Twitter doesn’t even pretend to treat its users fairly anymore.

Yesterday (October 5) Twitter suspended the account of “Ricky Vaughn,” the pseudonym of a popular Twitter user whose real identity is unknown. (Ricky Vaughn is the name of a rookie pitcher in Major League, a popular 1989 movie. Actor Charlie Sheen played Vaughn in the film.)

Ricky Vaughn is a prominent Donald Trump supporter identified with the alt-right phenomenon. He’s so big that MIT named him the 107th most influential Twitter account on the election.

This election is a fight for America’s very existence, and the existence of the entire free world. It’s a fight against evil and the brain-dead minions of evil (the left).

Want to bet that the Clinton campaign/Obama administration put pressure on twitter?

As Michael Savage has said many times on his show:

“Liberalism is a Mental disorder, you keep doing the same exact thing over and over again thinking it will change”...

ANYONE who would vote for ANY Lib has got to MENTAL!!!

I love Ricky. He is definitely a white nationalist and frequently tweets on the imoact of white voters.

I generally don’t tend to set my money on fire. The thing I really can’t comprehend, is how so many everyday people don’t comprehend what is happening here, they’re either complicit, or really effing stupid, or a combination thereof.

Look at Twitters stock price. It was a scam stock to begin with. Anyone who bought the stock has lost their money.
Today it fell 20%!!!

I followed as well, though the infrequent focus on “white” nationalism was cringe-worthy. I only care about Americanism, racial identity is for the most part a political fallacy intent to divide America into us-and-them camps. It is BS and I refuse to play the pawn.

I seem to remember an article, strategy from the Clinton camp, targetting Trump supporters online to break his support.

Is it true that Jack Dorsey and DeRay Mckesson are a couple? That might explain the axing of Ricky.

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame was shadow banned this week, too, less than 48 hours after endorsing Trump.
