get to post like he did over an extended period then just wash your hands of the end result.
Now then - Waters?

Specifically?
Dems incited riots
Did they?
Yep, here's the article
Can you point to where in that article the dems incited riots?
(while rambling about leg work and evidence, no less
)Now thats disingenuous.
Christ
I'm not really keen to pore over 2 months of Donnie's dribble. Is it your contention that he never promoted his rally, never mentioned the event on Jan 6 and never called the other side cheats and liars? Context.
Generally its on the person making the claim to establish the evidence, that being in this case that Trump and democrats have both carried out similar actions but only Trump was banned. Can you point me to any of Waters' or other democrat tweets or actions in this sphere that might back up your claim?

Musk's twitter feed will be as much fun reading as Trump's was.
Here is his latest (now deleted). Looking forward to the advertisers that will think Twitter is not for them.
Just three days after Elon Musk bought Twitter, he posted a tweet promoting the baseless allegation that Paul Pelosi, the husband of the speaker of the House, who was assaulted on Friday at the couple’s home, had been drunk and in a fight with a male prostitute.
The police found Paul Pelosi, 82, attacked with a hammer inside his home by a man, David DePape, who had entered through the back door, seeking the speaker.
Musk’s tweet, later deleted, came in response to a tweet posted on Saturday by Hillary Clinton, attacking Republicans for spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” that she said had emboldened the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband.
In a reply to Clinton’s post, Musk wrote: “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye” and then shared a link to an article in a faux newspaper, the Santa Monica Observer, in which the gonzo allegation about Paul Pelosi appeared.
This is the same Santa Monica Observer, by the way, that in 2016 claimed that Clinton had died and that a body double was sent to debate the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

I disagree with this - plenty of big stories have been broken through potentially (or outright) hacking or other illegal activities. The journalist has a duty to decide whether the story is accurate and whether it is newsworthy.
Undoubtedly, parts of the Hunter Biden story were newsworthy. At the time, a media class who were wrongly or rightly committed to ensuring Trump lost decided to undermine the legitimacy of the story. This included social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter, who threw their support behind the Democrats not out of any liberal or woke bias but out of business interest, given House Democrats had recommended major changes to monopolistic internet firms - changes that have gone nowhere since now that said monopolies have thrown their support behind the party. The Hunter Biden scandal is pretty milquetoast by Washington corruption standards, but the work of the media to stifle the story was probably a larger scandal (however unsympathetic we might be to its net effect of diminishing Trump's campaign attacks).
By the same token, if it looked likely that Trump was going to return to power in 2024, there is no doubt those giants who blocked him out of a matter of principle would happily re-platform him, even before Musk did this. We know they work with the Israeli Government to censor stories of atrocities in Palestine and worked with the Indian Government to suppress the farmers' movement from coordinating their actions. I struggle to believe Musk would be any better on this than previous owners, but even if he was I don't see how hoping for a magnanimous billionaire to take ownership of these platforms is the answer to dealing with these issues, but then neither is denying that there are problems with how they arbitrarily censor.
Also is this the kind of champagne comedy we're missing out on when the right have their comedic wings clipped?

I 100% agree with you. Hacking per se is no reason to ‘censor’ something but this hunter stuff was such transparent bullshit it wasnt bothersome.
Profit centric media platforms want nothing to do with MAGA anymore. This is why they fee censored.

Nothing compared to my playful reference (as a man of Italian heritage mind you) to a famous line in an Australian movie which earned 3 weeks.
