Lefty advertisers need to be "hauled in front of Congress" for leaving Musk Twitter !!

[Pluvious]

What we REALLY need is a MOAR Authoritative Government !

@AmoneyResists

So an advisor to the most powerful Republican member of the Senate is
putting out lists of companies who have pulled their ads from twitter and
suggesting they be
"hauled in front of Congress" if the GOP regains control
of the House. Nothing authoritarian about this.

2. Funny how they hate free markets and free speech. Nt

6. Exactly. The invisible hand of the market and all that.

3. Not advertising is extortion !??

Musk not only isn't a First Amendment absolutist, he has no idea what the Freedom of Speech provision means.

4. Mr. Holmes worked for Turtleboy McFuckface.

Look! He's just pulled his head out of Mitch's asshole.

5. So it was ok for RWNJ to threaten to not ad on NFL over kneeling

Just wanted to make certain that I understand the double standard.

7. Wait a minute. That's threatening the free market.

The pure, perfect, infallible, all-powerful free market.

Since when do repukes hate the free market?

8. This fits with some of them saying firms should be banned from caring for the environment

or taking any kind of ethical consideration into account in how they do business. They want to be able to force electricity generators to use coal, for instance. In their worldview, companies are for making short-term profits for rich people and for nothing else. So if Musk needs to hold on to advertisers, then they think they can harass those who see him as toxic.

9. Not surprising

That the guy who payed way too much for a social media platform and then promptly drove it into the ground doesn’t understand the first thing about the free market.

The House would be fucking stupid to try and punish any business for exercising it’s right to invest its money where they deem best. Regardless of the party in control.

10. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

11. "Leftist corporate"

Because we all know multinational corporations always have our best interests in mind and CEOs are raging leftists.

[Emrys]

12. Aren't leftist corporates people?

And hence have the rights accorded to people under the Constitution?

I seem to vaguely recall some court judgment about that a while back.

24. Corporate free speech only counts in choosing which politicians to bribe.

13. I said on another thread that soon enough,

the only advertisers on twitter will be The My Pillow guy and cash for gold.

and...

14. You forgot erectile dysfunction products. n/t

[mercuryblues]

15. Oh God yes.

I was wondering if I should have included that disgraced preacher and his buckets of prepper food.

But I'm to lazy to look up his name.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Jim Bakker... prepper slop... FIFY

[mercuryblues]

20. Thank you

I could not remember his name. Only that every time I see one of his ads, I LMAO.

[keithbvadu2]

21. And people still send him the bucks... the con goes on with the cash.

[GenThePerservering]

18. The ratio on that thread is sublime NT

[Meowmee]

22. Oy vey 😹

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

spectrum.
