They don't care. You were here when Ibime openly supporting entrapment. They really don't care about freedom or doing what is right... As long as it affects people they don't like they are fine.
The left has a simple solution. My way or the highway. Ibime and Co are seriously brainwashed thatI fear for their personal safety. Suicidal when they discover the years of being lied to and believing in those lies.
You should listen to this satirical YouTuber. Mark Dice. Go to his channel he is hilarious and the message sinks in sending liberal heads exploding.Two videos. Check out his channel and you will have a huge laugh.
He usually gets more views than purveyor of fake news CNN.

All of a sudden he hates women, a pedophile, racist etc. Watch the democrats admitting what they were doing with Twitter and how they might be at the receiving end.

The left is turning America into a banana republic.
Being free to air your thoughts will endanger minorities and women on Twitter? What BS is that?

The left used Twitter to control the narrative . With Twitter out of reach now the unpleasant truths and crimes by the left will not be censored.

Ibime and Co ( they know themselves) should by now have woken up to realise that the left wants them to remain forever dumbed down, ignorant and NPCs ( Non Playing Characters).
I think they are too far gone to realise that. They are lost. Years of brainwashing about how conservatives are the devil's incarnate has coalesced in their brains.Will need a lot of mental therapy to get out of their stupor.

I find it amusing that most people think Musk buying Twitter makes freedom of speech mean they can say whatever they like.

Time, I guess will tell when countries say "no musking". But remember he kowtows to China.
His market is China too. Just business. The batteries are made by Chinese companies
Propaganda from yourself.

He called Babylon Bee and was furious they had been banned by twatter for a satirical article. He hinted he'd buy Twitter to them

The flow of knowledge should not be impeded.

No be lie, and to even think that many people who don't know what is really going on in USA, especially Africans, will always reference US, portraying her as "perfect" Civilized world. Not knowing that, half of the population wants to take US back to uncivilized era.

I know for sure every country has internal problems and there is no country in Africa that can compare her self to USA in many aspects, but damn, it's isn't as Rosy and perfect
as many political analysts in Africa portray it.

There's no single week without gun violence report on New york post site.

The only thing I love about politicians in USA is that they don't jump from one party to another like the political prostitutes do here in Nigeria.

But one thing is for sure, this culture war won't end well for US. I mean with the bold moves from Texas Governor and De santis of Florida, omor, I fear for them. Except one party dies naturally, which may not happen anytime soon,.

For instance, Grey Abbott sending illegal migrants to Washington DC, that's a huge problem.

Anyways, I am eager to see what will happen in the mid term and of course 2024. I don't believe in approval rating, anything can happen. Last year I made the mistake of supporting one candidate, this year, I will be open minded, support no one. Nothing concern me.
I don't believe Joe Biden is in charge. He just doesn't seem like he knows where he is But of course you question his sanity and no media will report it ( Maybe Twitter will report now that's been grabbed from the left).
Joe seems to me on a path to destroy America then the globalist can rebuild it. How.
I'll list a few

Massive injection of cash into the economy creating inflation.

COVID mandates to show the people who is in charge.

Blocking oil production domestically, shutting down a Canadian pipeline . Making gas prices rise in the process. Approves Nordstream pipeline in the meantime that had been under sanctions.

Blocking exploration of oil in federal lands. Climate change my ass.

Open borders. Undid policies that slowed down illegal immigrants. He provides them with cell phones too once they are released.Governors in border states should ship them to DC and Delaware or Martha's Vineyard if they so love illegal immigrants.

Discouraged Zelensky from negotiating, the more Putin stays put and destroys Ukraine the more Joe Biden problems at home are overlooked.

Wants to stop a Trump era rule of immediately deporting any illegal entry because of COVID-19. Encourage more people to illegals. How is this bad. Every illegal pays $ to Mexican cartels. By keeping the border open he is enriching the cartels.

Unblocked some tarriffs imposed on China. Debatable but I did not find any rationale in this action

Encouraging wokesm.Appoints a transgendered at 53 to head the HHS. Also appointment ofSupreme Court justice because she is black. Promoting racism.

