Love you Ted and I can't wait to vote for you in 2024. But we all know you aren't going to do shit about it. And neither will the rest of the GOP. Giant Old Pussies.
Well the farther you go left or right the more you lose sights of the center where things normally take place. They’re crying about the Supreme Court, but it was Ruth babybutcher Ginsberg who refused to resign when seriously ill and old during Obama’s presidency. Plus these far lefties know next to nothing about how Supreme Court appointments often surprise/disappoint those who named them to the court. It’s supposed to be an independent body with lifetime appointments so they uphold the Constitution and rights— but they are people and some crave approval and popularity or think that by betraying the Constitution they preserve the Court.
I’m closer to an absolutist on rights so I was very disappointed that Trump went along with a ban on “bump stocks” following the mass murder in Las Vegas. We don’t usually deprive every citizen of something because of the one crime. Did anyone even get Netflix to pull 13 Reasons Why after the show was clearly linked to teen suicides? The most vile pornography is protected as speech, when obscenity was never considered speech (written, spoken, communication).
Trying to spin off a new party isn't going to work out that well. In actuality, they're going to draw votes from the same base and spoil each other. Teddy Roosevelt tried that with the Bull-Moose Party and it split the progressive vote. We're better off changing the next generation of the GOP from the bottom up, getting more Laura Loomers and Sean Parnells in the primaries.
This. The bipartite system is the optimal mathematical solution given the rules by which the elections are run. There is no way around it if you don't change the entire voting system first.
Primary these clowns like we didn't do the last 4 years. Waiting for the RNC(DNC) to serve up some great candidate on a silver platter is asinine. No swamp draining will occur until Congress is remade. 85%+ need to be removed and replaced.
Representatives were originally conceived to represent the people. This was achieved by having a rep for every 30k or so people. With the current population, that's like 10,000 representatives.
That is what we need. Actual people like us. Some Joe Blow you know and can punch in the nose if need be.
What we have instead is this abhorrent, elite political class of the select few that represent only their own interests. Replacing all of them won't change this fact and thus will always result in the same situation.
Take a look at what gets posted here on this website. Then take a look at the amount of support each post gets.
People are honest with how they feel on here and other people agree. LOTS of other people agree.
So why wouldn't that be true if we all became politically active? Take these posts and turn them into speeches on a campaign for your local school board, council position, or congressional race.
We need patriots to start flooding local races not just with their votes, but with their candidacy. If we can't trust our representatives then we should just run the government ourselves.
What types of local races specifically? Genuinely curious.
Can average joe schmos run for anything? Obviously they’d have to be intelligent etc but the need to have been super into political circles isn’t a must? Or not having a ton of political contacts etc?
I'd rather have Pence than Cruz, although he got cucked for his Religious Freedoms Restoration Act. Maybe Cotton? I like the Tennessee governor, Trump endorsed him and he had no prior political experience and he never closed down the state. Seems like a great guy so far.
Pence has had Trump's back the whole time. If and when Trump endorses him, he'll get my vote. I'll reward loyalty. And there's a chance MAGA rubbed off on him.
Well shit. The North America Union, European Union, African Union, and Asian Union are all globalist ideas designed to further centralize power and make it easier to control rather than micromanaging the manipulation of all these different countries.
They already succeeded in creating the European Union and look how that turned out for our European friends.
"Greetings across time, greetings. So you have come at last to rouse old Rogol Domedonfors Ronald__Dregan from his dreams? I have dreamed long and well---but it seems for an unconscionable period. How long? Twenty years? Fifty years? Let me look."
The eye swung to a tube on the wall, a quarter full of gray powder.
The mouth gave a cry of wonder. "The energy has nearly dissipated! How long have I slept? With a half-life of 1,200 years---over five thousand years!
"Who are you then? Where are my bickering subjects, the adherents of Clown World? Did they kill themselves then, so long ago?"
"No. They are still honking in the streets."
"Five thousand years! Five thousand years and the wretches still honk? Time has taught them no wisdom? Then stronger agencies must be used. Ronald__Dregan will show them wisdom. Behold!"
This ^ He's made more noise about it than just about anyone else in DC. Individually, congress members have very little power besides making noise unless they are committee chairs/sentate leaders/house speakers, of which Cruz is none.
I agree these are all swamp creatures that are forced to play this way. We need people that stand up against the establishment. Only politicians I like are Trump, Tulsi and Rand Paul (anti war people)
My guess is our current AG won’t have the job much longer. And the new appointee will be chosen in the usual politicalized process. And that will depend heavily on who’s in office after the election next week.
I don’t think so, and an internet search seems to agree that SCOTUS cannot issue a bench warrant or petition for an individual to be arrested.
But I’m no expert. My guess is Jack would have to be tried in a normal court, then tried again in an appeal in court, before SCOTUS would even consider hearing the case.
Why do Cruz people still think he is worthy of being president even though he does nothing but talk? Like Pence is trash or something compared to cruz.
