    I disagree. If a person is my friend, they know what's going on in my life without me updating them every 4 seconds. Actually, I did have a FaceBook account but deleted it after my divorce so I wasn't stuck in the craziness with all the people complicit in what went down. I do go look sometimes though because my ex won't include in me in anything and I never get updates or photos since the kids were kidnapped (about 5 years ago now) but I never post or delve further than that.
    Are you talking about Zuckerberg's campaign contributions scandal or something else?

    I was talking about Trump urging DeSantis to write a law that politicians can't be banned from social media. I would have expected Americans to stand on the side of the business like people sometimes do when a company refuses to provide services to an interested customer/client because of their race, religion, sexuality, etc.. So I was surprised to see so many defend the encroachment on the site owner's terms.

    I was also shocked when people didn't care about all the Capitol officers that were mob attacked. It never, ever would have occurred to me that our President (ANY) would do nothing to help law enforcement or his supporters would shrug off him doing nothing for them. I was stunned when they defended the attackers because, like the aforementioned example, the *usual* position is that every cop has been justified in shooting whomever they shot and those victims were blamed for being uncooperative or combative with the officer usually without any physical contact. It's still shocking to me how the tide just turns like that. I'm glad I'm not a gambler. I would have lost the farm on that. I still can't believe it.
    He does. I know one guy that was at the riot and he is one of the conduits to getting Trump's statements out there. That's why it's so strange to me that he's having such a hard time getting his own social media site up and running. There are clearly people that will beat up cops and threaten our seated-VP and that seems outrageously difficult to reconcile.

    It only stands to reason there should be other supporters that know how to do that kind of thing. I would even guess that some would be willing to do it for free just to have their name associated with his. I know there was a campaign to buy pillows from Lindell simply because he supported Trump's Big Lie. If you can sell $50 pillows to people that have pillows or sell a widespread election fraud lie after ANNOUNCING your own commission did not find widespread election fraud...you can find a competent social media site designer.
    Your posts make me laugh.

    Yep. I thought about that after I posted. ;-)

    I will amend my statement: I am not on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, anything where 12 year old girls hang out and all that kind of thing. ;-0

    So Trump being angry, i.e., "blowing his gasket" is a current event to you? lol

    What exactly is the CURRENT EVENT here? With the war in Ukraine, inflation, energy price issues, and covid your major item of concern is that Trump is angry?8)

    If it had been an 80 year old man who had fallen down bleeding, Trump would have called him disgusting and walked away. He's done it before.

    I hope that means DeSantis has your vote. He certainly is my choice.

    i will literally donate $15 to a republican candidate of your choice's election/reelection campaign if you can find me a single revolutionary leftist who has mentioned this social network as something they are genuinely upset about.

    I don’t care to see your money go anywhere, you can keep it. Regardless I am objectively correct, but there is no amount of anecdotes that would convince you as your will endlessly play the game of “that’s not a radical” lmao.

    i define radical leftism as adherence to marxism, marxism-leninism, maoism, stalinism, hoxhaism, sukarnoism, anarcho-communism, syndicalism, socialist pan-arabism, and adjacent ideologies adhering to most or all of the tenets of socialism or communism as advocated by marx and/or engels. this is a standard definition used in political science. if you are actually "objectively correct" you will easily be able to find a single example of someone adhering or seriously purporting to adhere to one of the mentioned ideologies who views this social network as a genuine political issue with merit.

    if it's so easy for you to get a single one, literally just do it instead of talking about how easy it is.

    Nope, I don’t bark at your command. Regardless, I am objectively correct.

    Academics need to consider a new and updated definition. The average radical left winger in the US would not be able to define any of those terms. The radical left are no longer touting Mao and revolution. Rather they are the people now just demanding free stuff, want someone else to pay for it, and don't have any understanding of economic theory such as explained by Adam Smith. That and promoting group thing and Orwellian torturing of the English language -- see below.

    newspeak
    noo͞′spēk″, nyoo͞′-
    noun
    1. Deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language used to mislead and manipulate the public.
    2. A mode of talk by politicians and officials using ambiguous words to deceive the listener.
    3. deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language use to mislead and manipulate the public

    the people you're talking about are simply not radical leftists. the definition does not need to change, your use of the term does.

    OK. What should I call the people that want free stuff that is to be paid for by taxpayers who work and a government 30 trillion in debt and practice group think and newspeak? Should I just call those people neo-Democrats perhaps?

    I really don't think you realize how much you obsess over Trump. Why can't you accept the election results and forget about Trump? With all of the other things going on in the world you have to make yet another anti-Trump thread? He lost. You need to get over it.

    I find it funny that the only threads about this social media site are trump haters
    I bet more of them joined it as well
    I LOVE how much he still controls y’all
    I’d say this makes his site a YUGE success!
