here you have an abyss of a man who just tried to unleash his most fervent supporters on members of his own party, including his replacements should he actually bite it while in office, and not only is he not summarily removed from power, but the party he'd drive through pikes for more power wants him retained or fucking else

(i won't even mention the trumpsters on the street who claim indignation that trump can't crime anymore from twitter -- they want him to direct them to their prey, and they're fucking lying if they say they just want free speech)

just how desperate are these republicans to fucking rule over ruins that they'd kill themselves for this profoundly fuckedup monster?

The risk of being publicly executed by Republican voter was a price Republican lawmakers were very willing to accept, when they thought it could never happen to them.

It is reflective of the power that we gave corporations over speech but nevertheless this isn't a new phenomenon.

I would reiterate that if four straight years of conspiracy spouting nonsense isn't enough, if it takes going as insanely far as POTUS inciting an armed insurrection before a private social media platform can be moved to kick him, and even then with reluctant dragging feet, then "free speech" could not be more safe in the hands of private social media platforms.

If corporations possess any such "power" they seem really reluctant to actually ever use it.

Being kicked off of a private company's social media platform for violating their TOS is literally the same thing as being hunted down by the state police for imprisonment and reconditioning.

Honestly, I think the more concerning "power" is the one necessarily claimed by supposed "conservatives" who think they are entitled to access and use other people's property in a manner contrary to their freely entered agreements. "Conservatives" have a word for that idea, with which they will continue smearing people they don't like on their new social media platform in the next day or so, which they totally couldn't access with complete ease because they're totally oppressed.

I'm guessing he sees the red arrow and thinks that it means that in after hours trading Twitter lost $51 per share and not 85 cents.

Twitter lives off short time generated perma controversy and outrage. Trump is perfect for Twitter. Because he never stops delievering at that.

By banning Trump they kick off one of their greatest content and free PR providers.

I would love to see Twitter disintegrate.

It's not going to happen, and there's no indication the drop in share value will be extremely dramatic. There's presently no reason for investors, who're seeing stock prices hover around at an all-time high, to be unhappy
