[Perjury Traitor Greene’s Twitter account is now restricted](https://www.yahoo.com/news/twitter-restricts-greene-congressional-account-220321528.html): > Twitter on Tuesday restricted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) congressional account for seven days after she repeatedly posted an image of a poster about a rally called “Trans Day of Vengeance.” > > Greene tweeted about the event after three children and three adults were killed in a shooting at a Christian school in Nashville. Police say that the suspect in that shooting, who was killed during the incident, identified as transgender. > > Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, [said in a separate t](https://twitter.com/ellagirwin/status/1640780214967107585)[weet](https://twitter.com/ellagirwin/status/1640780214967107585) that the platform was automatically sweeping to remove images of the poster over worries it could incite violence. > > “We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest,” Irwin said. So, this should mean tht twitler himself should be restricted again. After all, if _vengeance_ does not imply peaceful, then neither does _retribution_. ---

This bit during a recent Jimmy Kimmel monologue amused me. So, the gist of it was: trump’s been bashing Stormy Daniels in his rallies, calling her ‘horse face’ in his charming way, saying things like, not only did he not have an affair with her, if he did have an affair he could do much better than her, etc. etc. So a trump supporter said on her twitter account “President Trump wouldn’t touch you with a 10ft pole.” Daniels replies: > True. He used a 3 inch one.

> [@solost](#): > > trump’s been bashing Stormy Daniels in his rallies, calling her ‘horse face’ in his charming way I noticed back when the whole Stormy Daniels story first broke and she was on the news a lot, that if you just look at their faces without all the hair and makeup and stuff – she _kinda_ looks like him. Which is probably what attracted him in the first place. ---

Stormy, $130,000 was not enough, not by a long shot. I mean, did he wear a full body condom, like the ones used in Woody’s Allen’s ‘Sleeper’? Haz Mat suits? Something? I’ve no real sympathy for a porn star (and face it a hooker). But really, you need a better business plan if you only accepted 130k from that… thing. ---

Not directly a Trump story, but loaded with schadenfreude: Wyoming judge rules against new state abortion ban, citing a constitutional amendment passed by Republicans in 2012 to interfere with Obamacare.

Trump is supposedly a billionaire. She should have held out for more zeros on that check. At least one. What she does as a career is of no business of mine. If cheap skate Donnie had added a zero, he may not be in this mess. One of many. ---
