BREAKING - Trump BANNED On Twitter

Again?

Permanently this time.

Official tweet

YES!!!!! Pelosi just issued a press release, too. 25th and/or impeachment coming.

I'll just leave this here....

Laughing my ass off right now

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

JFC finally.

OMG -- it's like cutting off his air supply!

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!’

That's covfefing unbelievable!

LOL I think FB, Insta, Youtube, and Snap also suspended him.

So does that mean he (and any number of impostors) can create new accounts that are not verified but purport to be him?

This is basically: "Off with his head!"

[quote]LOL I think FB, Insta, Youtube, and Snap also suspended him.

He's still OK with us!

Beautiful.

I would hate to be within 50 miles of him right now

Was that tweet about the MAGATs never being ignored or disrespected again the last one? Or did he post something else after that?

Yayyyyyyy!!!

Were the tweets in question new since yesterday, or were they reviewing old tweets?

Bye bitch!

Anybody know what his most recent Tweets were? Were they more lies about the election, or further incitement to violence?

Apparently Friendster and Myspace have banned him already, R15.

Gone gone gone

HAHA FUCK FACE 🤡🤡🤡

There were two new ones today R20.

Why now? I mean did he tweet something within the last hour?

There’s still the official POTUS account

“Donald Trump is on MySpace”

Is he going to hop on tumblr with all the emo, wrist-cutting pansexual non binary teens????

He will die soon.

He cannot live without it.

His audience of 88.8 million people are gone forever.

The thoughts he has while taking shits will no longer be broadcast and repeated by every news outlet on Earth.

He has no reason to go on. He will die soon of depleted energy. Mark my words.

Kellyanne is gonna be getting an earful.

*snigger*

Trump is on Parler.

It’s all explained in R24

I think he and his people are on Parler.

How long before @therealJohnBarron account is up and telling us how many many many people are angry at Twitter for banning the greatest president ever?

I’m loving this but now I kinda feel scared, he can still wreak havoc for the next few days.

Before I found out his account had been suspended I hat tweeted there needs to be a media blackout on Trump and for the media to stop playing his damn videos.

Ann Coulter always mocks Trump for not doing anything about Big Tech, especially after it’s too late. The power of Twitter, Facebook and Google should have been addressed earlier in his administration. Now he’s fucked.

Free speech!! First Amendment!! Censorship!!

*had

I get the sense that they don't care for Parler since it's just an echo chamber and they aren't owning anyone.

Last tweet I saw (about an hour ago) was from earlier today -- the one announcing he is skipping the inauguration.

I think he was banned due to tweets on Wednesday.

This will literally kill a malignant narcissist like him.

Sounds like Dorsey got an employee revolt.

If a fat, narcissistic retard makes loud stupid noises and there is no twitter, Facebook, or Youtube to record it, did it even make a sound?

Note to self: Buy Twitter sock at the opening bell tomorrow ...

[quote]Sounds like Dorsey got an employee revolt.

Dorsey's pretty revolting on his own.

SAD LAST DAYS

Free Speach! This is Amurika!

For Trump, Parler is like shopping at the dollar store instead of Cartier. It’s just an enormous hit.

HAHAHAHAHA!

To be honest I’m shocked. Trump’s account alone accounts fir an estimated 20% of twitters ad revenue.

If anyone walking in the area 1600 penn ave tonight spots a man on the roof, please fulfill your patriotic duty to this country and scream: jump, you fat fuck!!!

Thank you R51! I was just going to post that. This is my fav thread of the week.

How long before he's on suicide watch? The takedown is moving very fast.

Fox News not even mentioning it.

Does he have “an” Onlyfans?

I can’t wait to go to Twitter to see what Trump has to say about THIS! Tee hee!

You know it’s bad when something like this feels like a fucking New Year’s Eve celebration.

🎉🥳🎊🎉🥳🎊🎉🥳🎊🎉🥳🎊🎉🥳🎊

[quote] Was that tweet about the MAGATs never being ignored or disrespected again the last one? Or did he post something else after that?

I think so. That may have been the final straw, actually.

All his tweets deleted - finally justice

the chinless wonder responds

I wonder if he will just start having Jr or Ivakunt post his tweets for him? But then again, Twitter will just exterminate them also.

Is that him on the WH roof?

I sometimes can't quite believe the Grand Ole Party has brought us to the point news channels and very serious people have to talk about the President of the Goddamn United Fucking States of America being thrown off a platform called Twitter like he's some kind of 14 year old girl who was harassing her rival cheerleader.

Thank you, Republicans. Thank you for bringing us to this moment.

I’m about to go grocery shopping at Rainbow, a few blocks from Twitter. Should I bring my own duck-and-cover desk just in case?

@herrtrumpfsavior

[quote] Note to self: Buy Twitter sock at the opening bell tomorrow ...

Note to me too, R47!

JFK Jr. will now reveal himself on Twitter to avenge Trump's banning. This was all part of the plan.

The rats have been fleeing the sinking ship. Now the roaches are being exterminated. IvanKunt, do you have anything to say? Jr?

If you don’t think they’re coming for you next, you’re wrong.

Threat - get rid of him too

This may be the thing that finally breaks Trump and makes him resign.

[quote] To be honest I’m shocked. Trump’s account alone accounts fir an estimated 20% of twitters ad revenue.

They were already well established before him and will be much better after him.

[quote] Was that tweet about the MAGATs never being ignored or disrespected again the last one?

There was one more- saying he would not be attending Biden’s inauguration (for all the people who had been asking)

[quote]If you don’t think they’re coming for you next, you’re wrong.

They're not coming for me because I don't use it.

Ha!

They stole Trump's megaphone from him! However is he going to live now?

Who's running the aneurism betting pool?

R62 Watching then cry and get banned for inappropriate posts is going to be so delicious.

[quote]Note to self: Buy Twitter sock at the opening bell tomorrow ...

I think they only sell them in pairs.

R76 omg. That IS NOT an official tweet from Biden!

😂🤣😂🤣😂

How long before he slinks off to Mar-a-Lago with his tail between his legs?

R81, it's not of course. But damn I wish.

It sounds like the tweet what done im in was the seemingly neutral one about not being at the Inauguration. Twitter took that as a message to his supporters to attack.

Wonderful though this news is, it's infuriating that it took so many years for his inflammatory account to be removed when women have been banned from Twitter for referring to men as "he".

If they’ve deleted all the tweets I hope the Library of Congress has already archived all of them. They’re part of the Nation’s history and are sacred documents which must be protected and cherished for generations.

They need to permanently cut off the wi-fi there.

They are part of legal investigations, too.

Michelle Goldberg from the NYT on MSNBC "I'm going to have to think through the first amendment ramifications of this..."

WTF? Twitter is a private company. There are no first amendment ramifications.

So fucking true:

[quote]If they’ve deleted all the tweets I hope the Library of Congress has already archived all of them. They’re part of the Nation’s history and are sacred documents which must be protected and cherished for generations.

The account suspended was his personal account. There's a separate account for Trump as POTUS. That one automatically gets disabled for posting after he is no longer POTUS.

But in either case, Twitter still has all the data.

Posted this on one of the many other threads about this... but he still has access to @POTUS. Or someone in that dog-and-pony-show office does. Hopefully he does not have the password.

