Another reason Elon/Twitter is screwed:

"New research shows that Twitter fails to act on 99% of hate posted by Twitter Blue subscribers, suggesting that the platform is allowing them to break its rules with impunity and is even algorithmically boosting their toxic tweets."

Blue subscribers get prioritized rankings. Another example today with Jamix Foxx. Saying he's paralyzed and blind from the Covid shot. Truth is daughter said he's fine.

You post hatred towards Christians , a lot appears to be your own opinions , but there is no law that says you can not do that , or that you have to like Christian’s.

There are lines not to cross though , calling or threatening violence , wishing death upon someone or their family , things of that nature are unacceptable IMO

But , there are no laws about having to like anyone , agree with anyone

Not going to be President:​

Ron DeSantis' pastor says gay people should be "put to death"​

"The pastor who delivered the invocation at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) second inauguration has said that gay people should be put to death.

Tom Ascol — senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida — made his comment on Twitter while criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On Monday, Cruz issued a tweet criticizing Uganda’s new “Anti-Homosexuality Act,” a law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with death.

“We can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.”

Cruz’s tweet called the law “horrific & wrong,” adding, “Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for ‘aggravated homosexuality’ is grotesque & an abomination. ALL civilized nations should join together in condemning this human rights abuse.”

Ascol disagreed, writing on Tuesday, “Tell it to God, Ted.”

The pastor then cited Leviticus 20:13, the Old Testament verse that says, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”

Ascol asked, “Was this law God gave to His old covenant people ‘horrific and wrong’?”

Steve Bannon is a racist grifter making a living creating drama about Trump.

He's just another player in the radical conservative gang of grifters... such an oxymoron.

Well, he is Trump's former advisor and chief strategist.
Later they broke, but Tump is still following his former advisor's "user's manual".

True. One of Trump's biggest failures was picking staff.

Bannon weaseled his way into managing Breitbart.com after Andrew Breirbart died. Andrew as a great mind and transformed the Republican party.

As fare as I can tell, Bannon's just moved from one hustle to another. He's poison.

 

[mr-x]

So basically, nothing has changed except anyone can pay to be verified now and both sides have equal power.

Fair enough

I don't think having an opinion, good or bad about how people behave or their culture is hateful. There is a trend on the left to call speech they don't like hate or violence. The purpose is to stop people from speaking truthfully.

Believing children should be adopted by a married man and women, rather than a single person or two men or two women is based on data about what gives a child the best chance for a healthy ego and a good life.

Allowing children to be adopted by a single parent or gay couple which may be their only choice for a home is a practical compromise.

On the other hand, hating individuals for being gay, or black, or Christian, using slurs, is clearly hateful and wrong.

 

[mr-x]

Which has nothing to do with the video I posted. It was 100% truth, just acknowledging what we already knew. Well, I guess some got fooled

You posted a video of a man giving an opinion. I was commenting on the character of the man giving that opinion.

Like many on the left and right, Bannon lies, gossips and incites hatred for a living.

 

[mr-x]

Is Chick Fil A on the Cancel list for the right now? Well known Christian business......

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1663871010259492866

This tweet mischaracterizes Mr Cathy's idea. I haven't heard about anyone boycotting Chik-fil-A for being a Christian company except democrats.

While I think the way Mr. Cathy expressed his idea is pandering and easily taken as virtue signaling, I understand his sentiment.

People in leadership should get out of their bubble and volunteer for mission work in American communities more often than they attend "talks".

After being banned by Instagram, John F. Kennedy jr. will do a live Spaces event on Twitter.

People claiming twitter is dead, Musk doesn't know what he's doing are going to eat crow.

The Pastor should stay out of politics. On the other hand, saying he thinks people should be put to death for being gay is a lie.

If someone took time to ask the Pastor what he believed, he would say Jesus Christ will judge EVERYONE at the end of time.

The punishment for homosexual sex is the same as adultery and bearing false witness. Jesus came to free people from condemnation through faith and repentance. That is the new covenant.

No man is able to judge the heart of another, that is left to Christ.


7 So when they continued asking Him, He [g]raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being[h] convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up [i]and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers [j]of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.”

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go [k]and sin no more.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 8&version=NKJV



The Pastor's explanation is just as bad imo.

Cruz didn't call "what God did" an abomination. This Pastor isn't worthy of the title.

Bannon lies, gossips and incites hatred for a living.

These are the people you supported in this thread, direct quote from you:

"Bannon is scary but has an impress list of accomplishments."

Um, no. It's becoming a right wing hate machine. Just do a search on Pride Month and the comments. And again, right wing accounts get pushed up, meaning hate gets pushed up. Elon himself is now pushing hate. Elon wants a free for all, what you get is a free for all of misinformation, hate etc. Twitter is now a big anti-gay site. Elon will pay the price for this in the future. Loss of advertisers, loss of users. I will point this out in the future when it happens. You guys don't think Bluesky will take a big chunk out of Twitter? I'm gone once I can finally get an account there.

Thank you, but here is the whole quote:

My quote was from 2017. What has he done since being fired from Trump beside grift? How does any of that make his speculative comments on Trump less speculative?
