Government worked to ‘censor Americans’ prior to 2020 election

Huh... are you incompetent when people do what they shouldn't. This is your default assumption with Trump, but you give yourself grace. Furthermore, you find yourself in solidarity with a group that went beyond the scope of their jobs and censored objectively true statements and obvious parody that disenfranchises your "fellow" conservatives. You attack the one and defend the other. Not only that, but every director from the Trump administration also denies implementing this policy. Just saying, Mikey, you should be less dogmatic about your starting positions. It's ok for us to push back against the government. 

I feel like that line of debate is relatively wrapped up, don't you? Now I'll just sit and wait for NYC to post that DHS mandate.

I'm not in charge of any government workers.  This whole thread is preposterous.  Some of what I'm saying, I'm just trying to point out how absurd it is that we're even talking about this. At some point you were supposed to catch that.  Multiple times I mentioned the absence of lawful and clear orders from Trump on this.  But think that through.  "I order all federal government employees not to contact social media moderators for any reason, even if they contact you." This is lawful and clear on its face, but, each of these workers have private lives.  Many of them had personal Twitter accounts and professional ones.  Trump would have been rightly ridiculed for making such an order. Biden would too, if he did.  Let it go.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
