Looks like Jack and Elon both agree that permanent Twitter bans are a bad idea. And Musk says he would welcome back to Twitter the embattled former President. I think it would be a good idea to have him back on Twitter. It would increase ad sales and interest in the platform. And I think Americans would get a better sense of what Donald is thinking of right now, especially his nutty belief that the election was stolen from him. As crazy as Hillary believing 2016 was stolen from her.

Well, Trump's platform has only been online for a couple weeks and already has about a 1000 x more interest than CNN+. I doubt he gets back on Twitter but who knows, he does love to inflict brain damage on the weak and easily offended.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I am not a big fan of D'Souza. There was clearly some voter fraud going on, but I also know there were plenty of Americans who were tired of Trump by that point. 24/7 media attacks on him for the last five years brought out a lot of people who don't normally vote. Hard to fake billions of Biden votes, especially when many of those for Joe were also choosing Republican congressmen.

Fred,
I think you meant to type millions rather the billions. Though it does not make a difference. We are a republic , in which the President is elected by the Electoral College not by a popular vote of the people.
It took few votes in key districts to alter the electoral votes of the respective states, from one candidate to another (i.e. Trump to Biden).
I have not watched 2000 mules, plan to at my convenience. However from my reading I do not think that the film will provide any further information to buttress my opinion that there was significant voter irregularities in those key states.

Would you be willing to have an open mind, even if you don't like the guy? I know never-Trumpers and they all seem to line up in the same camp as you. They say the election was investigated and there was no fraud. When I ask them who investigated and what they found, they never mention all these people on video stuffing ballot boxes in multiple areas is a short period of time.
BTW, you're smart enough to know that it wouldn;t take millions of votes to change the results, they just have to be concentrated in the areas where voter laws were magically changed at the last minute. The fact that those changes don't even cause you to raise an eyebrow tells me a lot.
Open your mind Fred and watch the movie, I promise you'll see things you can not explain away as inconsequential and anecdotalal. Don't be like people on the left who are covering their eyes and ears, afraid to be proven wrong.

BTW, I can promise you with 100% certainty that the leftists will try toi change voter laws again and they will once again use Covid as an excuse. They will attempt to make elections as insecure as possible because they have NOTHING to run on other than the misery they are spreading.

Agree. The Democrats tried to nationalize elections this term. Expect them to do the same in 2023. Biden's DOJ is going after Texas and other states for the way they run their elections. Missouri tonight banned drop boxes and now requires photo ID to vote! Colorado should do the same.