NYT is garbage staffed with GOP bootlickers.

FOX NEWS is already SCREAMING about FREE SPEECH!

As Twitter would put it, I was today years old when I finally understood what it means to bump old threads as a way of getting new ones hidden at the bottom.

R90 Jesus fucking Christ- she’s a journalist, and she doesn’t know that? Pathetic

r91 They probably gave the honor to the Employee-of-the-Month or some other deserving person as a special reward.

That’s good. Corral him and his followers on Parler. Easier following them at one place. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Parler gets shut down altogether.

He's got plenty of medium to speak. He can always go on FOX NEWS. They will be happy to broadcast him 24/7.

Reporting live and thinking on the spot are not the strong suits of anyone at the NYT. They are only able to write lengthy op-eds about deplorables in red states.

“If Trump can’t be trusted to tweet, can he be trusted with the nuclear codes? Just asking for 7 billion friends.”

This.

Parler won't get shut down, but Apple is considering removing it from the app store. Nobody wants anything to do with this toxic piece of shit known as Donald Trump anymore.

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[quote] He can always go on FOX NEWS.

He hates FOX. He’s been bitching about FOX for weeks (on Twitter, lol.)

I'm glad Twitter banned Trump, but I think Apple threatening to ban Parler because it disapproves of their moderation policy treads a dangerous line.

If GOOGLE 'bans' an app from Google Play store, it sucks for the app, but it's not the end of the world... as long as they aren't banished from the entire Play Services ecosystem (which would affect everything from SSO to location services).

If APPLE bans an app, it's literally 'game over' as far as anyone with a non-jailbroken IOS device is concerned. Getting banned by Apple is only marginally better than having your domain name siezed, or getting blocked by a nation-state (the way India has done to a few sites)(China is another story entirely, taking it up a thousand notches).

A service like Twitter ought to have wide latitude to censor its users, as long as those disagreeing with a policy can go elsewhere. When an entire hardware platform starts banning, the whole "it's a free market... find another service or start your own" argument goes down the toilet. Not even fucking MICROSOFT could elbow its way into today's smartphone ecosystem, and Microsoft literally INVENTED most of its "foundation" technologies (contrary to Apple propaganda, iPhone wasn't the first 'smart phone'... Windows Mobile was ugly as sin & sucked as a literal PHONE, but it gave us shit circa 2005 that iPhones didn't support for YEARS after 2010). If not even MICROSOFT can elbow its way in to become viable platform #3, there's ZERO hope anyone ELSE can.

I never thought I'd see someone go completely mad right before my eyes. Now I've seen it.

[quote] treads a dangerous line.

You’ve lost me. What’s the “dangerous line”?

watch out

5 years too late

Lets not forget Trump tried to ban Tik Tok. There is a lot of irony in Trump being banned and Tik Tok stronger than ever.

Remember it sounds like a broken record. Hillary was eight about him all along.. It was she that told him via tweet, "delete tour account" 4 years ago.

So has the orange turd opened a parler account?

This clown tweeted or re-tweeted over 50,000 times during his 4 years in the WH. SMH.

For those asking upthread, his tweets have been archived here.

He did the other day R113.

This is not at all suspicious.

This feels so fucking good.

r108, read the whole post.

The barriers to entry for an entire hardware platform (IOS, Android) is orders and orders of magnitude higher than the barriers to entry for creating a niche alternative to a service like Twitter. Apple & Google exercise the kind of duopoly power that not even 1970s IBM or AT&T would have dared to openly exercise.

[bold]THANK.

GOD.[/bold]

WHY the fuck did it take them so long?

[bold]FIRE JACK DORSEY.[/bold] He has blood on his hands.

This is a game-changer. Twitter is this fuckers oxygen tank. This could be the most serious threat to him as he tries to recoup his insane followers.

Will someone please shit in my ear? My head is empty and I'd like to fill it.

R119 So basically you’re saying that Apple banning Parler is bad because it means they have too much power, is that it?

Biden wins. Senate turns blue. Twitter bans Trump.

It's like Christmas keeps happening over and over and over.

Statement from Twitter

Karen Trump

Why hello good sirs

Private companies should not be policing speech. We need a state run online public commons, beholden to the 1A, not private policy. It’s idiotic and dangerous to leave this in the hands of private financial interests.

r123, in a word... yes.

The same power to ban an app like Parler for WrongThink™ could be used to ban apps like Scruff, Growlr, and Grindr. And in fact, HAS been used against all 3 apps multiple times in the past.

R128, we shouldn't be using the government to police social media.

If you don't like Twitter, don't post there. Having a Twitter account is a privilege, not a right

So is he going to get an account on TikTok?

So is he going to try to talk through Don Jr or one of his other retard progeny?

R128 = Russian troll

#RIPBozo is trending

R129, agreed. This enthusiasm we have been seeing for the silencing of anyone the mob that currently holds power disagrees with is a terrible trend. People seem to be entirely ignorant of why free speech, especially the speech we disagree with the most, needs to be protected. This bodes very badly for the future. Twitter and Facebook should not be in the position of having to silence a terrorist. Law enforcement should have arrested him years ago. We need a public commons that is not tied up with corporate or ideological interests.

Ladies and Gentlemen, sadly this is far from being over. Just read.

Fuck you, r133.

R129 I thought so after reading the first post but was hoping that wasn’t what you meant.

Scruff, Gowlr, and Grindr...

Okay, let me just breathe.

They're planning to storm the inauguration.

Well, let the National Guard gum 'em all down then.

Er, *gun them all down. GUN.

And here's another one.

R139 I wouldn’t be surprised.

Theoretically, can't he just tweet from his official presidential acct?

Why do I feel like Steve Bannon is behind a lot of those posts on parler?

R132, maybe Melania's twitter!

Apple is considering taking down the Parker app.

r145, he is behind the whold app

why is Apple and Tim Cook willingly complicit in this coup... that is the question

The year 2021 is getting better and better each passing day. Hope springs eternal!

And yet another one.

Free speech is a myth and has been used as an excuse to spread hate and fear for way too long.

Guys like Trump are to blame for making censorship a necessary step.

And no, the "would you like it if your Liberal opinions get censored" argument doesn't fly, because the Liberal agenda doesn't incite hate and violence towards your fellow men.

R138, his examples may seem frivolous, but the point is that private companies should not have the power to decide what people are allowed discuss. If the the speech is illegal, law enforcement should arrest the person. People are gleeful that he’s been silenced. Now, instead of committing crimes in broad daylight, he’s making them on private phone calls that he can’t be held accountable for. It’s fucking stupid.

Hey kid, do you have a Twitter account?

His YouTube channel is still up and running.

Maybe he'll try to hijack Barron's TikTok.

As predicted by my humble self and others here, that Ashley cunt is already a martyr for these loons.

Congress refused to get rid of Section 230 as Trump wanted them to, but the internet is acting as if they did anyway. It’s a great day.

R136 They need to impeach and remove his ass, and call on all national/federal law enforcement to be there.

R152, he's not silenced. Funny, people managed to speak before social media existed. Facebook and Twitter are private companies. They're allowed to boot people. Having a Twitter page is a privilege, not a right

What is taking Apple so long to do the obvious thing?

