And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

This kind of simultaneous pushback from a multitude of entities, while welcome, might have prevented a whole lot of shit had it come way way way way way way sooner (instead of everyone being all 'oh, you alt-right rascals! you're incorrigible!' for YEARS).

absolutely none of this shit wouldve happened if twitter and facebook had started banning people 5 years ago

The fucking accuracy

P.S. As a message board kid, it's hilarious to watch the actual president get permabanned. He's every poster who ever had 90,000 karma points and got axed after a 745 page thread called "here's what's wrong with this forum."

god it is so incredible to me the extent to which Donald Trump fucked this up. had he passed $2,000 checks there's a good chance he would've squeaked by just enough votes to win the Electoral College and been enshrined as the harbinger of permanent Republican rule but instead he's about to get impeached for insurrection the same week he singlehandedly cost Republicans the Senate while simultaneously getting his entire movement deplatformed as fast as possible

yup

lmao, realdonaldtrump and gabneb posting in heaven

except instead of a clusterfuck thread we have a clusterfuck country

absolutely none of this shit wouldve happened if twitter and facebook had started banning people 5 years ago

at least we'd a lot less far down this road

This isn't over and Twitter, Apple and Facebook moving against them now is weak beer.

the fact that it *isn't* over is what makes it meaningful, however pathetically late in coming

enjoying the ban tweet add a thousand likes per second

yep. gotta say it's completely wild watching all these tech companies finally treating this shit with the serious it deserves. just emphasizes the fact that they could've done it at any time over the past five years

sorry I'm cracking up at Jewish sperm bank

lmao credit where its due

one twitter employee even banned him for a couple of hours that time.

milked it for as long as po$$ible

facebook helped foster a genocide in Myanmar and never took that shit seriously, either

^^^

Twitter just sent a VERY POWERFUL message to every budding authoritarian: You WILL be held accountable after you're 99.99% done with your time in government and your party has lost control of the legislature

So what did he say to finally get banned? Last I checked only recent tweet was about not attending inauguration.

nothing, all this posts were fine

the backlash is going to be pretty massive, personally I am stoked tbh

RIP big man

Disgusting. Big Tech wants to cancel all 75M @realDonaldTrump supporters.

If you don’t think they’re coming for you next, you’re wrong.

“Twitter bans President Trump” https://t.co/4inOMm4Jth

Twitter just trying to join the cool kids table after everybody's getting ready to empty their trays, is all

Pretty sure Trump was banned for threatening Olive Garden for ending its Unlimited Pasta promotion.

lol at them taking 48 hours to mull this over

Trump's response:

the internet 'parler radicals' may be reduced to milling around for a while, but the attitudes they acquired and committed to will not fade quickly and represent a fallow field for extremist appeals.

DISGUSTING, won't somebody think of the memes that will never be shared

powerful

xxp

can we ban Miller next?

Aimless I think you meant the opposite of "fallow" there :)

He went out with a ban, not a whimper.

He can still design a web page on Angelfire, Tripod, Geocities... I'm sure Barron can help him.

Now how will we know when he resigns? Didn't think of that, did you, Twitter?

Aimless is the magic Johnson of ilx, love u man

fire up the old friendster machine

i mean obv Twitter dgaf abt anything BUT it was absolutely going to be an even *more* important platform for him now that he's leaving office and can't put the Presidential seal on his bullshit

we might be in for a John Barron revival

someone send Donnie a ham radio starter kit

There's always Soundcloud's Friday Club.

Waiting for series of Trump thoughts filtered through Eric, which will be like trying to figure out what Pol Pot is saying by hearing the interpretive barks of a labradoodle

— BannedHat (@Popehat) January 8, 2021

he should snatch up millions of carrier pigeons

Now the GOP will have no reason to fear him, since he doesn't know how to insult them to their faces.

My homepage is on Tripod. I'll keep watch over there.

this is honestly so funny he must be freaking mad rn lmao

Lol, if he starts communicating through his idiot kids then they are going to get banned, too.

Now's my chance to publish all his tweets as a book!

can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda wish he could tweet right now

Yeah, I kind of miss the big guy.

Psych.

he's gotta hop on IG live

he absolutely must go parler immediately

sitting on the shitter and not tweeting will be so weird for him

He still has access to @POTUS, right?

he's just going to stop shitting.
