    Heard on the radio on the way to work that Parler came back online yesterday. They still don't have access to an app store, but they found server hosting.

    Are you able to sign in? Just curious.

    Nope...didn’t poo poo the link. I just merely pointing out who actually said it. You claimed CNN said it. You were wrong. Which is why I had you post the link. I needed you to show your claim to be wrong. And you did. Thank you

    You do understand the meaning of "broadcaster", I hope.

    What does that have to do with Stamos being the one who said it and not CNN?

    Are you being intentionally obtuse? CNN decides what content they air and who the invite as guests. If the guest doesn't convey the "proper" narrative that clip would never air to the public.

    This is not rocket science.

    You mean like having people like Sen Hawley on to defend Republican Party and its agenda as well as talk about his decision to challenge the electoral college vote? So is Hawley part of CNNs narrative???

    I get the idea of Parler. But I know many who went and tried it. It’s just not a good platform and except for a select few most hate it.

    Hawley is most definitely part of CNN's narrative of hypocritical hate and blame, as a target, not as a guest.

    Hawley isn't on CNN in that clip. That link you provided would be a clip of CNN propagandists slamming Josh Hawley as a liar and someone they project as "guilty".

    Thanks for proving my point though.

    While Parler has been down, people signed up on GAB and found GAB more user-friendly than Parler. The downside appears to be that GAB appears to have a strong "Q" vibe which might make people hesitate about joining.

    Sorry, Scott Jennings was defending Repubs and Trump. Point being that CNN had someone on who defended Trump.

    Jenkins was not defending Trump. He defending continued support of traditional Republican values. Did you even listen to the clip you posted? :rolleyes:

    I'm about to give up on the idea of having an intelligent dialogue with you.

    Is Trump not the head of the Repub party? Come on, try a little harder will you.

    Trump isn't a Republican anymore than Bernie Sanders would be a Democrat if he were to become president. Most Trump supporters have little to no loyalty to the Republican Party, though traditional Republicans like Jenkins may have voted Trump because the Biden platform is so awful as the only other alternative. Anyway, nice deflection.

    Now you’re just making excuses. I’ve always voted Repub except for 2016 and 2020 when I when third party. No one HAD to vote for Trump due to the other option not being a great one also.

    It's not a matter of Biden being "not great also". The current Democrat Party's platform is dangerous to America, our rights and our democracy. Trump was "just" rude.

    I read Jarred K talked him out of joining both Parler and GAB. That "may be" temporary advice until he's out of office. There is talk that Trump is thinking about starting his own social media company as well.

    Oh stop. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been told by people from both sides how a current president is “dangerous” and is going to “destroy” America except here we are and America is still not destroyed. People like you love to overreact. It’s getting real old.

    It will only be awful until the 2022 mid-terms when the country strips away any real muscle from his banana republic.

    Meanwhile, two days before "shift change":

    We’re gonna be just fine. The sky isn’t going to fall. Take a few deep breaths.

    No worries. The Big Tech Oligarchy is the new government administration. The foxes are guarding the hen house. What could possibly go wrong?

    You’re kidding right? You do realize Biden isn’t in office yet, right? Can you tell what power he currently has to stop the impeachment process? And how exactly, as a president-elect has he “surrendered” to China? Why couldn’t believe he’s questioned the loyalty of our troops?
