#TwitterFiles Part 5: All Hands On Deck To Destroy Trump, Remove Him From Twitter
Twitter files reveal that Trump was not in violation of any Twitter TOS at the time he was permanently banned.
While we are all wringing our hands over the revelations of the Twitter Files, it’s worth noting that we already knew right-leaning accounts were silenced, muted, and made invisible. And now we have proof, not just of progressive activists limiting account reach (shadowbanning), but of direct involvement by the United States government.
The revelations in the latest “Twitter Files,” presented this time by Bari Weiss (thankfully), reveal a deep state cum socio-cultural leftwing lunacy intended to present Trump as some kind of radical insurrectionist . . . despite the actual content of his tweets being not in violation of Twitter’s TOS.
Not everyone at Old Twitter was on board with the silencing of the president.
7. There were dissenters inside Twitter.

The cry bully lunatics at Twitter apparently demanded that Trump be banned. Not for any illegal activity or violation of Twitter’s TOS. Just because he was Orange Man Bad.
9. After January 6, Twitter employees organized to demand their employer ban Trump. “There is a lot of employee advocacy happening,” said one Twitter employee. pic.twitter.com/x9Xty6ndYP

So a bunch of cry bully lunatics stomped their feet and pounded their whittle footsies and won the battle. Trump, then a sitting president, was banned from Twitter.
11. In the early afternoon of January 8, The Washington Post published an open letter signed by over 300 Twitter employees to CEO Jack Dorsey demanding Trump’s ban. “We must examine Twitter’s complicity in what President-Elect Biden has rightly termed insurrection.”

In-house, Twitter employees tried to bring sanity to the conversation.

They were ignored.
17. (Later, Navaroli would testify to the House Jan. 6 committee:“For months I had been begging and anticipating and attempting to raise the reality that if nothing—if we made no intervention into what I saw occuring, people were going to die.”)

Ultimately, in this and in earlier Twitter Files releases, we have an active and far too effective attempt to squelch free speech, to “control the narrative,” and to actively silence “wrongthink.”
The supposed Democrat and #NeverTrump defenders of Democracy don’t trust American voters. They have to tip the scales, “fortify” elections, and otherwise ensure that Americans don’t get an actual say in how we are “ruled.”
Everything is wrong with this worldview. And it is all being laid bare by Elon Musk’s release of the Twitter Files.

Inmates running an asylum. It’s great that someone came in and finally cleaned house. I just hope San Fran has enough needles and poop jobs for these unemployed and homeless crybabies.
Well, no wonder BigTech and The Overlords — sounds like a bad NerdCore band — get along so well.
For both their greatest principle is not to have no principles, rather it is to pander to whatever whining horde is loudest at the moment. They are remarkably committed.
What a surprise…
Lawd have mercy on the conspiracy theories over on the conservative nuthouse!
“Bari Weiss is colluding with Bill Barr and Elon Musk to elect Ron Desantis “
conspiracy theories have been coming true at an alarming rate so thank you for giving us the News that may be out in a year.
I just wanted to double check what you were more apset about?? A conspiracy over at CTH or leftists conspiring to remove the President of the United States of America from twitter. Asking for a friend.
The thing about Barr bothered me… even if CTH did point it out
The breadth of the general ignorance of these “influencers” and deciders is breathtaking. Too busy enjoying the perks of the tyranny they support.
How is it not sedition in what Twitter did to Trump?
Btw, I don’t mean the classical definition of sedition.
Nothing will change if we don’t fix our current election process. The Dems have found a sure way to win every state and national election. Ban electronic voting machines and mail-in balloting. Otherwise, cleaning up Twitter will be for naught.
While this is a story, I think the bigger story is the election interference censorship.
Getting bold enough to ban president Trump required completely getting away with 4 years of significant censorship which was increased in shadow banning and outright banning increments.
As Elon Musk himself Tweeted recently: It is not a 1st Amendment violation for Twitter to censor any user – on their own. But, if they do so at the behest of any government official, it is.
SCOTUS already ruled on this. Decision essentially stated that a private company acting at the behest of a government official/employee essentially becomes an agent of the government itself, and therefore the Constitutional limitations placed on the government apply.
In addition, even when acting on its own, a social media company silencing political speech is interfering in elections.
All that supposed “collusion” the D’s and the federal govt (essentially all D’s themselves) were looking for from 2015 until Trump left office was, in fact, being committed by themselves – D Party / D Government employees colluding with social media to silence (indeed criminalize and prosecute) what used to be free speech.
The left is always doing what they accuse the right of doing. “Threat to democracy” indeed.
Like to the exact Tweets DJT says to overthrow the government or election. I am sure there isn’t one, but it’s what they wanted to read between the lines.
It’s pure Leftist projection
Sorry big thumbs that was up vote
Papal infallibility seems to be the attitude expressed by these twits.
And yet, there are Republicans today that want to punish him, and THAT gives the Democrats exactly what they wanted.
And a fair few pretend cOnSerVatIves here as well.
And, predictably, the silence about this story on the MSM is DEAFENING, in a manner not unlike standing next to a jet engine without ear protection.
How is that not tacit approval of what the old Twitter did, and a doorway into the behavior of the media and the rest of the tech overlords?
Stop watching their trash now.
Too late. I don’t think I can not watch them any harder.
The DC establishment across the board, corporate media, academia, the chattering class and tens upon tens of millions of leftist people in the US hate DJT with the heat of a 1,000 suns. They will do everything they can to thwart him.
It would not matter if Trump said he liked puppies, sunshine and warm spring days these strident leftist ideologues would take the opposite position out of spite. We need to keep that fact firmly in our minds and never seek to minimize the loathing and hatred the left has for Trump. They will never give him an even break and never view his policy proposals on the merits simply because he is the messenger.
And that is exactly why President Trump must be re-elected for the 3rd time!
I would hope that by now all the Only Trump folks understand just how much difficulty has will have getting elected in the face of total opposition from the leftists, many independent voters and more than a few r voters.
I applaud your dedication to the man but he will face a primary. He won’t be unopposed or only have token opposition in the ’24 r primary. The nomination won’t be handed to him, he will have to earn it.
Frankly the Biden WH is doing more to support his candidacy with their failure on border security and unwillingness to effectively address illegal immigration than they realize.
IMO, that’s the path for DJT; concrete plans on border security. If he talks about that instead of 2020 he can win the nomination and the general election. If he insists upon an ‘I wuz robbed’ narrative he loses. He himself set out the standard in his successful 2016 campaign by focusing on the border and his disdain of unsuccessful politicians. Whatever else he was in 2020 he didn’t run through the tape to be inaugurated in Jan of ’21.
“I would hope that by now” everyone understands what a fraud the “chief” is.
Barry,
In this series of posts I offered my analysis and opinions supported by relevant facts. Namely:
1. That lots of voters won’t pull the lever for Trump even if his opponent was Satan
2. Trump is most effective when he stays focused on Border Security and illegal immigration
3. Many otherwise ‘up for grabs’ voters will tune out and choose another candidate if DJT insists on making ‘I wuz robbed’ the centerpiece of his ’24 campaign at the expense of the other very real issues we face
4. IMO Trump can absolutely secure not only the r nomination but a general election victory if he returns Border Security and illegal immigration to his near singular campaign focus
5. IMO the Biden WH stupidity in refusing to secure our Borders is ultimately beneficial to the electoral prospects of DJT.
6. Border security and illegal immigration is why most of us voted for Trump. The d/prog are playing into his hands and IMO that will result in them getting more Trump.
Making unsupported ad hominem attacks to attempt to discredit the messenger v debate the message on the merits is a common ploy of d/prog. They do it because they understand they can’t win a debate on the merits of the argument.
I would just remind you he is also loathed by voters outside of the left.
I know plenty of people who are neither Democrats nor leftists some of whom voted for him before who will NEVER vote for him again in general election no matter what.
My anecdotal experience is also borne out by both polling, and actual election results.

