It was a LOT more than a select few, and they were most certainly in a restricted area they have NO right to be.  It's a federal crime, and a W.V. state rep is facing a sentence of up to 10 years for it.  You then go on to talk about truth and legitimacy.  What could be more true or legitimate than the laws of the USA??  Law and order remember??  C'mon it wasn't that long ago, surely you remember Lastly, a blatant lie is not a dissenting voice.  Trumps gone, and so are the alternative facts

They are allowed to protest in DC, the few went over the line and broke in, I will agree with that. 
 

Black Lives Matter/Antifa were able to breaking and loot areas without getting areested, throw crude incendiary  divorces at federal buildings etc and officers stood idly by all year. The absolute majority of people were just there to take up space and show their distaste peacefully and then go home as you saw them disperse peacefully. Stop playing your overlords games with the hateful rhetoric. If they were of differing melanin, your stance would be 100 percent the opposite.

Stop with your bull####, how many pipe bombs were disarmed in BLM? How many people died that were not direct effect of Proud Boys terrorism?

 

Sucks that you are just a ham sandwich with no real reason to be angry other than your presidents attempt to control the media with his propaganda has failed. People realized it wasn't fake media... It was a fake Trump.

We still don’t know who planted those first of all, I’ll reserve judgement on those until I hear who it was. There were explosive divices used all summer with Antifa and BLM, you obviously have your head in the sand. Molotov cocktails, ironically for those who understand history, were the most widely used.

We do know who planted those... Stop being ignorant tot he situation.

 

 

You are angry that Trump can no longer use the media as a propaganda tool to destroy democracy.

Trump thought he could control this country and bring in a totalitarian government. 

He didn't realize that democracy does not allow fear to ruin it. 

 

This is why you nutbags are now leaving the Billsfans.com (a fear mongering website that only allows like minded crazies) b.c you do not like that people are happy and confident in the American future once again and it now scares you.

Oh who?  I didn’t realize they had identified them. Or are you saying we need to assume? We know what that makes you and people who think like you. 
 

Again, I could care less about Trump, he’s not what this is about. You’re playing a disingenuous game when you keep trying to paint me as a blind Trump supporter. You know it too, par for the course. The only thing you have is character assasination.

 

it’s about infringement of our speech as American citizens. The silencing of one voice hurts everyone. That’s what this is about. Today, people are all to happy to see people being silenced. This is the canary in the coal mine and people are all to happy to go along for a quick dopamine rush. This is the REAL threat to our country but no one sees it on the left and now some on the right. It’s a very scary time for everyday citizens.

 

Think rationally how far this can go. Now media and government feel emboldened to silence those they disagree with, do you think it will stop with those you deem as Trumpists? Be honest.

You are scared that the things you thought were fake media ended up just being a fake Trump.

 

 

This is not infringement of speech, you have the freedom to use whatever platform you want but you are responsible for the words you say on those platforms. And when you break those rules you get banned, no different than this site. Billsfans.com doesn't even do that they will just ban you as they do not want people to think differently than them.

 

You don't understand the things you say but it's b.c you have been brainwashed.

“a fear mongering website that only allows like minded crazies”. Do you not understand the irony of your statement? It’s galling! This is a VERY BAD thing. They will now go underground where we can’t see them, be more polarized, feel more attacked. Ideologies don’t just go away because you silenced them. That’s why mass genocides happen, trying to kill those with different ideologies in hopes of squashing that mindset. 
 

The dangerous ideologies will only fester and get worse if you cancel them and they can’t see differing viewpoints that may have swayed them in a different direction. This is dangerous!

They have already gone underground more than a month ago.

 

You are not understanding how responsibility for the things you say works. The FBI is watching them do not worry.

 

Who is this you? I have no control on Bilslfans.com that is DR that bans everyone without allowing differing viewpoints. Go talk to him, you are on the wrong forum.

You are angry at the wrong people... Trump is the one who tried to suppress the truth by using the fake media agenda anytime the truth about him would pop up. 

You have a problem with Trump and DR but don't realize it.

Again, never addressing the issue just labeling, “brainwashed”. You embody the problem with this country. 
 

I understand private companies, they can do as they choose. However, they are also gate keeping which means they are publishers and should be treated as such.

 

What do you do when the machine is now silencing the competition which they are trying to do? You can’t say they are a private company and then say go to another place and government is over reaching to kill that place too.

You need to talk to the people who are the problem, go talk to Trump and DR.

 

If they were silencing the competition they would have done it to Trump long ago, instead they waiting until he created terrorism in our Capitol and finally said enough was enough. 

 

They actually waited too long and the damage was done.

No you do not understand. Words are not violence. People cannot be held responsible for other people’s behavior unless directly stated that they do the thing they do. 
 

I have a problem with the ones who are actually going after people to silence them. Say what you will about the right, they are about free speech and don’t silence. That’s American!

Word are when theya re used to make people unruly and dangerous. Don't be ignorant to the fact that words are extremely powerful when used in the way Trump does.

