If you still had Twitter, I would point you to @Andy Ngo's Twitter feed who did a great job documenting all the people charged with very serious crimes last summer in Portland, some related to attacking the Federal courthouse. Most were let go. The Portland DA announced a policy (before the riots) of letting people charged with rioting (no joke) and other crimes off the hook.

I disagree with what happened in DC last weekend. I don't like mobs and violence. I also don't like double-standards. What happened during the 2017 inauguration was also particularly violent and one could make the claim that many there also wanted to overthrow government:

But media gave that much more favorable coverage than the demonstrators at the capitol.
It's about double-standards. Twitter and the media treat conservatives differently than everyone else and certainly the Dems. Here's another example:
Pelosi, speaker of the House, claimed a few years ago that "Our election was highjacked." $40 million and 3.5 year investigation found no wrongdoing. Where's the Twitter "This election claim has been disputed" warning on that Tweet?
And that is all they should be. They should not provide content. They are simply a catalyst for people to post content. It's basically a bulletin board, like this forum, and all other places similar.
This place is different than Twitter and FB. With Twitter and FB, you only see tweets of people that you want to follow as well as whatever news alerts and trending topics Twitter and FB want you to see...but even on the trending stuff, you have to look for it. They don't automatically appear in your feed, at least on twitter...
There is a special place in hell reserved for people like Pelosi. The U.S. and the world will be a far better place once she becomes worm food (then again I doubt the worms will even be able to bring themselves to eat her disgusting remains)
I find it odd how the party that carries the most youth support is full of octogenarians who cling on to power. Biden almost 80, Pelosi 80, Sanders turns 80 in a couple months, Feinstein (still alive?). Pelosi and Schumer have spent a combined 80 years in power. Need term limits.
I think you're looking at this from a more narrow "what posts do I see and not see on Twitter" point of view. I'm looking at it from a broader boycott perspective, for example "I don't buy Goya products because I don't like the fact that Trump violated federal ethics rules to advertise them in the Oval Office". There are plenty of folks who either stopped using Twitter or never started using it because they disapproved of the voice it gave to Trump. Not because they were worried about seeing a Trump tweet while they were using the service. Heck its pretty unavoidable to see a Trump tweet even if you've never been on Twitter.I highly doubt people left Twitter over Trump. Have you actually used Twitter? You can block any person you want on Twitter and will never see any tweet from them, ever. And more likely they would be following other people who also hate Trump and would enjoy listening to hatred of the man. I suspect Twitter internally felt pressure to silence voices who employees disagreed with.
Any argument about "silencing" moves into attribution of political agenda to a corporation. They may have that or they may not, but Occams Razor is easily able to explain this as simply a company caught between a rock and a hard place and having to reluctantly cut off what was once a big driver of traffic to their site because they believe it now represents more of a liability (to the brand not legal) than a benefit.They want to silence Trump and prevent him from possibly re-emerging in 2024. If you try to kill your enemy, but fail, you'll never sleep well at night knowing that he'll eventually come for you. Agree with you that it was a business decision.
So first off, there is no question that Russia manipulated the 2016 election in a massive way. It was in fact hijacked.It's about double-standards. Twitter and the media treat conservatives differently than everyone else and certainly the Dems. Here's another example:
Pelosi, speaker of the House, claimed a few years ago that "Our election was highjacked." $40 million and 3.5 year investigation found no wrongdoing. Where's the Twitter "This election claim has been disputed" warning on that Tweet?
Seldom do you see such an information free post. Thank you for sharing you little snowflake personal feelings with all of us....but frankly we don't care. If you have some actual policy to talk about, rather than gratuitous death threats against the Speaker of the House, feel free to join the adult conversation here. Otherwise, maybe just go outside and scream at the clouds.There is a special place in hell reserved for people like Pelosi. The U.S. and the world will be a far better place once she becomes worm food (then again I doubt the worms will even be able to bring themselves to eat her disgusting remains)
How about you run an average age for Republican vs Democratic senators for us and let us know what you get? Seriously, pretty much all Senators are old, it's not a specific party thing.I find it odd how the party that carries the most youth support is full of octogenarians who cling on to power. Biden almost 80, Pelosi 80, Sanders turns 80 in a couple months, Feinstein (still alive?). Pelosi and Schumer have spent a combined 80 years in power. Need term limits.

I pretty distinctly remember Republicans pretty continuously screaming about how young Obama was and therefore lacking in experience, gravitas... Talk about double standards and hypocrisy! You have to be careful about that whole projection thing, it's pretty transparent.
