Free speech has never been absolute. Just ask Musk.

Fauci was a fraud who cannot be trusted. He covered up the lab leak theory and overall, used the COVID crisis to elevate his political and social celebrity stature. Your hatred of Trump blinds you from seeing this.

Hilarious stuuuupid fuckup

Total bullshit. Trump refused to do anything but what he wanted and you’re too stupid to see the mess he made.

Owing the libs is all you comprehend. You believe ever lie Trump tells.

Shut down the economy, open the borders, and social distance and mask mandates except for social justice protests…. That’s what your side proposed.

Did they pressure him to donate over $400 million to rig the 2020 election? Oh yeah, he did that.
Paid for the polling places, workers, training, everything.
And everywhere he did that is where there were extra votes for Biden.

How to tells us you’re an idiot without saying it.

Zuckerberg did not “rig” the election moron. Trump lost because he failed as President.

He’s already failing now. The sequel is always worse than the original.

Why didn’t you get COVID to boast your immunity?

Hilarious

Why do you people blame Trump for a global pandemic that originated in China? When COVID started to spread, Trump wanted to close the borders and specifically ban people coming in from China. Your side (Democrats) fought that notion and said it was racist. Democrats blamed Trump for the spread of COVID in the US yet Democrats had no problem with thousands gathering side by side for mass protests….. somehow those weren’t spreader events.

They weren’t protest either, they were riots and attempted insurrections

Agreed. They were definitely mass gatherings that Democrats and mass media had no problem with at the height of the pandemic. These people would sternly shame small business owners trying to make money or Church gathering of less than 50 people yet they had no problem thousands standing did by side in cities to protest and riot.

GREAT!

You don't give a damn about the First Amendment.

The first amendment has nothing to do with social media.

The first amendment has nothing to do with social media.

When the government colludes with social media to silence people, it sure as hell does.

What a weird, and clueless thing to say

Why are dembots so weird?

The above is a lie. Here are the actual facts from the time in question:

AP FACT CHECK: Trump and the virus-era China ban that isn’t​

President Donald Trump’s “ban” on travel from China is his go-to point when defending his response to the coronavirus pandemic. The problem with his core argument starts with the fact that he did not ban travel from China. He imposed porous restrictions.

The U.S. restrictions that took effect Feb. 2 continued to allow travel to the U.S. from China’s Hong Kong and Macao territories over the past five months. The Associated Press reported that more than 8,000 Chinese and foreign nationals based in those territories entered the U.S. in the first three months after the travel restrictions were imposed.

Additionally, more than 27,000 Americans returned from mainland China in the first month after the restrictions took effect. U.S. officials lost track of more than 1,600 of them who were supposed to be monitored for virus exposure.

‘President-elect Donald Trump has selected Andrew Ferguson to be the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission. Ferguson will take over for Lina Khan, who has earned praise from Vice President-elect J.D. Vance for her efforts to fight big tech.

“Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump says in a post on Truth Social.

According to a document obtained by Punchbowl News’ Ben Brody, Ferguson’s pitch for the job included intentions to “reverse Lina Khan’s anti-business agenda,” “hold big tech accountable and stop censorship,” and “protect freedom of speech and fight wokeness.” The document also said Ferguson would “fight back against the trans agenda.”’

Until the Trump Court rules otherwise, private social media are at liberty to edit their content as they see fit, to exclude whomever they wish, and to engage in free expression, no matter how ‘woke,’ consistent with the First Amendment right of freedom of association and freedom of the press.

Indeed, freedom of speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or private entities, such as social media.

In fact, for government to attempt to stop ‘censorship’ and fight ‘wokeness’ would be in violation of the First Amendment and to deny freedom of speech, not protect it.

Attacking opposition media is classic fascism.

Good. These boards have been helping faggots and kiddie groomers censor anything they wanted to for too long.

That's a republican fantasy.

Yes he allowed Americans to come home. Dems rejected any restrictions

You all wanted everyone to come in, not just Americans

What’s your point?

My argument was not how strong Trump’s restrictions were. My argument was that Democrats fought them.

Again, you're gonna need to back that crap up.
