And now YouTube suspended his account for a week: > **[YouTube is suspending President Donald Trump's channel | CNN Business](https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/12/tech/youtube-trump-suspension/index.html)** > > YouTube is suspending President Donald Trump's channel for at least one week, and potentially longer, after his channel earned a strike under the platform's policies, the company said Tuesday evening. ---

It’s more than a bit ironic that Trump’s Twitter account gets taken down–which we mostly all agree with–and yet we rue that we can’t watch his melt-down in real time. We’re just never satisfied! ---

Well, if he did still have access to Twitter and other platforms, you know what we’d be seeing: "I have the most impeachments. A tremendous amount of impeachments. People are saying they’ve never seen this many impeachments. "… (I cannot take credit for this; I spotted it on another board.) ---

I say we give Trump four more years so he can get the first impeachment hat-trick! ---

I think you mean “four more weeks”, right? 🙂 That’s how long it will take him. ---

I mean, really, we don’t need to wait for him to do any more. There are plenty of things that he has done that are impeachable already. The “perfect” GA phone call, for instance. ---
