The subject was censorship on Twitter. GrrrGraphics lost 2,000 in the sudden and silly 'Russian bot purge,' but we gained most of them back (and more) by the next day. We knew people who were banned for no particular reason other than their connections to conservative leaders on social media. Tweeting pro-Trump messages is intrinsic proof of Russian bots, right? Hillary thinks it is. Such anti-Russia hysteria also diverts attention away from her crimes.
We are one of the few to obtain the coveted blue check mark on Twitter. There was a young man on the news show presumably there for ideological balance. He casually stated that the blue check marks were nothing but status symbols-bragging rights that have little meaning. I was taken aback by his statement, but was unable to summon up the proper reply. After all, public speaking is not my forté. I'd rather draw cartoons.
Comment: Puppet strings. Nothing in government happens by accident. No matter how the clash between the Democrats and Republicans resolves, who goes to jail, who is impeached - the result will be the curbing or negating of the freedom of speech, as defined in this article, as well as ramifications to other freedoms of which we may be yet unaware. The players and the scenarios are incidental to the bigger picture and the insidious agenda for humanity. Curb speech, curb thinking.
