He never incited violence, only to peacefully protest. Nowhere did he incite violence, which is exactly why they failed to impeach him... twice.

It was a perfect storm, huge amounts of protesters, barely any security and a few instigators from Antifa to cause trouble...

If he never incited the attack on the Capitol then why did the Republican leadership in Congress say he was responsible and that they'd support him resigning and/or being impeached? McCarthy tapes leaked last week prove exactly that. The fact they lost their bottle later down the line is irrelevant. The Capitol insurrection was all on Trump and his lackies who were working on his orders.

As bad as you may think that is, what about Biden constantly inciting racial hatred which leads to violence (BLM riots anyone?).. Calling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist??

Biden was referring to him posing with Proud Boys and throwing a white power hand sign with them.

Musk has just said that the town square should be less one sided, the left should hurt as much as the right. As long as he gets it fairly even that is not a bad intention.

He posed for pictures with some people and did an "Ok" sign, there is literally nothing to suggest it was "Proud Boys" or he was doing a deliberate white power hand sign, they found nothing to link him to any sort of Neo Nazi groups. You are making things up.

I don't even get how twitter works, I have never understood the Left and Right when it comes to politics. All I do is follow board game/tabletop gaming stuff. Occasionally I will have a JK Rowling said this and upset people post appear but thats it.

Wasn't the OK sign a 4chan troll that the left fell for and abused?

Politics, there are many that didn't want him there and used it as an opportunity to remove him, even from his own party.

Most probably realised they may need him again in 4 years...

Yes, US main stream media got trolled by 4chan and refuse to back down on it.

The man doesn't even own a house and spends his money on trying to send a rocket to Mars, what do you think his nefarious end goals are exactly? More money than already being far richer than Jeff Bezos? lol

Who said anything about it being "nefarious"? I'm not sure there's anything nefarious about someone buying a company, increasing it's worth and then selling it again for profit.

Although i wouldn't be surprised if he gets rid within a year or two once he finds a new "toy" to play with.

You are either incredibly naive or... well we know you aren't that naive.

Prosecutors Ask Court To Ban Kyle Rittenhouse From Going To Bars, Associating With Proud Boys

Prosecutors are asking that the bond conditions for Kyle Rittenhouse be modified after photos surfaced of him displaying white supremacy hand signals in a Racine County bar. Rittenhouse is charged with killing two people during an August protest. He posted a $2 million cash bond in November and...

Not many people seem concerned at what Musk will do when China starts applying pressure over "free speech" on Twitter. Is he going to risk hurting Tesla and upsetting Beijing or will he bow to them to protect his biggest money maker?

PeterParker · 28 Apr 2022 at 17:40

What Gretta is to people on the right Kyle is to the people on the left?
Can we use the same arguments of 50+ year old men moaning about teenagers on the internet?
What are people trying to win here? virtue points?

Thats just a price those 6,999,995,000 other people will be forced to pay to protect our children!!!111ONEONE!!!

Congrats on saying a symbol used by billions without issue is actually a hate symbol because a few thousand idiots use it differently. I know we have vastly different world views but wow this seems ridiculously overkill even for you.

Yep, just like the "It's okay to be white" slogan.

They purposely chose an innocent and completely inoffensive phrase and people absolutely lost their minds. What a time to be alive.

Did I say that everyone that uses it is using in like the far right/alt right uses it? You know something can be co-opted as this hand sign has been right? Brenton Harrison Tarrant is just using it to troll us right? That other knuckle dragger is just having a laugh at a alt right rally, maybe he's LARPing being a horrible racist **** :cry:

When the alt right use it they aren't saying "ok" and if you believe they are you require help.
