Ditched paypal yesterday. Might have to open a twitter account just for fun.

Oh Basil (she loves a mention) and her lefties will be spitting feathers, he's already sacked the one who banned Trump, he promises a free middle ground platform. Watch for an exodus of lefties and friends getting cancelled lmfao, what goes around comes around.

Musk 2024!

Do you think he eats the Brussels sprouts?

[Sammy]

Middle ground or not I still wont touch twitter. Nor facebook.

And of course 'middle' is all relative. The only middle most of us can certainly agree on is the middle finger.

Know the difference between Musk and yourself? He has money and you dont. He is full of as much shit as everyone else. Also, now that he is running things... as opposed to last week... he is responsible for everything that twitter does. Or as the case may be does not do.  I doubt he will do anything big that is going to cost twitter a lot of money. Or now more appropriately HIS money. Such as in advertising. Thats what the ultra rich do while trying to convince the world that their bullshit is right. Unfortunately as we have seen throughout history, more often than not it works.

Which is why humans as a species are pathetic.

I do not have a Twitter or Facebook account either Sammy.   Both are the Devils' Playground !!!  Time and time again Twitter and Facebook have shown their political bias.  So I think the Musk take over is very good.  Let everyone speak, no matter what your affiliation.

You don't have a bright outlook do you Sammy, what's wrong with multi billionaires? they make great Presidents and Prime Ministers? ho,ho,ho. Or are you just pissed the pendulum has swung? Look at Kanye West (never heard of him before this week) he's a naughty millionaire isn't he?? Why can't they all just drink and shag themselves to death like they did before?

Don't you mean your FIRST date? Queenie is busy at the moment gardening, her first crop is at Christmas, look out for winter gales.

Does twitter have a political bias? Sure the same kind of bias as every big company. Namely, what will attract, and keep, the most subscribers/viewers/buyers and make them the most money. Musk didn’t buy twitter for political and/or social reasons. He bought it… for 40+ billion… so he can make money and that is all. He is first and foremost a businessman. Well that and maybe it’s his new rich man’s toy to play with.

That said, whatever political bias it might have all they can do is whack a mole. Anyone can use it for their own bias. Meaning millions of people. And they do. Sometimes it’s typical party platforms or social views. Sometimes it’s the extremes (plural) or the outright nutters. And as we see every day, these messages and conversations get out anyway.

The question is, will Musk simply choose to stop whacking and let twitter turn into a free for all. And is that a good thing for company viability. Or, since it’s now his company and his responsibility, will he start taking actions of his own if it hurts the corporate image and thus profits. Twitter is a business. People forget that.

I’m sure the right fringe nutter that attacked Pelosi’s husband last night with a hammer to the head… with her the actual intended target… followed and read many such fringe elements in twitter. Maybe he posted himself. The attacker is not dead so expect many things to come here in America.

The problem is Sammy you are left leaning we all know that and most of the likes of Facebook and other social media sites have been pro censorship have been, and was very evident during 2020 election and during covid.

I dont have a twitter account or anything but the so called "panic" by the left is now that twitter will be full of MAGA supporters and racists

That's not going to be the case trust me

Yep, similar reaction to Twitter by the EU, now they think it's not on their side they are talking about restrictions, so much for free speech? By the way anyone else heard of this?, I caught a snippet this week, apparently somewhere they are proposing banning the right to criticize any political leader. This is scary Big Brother stuff, surely this can't be right, it didn't say where, but I presumed the EU.

Don't feed trolls Baron, they have tiny, little minds that are all made up.

You know nothing John Snow. If this was some fringe left wing nutter that thought Trump was a Russian agent sent to destroy America, and went after his family, I could call it like I saw it there as well.

In any case, yes the more that comes out the more he is showing himself to be a right fringe Q-Anon believing nutter. The question will be, are his public defenders going to try and go for the mental defect defense because of it. Regardless of the truth of all that, or lack thereof, comes from them this guy believed it all. And thats the point. People believe this shit. If people say its all lies, then he is a nutter for believing in them. However if people say its all true, what does that make this guy? Seems these days, more so than in the past, violence is acceptable if it is in service of some 'just cause'.

Has always been thus Sammy I'm afraid, in the words of the Who (for you oldies) - 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss'

We won't get fooled again - oh yes we will

Lets not forget the loony lefty who shot Steve Scalise.  And the loony lefties in congress who told their continuants to harass Republicans in public.  Shows you how classy they REALLY are.
