Do you even remember a time before Parler? Surely you remember a time before Twitter? How old are you?

Devin, here's free advice: Go back to the time before you had a little hate speech place in the Internet and be a human fucking being.

declaring martial law.

Pity you, Mr. Nunes. And, pity you more if the investigation finds you participated in the planning and management of the riot.

They broke the the rules of the media platforms they chose to use. You don’t get free reign to incite violence and overthrowing the duly elected government.

Go sit in the corner Nunes. Your 15 minutes are way over.

Because Google and Apple have banned Parler from its stores doesn't mean that the Parler app is inaccessible. It's still incredibly easy to download. Nunes seems unaware of basic WWW searches.

You’d think politicians had no way of communicating to their constituents or the public at large for the 225 years or so before the advent of social media.

What he is regretting is the inability to create a chaos of counterfactual, propagandistic noise that can drown out serious political discussion. And it’s noise that can fly beneath the radar while stirring up lots of influence.

If you want to communicate, send an email newsletter to your constituents, or hold monthly town halls. Let yourself be interviewed on television or radio. Give a speech at the Elks Lodge. And then shut up.

companies have the right to make choices to benefit their bottom line. You wouldn't want the government to regulate big business?

Insurec....no no it's Left Wing companies 'censoring' right wing ideas. Nunes should be forced to spend his entire time explaining where he stands on armed insurrection instead he's handed a talking point (yes a bullshit TP I admit) the Republicans can run with.

Trump will not be impeached and there will be no 25th amendment and I think he will hold a rally within 3 days of Biden's inaguration, if not on the day of.

He does understand that he is on TV, right?

He is making the claim he can't communicate with other republicans while communicating that BS thought on a TV show that caters to republicans and has a nationwide audience.

A Senator is claiming that he can't communicate with - not by phone, or email, or snail-mail, or meet directly to talk with - other republicans and he is saying this on national TV.