I don't think Trump even remembers that he has the POTUS twitter account. Someone else probably runs it. None of his insanity seems to be on that account.

Freepers like r135 think it's "the mob" to ban someone from social media, because they don't get that posting on social media is a privilege, not a right. No one NEEDS to post on twitter. If you want to see a mob....look at your friends who stormed the Capitol

It is illegal to lie and yell "Fire!!" in a crowded theater. You know this will result in harm to people as they trample each other trying to get out.

Trump has been yelling lies for years. His platform for yelling said no.

^^ I agree, R152. But it is admittedly a sticky wicket: Trump et al. incite violence and spread it to 80 million....etc on Twitter OR do it behind closed doors where there are less to spread it to.

Ultimately, stopping him on Twitter is like using a fire extinguisher for a forest fire.

The root problem needs to be addressed: narcissism, sociopathy and the elements that encouraged the Trump Cult.

R160, what is it you think is ‘the obvious thing’? They’ve told Parler they need to fix their moderation or face being removed from the store. Do you think Republicans should not be allowed to use social media at all?

Time to crank up the pressure on Tim Cook and Apple. All these tech companies are making a fortune off of this hatred and division.

DC coke dealers will be busy tonight.

R136 I shared the tweet and now it’s gone.

Samsung too. Google phones. all of them

R167, it’s not actually private business’ responsibility to enforce laws. That’s the actual problem.

LOL

[quote]Do you think Republicans should not be allowed to use social media at all?

This concern troll is working hard. An extra turnip for him tonight!

WHY ISN'T JUNIOR'S ACCOUNT ALSO SUSPENDED????

"Impeaching Trump now could bar him from public office in the future.

While it may seem pointless to impeach a president just as he is about to leave office, there could be real consequences for Mr. Trump beyond the stain on his record. If he were convicted, the Senate could vote to bar him from ever holding office again. Following a conviction, the Constitution says the Senate can consider “disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.”

Only a simple majority of senators would have to agree to successfully disqualify Mr. Trump, who is contemplating another run for president in 2024, an appealing prospect not just to Democrats but to many Republicans who are eyeing their own runs."

R168 Oh FFS, they left his retarded Turd, Jr. on.

He's old, obese, and his world is being destroyed brick by brick...I really do hope the stress takes its toll sooner rather than later.

POTUS account is apparently suspended too—only retweets remain up there.

R169 look at the other ones I posted upthread, they're still there.

This is fucking scary.

IMHO there's no need for a pompous inauguration ceremony where some snipers might get to shoot Biden and/or Harris and others.

[quote] it’s not actually private business’ responsibility to enforce laws. That’s the actual problem.

No, but it is their RIGHT to deny service.

Twitter was also getting coordination Tweets from the Republican Traitor Scum for violence on the 20th. The tweet the fucking orangutang did this morning was another shot across the bow. They canceled him.

Parler has 24 hours or it's off Apple. The traitors will just have to get their shit from the depths of the garbage pile of their kind.

I agree, R179.

Apple is considering shutting down Parlor too.

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS FOR WHAT???? THEY'RE A BUNCH OF TRAITORS!!

Me too R183.

They can have a virtual inauguration. The virtual Democratic National Convention was well done, and powerful.

Insofar as entire platforms go, I think the right to curate an official app store ought to directly depend upon the existence of a channel for end users to bypass that app store & install whatever they damn well want to install.

Google blurs the line slightly due to Google Play SERVICES, which introduce dependencies that go beyond mere appstore-availability. If Google bans your access to Play Services, you can still distribute an app as a .apk file... but it can't use maps, location services, log in via Google account, access Google Drive, use Firebase, and more. An Android app without the ability to use Google Cloud Services is crippled, and crippled BADLY.

My standard for acceptable open platform-neutrality is desktop Windows. Microsoft might oppose everything you do & represent, but any .exe file you run will run just fine.

Linux is a study in irony... it's an open OS, running on some of the most locked-down hardware in history. On a PC, it's totally open. On anything with an ARM-derived SoC, it's the manufacturer's total bitch. It's not a coincidence that there's no such thing as VMware or VirtualBox for Android. We've TRIED porting VirtualBox. Without concessions from both Qualcomm & Google, it's literally impossible to escape from TrustZone's jail.

R173, use your fucking brain. “Free speech only for people I agree with” is not tenable.

Good one, comrade!

[quote]He's old, [bold]MORBIDLY OBESE[/bold], and his world is being destroyed brick by brick...

Fixed that for you, dear.

[quote] Ultimately, stopping him on Twitter is like using a fire extinguisher for a forest fire.

It worked for losers like Milo Yiannopoulos.

Parler being canceled by Apple is going to be a very deadly blow to these bunch of radical losers.

R188 So you’re saying that the government should be allowed to force private companies to service people who are breaking their rules, regulations, and general codes of conduct?

Trump can go on TV live anytime he wants 24/7 from the White House, all he has to do is give the world and dozens of media cameras would be there. I dont want to hear from any Deplorable or Trumpeter that kicking him off social media is an infringement of his Fist Amendment rights. He has the right to speak, no one is preventing him from doing so just because he can't Tweet.

Parler was just removed from the Google Play store. Parler is the place where the treasonous Republicans are/were coordinating January 20th violence.

Twitter using these armed assaults threats on Twitter and other social media as an explanation for them having banned Plump.

[quote] This determination is based on a number of factors, including: [...] The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending. [...] Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.

R188, use your brain. Free speech means the government can't limit your speech. Fucking twitter isn't the government, they can ban who they want

Newmax is gonna be big. Like, really massive.

[quote]“Free speech only for people I agree with” is not tenable.

That's not what we're seeing here though, is it? Trump's messaging is beyond Republicanism. What happened at the Capitol was a serious offense. Nighy unprecedented. Trump's words and actions put congress in the crosshairs. He incited violence and made it clear that he had no intentions of stopping.

His Twitter was suspended for violating the policies of the private company he was using. That's it.

R196, Correct. the woo sites read that Orange fuck will not be there, so they have taken that as a green light for violence.

Read the last part of Twitter’s statement on why they dumped Dump:

[quote] The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.

[quote]Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.

[quote]As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.

I reported a Trump tweet earlier today but didn’t save a screenshot. I don’t remember it verbatim, but it was something along the lines of “this isn’t over yet” and “we will make America great again”

Oh fuck off r201

Just seeing R202. That was the tweet.

the past hour:

- Michael Flynn banned from Twitter

- Sidney Powell banned from Twitter

- Donald Trump banned from Twitter

- Parler given 24 hour ultimatum from App Store

- House to introduce impeachment resolution on Monday

- Pelosi told generals to hide nukes

R180, right and if they’d been enforcing their own rules fairly, he would have been banned back during Birthergate. But they, as a private company, are not required to do anything fairly and can set whatever standards of conduct they please, including only allowing speech that agrees with a specific point of view, views they may profit from. This is why a public commons, beholden to the 1A, is needed. Private interests should not have the power to dictate the opinions people are allowed to express. Illegal speech, criminal conspiracies, etc should all be prosecuted by law enforcement. Nike shouldn’t be in control of determining which jokes can be told, Coca-cola shouldn’t be able to determine which music can be released and Twitter shouldn’t be in charge of silencing terrorists.

