      The irony. I believe this tweet gave Signal a huge international boost.

      Meanwhile, Mike Pence still hanging around on Facebook.

        He suffered the same fate that any Republican will who stops kissing Trump’s feet. Pence is a fucking nutbag but even he refused to stand behind Trump’s shitfuckery at the end. Now he’s been ostracized.

        He has a very low bar by most of the developed world’s standards, but he refused to lower it further for maga, so he’s history now.

          He was a conservative, not a MAGA supporter in my opinion. At the end of the day I have to see it as conservatives have ideals that do not align with mine, but MAGA is a group that believes that their ideals matter more than the people’s freedoms. They believe tearing apart a representative democracy is fine, so long as their ideology prospers at the moment, but it is VERY short sighted as their ideology isn’t why the leaders of MAGA is reforming it. Once they have reformed it the conservatives who supported MAGA will no longer have much say in anything, their votes won’t matter. The oligarchs will decide what size rations they/we deserve, and we all know those rations are shrinking and shrinking.

            he was the religious conservative that Trump needed to win the first time, once that was done he was suppose to be wallpaper. His creepy behavior made him perfectly hypocritical with Trump. His god will judge him harshly.

    He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.