Cruz has a podcast now, which is perfect for him, talk, talk, talk. I've lost my patience with these spineless cucks. Cruz loves the attention but does nothing.
So sick of GOP congress and so sick of the DOJ. Trump is all alone.
He sure loves to make it sound like the hammer is gonna drop so all his fanboys post "Lion Ted" all over the place, meanwhile Jack and Zuckerberg laugh in their face and rape the crap out of free speech. Even censoring Trump himself. Guess this will get him some content for his podcast.
The reason we're in this position is because people do want a king - they don't want to have to do shit themselves. It's just too much work to find worthy candidates to primary obvious govt goons, or, god forbid, run for office yourself. "Muh work muh family, can't Romney's niece just serve me a perfect candidate already????????" This is why the left is in almost complete control right now - they put the work in at all levels of govt for decades.
Part of the problem is Big Tech has ALL politicians in their pockets (Dems and Rep's). They'll cut all Republicans a check for $50K for their campaigns, and give Democrats $1M each. So both parties put on a big show on TV just like Hollywood. Paid actors by Big Tech. The only one who gives a shit is Donald Trump
He's up for Senate reelection in 2024, fren. I know a lot of people here talk about him running for Potus but Cruz has an election in 2024 regardless or which office it is for.
Yeah but the people mentioning it mean for president, which is laughable.
The election is in less than a week and while all these senators like Cruz, trying to score digital points "owning" these CEOs on TV, these CEOs are going full throttle censoring everything while they laugh in the faces of these Senators, and then people here posting tweets like the Senators are killing them while they're the ones actually killing us...
100% correct. It's all a Hollywood show. Big Tech has testified and lied under oath before congress MULTIPLE times in the past. Nothing gets done. Which is why they will continue their censorship with impunity and it will only get worse. Just like the BLM riots, when criminals see there are no consequence for their actions, they will continue committing crimes and become more and more emboldened. I'm sure the next step will be to permanently terminate all GOP accounts. Why the fuck not right? They are a private platform with impunity to do as they please. Congress has made that pretty clear by now
He's a legislator.... he is not in the executive branch. He can propose laws. He can question people. He can't actually do much about it though.
Don't hate on Cruz because he doesn't have the ability to arrest people or anything like that. That falls in the hands of the DOJ (I think the DOJ) who have the power. Cruz is doing what he can, exposing these people and providing the DOJ with evidence to do something.
A week before the election they want to act like they are doing something about Big Tech even though Big Tech just laughs and lies in their faces without a care in the world while going full throttle with their censorship of us. And people here licking balls over absolutely nothing. I don't see how that's "hating on Cruz".
So many puppies here pretending the Republicans took the white house in 2016. We took the Republican party from them. They all voted for Cruz against us in the primary and now want to come in here acting like they're going to school us.
Party liners take heed: if you think you own this movement we are going to take your party from you again. And next time we won't let you save face. Be gracious.
Remind me whether it’s Ted Cruz or Donald Trump that heads up the executive branch of government and who is ultimately responsible for the DoJ and enforcement of federal law?🤔
Cruz is a chameleon, he might be on our side for now but he only acts that way because it is politically useful for him. He had the smarts to see the swamp was going to be drained so leaped out of it.
No more of the same old tired career politicians in 2024, you'll get America right back into the same old mess Trump is trying to extract us from.
This tweet is a prime example, all talk and no action at all.
I would say that is essentially what he did above. I personally don't feel the above tweet is useless. But I understand your point. It would be more if he specifically said he is pushing for prosecution. This, however, might be something he did do that he cannot actually come out and say he did. There's a lot more going on that we just don't know about...
RepubliCANT career politicians are destroying America slowly. Cruz does not have what it takes to keep America going. If he gets into power....it is over. The Dems keep shifting further left, so when they get back into power...it is also curtains.
What is he supposed to do? He just took it a step further than the rest and said Dorsey has commited a crime here. He's done his job. Cruz is one of the few actually trying to fight big tech. Can't help Billy bagpipes is a bump on a log. He's not a cop or a prosecutor.
Read a fucking civics book. Better yet, read the Constitution.
Congress makes the laws, it doesn't enforce them. There is nothing more he can do that provide evidence to the Department of Justice, which he has done.
Thank you. A lot of people who aren’t clear how the system works aren’t aware of the role the DOJ plays. Seems common sense now that you say it, but many of us were public schooled (and we know how the democrats + teachers unions operate our lovely state run schools)...
He can fire and purge the DOJ after his re-election, to do so now would have the Democrats proclaiming him a tyrant and they would have visible “proof” to back it up.
Trump needs the political capital that comes with a re-election in order to do this.
Here's what: send out a subpoena for the Attorney General and demand to know why his DOJ refuses to prosecute. Go on TV about it every single night until action is taken.
But that's all joke because the GOP is a worthless husk of party. A corpse only temporarily animated by the power of Trump. Without him it crumbles to dust
He's supposed to charge Him for lying tot he Senate.