[quote] Newmax is gonna be big. Like, really massive.

OANN too!!

R201, people who don't understand free speech are terrifying. Hint: it refers to government censorship, not private companies. No one is entitled to a facebook page.

This was the tweet

The first amendment isn't difficult to understand. Anytime someone says "FREE SPEECH!" is usually just a dummy.

R207 thinks companies can't make rules. Twitter's allowed to ban people. If you don't like it, don't use Twitter

Good.

Today, Twitter.

Tomorrow, the planet.

R209, the funny thing is that they always act like they are SO smart and are having to patiently explain things to the rest of us, while the things they are explaining just highlight what morons they are.

R213 Bitch, please. We’re you saying or thinking that when our Capitol was under siege on the Jan 6th?

*were

FFS. He's the President of the United States. If Donald Trump wants to address the world 50 times a day, he can. Live. From his very own house. Where there is a room staffed with cameras and people whose only job is to report whatever he says and does. He violated Twitter's terms of service by inciting violence. He broke the rules.

He should have just complied with the rules. Like black people are supposed to.

R201 is a fan of forcing private companies to obey him. Twitter can ban who they want. They're not the government

.....

Okay well he can go down to the press room in the WH and go on camera and behave like a madman.

Pence might actually invoke the 25th by midnight. Or Congress would call an emergency session

Some of you goons sound so fucking stupid. You do realize that private businesses do not have to abide by the 1A, right? That the internet has become the Public Commons and, yet, is run by private businesses who set their own terms that serve their own quixotic interests? Do you see the problem with this? The Public Commons being run by private businesses? Because there is a problem there.

It like cutting off a penis. Good job 👏

Faux News busy booking their next "tech expert" talking about how this is unfair and whataboutism and "liberals control the media" and don't believe in free speech.

[quote] Why do I feel like Steve Bannon is behind a lot of those posts on parler?

I really would love to be in the White House at the moment. Can you imagine? Orange Nero at the end of days. Vairst Letty drafting her own divorce papers because the only lawyers left working at the White House are Rudy and the Kraken lady. Pence and Mother, fresh from nearly being lynched by the Trumpian hordes and suddenly magically transformed into something close to patriots as they try to stop him from letting the world burn. Of course, they are letting it die a slower death from covid, but at least something will remain...

I’d just love to know how they are all communicating.

Good.

Believe it or not, kids, but Leftists have been traditionally pro-Free Speech. There’s nothing liberal about having speech regulated by Big Business nor in wanting varying views to be silenced. That’s about as conservative as stance as you can take.

I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but it does suddenly look as if people have just decided to kneecap him so that he can’t be a constant thorn in America’s side after Biden takes over.

Good.

R224, she has a striking resemblance to someone I know.

Incitement to violence or false statements are not free speech. They never have been.

[quote] There’s nothing liberal about having speech regulated by Big Business

Big Business isn’t regulating speech in this case; they’re just kicking his fat, retarded ass out of their shop.

R228, traditionally, kiddo, nation states have tried to defend themselves against enemies. So, say you are the ringleader in a campaign to storm government buildings and capture and/or assassinate political leaders, you might find that not succeeding in that terrible plot will have some sort of consequences on your social life and social media.

If Trump merely finds himself to be a pariah after what he has done this week, he can count himself very lucky.

R228, you need to read the constitution again, hon. Twitter isn't the government. They can ban who they want. I guess you think the liberal point of view is to FORCE twitter to give Trump a platform, even though have a twitter page is a privilege, not a right

Freedom vis-a-vis private companies has historically been viewed as a continuum... the more a private company acts like a government, the more it rightfully ought to be constrained LIKE a government.

Twitter banning Trump is fine. There are alternative platforms to use.

Apple/Google banning Parler (or any other app that's not literal malware) is not, unless there's an alternative way to install "unapproved" apps with little more than a sneer of official disapproval from the platform's overlords.

The more back-end cloud services hijack roles traditionally provided without restriction by an OS and become 'infrastructure', the more neutral and judgment-free the platform should be required to be in providing them. This specifically relates to Google... for the past few years, Google has slowly 'boiled the frog' by making 'Android' increasingly entangled with & dependent upon GCS for most of its functionality. A Google-free Android device is EXTRAORDINARILY crippled & borderline dysfunctional.

[quote] Believe it or not, kids, but Leftists have been traditionally pro-Free Speech.

And we still are, “kid.” Free speech does not include private venues, “kid,” and it also doesn’t include telling people to go break into a government building.

JFC, do you need to be drawn a picture?

R238 You’re writing books about the wrong thing, bun.

Well, Trump can always keep in touch with his followers by mail.

Look, Junior invoked the homosexuals!

[quote]Believe it or not, kids, but Leftists have been traditionally pro-Free Speech. There’s nothing liberal about having speech regulated by Big Business nor in wanting varying views to be silenced. That’s about as conservative as stance as you can take.

The world has changed Gramps. Twitter is not free speech anymore it's been hijacked by hate speech and propaganda machines. The President, he could go on National TV, Radio, Print News, any time day or night form his own house if he wants, the largest platform in the world. He is not being silenced by any stretch of the imagination. I am sure you are familiar with those forms of communication.

Once again, nobosy stops Trump's speech or speech of people on Parler. CNN, NBC, Fox, CBS, ABC, PBS, that's why they are there and they are happy to let him and them talk.

I hope he doesn't have access to the nuclear codes

Standing by and ready to serve, Mr. President!

r240, the problem is, nontechnical people don't grasp (or care about) the difference between a censorship by a service/publisher (eg, Twitter) and censorship by an entire computing platform (Apple, Android/Google).

Software freedom matters. It's important. It needs to be shouted from rooftops.

NBC:

NEW: Twitter will “take action to limit the use” of @POTUS and @WhiteHouse if it becomes clear President Trump is using them to evade his permanent ban.

But her emails!

R248 We’re too busy caring about the fact that our government was almost taken hostage because of a three-month tantrum by a megalomaniac.

Can Android devices still use the Parler app even though it's been removed from the Google Play store?

R248 - and I have a funny feeling that software companies might not want to be implicated in shit like what happened on the 6th.

As soon as someone lets him know he can get right back on with a new email addy and user name he'll be back.

We are all in a very crowded theater, and Trump kept yelling "fire", relentlessly. Of course he should be banned (though for expediency and to diffuse all the right wing outrage, maybe it should be "suspended until further notice"...)

And the self-righteous dissemblers who were fine with a bakery not selling a cake to anyone it chose to exclude... are adamant that Twitter, and private business, should let Trump destroy whatever he wants. Advocating for the violent overthrow of our government is against Twitter's religion.

Maybe all these companies are moving quickly and intensely because they have been alerted about plans for another attack on the 19th/20th.

Ever thought about that, techie?

We have containment.

r257, the SMART thing to do is let the terrorists scheme & groupchat on Parler, where the FBI can conveniently monitor them & gather evidence to prosecute them with.

Domestic terrorists storming the Capitol was the turning point. It's still sinking in for many how serious that event was. These tech giants no longer want to be complicit in domestic terrorist activities and I don't blame them. Slippery slopes can be argued left and right, but we've already lived through a very serous attack.

