Morning, OR. Do you think that ad will change anyone's mind? It seems like the sort of thing that is passed around by one political party because it's made to make them feel superior. There's nothing factually wrong about it, but the snark is graduate level in that one. It's designed to be humor, but I'm sure some folks will share it because they think it will change someone's vote.

Good morning! Dar'shun Kendrick, who thinks literal coyotes snatch Mexican children and carry them across the border, has a Twitter poll. Let's see how it's going.

If I wasn't worried that Twitter is intentionally blocking access to her poll, I might believe that things look good for Trump's election. But I hold no such assumptions after their actions the last two weeks two months well, at least a year.

Why would Twitter shadowban her? She's one of theirs. She'll take down the poll when she realizes it's not going her way. Meanwhile, the mockery is delicious.

Just call it a gut intuition. They don't want to give Trump *any* help, and this poll does exactly that. Mockery is good; I just don't trust the power players in Silicon Valley.

Ted Cruz BODIES Twitter’s CEO in Senate Hearing, Sets Trap He Didn't See Coming

Starts with.

Cruz: Do you think Twitter influences elections.

Dorsey: No.

Cruz: So why do you block Tweets you disagree with?

Zing! Reminds me of the argument about violent TV shows and video games. If people aren't influenced by what's on screen, why do advertisers pay billions to get their products in front of viewers?

Apparently he doesn’t give a damn ...

~snip~

Twitter suspended U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan for a post celebrating the success of the U.S. southern border wall keeping violent criminals from reaching American communities.

According to screenshots shared exclusively with The Federalist, Twitter locked Morgan’s account Wednesday afternoon for apparently violating platform rules governing “hateful conduct” after the commissioner attempted to tweet about the wall’s benefits

But despite the official announcement that Twitter bans Holocaust denial, Dorsey says it doesn't. So what is "hate speech"? Whatever speech leftists hate.

And when they get caught red handed in censorship, as Dorsey has, they skate by in saying “we made a mistake” then continue on as if it’s business as usual.

I find it ironically amusing. People like Dorsey go absolutely ape shit about censorship, repression of the media when Trump criticizes the media. He does nothing active, just makes a criticism.

The when Dorsey actively suppresses items he doesn't like, sees nothing wrong with it.

These same people also see propaganda and media control as something exclusively of the right, while they engage in it from the left.

When we then draw comparisons to other leftist tyrannies they argue, "oh that couldn't happen here".

In doing so they close the circle on how you get people in those tyranny who are willing to repress the public dicourse.

The separation between Dorsey and Goebbels is minimal.

Dorsey tried to claim it was all a mistake that had been fixed, but The Post account remained locked, even as he spoke.

“Can the New York Post post on their Twitter account?” Cruz asked.

“If they go into their account …,” squirmed Dorsey, before Cruz cut him off.

“No, is your answer to that,” fumed Cruz, “unless they genuflect and agree with your dictates.”

This, from the NYP today.

Yup, blinded by his own ideology. He doesn’t play by the rules of freedom of speech, he creates his own rules ... he’s that powerful, and dangerous.

There's a part of me that goes, "Why did you allow others to take control of what you created?" But I have to at least give him credit for pulling back the curtain to show what is going on.

It's too damn bad America doesn't have an empire.  When the British had an empire, they could send their surplus middle class out to the colonies to grow rubber, fight natives, and die of fever. 

We don't have that, so we stick our surplus middle class into useless middle management, or give them "social work" degrees, so that they can impede progress at home.

b) There is a franchise/drink called "Orange Julius," which used to be centered in New York.

c) Trump is from New York.
