It's not the just basement-dwelling wackos like vitturd and duhhhhfinch.
Lincoln Project & Washington Compost: "Yes, going after Trump's attorneys is fair game."
Going after Flynn is fair game. Going after Roger Stone is fair game. Going after Trump's taxes is fair game. Going after anyone we don't agree with politically is fair game (Fake News and Big Tech censorship).
If Trump hadn't torn apart Obama's entire agenda and had kept Paris in tact like a RINO Jeb Bush, none of this would be happening. Okay, okay...these "not my president!" temper tantrums wouldn't be this extreme.
The left plays dirty.
So should we.

I'm not complaining about the left's evil dirty tactics. Nor am I surprised. I know communist history and how it ends...every time. Other than Trump, I'm more frustrated with our side not having a clue as to the nature of the enemy, and it's been like this for years. Calling a spade a spade or recognizing a tiger never changes his stripes seems like a real struggle for RINOs.
I'm fine with whatever rules are set on the battlefield, so long as BOTH sides adhere to them. If they don't, well...
So if "Joe Biden is Hitler and must be impeached immediately!" is the new political standard, I'm fine with it. I may prefer a more civil standard, but so be it - we'll just do it better.
If making violent threats, burning down businesses and attacking police officers and politicians is the new normal, then start killing these wannabee Antifa Rambos until the rest of their snowflake posse soil themselves. And don't kid yourselves, we have the militias loaded with ex-military and law enforcement officers to do it, much to the chagrin of the Brookings Institute and Obama's DHS.
Just tell us the rules and make it a level playing field... then game on!
i believe that i may have made this same statement in another thread as i truly feel that the gop was remiss in allowing the demturd cheating to occur. if you know that they were going to pull all their bs, why did they not institute measures to prevent it from happening? for God's sake it is a presidential election of huge magnitude and they would have been justified in instituting any measures necessary to ensure that this was a totally fair and honest election. the true fight should have occurred before and on nov 3 and not now. in addition, all the energy being expended now should have been used in developing a scheme to prevent and combat the demturd's cheating. sadly, they did not and now we are sucking hind tit and are not the favorites, imho, to prevail. i truly hope that i am wrong for the sake of the country.

Everybody just needs to switch to www.parler.com no censorship....I follow Sydney on parler....
Yes, one day they will regain power and their doxing, censorship, bullying advertisers, deplatforming etc. will go into overdrive... the kind we see in communist China. Commies being commies.
We need to take heed to what they are saying and planning, and prepare accordingly for the inevitable.
The modern Left is RADICAL anti-First Amendment, anti-Second Amendment and pretty much anti-everything we value. We may not like it, but we have to deal with it.
We never ever should have ignored when they went after Alex Jones - EVER! Were some so naive to believe they would only stop at the "fringes" and leave 99% of us alone?
Now look where we are.
Tigers never change their stripes - neither do communist tyrants.
Overall, we rate Parler to be extreme right in bias and a Questionable social media outlet based on membership that consists of mostly far-right questionable sources, promotion of conspiracy theories, propaganda, and hate, as well as a lack of transparency and frequent publishing of fake news.
Some notable dates include:
In December 2018 a tweet by conservative activist, Candace Owens brought 40,000 users to the site.
In June 2019, Parler said its user base more than doubled when around 200,000 accounts from Saudi Arabia signed up to the network.
In May 2020, after President Trump’s tweets were flagged for misinformation regarding mail-in ballots, Parler published a “Declaration of Internet Independence” modeled after the United States Declaration of Independence and began using the #Twexit hashtag, which resulted in a surge of sign-ups.
On June 24, 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump campaign was looking for alternatives to social media networks that had restricted their posts and advertising and that Parler was being considered.
On October 1, 2020, Reuters broke a story that people associated with the Russian Internet Research Agency, a group known for their interference in the 2016 presidential election, had been operating social media accounts on Parler.
During and after the 2020 Presidential Election many on Facebook and Twitter have vowed to leave and join Parler due to social networks’ efforts to quash misinformation about the election.

Funded by / Ownership
Parler is owned by John Matze and Jared Thomson through Parler LLC, though they lack transparency as they do not make this clear on the website. On June 16, 2020, Conservative commentator Dan Bongino announced that he had purchased an “ownership stake” in Parler. Funding has been secured through Angel Investors with plans for a future advertising revenue model.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Parler is a social media platform that caters to conservatives and those that have been banned from other networks for a variety of reasons, including the promotion of hate as well as misinformation. Like Facebook and Twitter, Parler offers a curated/aggregated newsfeed called Affiliates. These consist of mostly right-leaning sources such as JustTheNews, National Review and Biz Pac Review, however, some sources are questionable such as the Geller Report, CNS News, and the Gatestone Institute. Also, they do not use an algorithm to promote certain posts but rather rely on Votes (likes) and Echos (reposts/shares) or as they call it Parleys. Parler, like Twitter, also limits post length, in their case to 1000 characters. Further, again like Twitter, they label official accounts with public figures receiving a gold badge, parody accounts a purple badge, and Government officials a red badge.
Upon signing up you are asked to personalize your experience by choosing accounts to follow. In my case, I was presented with the following far-right questionable sources such as Sean Hannity, Prager U, Ted Cruz, Daily Mail, American Greatness, Mises, Mark Levin, and Zero Hedge. There were many others, but all were from a right-leaning perspective. Once on the site, you can follow accounts and can click the “Discover” link, which pulls up current posts from prominent members. For example, there is a new account called @StopTheSteal that is publishing election conspiracy theories from Questionable sources such as Steve Bannon and unverified/debunked Youtube videos. Most of the information posted here has already been debunked by fact-checkers.
While Parler purports to be unbiased and promotes free-speech they have been criticized for banning those with liberal perspectives. For example, Will Duffield of the Cato Institute wrote that founder Matze had also instituted a blanket ban on Antifa supporters. They have also banned accounts for criticizing Parler. In general, Parler is only as biased and factual as its members, and at this point, that would indicate extreme right-wing bias and low factual information. Finally, they are not unbiased and DO censor voices they do not agree with. What makes this social media network different is they are 100% one-sided without offering a counter perspective.
Failed Fact Checks
Parler does not produce original content, however, its high profile members consist of those that frequently fail fact checks. Further, its founders have proclaimed that the site engages in minimal moderation and will not fact-check posts. They have also said they will allow posts that have been removed or flagged as misinformation on other social media networks like Twitter, including those that promote hate. According to the Anti-Defamation League, they state that social media outlets such as Parler are promoting the false “Democratic election theft” narrative that they believe it is greatly increasing the risk of violence.
Overall, we rate Parler to be extreme right in bias and a Questionable social media outlet based on membership that consists of mostly far-right questionable sources, promotion of conspiracy theories, propaganda, and hate, as well as a lack of transparency and frequent publishing of fake news.
