So either they're playing politics, or they are so consumed by their ideology they are incapable of seeing past it, not sure which one is more dangerous.
Ah yeah, Tim Pool, a guy so smart he lost a debate to Vaush.

Your right. The argument is about as unpolitical as a Don Trump Jr tweet.

Kinda sorta has something to kinda sorta do with it in the loosest terms. Now watch opposite political talking head spike the ball hard in front of a crowd of uniformed.

My favourite Tim Pool moment was Tim citing The Avengers in a debate with Sam Seder and then promptly getting his lunch fed to him. Dude is a joke.

I have no idea who either of those people are and on some level I feel proud of this.

You're not missing much on either side is the point really.

There are much better "idea guys" out there.

The less I understand about Psycnet's posts, the more I feel I'm hanging out on the correct parts of the web. If they ever start making sense to me, I'm going to step back from the internet.

I'll miss the comedy
The person that uses Twitter for the comments is a masochist.

Looks like it might be the end of Parler.

Hahaha, keeps getting better.

PGA of America cut ties to President Donald Trump when it voted Sunday to take the PGA Championship event away from his New Jersey golf course next year.

Well there are a few problems here,

#1 you are using the Joe Rogen podcast as a source of information, even worse you seem to find it entertaining.

#2 the lawyer made a terrible argument, he shouldn't be special pleading similar things in favour of his side.

#3 they were almost certainly working from a cherry picked data set. I'm certain it's pretty ease to find left wing people on twitter who were banned for something a right wing person said who was not banned. These isolated instance do not equate to proof of bias on either side.

#4 Even if once side is subject to more bans than the other side, it does not equate to proof of bias, because it's genuinely possible that one side it just more likely to break the terms of service and get reported, both of which would be required to be considered for a ban.

I love that all these providers are closing their doors.

They'll have to write letters and gather in person soon.

But it'll be too much effort for them to keep up the cause for more than a few weeks. I know America.

Who would've thought that this is why Trump would regret gutting the USPS...

Gab should go the way of Parlour soon enough, these people can’t help themselves.

Quite the Trump GIF to select for celebration, next to Epstein.

Oh lord.. to have that fly on the wall POV footage of Trump's reaction to all this.

I wonder how childish his tantrum was. More than the passenger blocked from flying? Probably.

So it's not going to support the idea that Amazon/Apple/Google et al can ban Parler or ban Trump.

Overly pedantic look at the issue

It is a simple obvious way to poke at the hypocrisy of the Republicans

Parler is in the process of shutting down.
Edit: And it's gone.
