1. I think stumpy is suffering for it..

Good...

[Scrivener7]

2. One can only hope.

[Delmette2.0]

5. He needs to suffer as long as we are emotionally recovering.

[Blue Owl]

3. It's blissful

And you know it’s driving the fat fuck bonkers to be publicly silenced, his pea brain can’t figure out how to communicate beyond 160 characters while taking a shit...

[SallyHemmings]

4. I have reclaimed my time

While the news is terrible, it would be worse with the other guy throwing verbal bombs.

I am spending less less time explaining the crazy to my grandchildren.

6. They showed an image of Trump on MSNBC last night and it was so...

DISTURBING to see his ugly mug. Made me realize, and grateful, that it/he wasn't daily in the news as the lede.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. Literally could not stand to look at the lying fool's face, hear his voice,

or read his semi-literate, juvenile, narcissistic scribbles.

Not having to deal with that corrupt, cruel, mean, entitled, ignorant, spoiled rotten rich brat fool in our faces day in and day out has been a slice of heaven.

8. Amen!

[crickets]

19. +1000000

[heckles65]

9. Amen as well

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. Surprised didn't see any mention of Trump's upcoming social media platform.

Read a couple days ago that it's a couple months away. Of course in Trump speak that could be never.

I just hope that we and the press don't give it any oxygen if it comes to pass.

18. I suspect or at least hope it's just another money making con

He finally found a way to fleece millions. He’s not going to let that go. He’ll be asking for donations to get his platform launched and as is usual with him he’ll just bank the money not spend it to fulfill any sort of promise.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Some think if it happens, he won't be able to build audience

Not like being president and gaining millions of followers

11. What it was like the day Twitter went silent.

I didn't know what to expect when Donald Trump got booted from Twitter. It was quiet. Nice and quiet.

It was like sitting in a Laundromat talking to someone for an hour or so while some guy has four pairs of sneakers and his rock collection in a dryer while he sat in the back practicing the kazoo. The racket continued and you became used to it. You gradually raised your voice and strained to hear without realizing it. You became edgy and irritated, until... it stopped. Just like that, it was over.

You think you went deaf. You're stunned. You wiggle your finger in your ear as a calm settles over the entire store. You can hear your friend speak in normal tones and everything is clear and lucid. You glance to the door and see a man and a woman come in to wash a bag full of Beanie Babies. Nice, quiet, Beanie Babies.

It was like that.

15. LOL! Well written! I started my day with a laugh.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. DUzy!!!!!

[Harker]

12. Hello, darkness, my old friend... n/t

[George II]

13. ....

14. I Don't Want To Hear Any More Trump News Unless It Includes "Sentended", "Prison", and "Years" nt

[dalton99a]

16. or "Former President Trump Is Greeted by Satan in Tremendous Homecoming"

[moondust]

17. Jack Dorsey deserves a Nobel.

No telling how much global damage he prevented.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Haven't seen a summary. Wonder if there were any noticeable

financial repercussions to all the platforms that banned him? Hope not.

I really can't see a situation where they would reverse their decisions. Based on the article I just read, if Trump does come up with his own platform like he's been bragging about, he will use it to target GOP he doesn't like. I can't see that as a reason for other platforms to reverse their decisions

[Johnny2X2X]

23. This ruins his future political prospects

He cannot exist and be relevant without Twitter. I just don't see it with him, he is nt going to be a force and control the media so well without Twitter.

Another side effect is that Joe has been able to do his job without constant Tweets from Trump undermining him.
