Trump Becomes First President to Be Impeached Twice

That was a long time ago. Got anything recent that's remotely applicable?
It was a contentious vote to even declare they had the authority, and because it wasn't a presidential impeachment, there was no judge to weigh in on the issue. It wasn't ever challenged in the courts because the guy was acquitted.

It seems pretty delusional to think they could get the Republican votes needed to convict anyways. The Democrats have really gone off the deep end again with this farce.

Curious, do you agree with a social media platform censoring people? I mean Twitter didn’t demand anyone to stop speaking.
I don't agree with them censoring people.
In general, I think they have that right.

Where I think it gets complicated is when Twitter publishes statements about people, declaring them liars "spreading misinformation". Or defaming people as hackers and ruining their business when they came to possess information through completely legal means, like the computer store owner with Hunter Biden's laptop. They may have the right to say those things but should not have blanket section 230 protection from libel and defamation lawsuits if they choose to act as a publisher.

Amazon Web Services cutting off Parler is a different story altogether, because it gets into a conversation about anti trust laws, and also what constitutes a public utility.


So, wait, what was your question?

Just seeing what your stance was my friend. Definitely complicated.

How many times did twitter suspend accounts (always conservatives) then later say oops! it was a mistake after the damage was done?

Please God, let internet/infrastructure regulation as a public utility be what comes out of all of this! Please let the conservatives bring internet users this great gift that is the stuff of Ajit Pai's nightmares! LOLLLLL

That won't change what amazon did, but I 100% agree with net neutrality or similar ideas.

All media outlets against him. Facebook sensors Republicans and he still got 74 million votes
The rules of conduct are clearly spelled out under the terms the user agreed and signed on to. The social platform company has clearly stated that if in it's opinion the user violated and or abused the rules of conduct .... it's hasta lavista baby
The is however a solution Start you own social media platform .Trump could imitate the practices of old time free lance preachers. Go to whatever church would let him preach a sermon for whatever donor collection/ "love offering" they could get. I know a guy who did that. Using that so called "lover offering to build himself a huge high power radio station and a huge church building. So what to a did he do? Sold the station and license to a broadcast media company and sold the building to a machine parts company pocketed the cash from his dumb donors and drove away.

Now you could the same . Give Trump your money Let him spend it to build his own broadcast empire. Of course he'll own it thanks to the mountain of cash dumb cluckers sent his way.

Trump committed high crimes when he ordered the attack on the Capitol
Here's where the feces could hit the fan for Trump. They round most or all the the rioters and one by one bring them into the room for questioning.

Cops: "Why were you there?'
Rioter: " To stop the steal"
Cops; " Who sent you there"
Rioter " MY president Donald Trump"
Cops: " You don't say....hmmm"
Cops: ' You know you're looking at 10-20. Would you be willing to testify
under oath that it was Trump who incited you to riot. If so we'll consider a plea
bargain. If not there could additional charges that we can make stick that will add even more time. And
it will be in a federal prison, perhaps maximum security".
Rioter" Throat tightening up . Sweating like a pig. " ' I think I like your offer:.
