Parler, free speech website, taken down from the web

In January 2016, Pelosi tweeted: "Our election was hijacked. There is no

question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts."

Got Hypocrisy?

Dorsey & Twitter criticize Uganda for shutting down Internet access and social media prior to their elections, citing the importance of both as part of the public discourse. Yet Dorsey & Twitter "cancel" Trump and are part of the Big Tech Syndicate that crushed competitor Parler for providing a less restrictive social media platform. Now there is hypocrisy

Hey. You’re calling my man Obama a liar! If he says he was born in Kenya then I believe him.

That's not his Harvard bio, and he didn't write that, but I'm sure you know that:

Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time,” Goderich wrote. “There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”

A New York Times article about Barack Obama published in 1990, a year before the Acton & Dystel promotional booklet was issued, correctly identified his birthplace as Hawaii. (

) As noted above, the biographical sketch pictured above was put out by a literacy agency; it was not part of any yearbook published by Harvard. -Snopes, 2012

Glad people are starting to see the twitter bans were a completely political move. This had nothing to do with "preventing an erection" or whatever the Democrat fascists are telling people.

My post wasn't directed to you... maybe Biden can get you a free course in reading comprehension.

Platforms don't equal reality. You seem lost on that. Maybe dems are frustrated that people don't know they want to butcher babies (leading cause of death worldwide with 40+ million babies aborted last year) or defund the police or force reparations or open borders or legalize drugs. 2 can play this game georgie.

Censorship in general is a dangerous game. Not sure how you can stomach the hypocrisy but I'm sure you'll accomplish the mental gymnastics necessary.

I'll agree with you on something, platforms do not equal reality. However, they provide direction and a bully pulpit to broadcast their aim. Pandemic aid, affordable health care, equality for all, protect social security, and revert tax burden to those more likely to afford it are what I am hearing from the top of the D. Time will tell if they can make a dent in any of that but now with the senate there is no excuse if they don't.

The GOP, which I was a left leaning member until the current disaster, is so far off any direction that it is frightening. I honestly don't know what their aim/platform is. I hear nothing but hate toward the other party and how victimized they are.

You still have avoided the question of "What does the GOP stand for? What is their message that is getting censored?" Instead you seem to be what many frustrated people do from both sides, attack the other side without any real facts and bury their head in the sand to their own party's misgivings.

The D problems you listed are not as simplistic as you state. Current illegal immigration is primarily overstayed European visas, yet the GOP makes it about people of color. Why? To keep uninformed people angry and ready to blindly vote GOP. Do you know there was less illegal immigration under Obama than the current administration? Defund police means reallocate funds from every po-dunk district owning riot tanks that they might use once every 30 years and put the $ into training so police are not shooting intellectually challenged people because they don't understand their commands. Since Reagan closed mental hospitals in the 80's, the police force and jail have become our method of mental health. Misdirection of thoughts & ideas come from the other side as well although currently not at the same rate.

What does the current GOP stand for and what message of theirs is getting censored?

Come on people. There's more going on here.

Just curious. What do you know about the 2016 election that was questioned? There were things far more questionable than 2020, so much so that three bipartisan bills were passed in the house to fund making our elections much more sucure. The GOP senate (McConnell) squelched all three and would not allow them to come up for a vote.

All this money we waste every year on the department of homeland security and these public companies do more to combat domestic republican terrorism in a week than they have accomplished in their 20ish year history

Not to worry. No problem. Parler has moved to Israel with the other US apartheid organizations.

Sounds about right. Mostly bums

I understand traffic to LetsRun shows a good income and education level demographic. The 90k/year part of LetsRun just visits the front page and doesn’t post as much in the forums.

The uneducated revolutionaries/borderline proud boys post in the LetsRun world famous message boards section. World famous for KKK like bs. It’s why stupid and ridiculous stuff about Covid being a hoax and not that big of a deal gets left up

We are too selective here - it isn't just Letsrun posters who are on Parler. It's also likely to be the owners and mods. The last year has shown that Letsrun is a Trump supporting site. And still is. Any threads criticizing or condemning him will be deleted. His conspiracy theories are given free rein. Letsrun or Parler - what's the diff?

Yet here you are. What does that say about you? Why are you so angry?

That you for a thoughtful response. I'm sure neither you nor I support everything in either parties platform.

There are some positive things that Trump did even being largely shackled his entire term. Trying to end the endless wars was one. I appreciate him pressuring our European allies to meet their NATO obligations for common defense. I appreciate his support of school choice. I personally like the embassy moved to Jerusalem. I like his support of the 2nd amendment. I feel the economy did well and in general am for less government and less regulation. I realize on this thread some conservatives are arguing for more regulations on big tech which is traditionally more a liberal platform point.