Spez: They should just talk about it and not do anything as usual. I see that's what you all want. I that was me lying to the Senate i'd be under arrest immediately after. But Jack is special, got it. Lot of Jack fans on here today.
He subsequently confirmed he was lying by trying to Tweet out the url. I guess he could've whipped his phone out and did it right in front of him but he may have been unable to prove that right then. Regardless, he just served up an indictment on a platter. That's atleast more than what we usually get. It is up to the DOJ and the FBI to do something but they're compromised
All they did was put on another Hollywood show. This is not the first time that Big Tech has lied under oath before congress. Big Tech has testified and lied MULTIPLE times before congress. NOTHING has been or will be done. Section 230 should have been revoked for Twitter and Facebook AGES ago. If you can't sue these platforms, they will continue to act with impunity to the point where they will just outright terminate every GOP account if they feel like it. The only solution is unfortunately to destroy these companies by revoking their section 230 and letting the lawsuits flood in.
I think the best solution is to revoke section 230 from specifically Twitter and Facebook. Once this happens they are liable to being sued and won't be able to continue operating since there is no possible way they can monitor every single thing people post. This will cause them to go out of business and a new platform can take it's place. Whatever platform takes it's place must follow free speech guidelines or risk having their section 230 revoked as well. If you want to operate as a platform, you must protect free speech and not allow censorship. If you cannot be neutral and start censoring and making editorial decisions, you are no longer a platform, you're a publisher.
Jack is openly telling the senate “fuck you”. Cruz cant do anything but call him out. The RINOs wont do shit bc big tech has their balls. Not teds fault, though.
Cruz is doing more than the right thing. He can't lock up Jack Dorsey in cuffs because all Jack has to say is "muh employee didn't listen to me". You also can't lock up the "employee" either because all they did was fail to follow the hypothetical instructions. This is especially true because Jack likes to act like he's not involved in the details at Twitter. All Cruz can do is build a stronger case with documented instances.
Their job is to write laws, they also (as seen here) can do investigations and can subpoena people this compelling them to come forward and give testimony
Trump said he would drain the swamp but he didn't. Still voting for Trump but America would be a much better place if we didn't have to deal with technocrats violating our God given rights.
Right. That’s an arena where he has power and Cruz doesn’t. The power of the federal government is an arena where Cruz has the power— until he uses that, he hasn’t decided this is anything more than a publicity stunt
The problem is the RINO-Democrat Alliance won’t allow any Pro-MAGA, Anti-Swamp person to be appointed to the DOJ.
I think Trump should give Congress the middle finger and appoint Rudy without Congressional Confirmation. And he should do it immediately after his re-election on November 4th that way he has a mandate congress can not deny.
Who will prosecute?... I've lost count of how many times this song and dance has transpired in the last 4+ years. I don't know why Zuck and Jack even show up, or how they stop from laughing at these Senators.
When content is removed, the poster must be notified and the local or federal agency with jurisdiction is also notified.
If users can show content is removed that doesn't violate law, big penalties. 10% of penalty is given as a bounty to the person reporting the violation, so policing this is incentivized.
Now, what about trolls, disruption, etc? You can still terminate or close accounts. You just can't censor all their content. Troll comes in and spams some offtopic crap, you remove the troll, but the spam remains. That is life.
This is where capitalism comes in. Nothing is requiring social media to offer free accounts, and there are solutions to the above problems that involve registration controls, or fees.
This might kill "free" social media where the users are the product. I'm okay with that result.
ALSO:
A media site can choose to be a publisher. Nothing wrong with that, and then the can censor anything and everything they want. Drawback: they are responsible for all content on the site, and can face legal repercussions for illegal content.
I don’t know if you fully understand what’s at play here. Section 230 is what allows TD.win to have rules like “Trump supporters only, no exceptions.” It’s not illegal to not support Trump, so with your proposal we couldn’t make that rule without becoming a publisher. That’s why a clearly defined and universally enforced TOS is vital to any platform, even if it removes content that isn’t strictly violating any law
I like the idea of bounty hunting violations, but I’d go a step further: I’d have the penalties paid by the highest ranking person we can prove allowed the violation
That is worthless if they interpret their own TOS and are not liable for what the AI does.
Either they are platforms and can not censor anything unless hit with a court order, or they are publishers and they are held liable for everything everyone posts and you hit them with punitive damages.
No legislative changes necessary, they will just stop censoring, and we don't need to have fedGov take over the tech industry with "regulations" that are really just communist takeovers federalizing private industries.
Government is meant to be the gang that trumps all other gangs. When you are being picked on by a gang you can't handle between you and your neighbors, you call up the government.
When it comes to an infringement of rights, government doesn't exist just to not infringe on rights. A government that did nothing would infringe on no ones rights, after all. It exists to take positive action to PREVENT others from doing so! That's the point!
We WANT the government to beat up guys who infringe on our rights!
