Wow! I missed this before. We didn't even get past page three before Trumpwin's Law took this thread off topic.

They already have, and the point is now moot. The Electors have been chused, and the person having the greatest number of votes for President was Joe Biden.

So it is ok to deceive the public as long as Biden wins? It is ok to intentionally manipulate votes by limiting the news people receive? What kind of a country have we become? Have we no conscience, no moral convictions?

The ex-President seems to want to chuck the foundational document out to get back to watching television in the White House. You okay with that?

Look, there are newspapers who have endorsed Republicans for president in every race for a century or more. Political speech in particular is subject to less government oversight than other forms of speech, which is why we're now seeing F-bombs on television ads. Whatever it is you're upset about, you can't fix it without tearing up the First Amendment. So either tear up the Constitution or learn to live with it.

While I care that Fox News openly shills for the GOP and that Musk is enabling antisemites and Nazis and misinformation on Twitter, I don't want government to interfere.

I do not believe that he is saying that at all, that is what the msm is twisting his words to say but what he is saying is that the intent of the Constitution has been violated and needs to be followed by correcting the wrong that was done.

I think there may be a couple of liberal talking points missing from this post. Before we talk about the media misrepresenting a candidate we need to do a major clean up starting with the Russia hoax and moving on to the refusal to cover Hunter Biden and the influence peddling that has gone on.

That seems to me to be a bit of a twist on what Trump is saying. It appears that things were done to deceive the people and resulted in votes being given to Biden that would have otherwise have been given to Trump. It is appropriate to have the Courts decide if the election should stand. Rather than trying to circumvent the Constitution Trump is suggesting that the intent of it should be applied.

I know there's no effort to address my constitutional argument in your post.

So a guy opined that maybe we should change how we do things and decide things?

If the rules didn’t let him win fair and square, then obviously the system is neither fair nor sqaure and should be done away with and reinstate himself?

Besides “the real crime family” is up to shenanigans again! Lookie!

It was old two years ago.
And it hasn’t aged well.

Your assertion was that "Twitter became a tool of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign".

If people tweet naked pictures of Hunter Biden, and the Biden campaign points out that this is against Twitter rules, and Twitter handles those tweets, this is not a case of Twitter being the Biden campaign's tool. It is a case of Twitter following its own rules.

One wonders why some are so concerned with being able to see naked pictures of the guy.
Is this really more important to them than fixing inflation?

I'm not sure there's really a connection between the right-wing deceptions in this thread and Biden winning the election in a landslide.
I mean other than the obvious fact that the right-wing propaganda can't find actual policy reasons to object to the guy and instead needs to stoop to pretending they were threatening tech companies.

Wrong, anyone who can read can see the clear evidence of a conspiracy to sell the power of the position of trust that Joe Biden was mistakenly placed in. The Big Guy gets 10% and his bills paid.

That's not true. And also a weak attempt at a personal attack - it pretends the ability to see through lame right-wing propaganda is somehow a personal failing in the people who have that skill.

I mean, I get that this is what would traditionally be called a "conspiracy theory", but an actual conspiracy? So far, the need to resort to attacking people who point out the many holes in the story rather than just providing evidence tells me all I need to know about the veracity of the claims about it.

There was no Russia hoax, nor was there a Hunter Biden story to cover, and you've yet to clarify what "influence peddling" you think there was/is.

put the victim card away it does not play well. Read the information that is on the laptop, then it will be clear that this is a very serious investigation based on a foundation of evidence. I understand that the msm is not covering this in any degree yet so anyone who wants to know the facts will have to go back to the original story from the NYP, the one that was not allowed to be covered by the msm or in the social media due to the FBI claiming that it was Russian propaganda. Check the facts.

Read the original Hunter Biden laptop story in the NYP then see what you think, none of the evidence on the laptop has ever been questioned by Hunter Biden and it has been checked and rechecked. Even the msm finally accepted the fact that they participated in a Russia Hoax.

Victim card? I was simply pointing out a logical fallacy that the post retreated to as a distraction.
But nice job leading with another attempt to imply that not falling for empty right-wing propaganda is somehow a personal failing. Keep that up, maybe someone will eventually fall for it.

This would be a lot more convincing if posts didn't also keep running away from requests to post that evidence.

I told you where to find the evidence, if you care to look it is available to you at the NY Post
