Wow. This is a stunner. I'm on r/The_Donald frequently, and she's right: people there are always decrying censorship and banning by the left, simply to try to shut down those who have a different point of view, yet it looks like they are beginning to fulfill the old saw, "You become what you resist." Kind of sickening.

The moderators there are not considered to be pro-Trump, and have banned, or shadow-banned, other pro-Trump posters.

Not really. Never heard of any of these so called publishers or writers

Reddit is useless trash

The professional conservative class has the answer to your dilemma; start your own Google, Twitter or r/The_Donald, whatever that is (/s)

I frequent The Donald as well. Flynn is a hard case. I think majority opinion is that an attack on Flynn is an attach on Trump. The Chalet is putting forward a minority opinion which is that Flynn played a role in framing Trump. Given that Trump himself has repeatedly put forward the former theory, I can see why The Donald moderators might take an attack on him as being an attack on Trump, which is of course a bannable offense at The Donald.

I’m also on T_D frequently, and I’m not really surprised by this. The 1st Amendment doesn’t apply on Reddit (on any sub) — if you doubt this, try to be pro-Trump on r/[redacted] (the left-leaning ‘politics’ subreddit whose name must never be mentioned on T_D, for fear of Reddit’s site mods accusing them of brigading).

Some interesting things I noticed:
- the article you linked is also from Chalet Books, the same website as the site that earned the ban from T_D.
- The article that earned the ban is simply a timeline... but it really doesn’t offer “proof”. The little bit of supposed proof from a handful of MSM articles is there is more “muh Russia” than anything with the scent of real news.
- The Chalet Books website isn’t about news, it’s about hocking books. It’s really that simple.
- Every link YOU have posted here on FR is also from Chalet Books... which makes me wonder what your connection is to them.

Is there a legitimate corroborating source for this claim about Flynn? I’d be interested to know if there is.

Without having more information to judge otherwise, it seems the T_D mods were right to use the banhammer.

Sowing discord and concern trolling are explicitly banned on T_D. T_D is a forum for supporting Trump, not a bastion of free speech. Support GEOTUS or hit the bricks.

Obviously, they felt your article was breaking their rules. I can see why, but I can also see why you might want to take it up with them and see if you can work it out. One thing’s for sure: Whatever the heck you’re doing here sure ain’t the way to handle it.
