Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Elegiac]

LMAO Ben Shapiro backtracking after years of enabling and sympathizing Trump and Trump Supporters.

That’s nice Ben but being a hypocrite about the right wing’s incessant Islamophobia won’t make your wife’s p-word wet, rofl.

How anyone actually stands listening to that chucklefuck for more than a few seconds is beyond me.

[Elegiac]

All three platforms have their own rules, but, Twitter has been especially concerned since Trump said his tweets count as official statements.

Honestly I'd personally find it funnier if they let him tweet, then flag & gag everything he says. I mean, he can always post on Faceboohhhhh right. I mean, he can always take it to Parler.

Ah yes, Parler, the website you give your drivers license and SSN to before spending all your time on Twitter talking about how much better Parler is. Sksksksks.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro just showed @Zeth Hawkins how to do it. "This was wrong, and I condemn it" is really easy to say.

Granted, the whole "not all Trump supporters believe this" kind of falls flat for anyone who said "all BLM supporters" or "all Democrats" or "all Clinton voters" or "all posters on MMO-C" and therefore self-identifies as a hypocrite. I'm not going to go through everything Ben Shapiro ever said, to see if he did anything like that.

Just kidding. I'm Chef Fucking Breccia Son and it took me 23 seconds, I counted, to find evidence Ben Shapiro is a hypocrite.

It’s been, what? 17 hours since Twitter suspended his account and he still can’t access it yet?

I am led to believe that, after you willfully delete the ofending posts, the punishment countdown starts then. Meaning Trump had 12 hours after...whenever he took them down, don't know when it happened, so expect him to come back raging mad this evening.

...possibly only to be immediately re-banned.

[gondrin]

And his latest idea worked as badly as the previous ones legal ones.

Since if it were a trial by combat, then team Trump lost that as well.

Some of the police standing behind her when she was shot (in the "just a flashbang" video) actually seemed to be escorting some staff out.

Well, I've been saying it for years that the Presidency should be decided Thunderdome style.

[Forogil]

The suspension was 12h starting from when he voluntarily removed the offending tweets.

And that was also his final warning about permanent suspension from Twitter.

[Breccia]

Twitter can no longer play Catan because they just banned Wood.

Twitter permanently removed pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood’s account, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed Thursday.

A Twitter spokesperson said Wood’s account was permanently suspended for violating Twitter’s rules. The spokesperson also confirmed Wood’s second account, “fightbacklaw,” was also removed.

The spokesperson would not share any further details about the suspension.

After Wood’s primary Twitter account was suspended, Wood posted on Parler, a social media platform popular among conservative voices, that he would be posting on his secondary “fightbacklaw” account.

Parler brands itself as pro-free speech over its decision to limit content moderation. Unlike mainstream social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, Parler does not label or take action against posts that may spread misinformation or incite violence.

Wood continues to post on Parler, includinghinghing hing hee hee hee hee HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Parler" HAHHAHAHAHAHA

Shame they don't remove more sheep tiles. Then again, Twitter is basically a sheep port. That juicey 2:1 they all flock to.

[Benggaul]

I'd like to think I had a small part to play in that. I reported several of his Tweets and received confirmation that they violated the rules so they'll be taking action. Some small payback for having my account permanently banned for referring to Ann Coulter--who made a big stink about not being able to say what you want anymore--as a stupid bitch.

[Mehrunes]

Graham is going off... Lindsey Graham just got off the ship...

Given how he was one of the most anti-Trump during 2016 republican primaries only to turn into one of his biggest ass-lickers with the flick of a wand, this is really surprising.

And with how... hmmm, let's say "wonderful" republican voters are, politicians like him likely won't suffer any fallout from this BS.

Then you did.

For those calling for the 25th amendment, from what I heard last night, that will never work. Once Trump objects, they need 2/3 of BOTH houses to override him. Impeaching only needs 51% of the house and 2/3 of the senate. That's the only way to go.

That was true until 2 days ago. Trump leaves office no matter what the 20th. That's 13 days from now. The 25th allows the president to contest, but if the vice reconfirms his removal, congress then has 14 days to decide whether to reinstate trump. That's longer than 13 days. Until they decide, the vice president remains acting POTUS.

He's got 6 years until his next election, the goldfish won't even remember this in 3.

Exactly, I wouldn't be taking any bets for the 2026 General Election just yet. A lot of stuff is going to happen between then and now. It might be more relevant if Lindsey decides to run for President again in 2024, which he might. He has no chance of winning either way though.

Personally, I think the GOP removing Trump was about 300% more likely - 300% of 1%, mind you - before Democrats joined in calling for it, especially Chuck Schumer. Even this small jolt of awakening from their cult nightmare hasn't been enough to shake them from their rabid opposition to anything a Democrat wants.

[Breccia]

It's funny since he never deleted the tweets.

Supposedly he did. Twitter said so.

[Stormspellz]

They already stopped with that when they suspended his account.

also conveniently on the day they learned that dems would be heading all the congressional committee's that oversee them as well.

[Timester]

I really really that is the beginning of the deplatforming of all loonies. Calls to violence and unlawful practices need to off social media, simple as that.

Oh totally, he is a cock weasel... or is that his pool boy? Anyway... The really impressive thing, is that he listed everything he was doing the last 2 months for Trump, but said he found nothing. He turned being a Trump lapdog, into him being on a fact finding mission and finding nothing.

Not really. If there's one thing consistent about Lindsey Graham, is that he will lick the boots of whoever's in power. That's no longer Trump, so he's moving on.

[Mehrunes]

He's got 6 years until his next election, the goldfish won't even remember this in 3.

If you mean three years, you're being way too generous right here. I wouldn't give them even three months.

Aside from his side gig of sucking the cock of the current GOP bigwig (in regards to which he's the world champion), I doubt anyone ever accused Graham of being effective at whatever he's doing, or even of being a productive member of society.

As the first part of that sentence quite clearly indicates I was being sarcastic.

[Zeth Hawkins]

"Not that I support this protest anyway" is not the same as "I condemn this violence". You expressed apathy about protestors, you said nothing about the riots and insurrectionists.

Strike one.

This seems to be a game for you. Very well, dear, I condemn this violence. Just as with the riots and terrorism in Portland (and other cities), and the CHAZ fiasco, I hereby voice my anti-support and condemnation toward those who participated in the Capitol Building riots and terrorism! Condemn, condemn, condemn.

I look forward to being told I do not actually mean it.
