People are saying it will be the greatest reassessment they’ve ever seen. Tremendous. Did you know that Facebook invented reassessments? Not many people know that. So we’ll see in two weeks. ---

If inciting an insurrection to end the peaceful transition of power isn’t worth a perma-ban, what is? That is a proportionate response. ---

That’s certainly true and I agree. But when he’s been dealt something especially painful, I can’t help myself… I wanna see him whine and squirm and hurl impotent insults and make up lies about his own greatness ‘n’ shit like that. I could possibly be a very sick puppy. ---

Oh, don’t worry. He already whined and squirmed and hurled impotent insults and made-up lies about his own greatness ‘n’ shit like that. A quote from @romansperson’s cite above: > In a statement, Trump did not address the decision directly, but said that actions by Facebook, Twitter, and Google are “a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country.” He added: “These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price.” One of Trump’s henchmen, can’t remember which, was already out on camera this morning gleefully calling for protests and boycotts. I’ll update when I remember who. ---

They should all totally boycott Facebook and instead take their business to Parler, Frank or Trump’s new platform. ---

They can leave in a huff. Or if they can’t leave in a huff, they can leave in a minute and a huff. And if they can’t leave in a minute and a huff, then they can leave in a taxi. ---

He responded on his Sad Twitter for One page, but I don’t believe for a minute that he wrote it himself. It’s not self-aggrandizing at all, and he doesn’t use the words “I”, “me” or “mine”.
