    More likely the reality, just based on posting history, is : If ET posted it, it's made up and false. Witness this thread for example. LOL

    AP = false, Breitbart and right wing days that confirm his beliefs = correct. You know the drill by now.

    I've seen no evidence that she would do what you suggest. What's your evidence that she will?
    BTW, I'm sorry if factchecks bother you. But I think it's important to have the facts in these conversations, rather than just "She said this ...", "No, she didn't" and "I think she will ..." "I think she won't ..."

    Trump was kicked off social media during the 2020 election? My recollection is that he was still on social media during the election and multiple platforms subsequently banned his accounts following his lies about the election and the events of January 6th.

    There was a whole lot of thumbs on the scales by Google, Face Book, and Twitter. It was going on. Censorship was a thing. After not censoring in 2016, these assholes made a point to do it in 2020.

    The clementine felon posted so many lies and fiery rabble rousing posts, after multiple requests to tone it down, he left little choice but to be given a hiatus. Sadly it was not permanent.

    I never said the US should be like "Liberal Limeyland", nor will it ever be.
    I don't agree with any name calling in politics, left or right - it wasn't only aimed at you, but it featured your post as the catalyst as you seem to start most threads like that. You've continued into this reply.

    And FYI, we have freedom of expression over here, that's not really for any debate. It's enshrined in law. Nobody has freedom of consequence though.

    The free speech thing has always intrigued me in the US. Is it your belief in being able to say what you want carte blanche?
    So if I went round saying / creating unfounded rumours that you'd molested innocent minors - is THAT just exercising my 'free speech'?
    Genuinely curious because if not, there has to be a line somewhere and surely defining that is the key?

    There are laws that give people the right to sue when they are defamed. Other than that, yes, people have the right to say what they want.

    Took another day to finally get to the 100% accuracy:

    FLASHBACK: Kamala Wanted Trump Banned From Twitter (townhall.com)

    Again, doesn't matter as Harris & Walz oppose free speech.

    During her first failed presidential campaign in 2019, then Senator Kamala Harris personally wrote to former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and demanded then President Donald Trump be banned from the social media platform.

    When then Senator Kamala Harris called for Donald Trump to be banned from Twitter, even Jake Tapper was horrified: Jake Tapper: "You wrote to Twitter and the CEO Jack Dorsey and asked him to take away the president's Twitter handle. How is that not a violation of free speech?

    Fast forward to today and a top censorship advocate in the Biden White House, which repeatedly pressured social media companies to eliminate information contrary and inconvenient to their political narratives, is now working as Harris' deputy campaign manager.

    Further, Harris' vice presidential pick is also a big fan of censorship. "There's no guarantee to free speech around misinformation," Walz said. "Especially around our democracy."

    Neither you nor your criminal orange political hero are victims for having social media accounts impacted by repeatedly telling un-American lies......any more than I am a victim after receiving a ticket for exceeding the speed limit.

    Maybe Trump should try doing less lying and defamation.

    People are free to say what they want but can be punished by law based on what they say?

    Exactly like in Liberal Limeyland?

    What am I missing ET?