No centrism has had control of that wheel which is the way it should be for a country to be cohesive. Social media had allowed the most aggressive elements from the extreme right and extreme left to control the narrative. That's why Russia sponsors and supports extreme left and extreme right to tear the West apart. When you are on the extreme, you consider centrism as being to the other extreme.
Twitter is a leftist paradise.They have come up with algorithms that ban 'misinformation' which they define themselves.
They ban anything against the narrative being pushed. Very biased against conservatives.

The left is insane. They are happy holding the power to silence those who don't espouse their ideals. Comments saying there are only two genders are viewed by some on the left as misinformation.

JK Rowling was not invited for the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter. Reason. She says loudly there are two genders.

I see no reason why Republicans should be celebrating so much over Musk's Twitter Take over, because from so many videos of Elon Musk that I've watched so far, He's always been pretty much progressive liberal.

As regarding free speech, is it not true that Elon Musk sacked his Worker for posting a video of Telsa car that failed?

For me, I don't think Elon will simply let Twitter to run unmoderated.
One step at a time. Twitter has been a thought police platform.
Don't know for that worker who posted a failed Tesla car. If my employee posted negative stuff about my company, I'd sack him on the spot.
The AI algorithm will continue to run, you can't have lunatics posting anything, some regulation is needed.He pledged to make these regulations more open to the public.

Twitter is now in the hands of Musk. He wants to restore free speech.

Twitter banned s lot of people.Why would they ban Tucker Carlsion and leave Taliban ?

---in your previous statements---you mentioned Trump's Truth Social will ecplise Twitter within a short period of time---

However, Twitter expected to accept Elon Musk’s bid to buy company

https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-re-examines-elon-musks-bid-may-be-more-receptive-to-a-deal-11650822932
I think you get the gist of my argument. Twitter can eclipse Truth Social if they stop controlling the narrative and becomes a free speech platform.Example They ban Trump but Taliban official account is still active. Iran gov that chants Death to America every Friday account is still active.in other words Twitter is now not a free speech platform but one which decides whom to be heard, what to be heard and when it should be heard.

Elon Musk wants to buy it and allow free speech. Twatter Board of directors don't even own shares of Twitter apart from founder Jack Dorsey with 2%. To prevent a hostile Elon Musk takeover the board will dilute the stock value by selling more shares at a discount once Musk ( or if any other shareholder reaches 15%. Blackrock ramped up to 10.something % . Who owns Blackrock?)
What does this mean? Investors buy stock. Stock price is now around 47 per share ( was 36 at offer time) Elon wants to buy at 54 and the board refuses the offer and plan on diluting the shares. Buying stock is a lifetime investment and the board has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.
But nah the board wants the control of twatter without taking care of the shareholder interests in maximizing returns from their investments.


Good , I saw somewhere that the board is willing to discuss after he disclosed he has the funds for a buyout.

Musk buys Twitter out, allows free speech. Remember that twitter bans you for eg saying Ivermectin works.

Which is why Elon Musk wants to restore free speech on twatter.
Trump Truth Social is after free speech.This scares the left because they can't ban those who don't espouse leftist tlaking points like say Gender Fluid. Today I wake up and decide that I'm female. Twitter will ban you for not accepting that gender is what you think you are that day.

After my long diatribe you do realize that the left wants to control free speech, damn the investors. To them controlling the narrative is more important than the shareholder investment.

I could also adduce that the Intelligence Community uses twatter to spy on people And may have special access to a privileged twatter database of it's users.

In other words the left is hypocritical. They are the enemies of free speech ,Elon buying out Twitter will severely jolt them because they can't invade your thoughts.

The left is on a mission?

Yes. Musk buying off Twitter could kill off Truth Social.

Look at the share prices of Twitter in this image. Basically not a good short term investment for those who want to make a quick buck. Elon comes along at that 36 mark and offers to buy everything at 54. The board none of whom save for it's founder owns any significant Twitter stocks refused.

