BamaJeepsterBabylon Bee was hitting too close to home - Twitter 'accidentally' suspends their account for several hours
Twitter is not going to allow anti-Biden material, they are suspending conservative accounts by the bushel. Remember when everyone went along with them because it was just a kook like Alex Jones getting suspended? Another one of those slippery slopes the left likes to say doesn't exist.

Twitter's 'Safety Council for GoodThink' is being run by the former head of comms for Kamala Harris. He's the one who took down one of Trump's tweets. The Bee published a satire piece on Kamala Harris today, just before the suspension.
The head of communications for the democrat candidate for VP is determining who can say what on Twitter now.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

That dang old algorithm...Keeps 'accidentally' shutting down conservative accounts. Weird how it never impacts liberal accounts!
Guarantee it was one of their employees who flagged a bunch of conservatives. This has happened multiple times.

At this point, I think RT is more reliable than any of the US MSM feeds.

ensigmaticExample of why I dumped Twitter a year or more ago. Twitter had been blatantly muzzling non-leftists for a long time. I will have no part of it.

It is curious--and somewhat infuriating--to me that the Republican's in the Legislature sit on their thumbs. It's almost as if the majority of them are part of the same party as the Democrats. What was that George Carlin line? "There's only one party, the power party, and you ain't in it!"

Where the hell is Jack Dorsey and why hasn't he been hung from a tree yet. His digital cesspool stinks a bit too much and needs to be cleaned up.