Yet, Roger Stone had dozens of SWAT Team Members raid his house using Helicopters and Boats so he wouldn't escape while CNN was tipped off to film it all. FUCK ALL OF THEM!! Burn it all down as far as I am concerned.
People are very tired of these cocksuckers getting away with their crimes, we have pedo Biden with photographic evidence and nothing happens, these big tech cocksuckers rigging an election, massive Democrat voter fraud and yet nothing is done.
tech god.. really? he looks like a fucking terrorist with that disgusting beard... shave that garbage off or go put on a dress and move to Iran.. imagine the smell
So do something, charge him with a felony that you just caught him committing. If there are no consequences for breaking the fucking law, then these scum will just keep lying to you.
Big Tech has already lied under oath before, multiple times. Stop putting on a show and fucking do something. Fucking worthless actors. If you want to put on a show join Hollywood
Lying has become normalized, without repercussions. When falsehood posts can be tweeted, then retracted without anyone being held accountable, it is cloaked in 'opinion' or 'perspective'. If everything is believed as an opinion, there are no facts.
Who would win in a fist fight between Dorsey and Zuckerberg?
They both look like weak soyboys but maybe Dorsey would win if it’s fists-only, no lizard powers for the Zucc. Otherwise, in a no holds barred fight, Zucc would probably win
Love you Ted and I can't wait to vote for you in 2024. But we all know you aren't going to do shit about it. And neither will the rest of the GOP. Giant Old Pussies.
So why the fuck would you vote for him?
Trumpers need a new party. Republicans are free to join but they leave all their RINO bullshit can’t do maybe bullshit at the fucking DOOR
None are brave enough, or if they are competent enough, or if they are both, have the money and backing.
True MAGA pushers require massive amounts of balls, ability, and will power.
It's pretty funny seeing the disconnect between the 2 sides. I've seen dozens of libtards claim their senators don't fight hard enough "like the GOP"
Well the farther you go left or right the more you lose sights of the center where things normally take place. They’re crying about the Supreme Court, but it was Ruth babybutcher Ginsberg who refused to resign when seriously ill and old during Obama’s presidency.

We should call it the Brave party.
GEOTUS already uses a lot of lion imagery.
Constitution Party.
Calling yourself the Lion (Lyin') party has to be the dumbest idea ever.
Just call it the Tea ("T") party
The democrats literally have a Donkey (Ass) for their mascot so...
Freedom party
Let's call it the Pride Party and reclaim that word. A pride of lions, prideful in our country. Show off what that word really means!
Or maybe that's too gay.
Hear (fucking) Hear!!
Was going to call it Constitutionalists.
I liked Patriots. But "constitutionalists" brings home the central point.
🔔 Patriots Party 🔔 Let freedom ring!!!
This is the guy running for State Treasurer for Oregon, from the Constitution Party: https://i.maga.host/jTqa6LW.png
MAGA AF and I enjoyed his submission statement but I voted strategically, unfortunately, for the Republican contender to help sway votes for him.
In an alternate timeline and hopefully as part of the next 4 years of Trump, we can actually get these kind of candidates in the door.
Trying to spin off a new party isn't going to work out that well. In actuality, they're going to draw votes from the same base and spoil each other. Teddy Roosevelt tried that with the Bull-Moose Party and it split the progressive vote. We're better off changing the next generation of the GOP from the bottom up, getting more Laura Loomers and Sean Parnells in the primaries.
We also have to get involved and join the Republican party. Get involved, take that shit over.
there is no need to form a new party. Trump has essentially taken over. No candidate is more popular. If they go after trump they lose.
This. The bipartite system is the optimal mathematical solution given the rules by which the elections are run. There is no way around it if you don't change the entire voting system first.
Changing the entire system benefits commies. So instead we take the GOP over.
The problem would just repeat. WE THE PEOPLE have to elect the right people.
Vote in the primaries.
Don´t vote for douchebags in local and state elections. Get involved in your community. GASP - run yourself.
The Trump Party
Primary these clowns like we didn't do the last 4 years. Waiting for the RNC(DNC) to serve up some great candidate on a silver platter is asinine. No swamp draining will occur until Congress is remade. 85%+ need to be removed and replaced.
And 8-year term limits on Senators.
Can we think of one senior US Senator who isn’t balls deep in the swamp yet?
Only one I could possibly trust to not be swamp is Paul, and he's a junior.
No, it's not that.
Representatives were originally conceived to represent the people. This was achieved by having a rep for every 30k or so people. With the current population, that's like 10,000 representatives.
That is what we need. Actual people like us. Some Joe Blow you know and can punch in the nose if need be.

Noem/Cotton or Noem/Grenell Ticket 2024
It's the GOP or the destruction of America. Please vote
Pence has had Trump's back the whole time. If and when Trump endorses him, he'll get my vote. I'll reward loyalty. And there's a chance MAGA rubbed off on him.
Let’s not forget that Ted Cruz’s wife was a CFR member and was on the leadership board for their globalist North American Union project.
She's 100% of the reason behind his behavior in 2015 & 16. Total humorless cunt.