 

The Right is not about free speech b.c they do the same thing on there sites... Stop being ignorant. 

 

Speech so free but the platforms you use have rules and when you break those rules you are banned. Either create your own platform (they do and ban anyone who is not with them so you are complaining about the wrong shti) or do not break the rules.

 

You have Freedom of speech but you are 100% responsible for the words you use.

You ham sandwich of an argument has swiss cheese holes in it.

So in your words ISIS was ok for using social media as a way to brainwash people into joining them, and ridding them off social media was the wrong thing to do...

You and I are clearly never going to agree. That’s ok, I’m happy to had things out but the ideas are out there and people will decide if they think you’re right or I am. I’ll venture to guess people will align with me more but will be afraid to do so. To those in that situation, don’t be afraid to speak up, we are more numerous than the silencing voices want you to think! Stand up for yourselves and your views. Never use violence or the threat of violence as a cudgel to get your way. Remember who it is that is trying to silence a group and understand that it is completely un- American to paint a group as one thing and use that as a way to silence and attack a group as a monolithic group. That’s the definition of tribalism, the type of tribalism that will destroy this country.

 

Good day to you TB, may you see tbe error of your thinking sooner than later so that you aren’t too late and can’t do anything about it.

You hope people align with you but the fact is propel align with reality. Reality if you are using someone elses platform and they have decided you broke the rules... He did break the rules by inciting violence and terrorism. 

 

Tribalism does not fit into this at all.

 

You will most likely never see the error of your thinking but at least the rest of the world agrees with the truth of the matter. When it comes to this you are actually a very small minority.

Watch as the power grab over reaches ala 9/11. Dems and left leaning media will now use this as a blunt force tool to silence those they do not agree with. There were a select few that entered the building but many 10s of thousands if not 100s of thousands more that were there just to show their legitimate concerns in a way that is their right. Instead everyone is painted as insurrectionist, racist, etc.  

 

From 1984 to your eyes today, the ministry of truth, will now allow these dissenting voices to be quashed.  Not violent voices, just dissenting.  Those who caused damage to the capitol and actually stormed, throw the book. Not dealing with what the legitimate concerns (yes they are legitimate) will sadly lead to even worsening tensions, and God forbid, a worse catastrophe than we saw. Instead of making this a moment to come together, we are seeing a further divide of rhetoric from the Democratic side to fuel the fire and increase the obvious power grab. This country may not survive this, and it will be because of the cancelling of dissenting voices. Shame!  


WAIT A MINUTE.

 

Not that I have the time or care enough to wade through the sewer of your posts during the George Floyd protests but if I did grab a shotgun and flashlight and read back through your drivel, I can almost guarantee you were 100% on the other side of folks’ exercising their rights to air “legitimate concerns” back then.

 

Do you have ANY self-awareness, whatever you are?

Please, do find where I said any or that. Simple, again, generalizing with a broad brush. Par for the course. On full display, tribalism.

how many people died that were not a direct effect of proud boys "terrorism"?

 

the most notable 

david dorn

 

the forgotten 8 year old little girl 

secoriea turner

 

the young black teen in the chop Horace Lorenzo Anderson are the most notable but their are others.

 

can the police that were ambushed be included?

 

can the spikes in murder in areas that defunded the police be included? are they not victims as a direct result of the protests?

 

can i include peaceful protestors that were killed by someone that can't be labeled a white supremist trump supporter like 24 year old summer taylor simply because the driver was black?

 

should i continue? 

 

ok 

 

jessica doty whitaker 24 year old mother.

 

this isnt a scorecard and "mostly peaceful" protest had the same pain for the families as "the assault on our democracy". murder is murder. riots are riots. hate is hate. there is no side to these things.

 

im not brainwashed as you stated. i pay attention to both sides very well. that statment tells me you don't and most likely you will avoid a reply

There was never an expectation of free speech in this country that you could say whatever you wanted to say when you utilize public forms of communication.  The FCC has regulated the airwaves for many years.  Newspaper editors have ALWAYS screened 'letters to the editor' of their papers because they would then be 'liable' for what was printed there.  Currently, section 230 places no liability on large media platforms and they are left to police themselves.  Twitter is, I'm sure, a bit scared that they could be entangled with a very large investigation by the FBI into the origins and perpetrators of the coup attempt on our country that happened on January 6th.  If you equate their actions with other forms of traditional media (newspapers, TV, magazines etc...) their actions are a necessary part of their responsibility.  

Make no mistake, the FBI is conducting a wide ranging investigation into this very serious matter.  Conflating the instigator of this national tragedy, Donald Trump, with all conservative political thought is misleading and disingenuous.  They have not 'silenced' conservative thought.  Rather, they have silenced the instigator of a national tragedy.  If this happens again it will only be worse.  If Twitter had not taken steps to do this then future spilled blood would surely be on their hands.  Beyond monetary implications for Twitter, I'm sure their lawyers are telling them that the FBI could come at them for being complicit in an insurrection of the US government and that people could go to jail.  

