What's new

Trump's Twitter account "permanently" suspended

. .
They got tacit permission from the Democrats, reference the ANTIFA and BLM riots.

Not interested in your whataboutism, you can oppose both BLM riots and riots by Trump supporters. Trump and his supporters went way farther than anyone else and tried staging a coup, tried holding politicians hostage, and tried murdering them in the House. There are no democrats threatening armed attacks on the Capitol building or threatening civil war.

Maybe Trump will reconsider using Chinese app, China has 1.4 billion people.

Using Chinese social network he would be banned in minutes.

He need to register in VKontakte, Russian social network, and he will never be banned.

:lol:

It is not if you're trying to protect your democracy. What's happening should not be downplayed. Those people tried to storm the Capitol building and get their hands on politicians to kill them or hold them hostage. It could have been a lot worse.
They are certainly not trying to protect democracy here. Additionally banning people never works.

You have no idea how deep distrust of the government runs among folks on the right side. It is ridiculous even to think that somehow you can silence the voices of over 100 million people.

While he was in power and spewing shit on his Twitter account they were kissing his arse, now that he is a goner they have become flag bearers of high morals




Before his account was suspended he did tweet he will not be going to the inauguration. I hope this is not the last time we hear from him, he'll be back one way or the other.

Time to get the TikTok app on the phone Donald even though it could be a national security risk it's probably the only famous platform to allow your voice spread across the globe.

Trump has other ways to speak to his supporters and his supporters do not get banned. Anyone who violates rules on Twitter gets banned. You can't violate rules of a private business. There's nothing strange about what is happening.

He kept egging people and inciting violence. And his supporters were getting the message that they can get away with acts of terrorism. They planned for something worse for the inauguration but now authorities are on top of it. First amendment doesn't protect you from inciting violence/terrorism.

The reason 'whataboutism' exist and even necessary is to give proper context. The improper context here is that somehow what the Trumpeteers did at the Capitol is unique and spontaneous. No, it was not unique nor spontaneous.

What is the difference between a local police station and Capitol building? Nothing, really. Other than scale, nothing much. Both represents the state in various scale. But if you want to talk about scale, for most people in their daily lives, the policeman is a much more important figure than the Speaker of the House of Representatives or the Senate Majority leader or even the president itself. The policeman have DIRECT impact to the people's daily lives. The policeman, the firefighter, the emergency room doctor, and the grocer are only one degree away from you. Attacking their place of business is no different in severity than that of Capitol Hill. You drive people out of these professions and you effectively destroyed the smallest unit of civilization -- the family -- because these professions sustains the family who in turn sustains and grows civilization. Why do you think communists target the family first?

How do you think BLM was getting folks organised this past summer ? Certainly not by using good old Window PCs . They burned down hundreds of businesses. They were using the Apps on their Apple and Android phones. Yes there is a Black Lives Matter App.
Actually Trump supporters saw prosecutors all over the country dropping charges against BLM folks. Trump supporters just didn't pull it out on nowhere.

'Private companies can ban people' should not fly as the App stores have near monopoly as they work as gate keepers. Realtors routinely used to discriminate against black folks before the civil right acts.

No, but politicians who are supposed to enforce the First Amendment can chose NOT to prosecute incitements of violence and terrorism. And ANTIFA and BLM got away with violence and terrorism.

He needs a television channel. Would be better from another country's satellite for protection.

I read the two tweets from Trump following his 12 hour suspension period:


To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!

They are actually pretty tame by Trump standards. Saying that Trump supporters shouldn't be disrespected or that Trump won't attend the inauguration is a pretty far stretch from inciting violence. Although I am no fan of Trump, I do think now that the permanent ban is premeditated and not really based on any violations.