Bye Felicia is trending too

R259 Oh honey, the FBI, CIA and every other three-letter law enforcement agency is already doing that with or without social media.

The Einstein Scholar finally did it

UPDATE: Apple has given Parler, the social network favored by conservatives an ultimatum to implement a full moderation plan of its platform within the next 24 hours or face expulsion from the App store.

r262, well, they did a pretty shit job of it yesterday & dropped the ball like Howard Wolowitz playing Leonard Hofstadler.

Wow. In the statement they say that there’s a second attack being planned for the 17th.

R265 Dump ordered them to stand back while ordering his national-anarchists and fascists to stop by.

OK, this is hilarious.

[quote]the SMART thing to do is let the terrorists scheme & groupchat on Parler, where the FBI can conveniently monitor them & gather evidence to prosecute them with.

I thought they were doing that all along? Why didn't they do more to prevent what happened on Wednesday?

It was funnier the first time it was posted in this thread, R268.

Anderson Cooper just reported that Trump tried to tweet from the POTUS account and they immediately took it down.

R271 W-O-W.

I just heard that! ^

I'm LOL & COL (Crying Out Loud)

Haha. Was he on the shitter?

Trump is still tryin' it. I hope he tries to tweet from Jr.'s account and it gets suspended too.

Trump is now using the official POTUS twitter account and already had tweets deleted.

This is fucking scary.

Pence, 25th Amendment NOW!

Speaker Pelosi, call a special Saturday and Sunday Session and Impeach NOW!

FOX News reporting it too

Next up FLOTUS!

He really needs to be removed from office

Impeachment starts on Monday R282. They don't even have to have hearings. Just vote on the article of impeachment. She has the votes.

[quote] Next up FLOTUS!

Don't worry. Vairst Leddy has already moved over to OnlyFans.

But not too scared to note that CNN's Doris Kearns Goodwin should have her wig thinned just a bit.

[quote] This is fucking scary.

I agree with all of this. Oh, and Della?

These past few days is the longest period of time that I have gone without thinking about COVID 24/7 since March.

R285 Biiitch. 😂

I am going to bed and afraid of waking up to WWIII.

R283 but the senate can just sit on it. The senate isn’t even in session.

R287 It has certainly been quite the palette cleanser.

Amazon is soliciting example of terms violation on Parler. Send screenshots to jeff@amazon.com

[quote]I am going to bed and afraid of waking up to WWIII.

More like Civil War II. The rest of the world must be laughing.

Michael Rappaport offers his usual erudite comments on Trump's Twitter ban.

Awww, come here, r286.

And bring your blankie.

How pathetic that people had to BEG Jack Dorsey to ban him. Weasel.

R294 I love him! He sounds EXACTLY how I feel.

How many undeserving will be pardoned this weekend? What else can he destroy? They need to convene and vote now.

I don't want to give him any ideas, but I'm surprised he isn't already on Cameo doing spoken-word tweets for $40 a pop.

Oh and what if he tries to pardon himself this weekend for anything that happened on Wednesday?

Has Devin Nunes gotten his participation medal or whatever the hell his dear leader was going to give him?

Rapaport is delivering ! LMAO

They can't because McCarthy objected, R298. That's delaying things. They need unanimous consent to move forward quickly and McCarthy is obstructing that, as usual.

I haven't seen this much celebrating since CNN called the election for Biden.

Wouldn't surprise me if Trump pardons those arrested for their involvement in taking the Capitol hostage.

Trump has an entire press room that would fill up at any hour of the day whenever he wants to speak. Anyone who is saying he is being “censored” isn’t being genuine. They’re throwing red meat to the mob. The terrorists will be back.

[quote] Wouldn't surprise me if Trump pardons those arrested for their involvement in taking the Capitol hostage.

Agreed.

They know he hasn't been censored, they're just whining and complaining because they don't think it's fair.

I can't believe Don Jr isn't on Fox right now coked out of his mind ranting about Twitter.

I just wonder what he's going to blow up to try to distract everybody in the next 48 hours

All these replies with nothing but a Twitter link are kind of useless.

[quote] Has Devin Nunes gotten his participation medal or whatever the hell his dear leader was going to give him?

Yes, Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this week (it was closed to press because FAKE NEWS.)

What else do you want R314, a BJ and a cocktail?

If you don’t like it, go.

He's almost certainly been given IV diazepam and/or midazolam by now.

You're trying to kick me off Datalounge because I said you spamming all these threads with replies that have nothing but a link were useless? You need a thicker skin. You'd probably break down in tears the second someone called you a fat whore.

Be there or be square

And while you’re at DonJr.com, be sure to buy my book

R320 He’s being purposefully obtuse. Don’t.

Agree R314. The person is just fucking lazy.

R324 Bitch -

When will these freaks learn that social media companies can ban whoever the fuck they want?

Books on DonJr.com are $29.99.

$39.99 if you want an autographed copy

$49.99 gets you an autographed copy and a lap dance from Guilfoyle.

Fucking morons spelled the woman's name wrong on the poster at R156. Let these morons attempt another armed invasion on Jan 19 and, this time, be vaporized.

^ Jan 20

Olivia Nuzzi:

I just want to point out that the White House seems to be mobilizing faster in response to Trump’s Twitter account being removed than they did to the violent insurrection Trump incited at the Capitol on Wednesday.

He got banned on @potus account too and is now tweeting from @teamtrump

Oh for real? Omigod lol r332

He’s a junkie.

Chris Cuomo invited Trump on his show whenever he wants to come.

However, he has to behave himself and not carry on like a three-year-old

It's okay - he's on Only Fans now!

They need to shut down @teamtrump too

Ok, now I'm just laughing at that pathetic shell of a human being going from Twitter account to Twitter account. This is the guy people are ready to die for? Really?

It’s been reported so hopefully soon.

Twitter said they’d ban any account he posts this shit on, so it’ll get shut down too.

Jesus. Christ.

So far it’s still open and he’s posting his usual crap.

Watch him go to @FLOTUS and @MelaniaTrump next

R314 meets R325 = who would have guessed that this thread would have resulted in an incel love match?

What’s really got to be KILLING him?

What must have him in AGONY?

People are laughing at him. There is nothing he hates more.

It will be hard to moderate every single "Trump" tweet now. I think as soon as it's not from his official or personal account, they will let it be. As it's impossible to chase 100,000s of real or fake posts "on his behalf".

Team trump is gone

Looks like TeamTrump is going down

[quote] He’s a junkie.

BOOM. Another one bites the dust.

Tomorrow's Daily Star (British tabloid):

We should take bets as to which account he’ll hit next. Jr? Ivanka?

Congress needs to meet in an emergency session tonight, or not later than tomorrow.

Trump Crazy

HONEY, GIMME YOUR PHONE!

The tantrum he will throw tonight. It will be legendary.

This is fucking HILARIOUS!!!

And also terrifying...

This is a time I wish he drank, got drunk and stumbled.

Has DL preemptively banned him yet?

Someone get my fat daughter on the phone.

Hi Mary,

Sowwy I wuz mean. If you give me your login, I'll give ya a COOKIE!

❤️, Unkie Don

Is this insinuating that he's on the reference twitter account?