That’s true to a certain point. IMO those voters given a choice between the effectiveness of Trump in contrast to the abysmal failure of the Biden admin will very reluctantly, in the privacy of the voting booth, pull the lever for Trump about 2/3 of the time. Many will sit home.
Out of control border and illegal immigrants pouring in, govt debt up the wazzoo, rampant crime in some cities, inflation, energy costs particularly home heating rising and probable economic downturn in ’23 won’t make it easy to let Biden and the d/prog continue to eff things up by choosing to support Biden or fail to support his opponent.
Most people still largely vote on quality of life issues when times get hard. Putting food on the table, having a good job, keeping the house heated and cooled, decent schools, public safety and keeping the weirdos away from the kids is, IMO, going to prove more of a priority than leftist prattle and virtue signaling for most people. Could be wrong, though.
So in essence these so called conservatives chose to continue Democrat rule and dictatorial control every every facet of life (and death of those unworthy of life) over voting for Trump.
See, this is where I actually respect Democrats and their ability to just vote D regardless of the persons qualities with the D after their name.
Conservatives are to busy turning themselves in to pretzels because apparently conservatives have to run candidates that are acceptable to the left or some bullshit like that.
We should not give the opposition party nor independent voters a veto over our choice of candidate. Not ever. No one outside the membership of the r party should have any voice in our choice of nominee. Not ever.
That said we do need to understand and accept that just because we may want a particular candidate that others may reject him as strongly as we might embrace him.
Choosing a particular candidate as the ’24 nominee doesn’t automatically = a win no matter whom we select. People are weird. Voters make odd choices. In 2016 to our horror Hillary Clinton got more popular votes.
All of that is neither here nor there. If the left rejects ANY candidate running against them “strongly” then that is absolutely the candidate I want to run!
They are rejecting that candidate exactly because they fear the policies that candidate supports. There is no way in hell we should ever support candidates the left also supports!
I mean fuck me, that’s how we end up with fucking rinos!!!
I have read so many opinions on the legality of the twitter 45 silencing. It is complicated in my mind, and confusing… I hope it is all thrashed out in a court, for everyone to see.
The courts are near absolutely corruption theirselves.
It has been ruled on, even if indirectly. The government may not violate the first, not just congress critters. Placing government officials in positions to change and direct speech is a violation, not to mention direct collusion with sitting government officials.
But nothing of import will be done, just as nothing of import will be done about fraudulent elections.