Well shit. The North America Union, European Union, African Union, and Asian Union are all globalist ideas designed to further centralize power and make it easier to control rather than micromanaging the manipulation of all these different countries.
They already succeeded in creating the European Union and look how that turned out for our European friends.

Congress can’t arrest people. Thank God.
The people you need to be mad at are the attorney general and the justice department. Or possibly the DA on whatever jurisdiction oversees Twitter.
Do you know who approves and votes to appoint the AG?
I do!
My guess is our current AG won’t have the job much longer. And the new appointee will be chosen in the usual politicalized process. And that will depend heavily on who’s in office after the election next week.
I think Trump should give Congress the middle finger and appoint whoever he wants and not wait for a confirmation for him to start.
Yep.
Congress (both houses) can refer criminal indictments to the AG.
Jurisdiction over Twitter is the FCC, as that power is given to them by the Congress. They can also refer criminal indictments to the DOJ.
This all goes through Barr. All of it.
Can SCOTUS do anything?
For the federal courts to get involved, an actual case must be brought before them by a plaintiff, with an actual injury that the Court can remedy.
They don't get involved with hypotheticals.
I don’t think so, and an internet search seems to agree that SCOTUS cannot issue a bench warrant or petition for an individual to be arrested.
But I’m no expert. My guess is Jack would have to be tried in a normal court, then tried again in an appeal in court, before SCOTUS would even consider hearing the case.
Kamala Harris used to be attorney general of California and covered for Twitter, Google, and Facebook for years.
I won't vote for Ted in 2024 or ever.
Why do Cruz people still think he is worthy of being president even though he does nothing but talk? Like Pence is trash or something compared to cruz.
Cruz has a podcast now, which is perfect for him, talk, talk, talk. I've lost my patience with these spineless cucks. Cruz loves the attention but does nothing.
So sick of GOP congress and so sick of the DOJ. Trump is all alone.
He's in the legislative branch, talking is literally his job. Wray and Barr are responsible for action. Separation of powers.
Thank you! Many on this site seem to have no idea how our government works!
He sure loves to make it sound like the hammer is gonna drop so all his fanboys post "Lion Ted" all over the place, meanwhile Jack and Zuckerberg laugh in their face and rape the crap out of free speech. Even censoring Trump himself. Guess this will get him some content for his podcast.
If you want a king, go back to England. We don't do that primitive shit here.
The reason we're in this position is because people do want a king - they don't want to have to do shit themselves. It's just too much work to find worthy candidates to primary obvious govt goons, or, god forbid, run for office yourself. "Muh work muh family, can't Romney's niece just serve me a perfect candidate already????????" This is why the left is in almost complete control right now - they put the work in at all levels of govt for decades.
Go back to England.
He's not advocating for a king. He's characterizing an arbitrary person.
Even if we weren't in a Ted Cruz thread I would know you are a Ted Cruz supporter. Much more principled to just make a tweet about it.
You sound like a deranged leftist who always projects.
Part of the problem is Big Tech has ALL politicians in their pockets (Dems and Rep's). They'll cut all Republicans a check for $50K for their campaigns, and give Democrats $1M each. So both parties put on a big show on TV just like Hollywood. Paid actors by Big Tech. The only one who gives a shit is Donald Trump
Oh yes, I'm sure Ted could pick up the phone and some black shirts will show up at Twitter's headquarters to break some skulls.
He's a fucking senator.
Contrary to what Hollywood might have led you to believe, a senator can only talk and vote for stuff.
What EXACTLY would you like him to do in this specific case?
He's up for Senate reelection in 2024, fren. I know a lot of people here talk about him running for Potus but Cruz has an election in 2024 regardless or which office it is for.
Yeah but the people mentioning it mean for president, which is laughable.

Definitely agree there. Cruz isnt the guy.
100% correct. It's all a Hollywood show. Big Tech has testified and lied under oath before congress MULTIPLE times in the past. Nothing gets done. Which is why they will continue their censorship with impunity and it will only get worse. Just like the BLM riots, when criminals see there are no consequence for their actions, they will continue committing crimes and become more and more emboldened. I'm sure the next step will be to permanently terminate all GOP accounts. Why the fuck not right? They are a private platform with impunity to do as they please. Congress has made that pretty clear by now
He's another Trey Gowdy except he doesnt get a new haircut every other week
He's a legislator.... he is not in the executive branch. He can propose laws. He can question people. He can't actually do much about it though.
Don't hate on Cruz because he doesn't have the ability to arrest people or anything like that. That falls in the hands of the DOJ (I think the DOJ) who have the power. Cruz is doing what he can, exposing these people and providing the DOJ with evidence to do something.

And people here licking balls over absolutely nothing. I don't see how that's "hating on Cruz".
An antitrust lawsuit has been filed against Google in federal court by the justice department. Things happen slow but they're happening.
So many puppies here pretending the Republicans took the white house in 2016. We took the Republican party from them. They all voted for Cruz against us in the primary and now want to come in here acting like they're going to school us.
