Biden's in. All the stops are out. It's been building up to this for a while but Trump - well, by analogy, they've been building and tuning the science at Los Alamos, but Trump is the Trinity test. All the little guys that got shut down and kicked off - that was just tickling the dragons tail. This is the full scale demonstration of exactly the number of fucks they give about what you can do with your opinion if it doesn't fit in. If you have a business, facebook/twitter access can be important drivers of engagement and you don't want to lose that. If your social group depends on online contact you are already under peer pressure to conform but now you know, if you didn't before, they can pull the plug on you no matter who you are if you are in the wrong opinion group.Not just sin-binned from FB, banned:
Yes, it is a little worrying, although my concerns are more around the monopolisation of social media. In general I support the right of private companies to ban whoever they want - I would probably have banned him about 10 minutes after he joined - but that isn't really the point. FB & Twitter are so huge just now that private company thing isn't really adequate anymore. The trouble is, it's a tricky one to fix.The "we only do this because we are the ones who know right from wrong" canard does not comfort anyone not in lockstep. Popular opinions don't need protection - but now they will be protected against contradiction. Such cheery utopias don't historically last and tend to kill a lot of people - first, of course, those that disagree - then those that come to disagree, then those who could have benefited from some disagreement.
What you are effectively saying is that these video clips prove that all of those court cases were lost, not because the evidence was hollow or some other legal failing, but because the deep state cabal controls every court and judge in the land, even the ones Trump appointed, and would not allow Trump to win, except that one court case, which they probably let him win so as not to look too obvious.Even here, slam dunk proof of fraud is ignored.
I looked and all I've seen so far are unsubstantiated claims that apparently don't hold up in court.The election was stolen. Anyone who doesn't see that refuses to even look.

Meanwhile, here's another court case:
Dominion voting systems to sue former Trump lawyerView attachment 1947
Dominion, the manufacturers of a voting system used in the US election, is suing President Donald Trump’s former campaign lawyer Sidney Powell for defamation.
Powell made numerous claims about the voting system including that it was “created in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chavez”, the lawsuit says.
The conservative activist and former federal prosecutor also made unsubstantiated claims that votes for President Trump had probably been switched in favour of President-elect Joe Biden.
No evidence has been provided for any of the allegations and courts have dismissed lawsuits which referred to those claims.
Dominion is requesting more than $1.3bn (£960m) in damages. It claims it spent millions on damage control and security for its employees, NBC news reports.
Point stands.The vast majority never became a court case. They were dismissed prior to any evidence being allowed to be shown.
Looks like it:All the stops are out.
For one thing, he might start tweeting (and thereby declassifying) classified information.Looks like it:
Not sure what the point is now.
"further incitement of violence"?
What a load of pish. He just made the biggest mea-culpa you could ever expect to hear from someone like him and then they ban him? Pathetic.
Same with the latest impeachment nonsense. Overeaching, piley-on arseholery.
He might have.For one thing, he might start tweeting (and thereby declassifying) classified information.
Except that's not really true, as your post proves. A little harder to find, sure, but hardly vanished. I posted that Tweet on here before it was deleted then updated my post with the same screenshot last night.One of the benefits of blocking Trumps tweets is now you can tell people what they said and people cannot check.
I think that's a given.And this gloating arsehole can get in the bin as well.
I'm beginning to worry that I hate everycunt.
Left, Right, doesn't matter; arseholes everywhere.
-EDIT-
*Disclaimer:
I don't actually hate anyone. Nonetheless, I hope we can all at least agree that Hillary Clinton is an arsehole.
