Flash! Bam! Alakazam! VP J.D. Vance banned by a phony ‘Bluesky’!
American Thinker ^ | 06/19/2025 | Charlton Allen

You’ve got to give Vice President J.D. Vance some credit here. The man knows how to trigger the snowflake set without even trying.

Vance joined the oh-so-bumptiously named X-competitor Bluesky yesterday. It didn’t take long for the fun to start.

One moment, he was creating an account; the next, the platform was reacting like Alec Baldwin at the prop department—panicked, unhinged, and a lot of imprudent pointing going on.

Let’s start at the beginning.

Vice President J.D. Vance joined Bluesky on Wednesday and posted a polite, even warm greeting:

Hello Bluesky, I’ve been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I’m thrilled to be here to engage with all of you. 

Attached to that post? A screenshot of Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurrence in United States v. Skrmetti, a Supreme Court opinion upholding Tennessee’s law banning sex-change procedures on minors.

In two follow-up posts, Vance said Thomas’s opinion exposed how “so-called ‘experts’ have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth” and noted that many of those same “scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma.”

He closed with a simple, “What do you think?”

Apparently, what Bluesky thought was: Get him out of here. NOW!

Within 20 minutes—less time than what gets trimmed from a Kamala Harris word salad before it airs on 60 Minutes—Vance’s account was suspended.

No warning. No encrypted verification. Just a digital trapdoor. Only after public outcry and press inquiries did Bluesky quietly restore the account, blame an “automated filter,” and cite a rash of fake online identities.

Right.

And I’m sure it had nothing—NOTHING—to do with the Vice President’s posting of Justice Thomas’s stance on this issue.

His presence—and a modest, reasonable question—was enough to short-circuit whatever passes for a content filter...

He’s got my vote in 2028. As Gutfeld! says, “We don’t deserve him.” LOL

A reference to “Orange Colored Sky”.

The ultimate performance of this was done by the incomparable Adam West in 1966.

That is the equivalent of “Old Snake Head” signing up on Free Republic! Not a lot of friendly responses expected.

So which is which?
The title says ‘banned’. Then after much verbiage, we read ‘Bluesky quietly restore the account’.
I can’t know what did happen but I know the author of such drivel is be permanently banned in my books.

I am having trouble seeing a difference between that echo board and this echo board.
