The Goat Pen

When Bill mentioned Hunter Biden comments being banned from Twitter in Oct of 2020 and saying "you failed" about Twitter, you could hear a pin drop. When Bill said the exact same thing about the Wuhan lab discussions being banned with a "you failed" another pin could be heard dropping. Everyone in the audience knew that what Bill said was correct. But every single person in the audience (and his panel) were paranoid that if those stories were allowed to come to light (at the time they were tweeted) maybe Biden loses and Trump wins. And that is a non-starter for every single person in that studio. And not one of them was man enough to admit that.

The panel does NOT like free speech if such speech has any shot of empower politicians that they don't like.

FDA is moving to ban menthol cigarettes. That would've chapped my ass if they had done that when I used to smoke...

I love how Republicans are pointing to the Afghanistan withdrawal as a black eye for Biden. Total car salesmen.

Denorex dandruff shampoo will do that too. The tingle tells you it's working...

Gotta keep the scalp in shape...

It won't work. Elon has a high likeability with the younger crowd.

Why are leftists mad?

They want Twitter to continue to ban Trump, to ban discussion about Hunter Biden, and to continue to ban any discussion about covid coming from a lab in Wuhan. The lefties do not want free speech. With Elon in charge, these restrictions to speech may be lifted. That is what makes them mad.

As long as it's true go ahead and post it. I don't care. Republicans can't do that.

There has never ever been, a left-of-center speaker invited to give a speech (or a debate) at any university campus, where the right-of-center students have protested and #Cancelled the left-of-center speaker. Never. What they want to do is let he or she speak and debate the person. They don't want to #Cancel them. They want to argue with them.

All this angst at Twitter rat, all of it, is that the people in positions of power and authority at Twitter may no longer be able to #Cancel speech and tweets that they don't like. That is really all this is. If you are hell bent on #Cancelling, you don't want to debate/argue. You just want to shut down the whole discussion. You don't want anyone else to hear it (and maybe start to think.)

Meh. Doesn't concern me.

The Young Republican uptight asshole brigade constantly tried to disrupt any speaker with whom they did not agree when I was at Carolina.

They wanted to ARGUE with them. Disrupt (your word) = argue. They #Cancelled none.

There in lies the difference, counsellor.

Trump has said he's not going back on Twitter even if allowed. He's got his own platform now, I doubt his investors would want him ditching their new platform for a rival platform. Of course, Trump doesn't give a shit about his investors...
