makes me wonder what intel source skidmark was using which caused him to be 'always' dubious.

The links do not state Facebook or Twitter ?

Any comment on FB blocking Dem's ads? Or is this another part of reality you just neglect because it does not fit in your perspective?

FB has been blocking and demonitizing Conservatives for months. A last minute attempt to cover it up by blocking a few Dem ads is not nearly the same thing, or does that not fit your perspective?

No but I am not saying it is Russian Disinformation.

Any comment on the fact that Facebook and Twitter employees donate at the rate of 87 and 99 percent to Democrats?

Irrelevant, we are talking companies influence on politics, not their employees'. What's next? Donations made by Twitter and FB shareholders?

Well who do you think makes the decisions to lock accounts and take down Tweets and Facebook posts and pages? Do you think that Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg make those decisions? What do you think the groupthink would be like in a company where no one donates to Republican candidates or causes?

Well, conservatives can start there own social media companies. Baldfaceliebook, Twits, etc., but you couldn't call it social media because that sounds too commie.

Just messin' with y'all...

And I find it humorous that conservatives want to regulate businesses when they don't like them but hands off the others and don't mess with my offshore tax havens..

Heck, Trump should start his own Twitter type business, I mean, he must know more about that than anybody else, right?

Remember Dick Armey?

I recall he wanted to clamp down on internet smut by banning certain words and was surprised when his website was blocked because of his nickname.

Yet businesses have been moving to red states as they flee California in mass because of over regulation and tax hikes.

Mashable is your source?

Why don't you just go straight to the DNC for your news? There isn't any difference. Maybe you don't realize that being from away.

Anti-conservative bias by facebook, twitter, google etc is real and there are many many examples of it.

Buddahaid · 10-30-20, 06:18 PM

Wasn't Trump going to do something about offshoring? You know, taking advantage of manufacturing in the states but not basing your business there to avoid paying tax to the same.
