  1. Haven’t used social media in 2 years (unless you count YouTube) and it’s been a much better life 😎

    1. I’ve never used it. Well, I tried Twitter for about two days. I felt so silly, I quit instantly.

    2. COVID is CCP’s BioWeapon. search risk-life-flee-china virologist’s twitter @DrLiMengYAN1 and her gene evidence reports, get a Gene guy you TRUST(not the famous ones on TV) to verify her reports, she has waken the right(she had to talk to the right 1st since the right was in power), help her waken the left!

      PS: Why CCP did’t allow wuhan people to go anywhere in china, but allowed them to go overseas?

    3. @AFD Chocolate milk Oh shoot I think we’re talking about 2 different things. I was thinking of the YouTube channel Down The Rabbit Hole

  2. You’ve got no first amendment rights on a private organisations platform
    They make the rules
    Your stuffed mate

    1. Tell that to the people who sued the Christian baker who didn’t want to bake a cake that goes against his beliefs.

  3. I can’t wait until the judge explains why the U.S. laws that protect his companies from idiots, are the same laws that protect social media companies from Trump.

  4. If this were a person of average intelligence, we could ask, “How could anyone be so stupid?” But, this is 45, we must let the evidence speak for itself. Now, all those who kneel before this man, get your wallets out. Texas

  5. Trump’s lawyers might want to learn from Giuliani not to file frivolous lawsuits for him.

    1. You call it frivolous because the mainstream media did not do a good job explaining to you what the issue is. If you listen to what Dershowitz says you will learn that this is a first in US where a US citizen (a duly elected president no less) has had their 1st amendment rights suppressed by social media platforms because they think they protect their readers 1st amendment rights. If you think this is frivolous then you agree that social media tycoons should have unlimited powers…. which I’m pretty sure you never bargained for.

    2. @A B First amendment applies to government suppressing private citizen. Not to private entity booting off other private entity from their property.

      Any sane person would have removed 45th from their platform after things that he said when rioters were inside of Capitol building.

    3. @tokul76 So you are saying that a private business has the right to refuse service, which in this case is Trump’s right to exercise free speech? And to refuse service based on political beliefs? If you are right then you are advocating for restaurants having Whites Only signs out their doors… I hope you are ignorant and not serious!!!

    4. @A B Did you not listen to the lawyer? You are claiming that if I want to protest the government, I could demand to enter Trump Tower and take over their conference room, or I could enter your home and start spouting off. You could not arrest me because it would mean the trespassing law were illegal. They did not refuse service based on political beliefs. They refused service because he was inciting violence, which every publisher knows that they can refuse to do because it is illegal.

  6. The grift continues !! Go fund me page to follow ? The “chosen one” gets more delusional as each day passes 🤣🤣🤣

  7. At Trump’s recent political rally, he said about paying taxes on fringe benefits, “Who knew?” When he was running for president, he bragged that he knew the tax laws better than a CPA. It appears that Trump knows almost nothing about free speech and tax laws.

  8. Just another way to grift. Keep taking their money to pay rumps bills. Probably another money laundering opportunity as well.

  9. Can we make a law that you have to have at least one year of civics before you can be president that Georgia holds officer present you actually have to have the education equivalent of of High School sophomore

  10. So much Trumpian winning that i bet they can’t take anymore wins. “Stop, stop, stop! We are so tired of winning” 😴

  11. If you can’t do better, sue them. Pretty sure if his blogs did well, he wouldn’t care.
