Throwback Thursday.

Its great that propaganda network worthu of the `Promi' is all being dismantled.


Wow - these nut jobs would have never purposely suppressed information on the Biden's to win an election and even banned KM the WH press Secretary for posting a story on Washington Post!

Just imagine Facebook YouTube Google etc! These are the idiots running things!

no. i just want him to to disappear into the void and never be heard from again, so those of us in this country who want a real leader and for this country to move forward, can rally around a real leader - DeSantis.
can I be your best friend?

DeSantis is Trump 2.0

For those saying he doesn't owe his political career to Trump are disingenuous at best.

Literally down to the mannerisms and how he speaks is Trump. He also copies his policy and attacks.

If Trump wasn't there you wouldn't have a DeSantis.

Desantis is great, he can do even better than Trump, potentially, but Trump has paved the way.

I don't Twitter.

If this keeps up I'd think about it.

Nah, just watch the fallout and say "Go ELON"
"Green" is the new RED.

then to use your interpretation, let's pave over the soon to be 80-year-old-blowhard with his better 2.0 version.

Terrible take and laughably false.

First of all, his mannerisms are nothing like Trump. Unless you call being smashmouth with the press a "mannerism". And he's far better at that than Trump. Trump simply calls them "fake news"while Desantis uses facts to show the media to be wrong, biased, and whatnot.

Secondly, he was an up and coming political star while Trump was still a reality show host. He was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus. He was going after Obama's swamp agencies way back then.

If anything, Trump has hampered DeSantis's career. DeSantis would be the clear presidential favorite in 2024 if Trump doesn't run.

You simply couldn't be more wrong.

How long before Silicon Valley has an alternate platform up and running for the left to migrate to?

I'm going with a few weeks max. I suspect work started on it weeks ago.

May very well. We may learn much of TDS is manufactured. However, it is correct that given the trends its best he not wade into this final run in to the midterms. It seems to be a case of "not broken, so don't fix it" or change any of the tone. Right now the economic and crime disasters inflicted by the Democrats are front and center, and need to stay that way.


TDS is alive and well. Just look at c@l and LMcane for confirmation.

And this is coming from someone who would vote Desantis in a primary against Trump. But if Trump is the nominee I'll grab my MAGA hat off the dashboard of my truck and get right back to triggering liberals and CMs

Sure, but similar to how all conservative attempts to make an alternate platform have failed, the new liberal social media sites will hardly make a dent because people will want to post things in the place that will be seen by the most people. Outside of hardcore leftists acolytes, nobody is going to switch posting to a new platform, much less browse it.

Probably but it will be fun to see it fail, regardless.

Wild card will be government overreach and shutting down Musk.

no one would disagree that Trump was important in the MAGA movement.

but if we want to save the Republic in 2024, it's time for the next generation of leadership.

No argument. You have to look far to find one wouldn't vote for against a Woke Democrat. Even some Mideast leaders.

I am referring to the period between now Oct 28 and Nov 9th.

What I don't understand is the whole "firehose" of data Twiiter supposedly gave Musk throughout the process, yet Elon still needs his guys to review even more code? What kind of game was Twitter playing there?
