Twitter Should Ban Trump For Life (Today's New Talking Point For MSM)
Daily Caller ^ | 11-29-2016 | David Benkov

Posted on 11/30/2016 10:56:55 AM PST by brucedickinson

Since, clearly, nobody in the incoming administration will play Daddy and take away the future president’s text addiction for the sake of the country, the rest of us have to. Twitter’s 317 million users need to demand that the service ban Trump for life.

#BootDonald, anyone?

Twitter has permanently suspended users in the past, most prominently rapper Azealia Banks and right-wing gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos – for tweets containing racially tinged, slur-filled, and other abuse. After all, Twitter is a private company. It can ban anyone at any time for any reason. It can boot people whose names begin with A, or Texans, or veterans. It can certainly ban the President of the United States when his use of their service flirts with national disaster.

Go ahead and ban Trump, he could start up his own website and called it ‘The daily Trumpet’.

Instead of Twitter, call it Trumpster.

And President Trump will ban the MSM from the White House.

This shit goes both ways.

Hey look, Twitter just got declared a public utility and was brought under federal regulatory jurisdiction!

(/what would possibly happen if Twitter actually followed this loser’s advice)

I like it but, ‘Trumpster’ rhymes with dumpster.

It sounds to me like a great business opportunity . The damned thing is just a simple internet hub using sign in data. It is open source code as hell and easy to sidestep the so called proprietary elements. In fact, I can envision it as much better,in ease of use. After we build it , let’s ban certain thought and speech and religions and sexual deviations . They will assert “interstate commerce” and public accommodation but we know that doesn’t apply to twitter so it won’t apply to us!!

The telephone company is a private company, too. A case could be made to consider Twitter a public utility.

He can TOTALLY turn this around by promoting GAB the new platform as an alternative to Twitter. Get everyone onboard and take his 3 mil followers with him.

“It sounds to me like a great business opportunity”....

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump started his own social media site. He could then say what ever he damn well pleases him. My bet is that Twitter would lose a lot of subscribers.

Why anyone would get within 30 feet of a gang-banger-wanna-be is beyond me. I do that whether they’re black, white or Hispanic. If you can smell the vibe, keep walking away. If they run, you run. Don’t get within chasing distance. Too risky.
