He is very powerful. He can find you when you have been dead for decades or centuries and erase your name from the earth.

That was the best picture I could find of him. He mighta caught a couple zzzzzzzzs or nodded off for a few minutes. At least the bags under his eyes don't have wheels under them anymore.

 

[D-rock]

He looks like Peter Dinklage there.

For what goes on Twitter, he should have a right to limit or restrict what is said on the forum. If we decide Twitter and Facebook are public utilities then the answer changes.

Will those companies end up like Standard Oil and Ma Bell?

I think even those comparisons are different. Something like and oil or telephone company needed tremendous amounts of physical infrastructure to pull off, and they still do. The general populace also had to use money to utilize what they produced. Twitter is free for the general population. You also can't have a dozen telephone lines going down the same road in any practical sense, for example, for the sake of competition, thus the need for regulation.

Starting a social media site isn't like some unattainable task, and there are a lot of rich ass conservatives out there both individuals and corporations/investment groups that could do it if they wanted. Nothing is stopping them from creating their own stuff. They even tried,...and nobody gave a damn about it. They supposedly love that capitalism stuff, but are now bitching and whining when it kicked their asses to the curb. They weren't interesting enough to be viable on their own, and too many of them got so bat shit stupid they became bad for business for the other entities they were on. That's hardly on anybody else but them. "Censorship" and "cancel culture" didn't screw them over, capitalism did.

I'm wary of the power corporations like Twitter can muster to shape our society to be sure, but part of me is also finding it hilarious and amusing that so many of the people bitching about being curtailed by are just dying by their own swords. It sort of gets my jollies up seeing them wallowing in their own hypocrisy. They really hated hated that regulating business stuff, until they didn't because something effected them personally.

I also have to laugh at so many people that claimed to be "cancelled" while also doing things like getting expensive book deals for themselves or appearing on cable news networks all the time.

As I have said before. If they are Canceled how come I can still see and hear them?

Yes, the comparisons are different and a bit off the mark. A little outside if you will. Thanks for keeping us in line.

Hopefully @D-rock & @Supafly wont slap me around:

Trump needs an editor, but he appears to have his symbolism down.

Colorado Springs is the probably the most pro-Trump urban area in Colorado. He has plenty of supporters there.

Correct. The issue is Alabama likes him no matter what. He and the Republicans need all the help they can get here.

The one my Sister-in Law sent me back in 2009 had the same type of thing. Just that the last one was a a black blob. We don't talk much anymore.
