Trump, Sidney Powell, and Michael Flynn are all permanently suspended from Twitter. Parler has been removed by the Google Play store and Apple is hot on their heels.

Had Trump been willing to tell the truth and not incited riots he would have kept his account. That you are quoting Niemoller to describe the fact that social media has finally decided to stop being the megaphone for his delusional , and sometimes, traitorous rants speaks to a bit of tone deafness on your part. In fact, given that Trump and his acolytes insulted everyone that disagreed with them and restricted access to members of the press corp that they did not like, that quote describes the Trump presidency and the silence from the gutless, spineless Republican Party. The Hill has an article about how they are questioning their decision not to rein Trump in earlier. Way too little to late.
We somehow survived Tipper Gore melting down over "Darling Nikki;" Charlton Heston, while fully supporting the 2nd Amendment and repping the NRA, calling for the banning and cancelling of Ice-T; a conservative judge signing an arrest warrant in Florida for Luther Campbell over performing his songs in an over-21 night club and another ruling the performance of his music to be an actual crime; and, of course, the decades old GOP war on the porn industry.
I think we will survive a few conspiracy theorists calling for the overthrow of the United States government being kicked off Twitter.
Maybe Sydney Powell will finally "release the Kraken," and reveal, "the goods," about the 2020 election when she goes to court this time.
@Mac9192 , any thoughts? Also, do you have any comment about your stellar source of Antifa information, Pastor Mark Burns?
I don’t think Sydney Powell is going to do much of anything since she’s being sued by Dominion for defamation (1.3 billion in damages! HAHA). Maybe Donald will help her with that one? The chickens have finally come home to roost for these losers.
Concerning social media, does anyone else find it ironic that Republicans are suddenly calling for a government takeover of a private enterprise?

It's not often you help to educate me about something, but here we are. Thank you.
For the record, I don't mean by the providing of a 73 second clip from a Malcolm X speech.
Your post made me do a couple random searches and I found several articles, including this:
Here is an excerpt:
"In the wake of divisiveness over COVID-19, and the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, & Rashard Brooks, and the protests & riots taking place across the nation, social media has exploded with posts citing quotes from Civil Rights activists Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.
There’s a major problem with this. Nearly all of these posted quotes have nothing to do with the calls for much-needed structural reform, or an end to systemic racism, or wealth inequality, or oppression that MLK & Malcolm X fought so hard for. Instead, they’re supplements to talking points, more often than not from MAGA followers & right-wing think tanks, sometimes even from liberal sympathizers, to somehow justify 45’s sentiments, or lack thereof, undermine protests, and condemn riots.
It’s getting annoying, especially because it’s quite clear that these quote-spammers honestly have no clue about the real Dr. King and Malcolm X. To assume knowledge of their messages’ intended purposes simply by how they were delivered is pure ignorance. It also undermines the message, itself."
Until your post this morning, I was unaware that the use of random Malcolm X quotes by Trump supporters to justify their actions is even a thing. Apparently it is, though, as this article was written six months ago and here you are doing it this morning.
It's actually a very insulting thing, but maybe it will lead you to take an interest in Malcolm X and read or listen to some of his speeches.
Atta boy Rev. My point, which you were your crafty self and ignored (no surprise there), was the reference to the media.
Like I said, and read slowly Rev and let it soak in, what he said is as true now as it was then.
You preach all the time about your questions not getting answered, which is ********. Yet, a simple point was made in a video, and what do you do? You mention Covid, riots... but never bring up what the man in the video says. What would you say if you posted a video on Covid and I brought up oil prices?

Do you think Malcolm X would have found value or seen credibility in Tucker Carlson or Newsmax?
Do you think Malcolm X would have supported the beliefs and actions of Donald Trump?
Do you think Malcolm X would have agreed with your assessment that minorities are incapable of thinking for themselves?
By the way, are you going to share your opinions on what I posted yesterday about your credible source of information?
Do you think Sydney Powell will reveal all the facts she possesses about election rigging during her defamation trial?
My post wasn't about Covid. It contained a quote from an article about people, specifically Trump supporters like yourself, misappropriating Malcolm X quotes.
Since it is important to you, yes, I do agree with Malcolm's statements regarding portrayal of Black Americans in 1965. The media has spent decades (centuries) shaping the views and stoking the fears of white people when it comes to Blacks. Only in relatively recent years, when the media has become less white, has that tactic begun to somewhat change.

There has been a lot of talk over the past few weeks, some directly from Trump himself, about the possibility of him endorsing primary challengers to GOP officials who didn't support his January 6 congressional objections.
In an attempt to start a non-confrontational discussion, how do folks here see that playing out?

“Very fine people”
“We love you”
This is what you enabled Trump supporters. It was always going to end this way.

I don't know if his story is true. The article leaves out that this "admission," took place while D'Elia (or D'Elio, the quality reporter you cite goes back and forth between the two names throughout the article) was appearing in court after being arrested and charged with separate hacking crimes that attacked Leonardo, an Italian Defense Company.
It appears Mr. D'Elia (or D'Elio) just offered up this information once he was charged with these other crimes.
By the way, I'm not familiar with the Insurance Journal, but that article is a Reuters article, so I felt comfortable posting it.
By "special forces," is he referring to one of the various special forces units of the United States military?
I think so. I have heard that several laptops were taken. I’m not a fan of whoever did the video, he has misleading titles, but I just thought it was an interesting take from the LT General.
And fwiw, it relates to the video I posted of Italy and the votes, but I’ve heard the ambassador to Italy was arrested the other day. Don’t know if true.
Why would you post anything that you couldn’t verify to be true? Do you enjoy spreading misinformation?
Unless you see it live with your own eyes, that’s all any of us do. We post what we read or watch on video. I don’t post everything I see or read. But, a Lt General saying laptops were taken possibly isn’t misinformation. Pelosi’s staff admitted it.
You obviously don’t read back what you post. Every posts of yours is misinformation.
Maxine was wrong, get what she meant, show them that you aren't happy with what they are doing....the others were talking about non violent protests in regards to social injustice and police brutality
Both protests seeked to change the system. Both are regarded as rooted in conspiracies.
Are you saying you feel that protests against police brutality and the disproportionate rate at which unarmed Black males are killed along with the high likelihood that the offending officers will be criminally punished are/were based are rooted in conspiracy theories?
