Twitter announced Friday it had decided to permanently suspend President Donald Trump‘s personal account, @realDonaldTrump, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence.”
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” a post from Twitter Safety read. The post continues: “In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.”
“Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly.

...and the 'canceling' of Conservatives begins.
Parler is the place to be.

"Permanently suspends"? Isn't that an oxymoron? How about "permanently censors" because he (Jack the Knife) can?

Hey, ya gotta hand it to those Marxists, they really know how to do censorship right: Simply don't allow political opponents any access to the marketplace of ideas. What does the current President of the United State have to say about, well, anything? You have to go ask him yourself, in person, because otherwise they are not going to let you hear it.

Jack Dorsey like all of us will eventually leave this earthly plane
We will be all be judged.......greeted at heavens gate and stand in front of the Lord .
With his continued sophomoric behavior quite likely response from the gatekeeper is that his access has been ETERNALLY DENIED

This is outrageous. I signed off of Twitter today and don't plan to come back unless Trump's account is reinstated.

Democrats are Hitler and Stalin in one evil persona.
Sadly, most millennials don’t know who either was...but they blindly salute abs goose-step to whatever the Democrats say.

You mean the tweets where he tells everyone to be peaceful, respect LE, and go home? Those inciting tweets?

The funny thing is, who cares? I don’t follow the President on Twitter, in fact, I follow no one. Who are they playing to exactly? Are Pres Trump’s followers going to stop following him? They’ll move to Parler where he also is, and won’t miss a lick. In fact, with the shutting down of lots of conservative voices, they’ll find lots of people shutting down their Twitter accounts. All of the social media companies want homogeneity of thoughts. They’ll have it. They’ll only have the messages they want, and then will be confused when only a few faithful are there to hear.
All of these attempts to separate Pres Trump from his support base are failing miserably. We know Pres Trump did nothing to provoke the incursion into the capitol building. We know there were at least some antifa/BLM hanger ons who were in the lead of the incursion. In fact, it is likely this was preplanned specifically to try and pin the blame on the President. We know the outrage is to try and separate the base, but it isn’t going to work. In fact, all it is doing is emboldening and enraging us. This has been a massive miscalculation on the DC crowds part, and I don’t think that a few sacrificial arrests, firings, resignations or rhetoric is going to change this. The DC crowd is about to find out there are some new rules, and they won’t like them.

It’s time to beat feet from Twitter. Outrageous what is taking place there. Parler is the new uncensored kid on the block. Sign up. Get involved with no fear of punishment or censorship.

I hope that millions of Conservatives, even normal Dems and Independents cancel their accounts with these tech dictators!! This sounds like the beginning of a Nazi takeover of a delusional Jewish guy named Zuckerberg and whatever the name of the other bum is.
As the community punk, who was 8 years in the WH, stated yesterday 'we have to go now after these right wing outlets'!!

I Googled Brittany Bernstein, as she's been a savage dishonest Never Trumper. She's basically a glorified intern millennial.
How low NR has sunk.

TOSH!
We are Americans. We have an innate sense of freedom. We come from a line of those who have fought and died for freedom!
We have joined the fray and saved the world from tyrants over centuries! You think banishment from some ether ridden 8th grade popularity mutual admiration society offends us, slows us, frightens us or deters us?
You know us not. Fakebook and twaddle are child's play. Worse enemies have been confronted, assessed and brought low by Americans before these silly inventions.
We laugh. We care not for your likes or shares.
These triffles were invented, created and impimented by sqwalling infants, for sqwalling infants. The arena of children raised to believe they are the center of the universe, every word bleated out to be clung to and received with awe. Begging and hoping for acceptance.
Such silliness. With your pasty skin, dowager humps and deformed thumbs from twiddling. The arena of children. You think you are the end all and be all. You are nothing.
President Trump laughs as he goes around you, over you and under you with more than a hundred million patriots behind him.
Make way for American Patriots who will keep the republic!
In other words
Hold my beer..

The new fascists are on the march. They had their version of Crystal Night with the orchestrated Capital false flag. Now they are doing the latest version of burning books by making anyone who objects to their boot on the throat. It is the same behavior George Orwell wrote about in '1984' and Animal Farm. They can't go full Big Brother or Third Reich until we are disarmed, which will be done, at least officially, by this summer. The pain from these demons is just starting. I sure wish President Trump, Rudy and Powell had disclosed and acted on all that evidence they collected. Some still have faith they will, but you have to face facts and the opposition that is supposed to be there, isn't scaring anyone.

I deactivated my twitter account. I hardly ever used it, but I decided to make a statement.

Twitter has divided this country like nothing else. This country was far better off before this hate site came along. Cancel this garbage and make those liberals at twitter go on food stamps and live in tents like everyone else in their city.

I joined L.com during the Clinton admin. I eventually left because this website is clunky and not interactive. I have been on twitter for several years and this is my first post in a long time. If L.com were an app and with better functionality than Parler it could fill the void left by Twitter.

I like Lucianne.com just fine. I go here before I go anywhere else. It’s a great news forum and I expect to see it continue on indefinitely.

A question for the liberals who are thrilled with Twitter suspending Trump. Would you be this thrilled and happy if Twitter banned Biden? I didn’t think so, hypocrites.
