I figured one of them was probably a heart attack, and said so, but I'd never have gotten the direct cause correctly in a million years.


I thought all unexplained deaths were COVID. LOL

Giuliani provided some video footage that is being suppressed by mainstream.

This is such BS
There is no suppression in the age of the internet
I follow lots of stories that MSM does not follow
I could care less that MSM does not cover
Because
In the age of the internet, I can follow any story I want
If you want to watch Giuliani videos all day, go for it.

????????
Giuliani took down videos at his own website??????
or
Giuliani went into somebody else's house to put up videos
You have no rights in somebody else's house
If somebody posts a video here, the Whiz has every right to delete it

If Fox thinks a video is important
They are not going to run to somebody else's house to post it
They will post it in their house
Rudy has the same rights

what are you talking about?

I think you can find the same videos somewhere on the web, tho I just tried youtube and couldn't find them. Fox News may be showing them, I don't know. But I am pretty sure that anybody who only gets their news from limited sources, that show things that confirm their liberal views only, won't see these videos. My wife tuned in to the CBS morning show and that was the case there today.

So what
Thats freedom
You cant force anybody to watch Rudy's videos
Thats how freedom works
You cant force a company to show Rudy's videos.
Thats how freedom works
If Rudy is too lazy to create a website to publish his videos then thats his problem
Create a website for Rudy. Problem solved. You can watch them all day in your own house

You actually want to force companies to express your view
Thats absurd

Why do conservatives argue that they have rights in somebody else's house

Trump has the correct answer to his twitter ban. Create your own platform

If I want to watch Alex Jones Videos, I'm not going to CBS morning news , ROTFL , I'm going to Alex's web site

I try to get my information from multiple sources, I don't think much of someone who, say, only watches Fox News, then thinks they are informed.

Thats great
Kudos
I also use multiple sources
but
People have the freedom and right to use one source and there is nothing anybody can do about it and should not do anything about it
Its freedom.

If you're going to be talking about it in terms of criminal charges, then my opinion is you SHOULD read it as narrowly as possible. That has nothing to do with Trump. That has to do with not setting a dangerous precedent that could de facto constrain Freedom of Speech for everybody.


I think it may be sedition for one leg of the Government to repeatedly claim the other parts (congress/courts) of government which have legally processed the issue he has -- for it to falsely claim illegal acts against it have been allowed -- that's sedition.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

McConnell says Pelosi can scream
impeachment all she wants, the
Senate will be out of session till
the 19th and the only way the
schedule could be changed is
for all 100 Senators to vote
to change it and that ain't gonna
happen. They would hear arguments
on the 19th, then reconvene at
1pm on the 20th when Trump is
no longer president. You can't
impeach a non sitting president.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
