Fun to watch members of the media wildly cheer Twitter curbing core political speech. Those brave First Amendment warriors. nytimes.com/2019/10/30/opi…
Many members of the media cheering this decision are cheering because they wish to re-establish monopolistic dominance in distribution of information. This won't stop at paid political advertising.
Let's be clear: if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election, this sort of policy would never even be considered by the Big Tech platforms. Not remotely.

The single best comment on this “lynching” controversy comes from Joe Biden, who used the language in 1998 to describe Clinton’s impeachment: washingtonpost.com/history/2019/1…
“That wasn’t the right word to use and I’m sorry about that. Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lunching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily.”
So when Biden used the word, it was just a boo-boo. When Trump uses it, it’s obviously malicious. Or, alternatively, everyone is full of s***, and politicians generally use the word to refer to consequences without due process, without reference to race.

Shorter Democratic debate:

Warren: I have many insane, radical plans I cannot defend from mild factual attack!

Sanders: I'm alive! ALIVE, D'YA HEAR ME?

Yang: What am I doing here? I'm kind of normal.
Klobuchar: Remember that time I'm an actual qualified female candidate with crossover appeal and nobody seems to care?

Beto: I don't want the cops to come to your house. But they're coming to your house.

Harris: WHY WON'T YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ME?
Buttigieg: I'm so good at this. Like really good at this. So why don't you like me all that much?

Castro: I'm just going to hang around until someone asks me to leave.

Steyer: Money in politics is bad, and I bought my way up here to tell you that.

The statements these Democrats are making on the CNN LGBT townhall are designed to tear America apart on a cultural level.
Beto suggesting the revocation of ALL traditional church tax-exempt status, Booker blaming the Pulse shooting on “white supremacy,” Klobuchar committing to a third gender option on federal ID -- this is all extreme, insane stuff.
The Trump campaign now has a near endless-supply of commercials.

If this was the result of Trump’s intervention—and we know be DID explicitly intervene—it’s at least as bad as Ukraine. It’s not $400 million but $10 billion in taxpayer funds held hostage to punish a newspaper’s exercise of core First Amendment rights. nytimes.com/2019/10/25/tec…
As I noted the other day, this is exactly how Mexico’s PRI controlled the press during the long era of one-party rule; less through explicit censorship than use of public funds to reward compliant papers, and punish ones that published negative coverage or exposed corruption.
Again, if this is the result of Trump’s directive to “screw Amazon” in procurement & there are no consequences, how many billions do we think the parent companies of media outlets are going to be willing to lose before they start ordering changes in coverage to appease Trump?

Equador: Swedish national #OlaBini arrested for connections to #wikileaks.

Johannes Wahlström:

#JulianAssange's "human rights are violated on a daily basis"

"#JulianAssange is imprisoned for #journalism."

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"

(1) Wut?

Twitter censorship is "HERE TO STAY?" [emphasis mine]

The EFF?

What would happen to @jack-azz if he walked down a street & STOPPED people from conversing with each other?

Would he not get arrested?

Violations of First Amendment, much?

dailycaller.com/2018/07/29/twi…
(2) Violations of the 1st Amendment Rights of people of their speeches are a crimes, yes?

Violations of the 1st Amendment Rights of people of free assembly are a crimes, yes?

A telephone company that interferes with phone calls based on political content commits crimes, right?
So, HOW IN THE HELL is it different when Twitter commits THOSE SAME CRIMES?

What sort of "legal angle" is anyone looking for?

@Jack, and #Twitter's #deranged #liberal employees, have COMMITTED CRIMINAL ACTS in numerous violations of the Rights of Twitter users.
