    Here he comes!

    Failed former president and failed business man is going to be allowed back on Facebook!

    Indeed, while I fully expect Trump to abandon his sham of a social network, will he be welcomed with open arms? Adoring supporters?

    Or mocked mercilessly as the fool he is?

    In a highly anticipated decision, Meta has said it will allow Donald Trump back on Facebook and Instagram following a two-year ban from the platforms over his online behavior during the 6 January insurrection.

    Meta will allow Trump to return “in coming weeks” but “with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses”, Meta’s president of global affairs Nick Clegg wrote in a blogpost explaining the decision.


    “Like any other Facebook or Instagram user, Mr Trump is subject to our community standards,” Clegg wrote.

    “In the event that Mr Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation.”

    Lmao and just like that…Dems have another thing to be angry about. Trump is on fire lately lol.

    That being said. It is very nice to see the dem grip on a lot of this social media slipping even if only a little.

    They hate allowing their opposition to speak. It’s sad they can’t give fellow Americans their rights

    What is there to be angry about? It's not like Trump hasn't been able to reach people when he wasn't on those platforms. Nothing's going to change.

    Shoot, he'll do something to get re-banned and use the backlash to raise tax and bankruptcy proof money for his PAC which will pay for his out of US waters ship and the girls staffing it.

    Democrats, on queue, lining up to demand the censorship continue... The cries of anguish that somehow, their evil tyranny has been undone.. Typical.

    The second a platform started banning leftists and their agitators, it would be civil war.

    He should have free speech even on Face"crack". Still, when you give a pyromaniac matches (in this case return the matches), have the fire trucks and planes on the ready.

    Who is demanding he be banned?
    I think the biggest gift he ever gave the Democrats was his constant mouth diarrhea — he should absolutely be able to amplify that on the old peoples social media sites like Facebook.

    There's no such thing as a right to make someone publish your statements for you if they don't want to do so. In fact, there's a right to not have to do so. It's the right who is attacking actual rights in this case: both 1A and property rights.

    He's been fact checked. And Trump lied far more often and was never banned for it. That isn't why he was banned.

    Oh, totally bro. I mean, everyone knows the right's issue with social media is based on the left's manipulation of it, not them posting racist, hateful, ignorant, derogatory, bigoted bullshit

    So, no, he hasn't. for the same problems. So, there isn't a comparable example. So why even try to equivocate here.

    You failed to read. No, it wasn't "for the same problems." Meaning they aren't comparable. Meaning you are the one engaging in false equivocation. Trump lied non-stop on Facebook and never got banned for doing so. He was banned for what he said on Jan 6th.

    Convenient equivocation. Joe Biden has said repeatedly that he is unaware of his son's criminal behavior. He is actively compromising national security in sharing classified documents with his son, and that information is flowing out the door to foreign governments, not our friends...

    If Facebook banned, say, JeanPiere because she actively shares misinformation, lies to the press daily, and then posts publicly about it, from your posts, you'd be ok that happened then, right?

    The issue is the left calling everything racist and bigoted, even when it’s not. In order to censor those they disagree with

    Oh, totally. Totally bro. it is not because MAGA bigots and MAGA racist don't post bigoted and racist ****. It is because others are not accepting and understand of their ignorance and racism.

    LOL.. really? Is that why we saw the streets of Atlanta burning, yet again, from the domestic terrors of the Democratic party, ANTIFA? And remind us again why? Of course the lefties will care. And it will bring out their goons. Just like Atlanta...