Party liners take heed: if you think you own this movement we are going to take your party from you again. And next time we won't let you save face. Be gracious.
WOW... Cruz needs to be credited with voting to confirm ACB and acquitting Trump?
Really? This is how trash the GOP is that voting for a qualified judge and voting to RIGHTFULLY acquit trump needs to be praised?
Cruz has no substance.
The Senate can write bills, and the House can vote on them.
Per the Constitution, there are only some bills that must originate in the House:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origination_Clause
Remind me whether it’s Ted Cruz or Donald Trump that heads up the executive branch of government and who is ultimately responsible for the DoJ and enforcement of federal law?🤔
But muh impartiality - the Left
Cruz is a chameleon, he might be on our side for now but he only acts that way because it is politically useful for him. He had the smarts to see the swamp was going to be drained so leaped out of it.
No more of the same old tired career politicians in 2024, you'll get America right back into the same old mess Trump is trying to extract us from.
This tweet is a prime example, all talk and no action at all.
Let me challenge you for a moment. What action should Cruz take?
Refer Dorsey for prosecution would be a start but no, he would rather just tweet.
That Tweet should read:
"I have just referred @Jack to @DOJ for prosecution under 18 USC 1621 for perjury".
Not hard, then it is up to the federal prosecutors and at least Cruz took action rather than another fucking useless tweet.
Ok, fair.
I would say that is essentially what he did above. I personally don't feel the above tweet is useless. But I understand your point. It would be more if he specifically said he is pushing for prosecution. This, however, might be something he did do that he cannot actually come out and say he did. There's a lot more going on that we just don't know about...
RepubliCANT career politicians are destroying America slowly. Cruz does not have what it takes to keep America going. If he gets into power....it is over. The Dems keep shifting further left, so when they get back into power...it is also curtains.
So fucking do something about it.
What is he supposed to do? He just took it a step further than the rest and said Dorsey has commited a crime here. He's done his job. Cruz is one of the few actually trying to fight big tech. Can't help Billy bagpipes is a bump on a log. He's not a cop or a prosecutor.
Not tweet about it? Call him back out during this hearing. Have him leave in handcuffs for breaking the law. Fucking anything
He just served up an indictment on a silver platter. Unfortunately, we have nobody with balls to prosecute
Thats my point. Actually fuckint indict him. Do SOMETHING other than tweet and talk
He. Can't.
Read a fucking civics book. Better yet, read the Constitution.
Congress makes the laws, it doesn't enforce them. There is nothing more he can do that provide evidence to the Department of Justice, which he has done.
From here on, it's in Barr's hands.
Thank you. A lot of people who aren’t clear how the system works aren’t aware of the role the DOJ plays. Seems common sense now that you say it, but many of us were public schooled (and we know how the democrats + teachers unions operate our lovely state run schools)...
He constitutionally isn’t allowed to indict people.
That is the DOJ’s job. And they are compromised.
He can fire and purge the DOJ after his re-election, to do so now would have the Democrats proclaiming him a tyrant and they would have visible “proof” to back it up.
Trump needs the political capital that comes with a re-election in order to do this.
Do Senators even have the power to order someone’s arrest?
Here's what: send out a subpoena for the Attorney General and demand to know why his DOJ refuses to prosecute. Go on TV about it every single night until action is taken.
But that's all joke because the GOP is a worthless husk of party. A corpse only temporarily animated by the power of Trump. Without him it crumbles to dust
He's supposed to charge Him for lying tot he Senate.
Spez: They should just talk about it and not do anything as usual. I see that's what you all want. I that was me lying to the Senate i'd be under arrest immediately after. But Jack is special, got it. Lot of Jack fans on here today.
I was unaware he was a prosecutor.
He is an elected senator, lmao.
He subsequently confirmed he was lying by trying to Tweet out the url. I guess he could've whipped his phone out and did it right in front of him but he may have been unable to prove that right then. Regardless, he just served up an indictment on a platter. That's atleast more than what we usually get. It is up to the DOJ and the FBI to do something but they're compromised
All they did was put on another Hollywood show. This is not the first time that Big Tech has lied under oath before congress. Big Tech has testified and lied MULTIPLE times before congress. NOTHING has been or will be done. Section 230 should have been revoked for Twitter and Facebook AGES ago. If you can't sue these platforms, they will continue to act with impunity to the point where they will just outright terminate every GOP account if they feel like it. The only solution is unfortunately to destroy these companies by revoking their section 230 and letting the lawsuits flood in.
I think the best solution is to revoke section 230 from specifically Twitter and Facebook. Once this happens they are liable to being sued and won't be able to continue operating since there is no possible way they can monitor every single thing people post. This will cause them to go out of business and a new platform can take it's place. Whatever platform takes it's place must follow free speech guidelines or risk having their section 230 revoked as well. If you want to operate as a platform, you must protect free speech and not allow censorship. If you cannot be neutral and start censoring and making editorial decisions, you are no longer a platform, you're a publisher.
