The first amendment give you free speech from the GOVERNMENT. Twitter is not the government. They are quite literally not held to the same standards. Twitter working as an arm of the FBI to censor Americans is a violation of the First Amendment.

I agree. The First Amendment says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

"Congress shall make no law" also means that the executive branch may not simply choose to pretend there is a censorship law.

PeopleUnited says

The institutions that made our country great are the church, the family and the ability to freely assemble/associate to join with like minded people to further our own self interests.

How does this work then when one group's self interests trample and or impede the self interests of another group ?

The system is that what controls us, and that's not the church

Historically religion and the church have been the ultimate tools of control for the masses

RWSGFY says

Looks like he wants out.

He didn't specify a timeline.
He will still be Tweeting.
He has better this to do.
Someone else who replaces him will preserve free speech. Catturd, Hercules, or Trump Jr can be CEO of Twitter (if Patrick fails to apply for the job).

Historically, religion was mandatory and enforced. That's wrong, and it's a violation of our 1st amendment.

If you want to join the Catholic church, a Sunni mosque, a Scientology church, or become a Moonie, or whatever cult you prefer - I don't care, as long as you're not being forced to do it.

I recognize that religion is a tool of control, but if somebody wants to be controlled, that's THEIR RIGHT to be. Hell, most people are controlled by television today. Directs 90% of the population on what sort of social attitudes they should have to what sort of crap they should buy - but it's not compulsory.

I bet less than 5% of the people here could go a month without turning on a television, watching a film of some sort, or turning on the radio. I bet 95% couldn't do that for a month. Our "entertainment" entirely controls the population, and the intelligence agencies have been involved with it since at least the 1930's.

Almost all Americans are entirely occupied by fantasy and sportsball. It consumes your time and destroys your mind. This is done so you will never consider something else - what the fuck is going on.

Actually, its been government goons with guns. Or are you talking about those satanic Democrat rulers?

Booger says

What a wonderful idea! @Patrick - You should reach out to Musk.

OK, I'll Tweet at him. It's about a one in a billion chance, but low cost to ask.

In the 20th Century, Religion was completely outclassed by Ideology as the most Murderous Cause.

Elon was threaten with being Epsteined by the deepstaters if he didn’t step down and quit exposing their corrupt ongoing actions. So they offered to let him live if he does the poll, (rigged of course) and bows out by “the will of the people “.

Elon, like Trump, is primarily out for his own interests. Not yours.

He's hinted that it's a ploy to nix bots.

I'm sure the number of bot accounts has gone way down, maybe 80%, in the few weeks he's been running it.

All the rest of this year, half the time you wrote something, some account from 2009-2013 with less than 200 followers would start spewing Globohomo and Fakten Cheka rubbish. If you repeated something you said earlier, they'd never say "You said that already", they'd regurgitate their canned answer. Once one repeated their very first comment back almost verbatim. Just an advanced Eliza program.

AmericanKulak says

Maybe, but with Musk I consider him a modern day PT Barnum. Trump too for that matter.

Could making everyone re-verify their accounts weed out the bots?

Go back to Medieval Times or any of the great empires, Aztec, Inca in the Americas - others in Asia, Egypt etc..

This may come as a surprise but there was life and many great civilizations prior to the last 100 years or so. We should be so lucky to be counted among them.

Sadly most people will never figure this out or accept it.

Goons with blades.

Everyone on Earth is after their own interest, not yours. You included. The issue is what policies Trump would implement if he were President. Imagine what SC nominees would be in place now had Hillary won. Trump is also the only one, Dem or Repub, who will take action fixing the border.

Religion was indeed the ultimate tool. The Pharoh could use "the gods" to justify you living in a mud hut with livestock while he spent resources building himself a pyramid for the afterlife. Pretty much every kingdom since has used religion this way. "Be a good surf and honor the King and you will go to heaven after you die." If you think it was all about weapons, check out the 30 Years War and the Muslim conquests. Rulers there did not stand a chance, despite their soldiers, when they no longer controlled the religion.

https://babylonbee.com/news/washington-post-lowers-flag-to-half-staff-for-journalists-suspended-from-twitter

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a solemn moment of solidarity, The Washington Post has lowered the flags at all its buildings nationwide to half-staff in remembrance of the brave journalists who were suspended from Twitter by Elon Musk.

"We must never forget that dark, dark, day when the voices of 9 courageous heroes of journalism were cast into the outer darkness by the fascist Elon Musk," said WaPo Editor in Chief Narbles McQuack in a statement. "They were suspended for hours and hours before being reinstated. They almost died, and so did our democracy. The world may never know just how close we came to losing everything."

Employees then bowed their heads and observed a moment of silence as the names of Ryan Mac of The New York Times, Donie O'Sullivan of CNN, and Keith Olbermann were read along with several others who gave everything in the line of duty.

"We must never, ever forget what happened on Thursday, December 19th, 2022," continued McQuack. "This was like twelve January 6ths and five 9/11s combined. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

McQuack then dismissed his employees as he was running late for a 3 PM meeting with the FBI on what news they would be allowed to publish that day.

He owns the company. Doesn't matter if he's technically CEO or not, he controls the company. He can just hire a inflatable doll to be CEO. If he "steps down" and still wants to be CEO, he'll "step down" but still remain the real CEO. He can do whatever he wants. He doesn't have to be honest with the public and he's got a history of lying to the public anyhow.

I agree he was the best choice on the ballot. I just still don’t trust him to do what is right, or even reasonable.

What is reasonable when we have a president who is senile dragging us into a conflict with Russia? They are still a nuclear super-power. I grew up under the unrelenting terror of the cold war. It ended on December 26, 1991, but these fucking assholes want to restart it.

richwicks says

James Gunn is. Kevin Spacey isn't.

He isn't? His imdb.com page shows upcoming movies with a status of "in production" and he has releases as of this year.

Biden can barely make it to the bathroom on schedule, he is potatus in name only.

Me too, but I do not recall "unrelenting terror" unless you are talking about going to the dentist, having to endure an extra 45 minutes in church once a month on communion Sundays or that afternoon English class with an active alcoholic who was about as unhinged as one can be and still hold a teaching position.

we should collectively push @patrick to be CEO of twitter. elon could go through 15 years in this forum to show his character.
