Is Banned from Twitter cruel and unusual punishment?

Published:

And maybe that's what Attorney David Schoen meant when he said Trump wasn't given enough time to mount a defense and that was after saying the Senate acted too slowly. Eric told his Dad to use Rudy, but "NOooooooo".

But the Republican Senators will make sure Trump is not convicted and pretend like the attack on the Capital Building never happened. But not all because apparently six believe the trial is within the Constitution. It's easy to see why Senator Romney voted for it.

We talked about ordinary people getting banned from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for sharing things they probably never watched or read, but what about someone that is "compelled" to say something anything regardless if it's misleading, inaccurate, or a flat out lie. Punishment comes in different forms and at the end of the day it might not matter what the Republican Senators do if Trump is banned from most social and news media.

Any reasonable person, whether they political or not wil come to the conclusion that it's in the nation's best interest thst he be banned and stay banned from Twitter. He abused his privileges.

You don't give an alcoholic a drink, nor do you give a drunk driver the keys to the car. You know why, no need to ask.

Regardless how the Republican Senators vote, prosecutors with criminal charges along with lawyers with civil lawsuits are forming long lines outside Mar-a-Lego.

What still boggles the mind is how a nonpolitician could become so strong after only 4 years in, even after he was defeated at the ballot box. The Bela Lugosi of politics became so strong that people were prepared to storm the nation's Capitol based solely on his word, one woman from San Diego lost her life in the riot after being urged by Trump to show up and act up.

Trump did the unthinkable: Consider that Jim Jones started his cult following while in his 20's, Trump started his political cult following in his 70's. It's been said that it takes years, if not decades to establish oneself as a cult leader, but Trump through his television show and foray into politics bypassed that long journey. As much as his followers may admire him, him not returning to run for high office is a plus for America. Let the Kool- Aid dry up for good.

Noise, don't know if Jackie Speier is your Congresswoman or in a neighboring district, but she has first hand knowledge of what happened at Jonestown; she was shot five times.

It's ironic that Trump used social media to create the problem, but can't use it to lie about what really happened. He successfully used it to convince many of his supporters to break the law. From what we're hearing from many of Trump's supporters in the Senate, it's almost like he has something on them like a Mafia Don. Did he make Cruz, Hawley, and other Republicans "offers they can't refuse"?

A good example is what Mike Lee did at the end of testimony yesterday. He previously acknowledged the Tuberville call to the Salt Lake City Tribune, but acted outrage when it was brought up. He was asked but never said which part was false.

The Republican Party began sowing the seeds when Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon and ignoring Reagan's participation in the Iran/Contra Affair. It didn't take much thought to know W. Bush won in 2004 because several swing states placed a "Defense of Marriage Act" on their ballots. It's no secret that the first candidate for any office in a Republican district are the first to say they are "pro choice" will be elected.

Adding religious bigotry, homophobia, racism with a sprinkling of Nationalism creates a cult like following. The current Kool-Aid drinkers demand some sort of denouncing protest that turn in to riots without ever mentioning what those people were protesting.

He has to have sonething on many of these guys aside from his base. How do you go from calling Cruz's wife ugly to Cruz laying his reputation on the line for a guy that dragged both your wife & father through the mud?
I also think Putin has something on Donny, How else do you explain Trump literally washing the guys feet? I think if Reagan was alive & of sound mind, even he who they worshipped, would have a hard time trying to tell the base to do the right thing.
I can just hear faintly in the background: Where is Reagan, we gotta hang Reagan. As for pro life,that's a joke. These guys are pro birth- cutting food stamps for families, putting children in cages. Actions speak louder than words- they wolves in sheep's clothing.

Bet Trump's legal team still doesn't know what they are going to say in the next couple days. The only possible argument is Trump didn't literally mean to "fight" or was really going to "walk with them" to the Capital Building. Bet they figure out a way to justify Trump telling his people to "go to the Capital Building and fight like hell". The length of the trial will depend on what they say because that could require rebuttal witnesses.

It's pretty clear most Republicans will vote for acquittal but the majority will vote guilty. The thing is other than getting it on the Congressional Record, the punishments are not much more than a slap on the wrist. After the Senate trial is over, the criminal investigations will begin those phone calls he made to Georgia could possibly give him a number and it won't be 45.

I swear, had Twitter left his account intact , he would have had a field day putting out all kinds on BS on Biden’s Inauguration.l see he is permanently banned and FB is thinking or going along those same lines.
What a stain on his legacy: First President to be impeached twice.
First President to have his Twitter & FB accounts closed.
Yet the voters drunk from the Kool-aid will continue saying Trump2024. How do you spell fools?
