President Trump Suspended from Twitter · 4:26am Jan 7th, 2021
We Americans have seen a lot in these past four years. Every line that Donald Trump could cross, he crossed it. From countless lies, to siccing police on his own citizenry, to fomenting violence wherever possible. And his bootlickers and cultists and toadies have kept lockstep the whole time.
But today, he finally did it. He crossed a line so brazen, so disgusting, that it demanded action from the highest authority Trump follows. The only thing he truly cares about.
That's right; today, Trump was suspended from Twitter. And in order to unlock his account, he must delete three of his own tweets—ones that encouraged violence at today's terrorist action at the capitol building.
Carry on. And, now more than ever, stay safe out there.
Lol sucks to suck
Music to my frickin' ears. But you know his sycophants are going to cry "censorship" over this.
Once he’s out of office I’d love it if they just permabanned him. I’m pretty sure a *lot* of his tweets bend or break their terms of service but they didn’t want to do that since they’d be accused of bias, censorship, and Trump would likely retaliate with legislation making their lives significantly harder. Ain’t none of that applies soon. Private business and an extremely toxic private citizen.
5430464 Stupid games, stupid prizes, etc. Haha
5430478 They've been doing that, lol. Parler keeps crashing because it can't handle all the traffic. The irony never stops with them.
5430479 They shoulda permabanned him *checks notes* four years ago.
Funnily enough, Trump did try to get legislation removed to target Twitter. One giving protection to internet business (Section 230). But since he doesn't know how laws work, removing that protection would likely give all those businesses good reason to finally censor the MAGA cultists. (Said law prevents companies from being held liable for things said on their platforms.)
Good on Twitter for doing something right.
Imagine being so horribly out of touch that you use an attack on your nations capital building to whine about election results that you lost by nearly 7 million votes.
Fucking clown.

I have a new-found appreciation for both Bush and W. I mean, might lead you into a war, but overall, good guys.
About frelling time.
5430545 5430685 only took a terrorist attack for them to finally draw a line.
5430568 The sad part is, we don't need to imagine it.
5430605 As one reddit comment aptly put it, I could still sleep at night with Bush around. I'd rather a president declare a needless war on another country than his own citizenry. (I'd rather no war at all, but, well...)
5430709
Agreed. I miss sleep. I look forward to more of it in 2 weeks.
Well, I woke up this morning, turned on my TV to CNN (which is where I'd left it when I shut things down last night actually (or was that the local NBC channel? I forget)).... and found out that he'd actually deleted the three tweets that Twitter said that he'd have to delete to get his account back.
I guess poor widdle Donny just couldn't live without his ability to post his utter bullshit.
You ask me?
Twitter should've both KEPT it locked, or better yet, terminated it completely and given him a perma-ban.
Because we ALL know that they'd do just that to you and me if WE'D posted the kind of stinking excrement that he has.
5430729
It's not like it matters. His Tweets are archived as presidential records.
5430729 There's was someone who made a new account, then posted exact copies of Trump's tweets. They gt banned within the hour.
They haven't banned Trump because he creates a lot of traffic for them. The fact they finally took action shocked me, even if it's way too little too late.
5430605
I mean, I would argue Cheney and Rumsfeld are more guilty of warmongering than W., but as a dove I wouldn't vouch for any of them regardless.
5430738 That may be true, but who with ANY amount of sense would want to even READ the things?!
Oh.
Right.
Anyone who's one of his brain-dead base.
Silly me.
5430739 Noooo, pretty sure it WAS Trump.
I know he's STILL banned on the following (copy/pasted from the BV Discord chat about the same):
Twitter
FB - blocked
Instagram (FB owned) - blocked
TikTok (seriously?)
Whatsapp (FB owned) - blocked
Youtube
And hey, at least they did!
5430807 And yet, this is still the most consequences he's ever faced for anything he has ever done.
Haha, sad chuckle.

We should all strive to embody the virtue of law & order.
Thanks for the seed of knowledge.
5431491 except that's all lies. We know there was violence, we know it was planned. Hundreds of posts across social media--Parler, Facebook, more--discussing violence before the attack. There were bombs, gallows, zip tie handcuffs. There weren't "a million people" there.
One person's biased experience doesn't change the truth. This was a terrorist action; it was violent, people died.
Be more responsible about the things you post.
And now he's outright banned.

You do realize that was my personal experience while I was there. I am giving my personal experience. They where not lies, that was what I experience, I was in DC in person and I posted that so that other would have first hand account. You delete my personal experience. This hurt to see the fandom that is supposed to love and tolerate. Deleting post of someone personal experience because it does not agree them. This makes me sad
5430986
Thanks for sharing that
5432547 Except you are using your personal experience to diminish what happened. You're claiming that your personal experience was pleasant and idyllic, in contradiction of reality.
For a society to remain tolerant, we cannot permit intolerance.
I always thought the best of this fandom. It hurts my heart every time I'm proven wrong.
5430986 I don't know what this image is getting at? The tweets calling for violence were deleted for that exact reason. In particular, the video of his rambling, destructive speech.