 

Donald Trump can have a news conference at any point and literally say anything he wants to say to the entire world.

If a private business, (bakery), has been given the rights by the courts that they can refuse service to the public if the  customer us gay, then Twitter can stop service to Trump.

i think your missing the point of silencing the (competition). you want to enforce tos for inciting violence...it should happen. the problem that keeps getting missed is it should be done evenly and it simply is not. antifa organizers openly called for riots with times and places under thin veiled soup party...bring soup cans to throw and a umbrella. andy noe could easily track where the next riot would take place because it was in plain view! we have many elected officials calling for protests to continue..."get in thier faces" ect ect as small buisness burn and people were murdered as pointed out above in my last post. still there, no tos issues with these posts.

 

its not about free to say anything you want no matter the cost. its the uneven distribution of "tos" based purely on political ideology even when the result is violence.

Until the networks won't televise it.

And anyone associated with him and his positions (borders, pro life, lower taxes, not starting wars we can't get out of) gets arbitrary banned like in any free society.

1. Trump can use the official POTUS account for official government messaging. That's the only twitter account his predecessor used. It's not like the ability of the President to communicate with the people has been cut off. The primary vehicle for a former candidate for President's demagoguery has been eliminated. That's not the same thing.

2. He can move to Parler. He can set up his Trumpster or whatever. He says he's worth $6 billion. I think he can create that for .001% of his (claimed) net worth.

3. He can move to billsfans.com, where some rabid conspiracy theorists have cleverly hidden a QAnon site behind a fake football fan site.

I fully expect that to happen once he becomes a private citizen.  If the networks don't deem him 'newsworthy' then he won't be.  They have never deemed me 'newsworthy' and my rights aren't being infringed.

And that inequality may be happening.  I don't know.  If section 230 is repealed these platforms will have no recourse but to police ALL instances of the incitement of violence for which they would be liable.

Indeed.

 

Hard to argue Twitter is a publisher as well. They are a social media site.

I don’t agree with what Trump said or did the other day and at the same time, and I don’t really care that he’s been kicked off Twitter.  I’m not on Twitter and I don’t follow his every utterance. It keeps my life more pleasant. 

 

But make no mistake that there’s a clear, glaring, gross double standard here.

I guess if he just limited himself to #resist and #notmypresident he’d be all good.

I guess if he just kept it to harming police and taking over federal courthouses he’d be all good.

I guess if he just limited himself to supporting the burning and looting  of businesses in NYC he’d be all good.

 

There’s a line between exercising your rights and abusing the exercise of your rights.  Twitter seems to believe that they are capable judges of that line.

Ok let's talk reality in the US and the state of freedoms.

If a private business, (bakery), has been given the rights by the courts that they can refuse service to the public if the  customer us gay, then Twitter can stop service to Trump.  

Seems simple to me.

 

Simple people can't understand simple concepts.

I don’t agree with what Trump said or did the other day and at the same time, and I don’t really care that he’s been kicked off Twitter.  I’m not on Twitter and I don’t follow his every utterance. It keeps my life more pleasant. 

 

But make no mistake that there’s a clear, glaring, gross double standard here.

I guess if he just limited himself to #resist and #notmypresident he’d be all good.

I guess if he just kept it to harming police and taking over federal courthouses he’d be all good.

I guess if he just limited himself to supporting the burning and looting  of businesses in NYC he’d be all good.

 

There’s a line between exercising your rights and abusing the exercise of your rights.  Twitter seems to believe that they are capable judges of that line. 

He had the most powerful Twitter handle and used it to invite violence and terrorism... Used to to spread lies of an election to brainwash these people into thinking the things they were doing were for the good of the country. 

 

He used it in a way to instead just protest something he decided to use it as a weapon.

The President tells murderers that he loves them and you're concerned about Twitter.

Yes.  

 

And which murderer did he specifically say he loved? 

 

So you're calling the tens of thousands of people there not to storm the Capitol murderers?

Don't act stupid.

 

He told the asswipe criminals that stormed the Capitol and caused multiple deaths that he loved them. It's on video. Maybe you need to watch it. Presumably you have seen it, but are not fluent in English.

I don’t use Twitter but I’m not stupid enough not to see the reach of it. It is an ubiquitous means of communication.  Don’t downplay its affect on our current culture. And the Twitter ban of Trump wasn’t the end of it.  Apple and Google de-listed competing platforms and Twitter kicked off innumerable other accounts.  That’s a one-sided purge.  This country is polarized enough and Twitter just made it more so.  You’ve got no problem with that? Differing opinions don’t deserve an audience?  What’s good about that? What’d democratic about that? There are legitimate bipartisan debates about the reach of Twitter and Facebook and whether they should be regulated or not based upon their editorial practices.  

 

I dont know if any Democrat politicians have come out with a statement about how completely uncomfortable this is, but any with balls should do so.  This is the most bipartisan issue I can think of.

No one was dead when he said that and if anyone was it was the women shot by police that conservatives are not destroying Downtown DC over.
