DONALD TRUMP, who during his presidency was involved in more than four thousand lawsuits, and is still involved in many of them, is becoming involved in even more. Of those which have been resolved, Trump has lost most, for most of his claims are baseless, like most of his comments generally. Of his sixty one federal suit claiming election fraud, for example, all but one was tossed out of court, one federal judge asking: "Is that all you've got"? His most recent attempt involves suits filed against Facebook, Twitter, and Google, all for banishing him from their social media platforms. These allegations of unconstitutional censorship are no better than the rest; he'll lose, then find some ludicrous pretest upon which to base a false claim of victory, as per his style. The first amendment clearly gives social media platforms the right to banish anyone they choose, with or without cause. When the president of the United States uses social media to assemble an angry mob, the incites said mob to insurrection in an attempt to overthrow the United States government and overturn the results of a presidential election, when the United States president uses social media to libel and defame people, to constantly tell blatant lies and spread deliberate disinformation, there is ample cause. All legal experts agree, and there is abundant precedent; Trump's new lawsuit will be dismissed. Only Congress is prohibited from infringement on free speech; Facebook is not Congress. Trump, a long time loser legally and in nearly every other conceivable manner, is doomed to lose yet again. Equally humorous and pathetic are Trump's amazingly remaining millions of sycophantic followers, the mad MAGA mob, filled to overflowing with pious but morally deficient evangelical "Christians". Since social media platforms are not exclusively free flowing conduits for conservative disinformation and ideological garbage, since Trump's MAGA mob comprises a mere minority of the American people, and since politically conservative evangelical Christian culture enjoys much less than a monopolistic domination of American culture, the dwindling conservative demographic, its death rattles audible as it sinks into oblivion with the Trump albatross anchored to its straining neck, provides a clownish spectacle, uselessly wailing is being censored by big tech. Actually, the modern American conservative movement is self censoring, by hitching its wagon to a failed, criminal demagogue, by abandoning sanity and rejecting reality, and by abandoning any pretext of moral decency, as it continues its suicidal descent to the deepest, darkest level of depravity.
