Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler

This is wildly incorrect. ' Q anon supporters storming the capitol with guns, zip ties, and pipe bombs, chanting "hang mike pence' is a dangerous media fantasy. A huge number of people demonstrated, a tiny number broke the law. We are entering very dangerous, 1930's Reichstag like 'problem, reaction, solution' authoritarianism with these free speech crack downs. Patriot Act 2.0 is ready to go versus 'domestic terrorists'.

Quite the contrary. If anything, the coverage did not show the full story. The majority of these people were out for blood. They erected hanging stations. The fought with the police. This was no demonstration. These people were to overturn the election and hurt or kill anyone who got in their way. Free speech decidedly does not protect this.

Elections cannot be over turned by occupying a building in the USA for a couple hours, This is unnecessarily hyperbolic and very partisan.

Congress completed their duties later in the evening.

Everything said by the person you replied to is the truth, not hyperbole. Just because the mob and their fatal invasion of the nation's capitol was not successful does not mean that their motives were not anti-democratic.

Why are you apologizing for the insurrection's actions?

Strangely, the "motley crew out of central casting" got arrested. Are you claiming that these are "paid actors"? Damn dedicated actors if they are.

The Many Occasions Joe Biden Took Credit For Writing The Patriot Act

Biden has repeatedly claimed that a bill he wrote in 1994 was essentially the same as the 2001 Patriot Act.

MSNBC are an absolute disgrace IMO. 'The Proud Boys and QAnon supporters are the ones behind this.'

These are tiny bogey man segments of society cable TV bobbleheads terrify everyone with to help justify removing people's basic rights. The incoming biden crew have a Patriot Act 2.0 ready to go to combat 'domestic terrorists', which could include just about anyone who doesn't comply with the party line