Referenced. Ugh.

You have to open the full image in R364

Guess he’s still shooketh from his flight home.

Ban the whole fam damily and watch them die of thirst.

Trump got banned from Reddit. What a loser.

R365 I don't think so. That's just Eric's Parler account.

DJT wouldn't have an account here. I think I know him pretty well.

FAKE NEWS! I'm EVERYWHERE!

On another forum, someone said that the r/DonaldTrump forum was locked after the election, not recently.

That's really helpful R372. You care to mention the forum.

This is like fucking whack-a-mole!

[quote] Guess he’s still shooketh from his flight home.

The sunlight was too harsh after removing himself from trumps bowels so back in he went.

Queue the Benny Hill soundtrack!

R369 the preview cuts off the top and bottom of the image.

If you open the full image, Eric's post says "It's Real" at the top and the bottom has a small preview of a twitter page with trump's photo and "2021 TRUMP ACCOUNT."

Can someone decipher this twat’s tweet?

I take r314’s point—if you don’t have link previews turned on, and a lazy poster hasn’t added anything to her link, all you get is a generic Twitter link and no reason to click it.

I see text R379, don’t you?

"I, DONALD J. TRUMP, A.K.A. 'GOD,' HEREBY TAKE-BACKSIES THE STUPID PUSSY VIDEO I WAS FORCED TO MAKE"

[quote]Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video on Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before.

Yakety Sax:

Don't shoot the messenger, R94. Michelle Goldberg is a great journalist. She obviously knows twitter is a private company. If she wants to construct a first amendment analysis, by all means let her do it rather than some reactionary wingnut.

It's not about tech giants trying to silence him. It's about not amplifying seditious behavior. Granted, it's a bit late but better late than never.

R377 You're seeing this account:

He’s tweeting from the POTUS account now.

Is he manic?

Fuck all these social media platforms. This is all too little too late. Cheetolini should have been banned years ago.

When is he not?

There are no new tweets on POTUS. The last ones there are from December.

Maggie haberman is saying that this was a bad idea from twitter. That Trump is going to be enraged and will act out in other ways, far worse than simply tweeting.

We are not safe the next 12 days.

GARY!!!! GIVE ME THAT FUCKING PASSWORD!!!!!

Reuters: TWITTER SUSPENDS TRUMP CAMPAIGN ACCOUNT @TEAMTRUMP

Okay but when are we ever safe from a terrorist Maggie?

Turn on shows link previews asshats R314 and R325.

Thanks R385

Lol

Apple and Google developers should accompany the removal of Parler from their marketplaces with a "poof" animation that makes the app icon on the device vanish.

Looks like this is what got the POTUS account tweets removed.

Also per the NYT article at R381, Sue Collins has now added "outraged" to her pussy-faced wheelhouse.

[quote]A spokesman for Senator Susan Collins of Maine said she was “outraged” by Mr. Trump’s role in the violence, but could not comment on an impeachment case given the possibility she could soon be sitting in the jury.

They need to delete all Trump family and campaign accounts with Trump in the name.

And good luck Donald starting your own platform - it will be as successful as Trump Steaks or Trump University.

I have you in the pool, Rudy.

Marcel Marceau

R366 He’s such a faggot. Seriously.

I think Don Junior goes pretty close to the line too and I would not be surprised if he gets banned at some point soon.

[quote] Ban the whole fam damily and watch them die of thirst.

Lol!

Too little/Too late

~JoJo

R188 "“Free speech only for people I agree with” is not tenable."

Chr!st on a cross. WHY, Why, why do so many of you conservatives have ZERO understanding of what american 'free speech' actually is.

You do not have and never have had freedom of speech on PRIVATE platforms and in PRIVATE spaces.

Freedom of speech protects citizens from GOVERNMENTAL suppression of speech. And that's it! This is an extremely basic concept. Considering how much conservatives love to whine about their 'freedumbs', here's a thought: TRY to develop a basic understanding of what those freedom actually are! It's really not that complicated!

lol

[quote]There’s nothing liberal about having speech regulated by Big Business nor in [bold]wanting varying views to be silenced[/bold].

So trump inciting an attempted overthrow of the United States government—he has swore to protect—is just "varying views".

Somewhere, your mother is pouring herself another drink and wondering when you'll come to your senses and swallow some drain cleaner.

Why are y’all even talking to him?

Just block the MAGAt.

Fuck off R395. There are those of us that don't like previews.

FUCKIN A!

Trump tweeted from the POTUS account but it was deleted immediately

Who woke him up?

Trumpsters biggest accomplishment now lmaooooooo

They don’t even refer to him as POTUS

BUT ALL THE OTHER DICTATORS GET TO BE ON TWITTER!

[quote] A Google-free Android device is EXTRAORDINARILY crippled & borderline dysfunctional.

Sounds like Madison Cawthorn.

R383, the reactionary wingnuts are going to do it anyway. She's giving them legitimacy.

What did Trump tweet @POTUS?

Twitter and Facebook are not media companies. They are a content platform. The Republicans don’t even understand how it works.

Guys. Here is an article about him Tweeting from POTUS

I was trying to link People but it would not work

Breakdown of a Child

I picture him wheezing and puffing, screaming and gibbering, trundling through the White House on his teeny little high-heeled feet, searching desperately for anyone he hasn't fired so he can use their Twitter accounts. Pushing gallon after gallon of soft-serve shit into his special pants and bellowing "Melania!" at the farty upper range of his fucked bagpipes of a voice. His orange pancke makeup dripping down his collar to join the gush of blood streaming from his nose.

There! A kitchen maid! Pushing her roughly to the floor, he grabs her cell phone. In the soft-accented Spanish of her native Peru, she pleads for him not to take it from her, her Twitter feed; but he screams "Look, I don't speak wetback!" and starts Tweeting away under her tag (PérdidaDeTiempo). He begins to compose a long diatribe about why he should be crowned king tomorrow only to have the account erased within seconds.

THIS.

The stupidity.... other dictators and horrible people are not inciting violence now, this week, after an assault on the capitol killed people. Trump is NOT banned for his policies, his character, his racism, his authoritarianism, his personal attacks... he's banned because he used Twitter to incite violence. He was warned, let back on, and then did the same thing.

He's banned because of how he used the Twitter product.

People.com

Trump's immediately deleted Tweets at R275 demonstrate perfectly that he couldn't pass a high school civics exam—yet he's the goddamned president. If his followers had a lick of self-awareness or the slightest connection to reality, they'd be wallowing in shame for having been so obviously fleeced by this charlatan.

He's likely flinging his feces in a rage.

I'm sure he's filled multiple diapers tonight.

Seriously, though. WILL THIS NIGHTMARE EVER END?

From a link in the article at R426

56,571 Trump tweets and retweets since 2009

[quote] The official said Trump was “scrambling to figure out what his options are.”

If only he had shown that much interest in how to prevent thousands of COVID-19 deaths every single day.

He's so addicted. Good God. 🤣

"Twitter is basically now playing whack-a-mole with the president of the United States, who is trying everything to evade his ban on the platform

Team Trump suspended for posting the same statement Trump posted on @POTUS"

This is the president of the United State. We have so many psychos living among us who thought this evil, stupid scum is a "leader."

