    [​IMG] This is pitiful, disgusting, sad and pathetic too! I hope Facebook makes their suspension of Trump permanent like Twitter did?!! Let's keep the social media sites, free of Trump?!!

    Former President Donald Trump’s most recent attempt to get a platform has been upended.

    On the heels of the launch of his new webpage, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” on Wednesday, the former president’s team created the handle @DJTDesk on Twitter. By Wednesday night, the account had been suspended.

    “As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” a spokesperson for Twitter said in a statement.

    Trump’s “From the Desk” page is essentially a blog with a timeline format that resembles both Twitter and Facebook’s platforms. In the site’s brief life thus far, Trump has made a series of scattered, combative posts attacking the likes of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). He also lambasted Twitter, Facebook and Google by name.

    I don't understand why he just hasn't created his own social media website or a forum.

    A Ghost Account?

    And, thinking it would fly?

    Could Trump be any more of a Total MORON?

    Too funny.

    It's not even funny anymore. It's just sad at this point.

    He has. In the OP. Twitter won't allow him to use their platform to publicize it. Twitter seems to feel they have the right to dictate to their platform what information they can view or read. Time to remove their 230 and make them liable for all of their content since they seem willing to curate it now.

    True.

    Trump jumped the "it's just sad" shark years ago.

    Anyway, obviously the next logical move is for:

    FB and Twitter is to Ban/Suspend ANY Account that posts things from Trump's "platform" on their sites.

    Anybody who wants to bask in the Imbecility of Trump's Mentally-Deficient Brain Diarrhea is always free to visit Trump's "platform".

    So what?

    Twitter DOES have that right. Period.


    Anybody who doesn't like it, is free to stop using Twitter (and move on).
    ^Problem solved.

    So go help the guy out then. If you can do better, lend a hand. Oh wait, you're not really conservative or republican, are you. Never mind.

    It's called removing those voices you disagree with. Typical of the left and is also called cancel culture.

    I take a medication for my blood pressure. I can tell when I've forgotten to take it because I don't feel well. This is what I envision about Trump. His "life force medication" is adulation. It's clear that he's not well emotionally over these bans.

    Well, thanks for the acknowledgement then that they should not have any legal protections then. I agree that any media that curates their content is then liable for their content in its entirety and of course, the legal liability of that decision. Brava... you move towards the truth even if you don't understand it... LOL

    He claims to be in the middle but most of his posts disagree with him.

    Damn right I am not a conservative or republican

    I support smaller government and more personal freedoms...two things that conservative or republican hate these days.

    I have never claimed to be in the middle, please do not say such a thing about me.

    I belong to neither sheep pen, but my views are hardly "middle of the road".

    This is fine, but Twitter needs to lose all 230 protections. Fair is far... only a dishonest Leftist would oppose it.

    So what?

    Twitter has a TOS just like PF.

    Follow the Rules or get booted.

    And, terms like "cancel culture" are Sour Grapes (from the people who are upset that they didn't invent Twitter).

    I UNDERSTAND The TRUTH.

    And, just some friendly advice:

    Ratchet back the Shady Personal Insults.

    Not a good look, especially when you know that you have lost the thread (and have nothing else).:bored:

    Anyway, back to the OP topic, I fully support Twitter's decision.

    And, Trump's people had to be dreaming if they thought that would fly.

    Trump's People = DELUSIONAL (just like Trump).

    And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what an ACTUAL war on the 1st Amendment looks like. It's their platform. Their property. But keep declaring war on their rights so that the Nanny State can force them to publish things they don't want to. Just don't pretend to care about actual, real rights or limited government. No one will be daft enough to believe it.

    independent does not equal middle of the road.
