    It needs to keep being said; every "free speech absolutist/radical" who ever drew breath is a fucking liar.

    Yes, far easier to let YouTube's algorithm feed you your shit than to do your own research, or even rely on your own memory.

    I'm not even sure if it was said in this thread. Sorry Mr. Data, I don't have an encyclopedic memory like you.

    Elon's handing out blue checks to celebrities against their will. Some lawyer friends said it might be a no-no because it makes it seem like those celebrities are endorsing Twitter Blue, even though they are very clearly against subscribing, and some are actively telling him to stop, which he is ignoring. So it's kind of fascinating to watch him just fuck himself over six ways from Sunday. What a fucking mess.

    This is going to make Donald Trump angry, because there's no way he agreed to this, as he swore he'd never be back and he still promotes his own social media outlet.

    Trump's contractually prohibited on using Twitter until later this year (part of his deal with Truth Social), so I don't expect him to return to the platform any time soon, if ever.

    What I can see happening is that once his contractual obligations are finished, his staff will repost what he puts on Truth Social on his Twitter account. The only way I can think of Trump going back to Twitter full-time is if Musk buys Truth Social (possible, but unlikely) or if he can spin things so that he can say that the only reason Truth Social didn't succeed was that the MSM kept him down. This strikes me as the least possible thing of the two. Trump's not one to admit failure, so I can see him continuing to use the decaying corpse of Truth Social after everyone else has left.

    Well, I'll have to either watch from a distance or create another account, that would be number 16, because I got banned for telling Matt Walsh to suck dog dick. Apparently, I can get death threats every day, but tell one Nazi to engage in fellatio upon a canine, in jest as far as I am legally required to say, and it's lights out, Columbo.

    It was worth it. Fuck Matt Walsh. I hope he gets hit by a bus.

    Elevating the guy who committed genocide, and not wanting people to vote?
    What do you need, the gas showers?
    Mussolini didn't do gas showers, and he was plenty fascist.
    Is it the Nazi-word that's making you flinch?

    It's cute that you think the word "Intellectual" could apply to FF.

    He needs the specific phrase "I, Matt Walsh, am a Nazi. Hooray for Hitler," because it's the same argument made by most conservatives when their prized pigs get called out for being blatantly, openly hateful (see JK Rowling and "how is JK Rowling a TERF?"). It's sealioning.

    Shit, you can't even pry that out of David Duke.
    Unless you're the Blackkklansman, and trick it out of him.