Jack is openly telling the senate “fuck you”. Cruz cant do anything but call him out. The RINOs wont do shit bc big tech has their balls. Not teds fault, though.
A Senator cannot make that charge. What he can do: refer it to the DoJ.
I expect Cruz will do so.
Cruz is doing more than the right thing. He can't lock up Jack Dorsey in cuffs because all Jack has to say is "muh employee didn't listen to me". You also can't lock up the "employee" either because all they did was fail to follow the hypothetical instructions. This is especially true because Jack likes to act like he's not involved in the details at Twitter. All Cruz can do is build a stronger case with documented instances.
He is in the legislative branch of government, what does he have the power to do?
Well the Judicial Branch writes laws like the Legislative Branch. So the Legislative Branch can go outside its purview and act as Executive Branch.
Or you know, joking aside, indict them on perjury charges and officially get the processed started. A tweet does nothing
Paging Bill Barr....
He's busy stuffing his face with Do Nothing Donuts
When he isn't practicing his bagpipes or protecting the Bidens and coup plotters, that is.
I'll make it easier for you...
Is Hillary arrested yet?
No? Then he has failed at enforcing the law.
It's such a shame, isn't it.
Settle down! These things take decades to get done. They are working on it mkay!
Lmaooooooo
Too busy bag piping man. Call me next year.
:( i hear bagpipes in the distance, getting fainter.....
Then arrest them! Have the police or whatever waiting for them to leave the room!
Right. Do something about it. Stop with angry tweets
He’s a senator, not a cop. Barr is the top cop...
I for one am glad Senators can’t arrest people
Their job is to write laws, they also (as seen here) can do investigations and can subpoena people this compelling them to come forward and give testimony
Seriously, that's how you get someone like Pelosi taking political prisoners.
Trump said he would drain the swamp but he didn't. Still voting for Trump but America would be a much better place if we didn't have to deal with technocrats violating our God given rights.
Top flop.
...so we are fucked.
dog and pony show
Right!?! I'm angry tweeting about the guy that runs Twitter about tweets he won't allow us to tweet.
Where can the problem be?
Right. That’s an arena where he has power and Cruz doesn’t. The power of the federal government is an arena where Cruz has the power— until he uses that, he hasn’t decided this is anything more than a publicity stunt
Fire Barr
The problem is the RINO-Democrat Alliance won’t allow any Pro-MAGA, Anti-Swamp person to be appointed to the DOJ.
I think Trump should give Congress the middle finger and appoint Rudy without Congressional Confirmation. And he should do it immediately after his re-election on November 4th that way he has a mandate congress can not deny.
Laws. Do. Not. Apply. To. Democrats.
Or the rich.
and elite. Hunter Biden
Or to the Republicans who enable them by playing along, so the show continues uninterrupted
Laws are for peasants.
You think the elite want to start prosecuting each other? That would ruin the whole charade.
The political establishment is totally corrupt. Why do you think they all hate Trump? He's the only clean guy there.
Stop reinforcing this garbage narrative and demanding heads
Who will prosecute?... I've lost count of how many times this song and dance has transpired in the last 4+ years. I don't know why Zuck and Jack even show up, or how they stop from laughing at these Senators.
All that money... And that's the best he can do?
He's out there shakin his fanny like a shameless sock cuckah!
Simple fix: to keep Section 230 protections, a platform must
when removing or otherwise preventing interaction with content, provide the specific section of TOS and/or US Code the offending content violated
maintain an auditable log of such actions taken
make all TOS public, and changes are announced well in advance
enforce TOS in a completely impartial manner
use verification indicators (blue checkmarks etc) exclusively for verifying that the entity the account claims to be is who actually owns it
if an “algorithm” is found to have violated the above, it must be fixed or disabled
And penalties. There’s no practical way to penalize these entities right now.
Content can't be removed unless it violates law.
When content is removed, the poster must be notified and the local or federal agency with jurisdiction is also notified.
If users can show content is removed that doesn't violate law, big penalties. 10% of penalty is given as a bounty to the person reporting the violation, so policing this is incentivized.
Now, what about trolls, disruption, etc? You can still terminate or close accounts. You just can't censor all their content. Troll comes in and spams some offtopic crap, you remove the troll, but the spam remains. That is life.
This is where capitalism comes in. Nothing is requiring social media to offer free accounts, and there are solutions to the above problems that involve registration controls, or fees.
This might kill "free" social media where the users are the product. I'm okay with that result.
ALSO:
A media site can choose to be a publisher. Nothing wrong with that, and then the can censor anything and everything they want. Drawback: they are responsible for all content on the site, and can face legal repercussions for illegal content.
