Twitter banning Trump was bound to happen. According to their stats, something like 80% of active Twitter users identify as "liberals" and as is becoming increasingly clear, most people have no interest in free speech, they just want to hear from people who agree with them and share their world view.
Twitter banning Trump is also meaningless since as I predicted last year, he will just move to another site like Parler which is where most conservatives are moving to anyway. There is also buzz that he may create his own social media site, although the real question is how many of his voters/followers will tag along as he pivots from POTUS to just another media talking head.

Throughout the U.S. truth and facts have lost their authority. It is pathetic to watch the hypocrisy spewing out of peoples mouths. Democracy is weak and dysfunctional when confronted with powerful lobbies capable of controlling explanations. The control is so blasted complete the vast majority of you live in The Matrix.

We need to find a middle ground that is colorblind, prevents businesses from becoming all powerful while promoting business, and accepts there is a need for some services to be socialized. I don't know how we can get there when so many of us are too self serving and focused on hate. Perhaps a start would be eliminating the idea that a business, or union, is "person", curbing offshoring and breaking up up superpacs.

Just a taste of things to come.
Not that I have sympathy for him, he supported this thing Trump way too long and served him well. But it is a sign of things to come. What we see here on ther Trumpists' side, will be seen done by the ultra-left of The Squad's side as well.Both of them will cooperate in bringing down freedom and democracy.

Apparently the victim of our times is reason.

Depends on how a given opinion camp defines reason. Because they usually claim reason for themselves. That makes reason the perpetrator.

It was all over the news late last night that Trump's twitter account had been closed
Later on CNN I read WH had gone into...something mode. (Trying to remember the word) Markus |

Bam. That's it. 90% of the populace has become so polarized, each by the other side, that I don't see how this is going to settle down. It might, it probably will, but something has to change. If I put a kettle on the stove and turn up the burner, it may not be boiling now but if the flame is not removed, it's just a matter of time. I'm very strongly considering it. I'm tired of being told I'm evil. Besides, I want to get some of that free health care and basic income, shrug. |

I hate traffic light camera's with a passion ... they can target the car ahead of you or the one behind you and yet you are the one that gets the ticket in the mail.
You have to pay a fine or take off from work and explain that it wasn't your car which is very hard to prove unless you have a lawyer. Time and money expended all for nothing ... so I protest and complain on twitter till I have a faithful following that wishes to storm city hall with our complaints. The cry gets so loud that twitter and FB suspend my accounts due to inciting a riot. Free speech hindered/squashed and nothing we can do about it
