Jim Jordan, a member of the so-called "free market" and "small government" party, is using his platform and power to demand why companies are not patronizing his favorite social media company.
A republican being a hypocrite?
Gasp!
Next thing you’ll tell me is that he’s a lying rape-enabler!
O boy do I have news for you
Jim Jordan showing his masters what a good boy he is.
None of the companies want to “censor conservative” views. It’s just that, in the current moment, more conservatives believe in nonsense and conspiracy theories, in part due to efforts by nonsense peddlers like Jim Jordan.
This is my favorite quote.
You know what is a terrifying thought? If media companies thought they could make more money peddling lies and conspiracy theories, they absolutely would. Truth only gets published because it is currently more valuable than lies.
Dude's lifelong dream has been to become chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
free speech gym.
companies have the right to advertise wherever they choose to advertise. platforms for advertising are not guaranteed advertisers.
not unless you want to force them to advertise on platforms they don't want to be on. but that would no longer be capitalism, what would that be? I can't think of it it's right at the tip of my tongue...
Someone bought a ton of shares and is now in a doom cycle!!
Great job, Gym!
Probably his rich backers are the ones heavily ~~laundered~~ invested in that shit-show.
I swear Gym Jordan is like a caricature of a caricature.
They just went public, aren't looking too great, and now they want what is essentially attestations of their resemblance to a dumpster fire.
He should definitely subpoena them😂😆
Jim is a fucking clown 🤡
Congress is an entirely unserious entity because of members like him.
Nah they could just invoke the Jordan Rule -- subpoenas don't have to be followed if the following House doesn't want to enforce them.
They could start running ads about how he helped protect a child molester.
I wonder if ads like that would make it on truth social? I’d imagine they wouldn’t be up long, but also understand the dilemma between advertising to the morons, and supporting Donny’s scam.
Because if your company advertises to a site which caters to Nazis, you’re a Nazi company.
To Jim Jordan:
Go fash, no cash.
Signed,
The major ad companies
FREE SPEECH means FORCING companies to Advertise on websites you have Stock Options in!
Does he really not know? What a fucking idiot.
I wonder how much his election campaign spends there.
Gym, who did nothing to help the young men that were raped in his state - when he had the position to do so.
He must have been one of those super bratty kids who refused to do anything they didn’t want to and screamed as loud as they could in the supermarket.
And whined particularly loudly when Mom got in a longer line on purpose, just to go down the aisle with books instead of candy
No one wants their products to be associated with Truth Social's clientele.
The companies should buy an ad spot on WaPo or whatever saying no client wants to be associated with all the bullshit on that far right shit hole site.
Nah, the best way is to blackhole it. Ignore it even exists and it will crash and burn into obscurity.
Supply and Demand:
The Truth Social supplies a product that has little to no demand.
Nazis maybe?
Jim Jordan is mentally retarded and should not have more power than the ability to use a can opener.
I'm not confident he could use a can opener tbh