Twitter is run by hardcore leftists who intend to control what I can read. Twitter bans conservatives over the flimsiest of excuses. Twatter is a leftist heaven.

---Trump is still parroting the same statement about Truth Social---which was launched in February---

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/mar/16/truth-social-donald-trump-failing-anti-twitter-platform
Truth social will fail if Musk takes over twatter.Twatter makes no profits, but it's the most powerful control tool the left has. Probably the Intelligence Community has a big sway over twatter.

In the meantime expect all sorts of negative hit pieces over truth social. The left cannot control it, hence it must be destroyed.

Russia is bombing the crap out of Ukraine. Ukraine is the loser here.Thats what I get from the article.
Killing a few thousand Russians and then having your country destroyed.
Russia is using siege tacticts. Get civilians out by opening a corridor. Anyone who remains is then a combatant. Russia rains missiles and bombs relentlessly after that.A whole city is reduced to rubble. Zelensky gloats about having destroyed a few hundred APCsand tqnks.

ThenZelensky demands 7B a month and more arms to down some helicopters and fighter jets, blow up tanks.
While his city has been reduced to an eye sore.

Zelensky is wasting away Ukraine.

So you joined budaatum to tell us you have no clue on how surveys and polls work? Interesting.

The whole world does not need to catch covid for them to estimate the mortality of the disease. They work with samples, those samples in many cases reflect the outcome. When its trump down on polls, you people like polls, now is Biden [insert your excuse here]
I want budaa to give me an example of a leader who handled COVID well. He keeps posting leftist rags critics of Trump, rags that have never published a single positive article about Trump.
He names a leader then we compare what that leader did, the metrics and results of their actions vis-a-vis Trump. Budaa knows I'll catch him on this so he deflects and so he will not answer that simple question.

Another twisted strikeout, like you don't think fools like you who sow vaccine doubts and decry masking are not responsible for the rising number of covid deaths? But look at the bright side, under Joe Biden over 200M Americans have been vaccinated and had a booster shot!
Faucci was running the show.

I said criminal trump was incompetent with his Covid response, utterly incompetent and he lost after 2016 on that among many of his crimes and grifts (and he will never smell that office again). He actually helped to spread vaccine hate and casted doubts on mask wearing in the federal government and American public with his response. True.
He was incompetent? Yet he made sure hospitals were equipped.
He oversaw vaccine development, but they waited for after elections to announce ' promising' results .

Desantis has not come out to affirm the validity of the last election. He's one of those who have enabled the republican supporters to try and usurp democracy. You would really vote for the man??

He has constantly engaged in culture wars rather than stringent issues on ground and you think the republicans are better?? I'm really surprised by you.

I look at Biden and I see an administration devoid of scandals or diplomatic disaster. I see a strong america galvanizing a united Europe in the face of the greatest threat europ have ever faced in the last 7 decades.

Do you have a problem with the Biden administration?? Is there something Biden is really doing wrong??
I'm really eager to hear why you think desantis will be better than Biden. Surely you wouldn't fall for all these culture wars bullshite.
You make me shed a tear. Are you that brainwashed?
De Santis is being cancelled because he don't want 5 year olds being convinced that they are in the wrong gender. That a doctor decided his gender after birth.
Desantis banned mask mandates which the leftists media don't want.


As for Joe Biden scandals. He is devoid really? A senile person. How bout Afghanistan? Americans are still stuck there as I write this.
Opening borders to illegal immigrant human traffickers. All those illegals 3m so far have to pay drug cartels money to enable their pass through. And open borders bringing in drugs. Scandal free my ass.

Ukraine. His son was being paid 83k per month to do nuthin by Burisma. When the Ukraine prosecutor started investigation Joe Biden had him fired.
When Trump called Zelensky asking him about that matter Pelosi impeached Trump.

Joe kills a pipeline Keystone XL , then begs OPEC to increase production. He also goes to beg socialist Venezuela to sell him oil.
He even drains the Strategic oil Reserves, and sends iit to Europe.
