    Summary: A bunch of dem crazies were chimping out outside McConnell's home. Someone recorded one of them, who happens to be a local political activist, making vile threats about McConnell getting killed. The vid went viral and McConnell's campaign posted it on its twitter page.

    Twitter demanded that it be taken down, the campaign refused and was suspended.

    This was a factual, newsworthy event that involved threats against the Senate Majority Leader and twitter insisted it be hushed up. That is the long and short of it.

    Maybe republicans get the message now. Many of them were ok with social media censorship of conservatives ("private companies", etc) when it was Alex Jones or other figures they saw as threats. This was the number two figure in the republican party. Let that sink in.

    Clearly this was a trial balloon. Twitter and its evil CEO Jack Dorsey desperately want to close down Trump's account but are wary of doing so because of the expected backlash. They've already silenced many figures on the right, in conjunction with the equally evil Facebook and Google. So they start with McConnell. If they can shut down the guy who controls laws that might regulate them, they can do pretty much anything they want.

    Twitter suspended the re-election campaign account of the Senate majority leader today. Just think about it. In one stroke, Twitter has destroyed years of lobbying efforts by Big Tech which claimed there was no bias against conservatives.

    It isn't enough to Free @Team_Mitch, the time has come for @realDonaldTrump and @HawleyMO to start a crackdown on the tech companies. Google and Twitter aren't just exhibiting anti conservative bias, they are actively trying to help Dems win in 2020.

    They said it was for McConnell's safety that they wanted the video removed They could have removed the video and not my tweet Keep in mind, Twitter allowed (#)MassacreMitch to trend on the platform for days and there are multiple tweets on this platform that list where he lives

    Good luck.

    Should be fun.

  7. Maybe it is time for industry specific taxes and product use restrictions on Government computers as a start. Maybe no Government contracts for Twitter advertisers as well. I’m sure Twitter has either directly or indirectly income tax and other laws. Perhaps a disgruntled Twitter employee will come forward. Perhaps we can look for them like the Democrats do when they are looking for dirt on their political opponents. Maybe an executive order or two on Twitter would be appropriate. Maybe an FCC Twitter licensing review is in order. Perhaps Twitter and other large tech companies are displaying monopolistic behaviors and need to be either heavily regulated, broken up, and or have a third party management oversight committee with Twitter policy review authority.

    Personally, I really don’t like the Government going heavy handed unless specific, reasonable laws are broken. It may be time for an official US Government News channel where each major Party, industry groups, and the public are provided with time to voice their opinions to the public.

    If or when the DemoSocialists regain the Executive Branch, our Constitutionally guaranteed rights will be moot. This is last call for those who understand the value of, and appreciate their freedom.
     
  8. The obvious solution is to treat these heavily subsidized social media monopolists as public utilities and require them to offer their services on a non-discriminatory basis.
