Parler is back, in case anyone was wondering.

Haven't tried it yet since they've reintroduced it.. Might give it a whirl, but pretty happy with Gab..

Tell ya what though, best thing I've ever done was leave Twitter.. Very tyrannical over there..

Edit:

All of my Parler info was saved, to my surprise.. Still have all of my followers and the people I follow, kinda cool..

Might just use both..

So... to recap... if you support an African American that is conservative or appointed by one they, and you are racist?

We’re living in a joke. But when push comes to shove, I hope they understand who all they’re pissing off. But, I suppose, it’ll occur to them at the time. This is well past ridiculous.

Its okay to be black. Unless you're a black conservative.

Its also okay to be a female Supreme Court judge nominee. Unless you're conservative female SC judge nominee. Remember last year when the Girl Scouts highlighted the five women who have been appointed to the SC during Amy Coney Garrett's confirmation hearing and congratulated her? Remember the backlash from the left was so bad they deleted their tweets? Isn't this the same group who is all about girl power?

Its only okay when it fits their agenda.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Bezos is out there just swinging his thing around.
Remember he owns the Washington Post.
He's probably met most of the SC Justices by now. I'd guess he has a personal beef against Thomas, and I'd bet it has more to do with some NSA level stuff than it does any culture war thing.

I'm sure hating Trump was worth it.

They've tapped into the Las Vegas and Reno service worker vote who are looking to stick it to the gambling/entertainment and hotel industries. I predict the headlines we'll see next out of Nevada will be protests for $15 minimum wage and threats of strike.

Cinderella needs to go because it shows "white privilege".

Bambi needs to go because it "offends" vegans.

My best guess is the people making these decisions are males dressed in skinny jeans wearing man-buns that sit to pee along with females with hairy armpits.

I don't disagree with the D+ decision on those four, the stereotypes are really out of date culturally and don't represent current norms. The Dumbo character's literal name is Jim Crow and he's a black bird singing a minstrel song. The use of "Indian" and "Oriental" stereotypes are similarly outdated. That content should be recognized as part of our history but not as children's entertainment, and that's how Disney is approaching it by giving it an Adult rating. It's not like they are banning it like they did poor Song of the South.

Way to go dude I knew you had it in you.
Uncomfortable truth: disney is still run mostly by white Americans, so more recent portrayals of non white people, such as Princess and the Frog and Moana, may be considered similarly outdated 50 years from now. That's OK. Let time do its work.

I bought an overseas copy of Song of the South about 15 years ago.. Love that movie, total collectors item.. I have pretty much most of the older Disney movies in my collection.

I read tonight that these looney leftists are trying to cancel Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory now because it's supposed to represent slavery.. Sad sad time in this country..

I don't know if it's news there, but University of Texas is under fire for having Eyes of Texas as their fight song because of 'racist undertones'.  They formed a committee to investigate the song's intent and a panel (that contained black and white individuals) found no issue.  As for now, the university president is saying the song stays.

Wanna bet the state flag is next? The prescribed proper way to fly the flag is with white on top. That’s overtly racist.

Stating fact is now considered racist and will result in termination, even if you aren't the one stating the fact.
