You ever notice how bullies cry so much when somebody puts them in their place?

Its funny how republicans love to tout the virtues of private businesses doing whatever they want, until it comes back to bite them in the ass.


He's also claiming congress influenced Twitter to make the ban in the first place.

Good thing you just can't create a fake/unverified account now as compared to FB. :D
Hopefully other social/blog sites delete/inactivate his account too,.
I only have 5 tweets since joining Tweeter July 2009 .

Remember when he claimed he was starting his own social media network? As predicted that was a load of bullshit.

Actually, the Q's and Qtrumps put out a list of Trump friendly alternative social media sites where they sooooo believed the world would embrace instead of using that old reliable FB and Twitter. The problem was, those alternative Trump friendly sites ended up as a big bust. None of them alternative sites came close to having the following of FB and Twitter. And another problem with those Trump friendly alternative sites, everyone on those sites agreed with each other. They were all a bunch of Trump loving Q's, and thus no one to fight with.

My Q niece posted many times a list of alternative Trump friendly sites, and even she returned back to FB after a few months, but only to be placed in FB jail because of her posting misinformation and rants. Then she would get out of FB jail, returned to posting her crap again, and again put back in FB jail. I believe she is currently in FB jail right now.

What Donald Trump can't understand..... FB and Twitter are both privately owned. They can make the rules and ban anyone who will not follow their rules. This is not a question of freedom of speech, it is FB and it is Twitter, and they can ban whomever they want, well pretty much.

Didn't Trump make a social media site, or was that Mike Lindell?

Yes and yes. Trump's "social media" site ended just being his personal blog and Mike's site had a lot of technical difficulties out of the gate, not sure if it's still up or how unpopular it is. I think Parler hurt the prospects of both, and has its own share of problems.

Soooo, Donny ....


If you throw somebody out of your golf club or hotel for wearing a Biden hat, would you expect them to get a court order forcing you to let them back in?

No, he wouldn't. The principle he is fighting for is not that everyone should be able to say what they want without consequences, the principle he is fighting for is that HE should be able to say whatever he wants without consequences.

I mean, Sydney Powell is apparently blacklisted from the properties he has massive liens against.

This filing will do nothing just like his lawsuit against Twitter, Facebook, you tube will do nothing. They had clear rules and you violated them. For Christ's sake 3 weeks after shithead lost he tweeted "#OVERTURN!!#, just a sample of the shit he was spewing, calling those who attacked our capitol "great patriots", fuck you asshole.

"88 million followers?! ... Who knew there were so many bots? ...

So ... after all of Trump’s bravado about setting up an awesome new Trumpified version of Twitter - Which ... according to his highness - would no doubt put "the failing Twitter" out of business, and after several pathetically failed attempts at it, he’s now desperate and begging to be let back on "the failing Twitter" … What a loser. Being banned does significantly weaken his attempts to spread insanity and incipient insurrection, since he is far too lazy to go barnstorming across the country. Regaining his preferred social media outlets would be a fucking disaster for democracy in the US.

Nicely put, all the wining from GOP members "they're trying to silence conservative voices", utter bullshit, how the hell can you be a "conservative voice" yet completely ignore the Constitution we all live under?.

Poor Republicans. They just don’t understand how private companies work. According to this lawsuit - they seem to want the government running private businesses.

When you look at Trump what we see is an exponent of a uniquely American form of mental illness, the enlightenment of our forefathers turned inside out. As he is the anti-Christ in the religious sense, worshiping himself rather than the preservation of humility born of innocence, he is also an anti-American. He is what happens when a child’s natural love is rewarded by parents with contempt and hate. He is a walking case of mental illness.
