Ever since FB & Twitter's censorship orgy, all we heard is it's no big deal. Liberals invoked the libertarian mantra that private corporations can do what they want, you can just build a competitor if you don't like it. But you can't: they're monopolies.

Melissa Chen @MsMelChen

Well it's a private company so if you don't like it, you can always...

"create your own social network" "create your own app ecosystem" "create your own payment system" "create your own Web hosting service" "create your own power company" "create your own... country."

It was a Democratic-controlled House sub-committee that just a few months ago issued a lengthy report concluding that FB, Amazon, Google & Apple are monopolies. That means competition is impossible. Now Dems are happy that it's used for them:

THEY SAY THAT BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO —

House: Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Google have “monopoly power,” should be split

Blockbuster report calls for beefing up enforcement and aiming for breakups.

For anyone who thinks "Liberals' 9/11" is hyperbolic, not only are Biden & people like @NormOrnstein demanding new anti-terrorism laws (applied domestically), but liberals are explicitly analogizing the Capitol breach to 9/11. It doesn't take inferences:

Imagine 9/11, only no press conferences explaining what happened or what was ongoing, and a third of Congress expressing sympathy with Al Qaida and urging us to forget the attack in the name of unity.

The House must as an immediate step pass a domestic terrorism statute, with a focus on white supremacist terrorism, and send it to the Senate.

Biden Says Rioters Who Stormed Capitol Were Domestic Terrorists

President-elect says Trump supporters who attacked legislative complex were insurrectionists, not protesters

President-elect Joe Biden called the violence in Washington, D.C., ‘one of the darkest days in the history of our nation.’

By Ken Thomas and Sabrina Siddiqui Updated Jan. 7, 2021 2:23 pm ET

Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them.

‘Infamy’: Chuck Schumer Compares Capitol Chaos To Pearl Harbor

By  Jon Brown Jan 7, 2021   DailyWire.com

It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy.

This temple to democracy was desecrated, its windows smashed, our offices vandalized. The world saw Americans’ elected officials hurriedly ushered out because they were in harm’s way. The House and Senate floors were places of shelter until the evacuation was ordered, leaving rioters to stalk these hallowed halls. Lawmakers and our staffs, Average citizens who love their country, serve it every day, feared for their lives. I understand that one woman was shot and tragically lost her life. We mourn her and feel for her friends and family.

I want to be very clear: Those who performed these reprehensible acts cannot be called protesters – no, these were rioters and insurrectionists, goons and thugs, domestic terrorists. They do not represent America. They were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol building and attack our democracy.
