Trump tweeted: > > _“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”_ > > Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted: > > _“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”_ > > Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our [Glorification of Violence](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/glorification-of-violence) policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service. > > **Assessment** > > We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our [Glorification of Violence policy](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/glorification-of-violence), which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. > > This determination is based on a number of factors, including: > > - The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that **President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition”** Hell, that’s been common knowledge for weeks. Orderly transitions take up to eleven weeks to organize and carry out. They don’t just happen. ---

Someone posted an old tweet thread by a girl whose mom took away her phone. She went on to post from every device she could find, including _the refrigerator._ I didn’t know you could do that. So they may soon be able to add “banned from a major appliance” to the HomeAlone2 list. ---

Interesting. I’ve proposed many trivia items over the years. You have to go through a vetting process and it takes a while-- sometimes weeks. Some of my items have been accepted and some were rejected. I will say that I’ve never had a trivia item accepted as fast as this one must have been. It was likely an IMDB staffer who did it-- someone who had direct entry into the process. A mere mortal outsider can’t do it (unless someone hacked into the site). Were any of the words spelled with Cyrillic characters? ---

I really wish Twitter had given as a reason “we wouldn’t want any victims suing us if our Section 230 protections get removed by the government. So, Donald, you made us do it to protect ourselves.” ---

It looks like it’s gone from the Apple app store as well. You can keep tabs on them with [Parlertakes](https://twitter.com/parlertakes) “I look at Parler so you don’t have to.” A lot of anger, a lot of delusion, and a lot of dawning disillusion as well… ---

Once they found a new host, they just needed to update their DNS entry to point to it. The app points to ‘[www.parler.com](http://www.parler.com)’ (or similar) and if that resolves to ‘192.43.23.2343’ (pretend AWS address) or ‘231.99.123.321’ (pretend new host address) is not important.