I don’t know if you fully understand what’s at play here. Section 230 is what allows TD.win to have rules like “Trump supporters only, no exceptions.” It’s not illegal to not support Trump, so with your proposal we couldn’t make that rule without becoming a publisher. That’s why a clearly defined and universally enforced TOS is vital to any platform, even if it removes content that isn’t strictly violating any law
I like the idea of bounty hunting violations, but I’d go a step further: I’d have the penalties paid by the highest ranking person we can prove allowed the violation
TD.win would operate within the rules I outlined just fine.
Shills would get downvoted and banned. Nothing needs to be censored, except illegal content.
I understand it's a change from just being able to remove all content outright, but it's the only fair way I could think of that works.
"a clearly defined and universally enforced TOS is vital to any platform"
It's very easy to obfuscate and confuse the TOS such that you can pretty much ban whatever you want under shady justifications.
"As you can see, our TOS bans hate speach, and any support of Trump is clearly driven by hate so it's within scope to ban"
It's also incredibly easy to write the TOS so that virtually everything could be seen as violating it, and just selectively enforce it.
That is why I think the way I outlined things is how it would have to be.
TOS: We can remove any and all content at our discretion.
That is worthless if they interpret their own TOS and are not liable for what the AI does.
Either they are platforms and can not censor anything unless hit with a court order, or they are publishers and they are held liable for everything everyone posts and you hit them with punitive damages.
No legislative changes necessary, they will just stop censoring, and we don't need to have fedGov take over the tech industry with "regulations" that are really just communist takeovers federalizing private industries.
To your last point if they find an algorithm caused something, than they should fire or fine whoever 'accidentally' wrote that algorithm.
Otherwise they'll just blame everything on algorithms.
Government is meant to be the gang that trumps all other gangs. When you are being picked on by a gang you can't handle between you and your neighbors, you call up the government.
When it comes to an infringement of rights, government doesn't exist just to not infringe on rights. A government that did nothing would infringe on no ones rights, after all. It exists to take positive action to PREVENT others from doing so! That's the point!
We WANT the government to beat up guys who infringe on our rights!
If they are foreign governments, NUKE EM!
If they are domestic governments. DESTROY THEM!
If they are private corporations, SEIZE THEM!
If it is a private citizen, LOCK HIM UP!
Yet, Roger Stone had dozens of SWAT Team Members raid his house using Helicopters and Boats so he wouldn't escape while CNN was tipped off to film it all. FUCK ALL OF THEM!! Burn it all down as far as I am concerned.
So fucking do something about it, already!
The nation is crying out for justice
People are very tired of these cocksuckers getting away with their crimes, we have pedo Biden with photographic evidence and nothing happens, these big tech cocksuckers rigging an election, massive Democrat voter fraud and yet nothing is done.
Yeah, I thought otherwise. Good to know.
Barr will send him a sternly written letter....
ok and

Ted has issued a final statement.
🤣 I love how Cruz plays up the Zodiac conspiracy. Fucking hilarious
Was this hearing 'under oath? '
Yes.
Under oath carries as much significance as a pinky swear these days.
Did he not just lie under oath?
Anyone have the clip?
Ho Lee Fuk
Yu Dun Fuk Up
LION MF'N TED CRUZ
Judging by dorsey's beard we won't be leaving Afghanistan. We'll have to go through caves to find him.
tech god.. really? he looks like a fucking terrorist with that disgusting beard... shave that garbage off or go put on a dress and move to Iran.. imagine the smell
Arrest him now!!
If it weren't for a do-nothing DOJ and FBI, more like.
Hilarious that his team didn't immediately unblock the links. Twitter sent out an invite to all employees to watch him.
Then. Fucking. Arrest. Him.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Pussies Republicans 😔
So do something, charge him with a felony that you just caught him committing. If there are no consequences for breaking the fucking law, then these scum will just keep lying to you.
That's the DOJ's job. So I wouldn't count on anything happening.
Is this not a black and white issue? Send US Marshalls to arrest him right now.
Who would be in charge of doing that ?
Big Tech has already lied under oath before, multiple times. Stop putting on a show and fucking do something. Fucking worthless actors. If you want to put on a show join Hollywood
If it was, let's say, Roger Stone who had lied, they'd be at his house tomorrow morning at 5AM, handcuffs and cameras ready.
Don’t forget the automatic weapons pointed at his head.
Republicans say something is wrong and that's about it when it comes to actually doing something.
Kabuki theater.
Lying has become normalized, without repercussions. When falsehood posts can be tweeted, then retracted without anyone being held accountable, it is cloaked in 'opinion' or 'perspective'. If everything is believed as an opinion, there are no facts.
@Jack is probably laughing at this tweet. Probably made it his desktop background
Who would win in a fist fight between Dorsey and Zuckerberg?
They both look like weak soyboys but maybe Dorsey would win if it’s fists-only, no lizard powers for the Zucc. Otherwise, in a no holds barred fight, Zucc would probably win
So why isn't he charged?
Jack Dorsey is a liar. So why wasn’t he called out on it?
It also proves that Jack has zero control over his company. Employees have a history of doing whatever they want and he does not care.
Sen. Cruz, say these words: "Mr. Dorsey, you are under arrest."
