I see nobody has called what's happening to Kanye West cancel culture nor has Jews been accused of having victim mentality or rationalizing statements made against them, I wonder why.

I hope he doesn't run again. He has significant baggage and would destroy the party in the primaries

DeSantis for President. After he crushes Charlie Crist in the race for governor

PDPGuy:


Yeah. I share the same sentiments. Trump running again risks creating a perception that the Republican party is his personal property.

Likewise, Biden should give way for a younger politician for the 2024 Democratic primaries. After all, he has been in politics for over 50 years.

raumdeuter:


Republicans have DeSantis who can easily replace Trump or even Glen Youngkin

Who are the younger rising stars of the Democratic party with National appeal that are seen as moderates and not far left loonies

PDPGuy:


That is a crucial question because the likes of Gov Newsome of CA, AOC, Kamala Harris are not as popular outside their home states, and as you said, are generally regarded as uber liberal. So, I'm not sure whether the aforementioned names could win a national election without running alongside a moderate politician. Its the same reason why, despite her popularity within the Democratic Party, Nancy Pelosi has never contemplated running for President.

Nonetheless, Governor Whitmer may be the closest Democratic rising star to run as a moderate, especially when you consider the fact that she has been governor of a swing state - Michigan - for over 3 years, and is basically coasting to re-election this year, in spite of the massive criticisms that greeted her COVID-related decrees.

Elon Musk has fired the Twitter executive who banned Donald Trump as speculation mounts that the former president could return to the platform.

The one-term president was banned by Twitter’s previous board in the wake of the pro-Trump insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 202 and was forced to set up his own social media site, Truth Social.


Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal, policy and trust at the company was one of the senior executives fired by Mr Musk on Thursday night as he completed his $44bn.

It has been reported that Ms Gadde played a central role in Twitter’s decision to ban Mr Trump with CEO Jack Dorsey vacationing on a private island at the time.


In addition to his Twitter ban, Mr Trump was also barred from using Instagram and Facebook for his repeated election denials and pushing of misinformation.

The deadly riot at the US Capitol has been blamed for the deaths of several police officers and resulted in charges of seditious conspiracy for some of Mr Trump’s hardline supporters.

Mr Musk has publicly criticised the Twitter decision to ban Mr Trump from the platform.

He called the move a “mistake” earlier this year at a financial conference, while not directly saying whether he’d reverse it should he take over the company.


“I do think that it was not correct to ban Donald Trump,” said Mr Musk in May. “I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”

Following his Twitter ban, Mr Trump has repeatedly said that he would not leave Truth Social to return to Twitter.



Speculation about Mr Trump’s potential return was rife on Twitter on Thursday night, with a fake statement by the former president widely circulating on the site.


“LOL! Left wing desperation for (Donald Trump) to go back to Twitter. #deepfakes #FakeNews,” posted Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes.

In a May SEC filing from the blank-check company that was planning to take Truth Social public, it was stated that Mr Trump would have to restrict himself from using other social media platforms.

This included Mr Trump not being obligated to post on Truth Social and not being allowed to make the same post on another social media platform for six hours.


However, it stated that he would be free to post at any time from a personal account on any platform about political messaging, political fundraising or get-out-the-vote efforts.

Elon Musk acquistion of Twatter be over tomorrow. [b]The left has lost a huge megaphone. He walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink, Let that sink in.
His st[/b]atement reproduced below. As expected the left lost it hurling uprintables.

Elon Musk: There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important for the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently a great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society…

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failuer in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

Twitter is a private Company and hence can do whatever it wants. If you don't like it go start your own

Remember when Leftists use to say the above statements, justifying censorship

The tables have turned, folks. People freaking out on Twitter over Elon Musk take over.

I know this feels like 2016 all over again, and I had a sh*t-eating grin reading cvnts like Gaade had been served pink slips.

But I'm disillusioned to these "grand actions".

I prefer deep-in-the-shadow operations, like what is being done to Ye.

If Elon fires all Twitter employees, they'd be fully absorbed by the rest of Silicon Valley. Google and Meta alone have taken up a third of up to 1100 that left already of their own volition.

Meanwhile the DOJ has started investigating Tesla and the establishment are looking into commandeering Musk's enterprises under the guise of national security.

We have very few conservative billionaires, and most of them are being bombastic, taking undue risks, and painting huge targets on their backsides. When Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes were winning; Democrat billionaires, elite, and upper middle class were underground building their networks.

That support network is massive and formidable right now. Vijay who just got fired will get a book deal, million-dollar speaking engagements, a movie or tv show, board seat on a civil society organization or educational institution, and her phone is currently blowing up with 8-figure job offers. That's on top of the more than $50m she's made in lifetime earnings at Twitter plus $12m severance package. She's set for life and her kids who'd be future Ivy-League alumni will continue from where she stopped. So even if you give her a do-over, she'd ban Trump and shut down the Hunter Biden story a million times without regrets. Heck, there are millions of conservatives who'll do the same for such rewards.

So excuse me if I feel the $45b spent on Twitter could have been spent on something better. The clean energy revolution is ongoing. China, Saudi Arabia are in on it. But leave it to the Reds to be clinging to coal and oil. Tomorrow when all the billionaires, centi-millionaires, and establishment in a projected trillion dollar industry start playing interference for the Blues who helped made them rich, conservatives will be typing thousand-words articles about vast conspiracies on sh*tty 2005-styled websites and pleading for donations.

If that $45b had been channeled into a seed fund that backs conservative entrepreneurs in strategic sectors in clean energy, we'd be talking about owning electric automobile, battery storage, recycling, power plants, mining, and more operations. These nouveau rich would be the ones backing Red protests, lawsuits, legislation, and races in the future. But no, let's do these meme-worthy zings. That's how we were in charge of IBM and Oracle, and let the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Meta and hundreds more dominate in only one decade.

Now, you can't express your reservations about kids sitting on the laps of drag queens in public discourse. But what do I know?

basilico:
Elon dont have 44B. Financiers are lending him. Govt under Biden lost a propaganda so they will do a colonoscopy on him to find any crime Joe Biden style.
Twitter made revenues of 7 or so B . Definitely not worth what he is paying for. But he can turn it around, let those whose snowflakes have banned be back , get rid of bots and make real $$ from adverts. I think Trump had a 80m plus followers many bots of course but he can sell say Ivanka's dress made in China to millions in a few hours. social media influencers with nothing are making a killing from selling anything on the internet

Twitter was about to fire employees. Musk said he will offload 75% of them . Lords of the universe. I been banned for promoting Ivermectin for instance.