I think the republican party has strayed way too far from being fiscally responsible. I support immigration reform making a legal path to citizenship both easier and cheaper but really enforcing our laws and ending sanctuary cities.

I voted for Ben Carson in 2016 primaries as I felt he was a unifier and was not a career politician. I think we need term limits for all offices. I don't like Trump's morals although Biden is little better as he had an affair with Jill who was married to a good friend of his. That is about as low as someone can go in my opinion. Hunter has turned out to be a horrible person and I think you can at least give Trump some credit for his kids having become who they are. Trump's comments on women and his multiple affairs are disgusting.

I am in favor of a third party but even centrist democrats don't have much appeal. I mean who did they put up in their primary that was moderate?

I don't understand why anyone thinks censorship is good. Governments have killed more people in the last century than anything else. I fear big government more than big tech. I know many scoff and say it won't happen here but you'd have to completely ignore recent history to hold that opinion. I'm just grateful we aren't full CCP Hong Kong but that would be one of my big worries is big tech in bed with big gov.

What do I know? I know we spent three years and tens of millions of dollars trying to find collusion between Trump and Russia, and they found NOTHING.

I also know virtually every democrat spend four years trying overturn the 2016 election and now the same democrats are screaming that Trump is questioning the highly suspicious vote counts for the 2020 election.

I also know that liberals are screaming that Trump questioned the election outcome even though (they claim) no evidence of fraud occurred. And they blame the Capital "riot" on him.

What happened all summer? Every Democrat leader was screaming about racist police when there was absolutely no evidence that the accidental death of George Floyd had anything to do with racism. So by extension, why aren't they responsible for the multiple deadly and highly violent riots that followed all summer long?

This is what always happens in a One Party System where the news media is a branch of the ruling party. The democracy is dead. You are all doomed.

I'm gonna try and be nice because your post made me cringe. I will say the push against trump, the push to get trump, was largely done because many of us knew he was unfit to be our country's leader and the events of the last year have more than proven that.

There is almost no facts here what-so-ever. The Mauller report DID find prosecutable activity by trump. Republican Mueller has stated this numerous times but said it was the senates's job to prosecute, not his. The attorney general was fired so that Barr could be placed in the position and his first act was to redact the incriminating portion of the Mauller report, over 30%. trump refused to testify in what could clear his name, forbid other white house officials that could clear his name from testifying, and tried to smear and ruin the career of exempliary military officials that did testify. Is this your definition of finding NOTHING? Release the unredacted Mauller report and then we can talk.

In 2016 trump held a small lead with only strong democratic counties remaining to report from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. It was projected to be a slight win for Clinton. Suddenly the 65% plus districts for Dems went 55% for trump. After the election, independent Jill Stein requested an investigation. It was denied and R leaders in MI, WI, & PA immediately had all voting machine records and paper trails destroyed. This was in early December. However, Clinton conceded immediately, the right thing to do, and the Dems protest was that we have to secure things for 2020. They wrote and passed three voter security bills that went to the senate, but the GOP and McConnell blocked all three. Now, in 2021 the R's are calling fraud. There are a lot of people that believe the R's believe that if too many people of color vote it is fraud. The 2020 vote is not even close suspicion that 2016 held. R run states have done every check and recheck possible. In 2016 the R states destroyed all evidence and said, "nothing to see here."

Your original post cried "Hipocracy!" I agree, but by who?

There is far too much there for me to get into, but there is nothing that the GOP wants to promote as a message that is being censored. If we are seeing and hearing their barrage of censorship, it is not being censored. Why not use that time & effort to promote their platform and message.....as if they have one.

Some things we just disagree on. Dems have never done a thing to the 2nd amendment. Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama, not one took your guns. Anyone who doesn't think background checks and limiting assult rifles are not worth my time trying to make them understand that I should not be allowed a nuclear arsenal. There are limits in my eyes.

As I said I will not get into the rest as most are just differences of opinions or the way we live our lives but they are not GOP platforms that are being censored.

Finally, I have to ask. Did you really praise trump's children as something to be proud of? Did you read that before hitting send?

What are the GOP platform messages that are being censored?

The Rs have been the ruling party for the last 4 years. They held the presidency, the Senate and a majority in the Supreme Court. Are you saying the news media is a branch of the Republican Party?

You are lying and you know it. Under Trump, ISIS was defeated, terrorist attacks dropped to the lowest levels in 20 years, North Korea behaved, America became energy independent, the economy boomed, the stock market boomed, unemployment dropped to record lows, illegal immigration was controlled, economic prosperity among black people was the highest in the history of the country, and numerous other achievements.

On the other hand, Joe Biden is going senile and everyone knows it. If being unfit for president was sufficient for four years of anti-Trump fervor, why aren't you trying to get Biden?

That republican congressman in NC in 2016 had his election overturned because they were mass filling-in and submitting mail-in-ballots