Twitter can also see his DMs. Lord knows what he was DMing and with who.

He's now jonesing for every family members password.

For me....

Just wait until he shows up on Chaturbate.

Maybe Trump can go post on a Usenet Newsgroup. Alt.Fans.ImpeachedPresidents

He's still got Prodigy, CompuService and GE*nie.

Think of the implications for his threat of a 2024 campaign, and his inability to disparage every Biden, Pelosi, or Blue Senate action.

A ‘ UGE campaign platform has just been eliminated.

It's worse now that you can post an empty reply, r379. All they do is post a Twitter link without context and half the time they're unrelated to what the thread is talking about at that moment.

I agree, R420. There's no legitimate reason to pretend like this is a First Amendment issue, not even as a "devil's advocate" or as a rhetorical device for an article that ultimately concludes it's NOT a Constitutional issue.

We're not in a place right now where the media has the luxury of doing what-ifs or both-sides or devil's advocate articles, not even longform detailed articles are right for the time and place. We need immediate, factual news, repeated multiple times, because the country is still trying to get used to the idea that we just witnessed the president try to overthrow the democratically elected government. People have to process the reality first, THEN you start getting into the minutiae and details and complicated analyses of the tangential side issues.

R459 I love you and agree with ALL OF THIS:

[quote] We're not in a place right now where the media has the luxury of doing what-ifs or both-sides or devil's advocate articles, not even longform detailed articles are right for the time and place. We need immediate, factual news, repeated multiple times

This has stopped being a fucking clicks and ratings game literally YEARS ago and even more so now.

What worries me is Trump claims he sleeps around 4 hours a night. That maniac has to be stewing that he has been banned from just about every platform. Who is he plotting revenge on?

R461 More than half the country.

Twitter seems to be down, at least for me, I haven't been able to get on for about five minutes now. DDoS attack or just overloaded servers?

amen r459. Everything is opinion and analysis and I've been wondering, where is the information? Where are the press briefings? Where is the NEWS??

R464 It’s up for me. Clear your cookies, refresh or reboot.

I did, I wasn't able to get on Twitter from a browser until just now, still can't get on from my phone. Probably overloaded servers.

400,000 dead from Covid? Who cares!

Taking away my twitter account - how dare you!

R468 Fuck him. He can blow it out his ass and straight into his already caked depends.

Lord Jesus save us

That's kind of funny, R471. In his profile he says he loves hamburgers and sudafed.

OK this is the funniest shit yet

No, This is the funniest yet

nevermind, lol I didn't see r471

The mustache KILLS me, R474. I was laughing at that for like five minutes straight earlier tonight.

R474 Gurl, get off the tricycle and onto a fast bike. That shit was posted 7 hours ago.

George Conway says of R474:

“ok this may be my favorite tweet ever”

1.2M likes on John Barron’s Tweet already. My goodness.

“I’ve never laughed so hard at a tweet ever.” —Law hottie Elie Honig

[quote]Prediction: before the end of the night, this tweet will have more likes than any tweet realDonaldTrump ever sent.

[quote] Update: prediction correct. Also, just wanted to note that the most liked tweet that realDonaldTrump ever sent was the one where he told us he had Covid.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Princess Ivanka has not tweeted a single thing today.😂

I'm sure she will post something insipid soon about dry shampoo or making quarantine cupcakes with her kids without acknowledging her family is standing in the middle of a PR inferno.

Out of all the shit that went down during his presidency you know him being banned is absolutely destroying him.

He's probably rocking back and forth in his chambers. I wonder if he's even lurking on Twitter just to see what people are saying. Has he actually set up a Parler account?

Can help but wonder how many people bleating on about free speech today have 'cancelled' former friends and acquaintances from their social media for expressing a view they don't agree with.

We hope he does not join Tinder or Grindr.

People are idiots about "free speech" and it shows that civics and social studies are no longer taught in elementary schools.

Free speech does not mean you are free from consequences for what you say or do.

The First Amendment doesn't give you the right to say whatever the hell you want on a platform owned by a private company. They can ban you for any reason or no reason at all, just like any company can now fire you (the at-will employment laws Republicans love so much). Don't like it? Tough!

I'm glad I was around for the first BBS boards and chatrooms, when moderators constantly kicked and banned people who were abusive shits. It taught you that you couldn't be a total flaming asshole and expect to hang out in polite digital society.

Voting is a right. Having a spot on a social media platform is a privilege.

What I find surprising is that how he debases himself even further by trying to sneak through the cracks to still post on Twitter (without having his over 80 million followers audience with him). Usually he'd do the "You are not dumping me! I dump you! I never knew you even existed!" dramatic exit. I mean, he even called Fox News insignificant and suffering from poor, low ratings when they are not kissing his ass. I was expecting something dismissive like Twitter doesn't matter anymore, and it's just a bunch of losers blowing smoke up their asses and that is why he quit Twitter (not the other way round).

Remember when Palin said “I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”

These assholes define “free speech” as “I have to force people to hear what I say”

Does Cuntlania just finger herself all day and night while her pig of a husband rolls around in shit? Does the cunt so ANYTHING to try to control her husband?

Of course, the Deplorables don't see the difference between sharing an opinion and the call for physical violence.

Juliette Kayyam:

This talk of free speech is a straw man. As we have learned, this is a terrorist organization, incited by its leader. Just as we urge the platforms to monitor all terrorism and radicalization, this is no different. That is how we must view the twitter ban. It is counterterrorism.

Scaramucci points out that we have only one Scaramucci of Trump's presidency left.

"It appears Rush deactivated his own acct"

When is that demented hippo gonna die? Step to it, Grim Reaper! (there's another orange one we'd appreciate you picking up en route)

Twitter is NOT a public forum

No one is stopping him from publishing his thoughts on his own website.

He just can do them on Jack Dorsey's dime-- Dorsey is paying to maintain the servers and staff that keep Twitter going

^^He just CAN'T do them..

Then "free speech" is a dog whistle for terrorism against people of color, women, and gays.

He's got an entire press corps, he's not silenced.

He's still got (and probably will always have) American and world media at his beck and call, for free. I wish that would change but doubt that it will. So he doesn't need Twitter to get the attention he thrives on.

It was his main source of narcissistic supply, r507 (with the exception of rallies).

When they removed his account he started tweeting from the official POTUS acct. When they removed those tweets, he turned to his campaign acct, #teamtrump. Then they deleted that acct too.

I guarantee you it is KILLING him right now.

To the piece of shit @R412, don’t fucking dictate what I can post and how I post it.

You’ve a tool and I dare to guess, a fat, lazy bastard too.

r501 What does that mean?

Twitter last night...

I think it refers to the amount of time Scaramucci served as Communications Director r510

Careful R512, you’ll be scolded by R412. You need to write everything out for the Princess as she doesn’t like link previews.

R512 is correct. Scaramucci held his position in the WH for 11 days, and it’s 11 days until Inauguration Day.

Yes, a Scaramucci is a length of 10 days, it references how long Scaramucci had his job.

Nothing can stop the grift.

Girlfriend looked ROUGH

Just wanted to note too that the same people who believe that a bakery should not be forced to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, because private business, now believe that a private company should be forced to give a platform to a traitor because it suits their purposes.

