Trump suspended from Twitter

He’s like a kid who gets grounded from using the Internet, so he rigs up the smart TV to work around it to watch youtube or something.

There comes a tipping point where words stop being “typical political rhetoric” - which has always been full of exaggeration and hyperbole - to dangerous speech that will incite real world violence.

I am sure supporters will compare this to the Crystal Nacht - but they are actually trying to stop the next one in real life. Hopefully they aren’t too late.

I predict Trump will continue being a demagogue who never lost and go around the country holding packet pay to enter seminars. Rail for 2 hours about the radical left and deep state to 10,000 people who paid $100 a ticket.

More likely:
He’d have partnered with dog food companies to save money, then stiffed (haha) them on payments for ‘disposal’ and years later warehouses full of bodies would be discovered that he had been claiming as delinquent renters on his taxes.

I would settle for a mashup between The West Wing, The Truman Show, and Hogans Heroes where it is the White House staff that are actively plotting their own agenda to keep the “useful idiot” neutered but “in power” to insure some competent replacement doesn’t come along.

“Yeah, well, I’m going to start my own character-limited blogging platform with insurrection planning, money laundering and political donation grifting! In fact, forget the blogging platform…”

See, and that’s the difference between this guy and rational normal people. I recently got a comment of mine flagged and removed which made me re-evaluate what I say here and made me conscious of possible reactions. This guy plain doesn’t care who he offends and doesn’t seem to ever, EVER learn his lesson.

Thank you for linking to the full Marina Hyde article. Never read her before. She is prescient, sharp & hilarious.

Single points of failure are bad. Democracy should not depend on Twitter’s policies.

We’ve needed that for years now. The root of this is not coming to terms with our history, with the continued acceptance of white supremacy, and toxic white masculinity. This is going to continue to plague us, unless we come to terms with these things.