^ Special rights for me, but not for thee!

Is he lounging in his underwear watching The Queen’s Gambit? I can’t imagine what he is doing if he can’t use Twitter.

From r519...

This is a time of experimentation for him

LOL!

[quote]Has he pivoted yet?

I believe so. I think he has learned his lesson and will now act very presidential.

I wonder if Presidential Medals Of Freedom can be rescinded after they've been awarded. If so, I know of a few Pres. Biden needs to rescind very quickly after he takes office.

Another thought on the impending possible impeachment. Not only does it need to be done to strip him of any post presidency benefits, it more importantly needs to be done to keep him from getting regular security reports that all former POTUS receive.

also PornHub

My understanding is they can deny Trump the security reports R527. Trump had them stop giving security reports to Hillary, I believe.

Twitter needs to ban Don Jr now.

I bet they needed some industrial strength Depends for Diaper Don the last few days.

A lot of his supporters have switched their profile picture to his picture to ... show solidarity? Lol:

Makes it a lot easier for me to know which tweet I don't need to read R531.

Donnie Jr Twitter now suspended too.

YESSSSSS r533

Permanently?

It's up for me r533

He’s still up on my twitter. His last tweet was 34 minutes ago.

It’s still up for me but Jr. should be gone sooner rather than later.

I thought they wanted to repeal Section 230, so Twitter, etc. would be on the hook for individual tweets. Wouldn't a repeal of that lead to Twitter suspending even more accounts? Since they don't want to get sued?

I don't understand the logic. If Section 230 had been repealed years ago, Trump's and many other accounts would have been suspended long ago.

Am I missing something?

It's everything OK over there? I was afraid this could end up in nukes. I understand that Twitter feels the need to stop him, but at this point the censure could incite more violence than prevent it. After all this riots are not about defending some charismatic leader, it's about stupid and bad adjusted people defending their right to make terrible choices.

R533 Yes!

Exactly and no, there is no logic with these people, not even when orchestrating terrorist attacks on our country and government.

Plump getting owned by major European politican, hehehe.

We punish criminals. Do we ask - should we send this murderer to prison? His family might avenge him! He might be really mad when he gets out of prison! Let’s just slap him on the wrist instead.

HE HAS TO BE PUNISHED FOR THIS SHIT!!! He cannot get away with it!

It needs to divide us. I want a motherfucking GULF between me and these racist, insane assholes. Call it hyperbole - but we have a chance to put ourselves on the right side of history. I’m not letting Nazis decide who gets punished and who doesn’t.

Shit. I need a fucking drink.

R554 exactly. All this bullshit after the election about how Dump just needs time to ‘process his feelings’ and come to terms with the loss blah blah blah. He’s a grown man, not a toddler. Now this. Appeasement never works.

Mediaite: Parler Says It Has Removed Lin Wood's Posts Calling For Mike Pence to Be Executed

I guess that's SLAVERY! too.

Let me guess - now Lin Wood is Antifa, because Trumpers don’t know how to own their shit.

R541 That’s the perfect picture of a no neck monster.

r512 Thank you

Someone should go on Kirstie’s Twitter and tell her she types fat.

R563 - that's the least of her problems.

^ I meant my reply for R560

Unrelated sorry but I can’t start threads and well - why are all the threads about DL problems today being deleted?

[quote]I understand that Twitter feels the need to stop him, but at this point the censure could incite more violence than prevent it.

R549 In other words, we should be afraid to hold them accountable?

There need to be swift and severe consequences. This wasn't a smash-and-grab at the fucking mini-mart.

Agree r564.

I feel like things are moving so slowly and that will take years to unravel this mess. I’m afraid of future government assassinations and bombing in major cities.

I fear many innocent people will die.

Don't kick him off Twitter, it could incite more violence.

Don't impeach him, it could incite more violence.

Don't demonstrate that his vote fraud allegations are a lie, it could incite more violence.

Does Donald Trump have a propensity for threatening violence?

[quote] Trump suggests that it could get 'very bad' if military, police, biker supporters play 'tough'

[quote] President Trump in a new interview suggested that his supporters are tougher than Democrats, and that if they actually play tough things could get "very bad."

[quote] "I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," Trump said.

[quote]President Trump in a new interview suggested that his supporters are tougher than Democrats, and that if they actually play tough things could get "very bad."

He's right. It got "very bad" for five of his dead supporters.

I was just reading an article about the Trump appointed Atlanta U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak. Trump pressured him to resign because Trump thought he wasn't doing enough concerning his voter fraud claim in the Georgia election. The guy resigned. I just don't understand these people that don't standup to Trump. I think being banned from twitter should be the least of Trump's worries.

Clearly, he didn't care who got hurt while Congress was in session on January 6th. Don't the Rethugs get that?

what an idiot r569

Go fuck yourself R571.

Au revoir

Guess their 24 hours ran out, huh?

It’s great not hearing the what Trump tweeted.today bs. The world is a better place already.

So when an app is removed from the App Store, does it also stop functioning on the devices that already have it installed?

No R576 unless Google and Apple insert code in the operating system to block the app from functioning on their platforms. And they may well do that.

Parler's got a desktop page, so they can still use that. Seems like this was ultimately Apple and Google saving their own skins.

Parler should remove this from their homepage, haha.

I hate people who are too lazy to link articles

NY Times article about Apple and Google removing Parler from their stores:

And now Amazon.

[quote]Amazon on Saturday kicked Parler off its Web hosting services. Parler, a social network favored by conservative politicians and extremists, was used to help plan and coordinate the January 6 attempted coup on Washington D.C. It has recently been overrun with messages encouraging “Patriots” to march on Washington D.C. with weapons on January 19.

[quote]Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that unless it can find another host, once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will go offline.

[quote]Amazon declined to comment on the suspension. Parler has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Good for Bezos.

That’s more like it. Thank you Jeff Bezos.

R576: If someone already has an app on their phone, and it’s removed from the App Store or Google Play, it will still continue to work. However, phones that use iOS or Android are continually having system updates pushed to them....so at some point there will be compatibility issues. If an app developer has a relationship with Apple and Google, they’ll update their apps to remain functional. Otherwise....

Anyway, when Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook, his cult followers were likely to follow him to the only other place that would have him: Parler. They likely would’ve had millions of downloads over the weekend, but now they’re fucked.

Was Trump even on Parler? I still haven't seen a concrete answer to that question. I know his sons are there.

R586: He joined a few days ago (before the Twitter ban). His account is private, but it’s @thePOTUS45.

Well put r585. Some folks were thinking, well I can still access Parler via web or have already downloaded it, so no problem. But when your web host removes you, neither scenario will work, so you're screwed

What they have left is Gab, which is, basically, shit.

Shopify banned Trump!

Pinterest removed extremist hashtags. TerrorFraus in shambles.

I haven't heard that Etsy and Ebay have banned Trump. How about LinkedIn?

R587 it's not , that's a poser, yesterday the person behind @thePOTUS45 was begging for money with a link to a bitcoin account, needless to say, the account went private soon after.

Dear Mr. President, may I suggest Grindr.

I would kill to have been there the very moment that fat bastard tried to log into Twitter only to find out his precious account had been done away with. I picture him spontaneously shitting himself at that very moment.
