    He will probably label you a Communist in one of his poison pen letters if you don't give him your debit card number and PIN.

    All I found is another app pretending to be social truth.

    Not at all. Twitter allows you to criticize it and even disparage those who own and run it. This platform won’t allow that.
    It should be called the Snowflake Platform because it gives dirty donny and his followers a safe space.

    I was done with him when I saw this:



    That was when I knew he was an enemy of the country he was supposedly leading.

    I can't hear any sound. Is that when our intelligence agencies warned him about Putin and he publicly stated that he side with Putin or something along those lines? If so, that's one of the reasons I had on my list. The Capitol riot was the last straw.

    Also, I anticipate that all the ones soiling in their diapers about him being banned from OTHER people's social forums are going to be jumping for joy when the Orange Stain bans anybody that doesn't love him. They've got the whole hypocritical double-standard thing down cold.

    It was when he stood beside Putin and clearly took his side on the issue of Russian interference in the election. His narcissism is so crippling that he was that easily manipulated by "persuasive" Putin into taking his position over that of U.S. intelligence.

    “[Putin] just said it’s not Russia,” Trump said, of charges Russia had meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. “I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.”

    Yep, that jogged my memory. That ticked me off too. And, when he was in office her earned $54M from some property in China. Then, he had the nerve to say that people should re-elect him so he can make China pay. He was kissing Xi up, down and sideways when he wouldn't even let investigators into the Wuhan lab. He is a carnival barker - just rambling to hear himself talk and they eat it up. It's vile.

    Maybe he is spending all his stolen money on some kind of mass hypnosis. I don't understand how ANY true American that loves our country would let that nonsense slide. Slime just oozes off him and his equally awful children (not Barron) and they don't see it? How is that even possible. It's a impenetrable stench.

    yeah but there's a whole vast array of things you're not allowed to criticize on Twitter.

    Start a profile and criticize them and see what happens prove it to the world.

    Trump is the antithesis to free speech. He wants free speech as much as he wants free and fair elections and that's a 100% NOT AT ALL.

    Trump wants to be in an echo chamber and have everybody tell him how wonderful he is. If he wanted free speech...

    * Why the hell did he walk out of a Summit because some other jerks were gossiping about him?
    * Why did he toss around the idea of writing an Executive Order to ban Biden from being elected?
    * Why did he constantly shut down all communication from networks he labels "Fake News"?
    * Why did he have a hissy fit because Dr. Fauci and Birx commented on his lack of leadership when COVID got to the US.
    * Why did he make a point of commenting on some other idiot's comments about the size of his hands?

    He's just a spineless idiot and bully. If any other POTUS acted like him, people would be marching in the streets until he was put in a straight jacket. It was bad enough he was tweeting nonsense at all hours of the night but we have to continue to be embarrassed because he can't get his childish whining in check and airs all his dirty laundry in public?

    Plus, the people that sign up because they want front row seats are going to be disappointed. My bet is he can't hold up his end in a mutually respectful discussion. Twitter was his speed because it has something like a 50 character limit. That's about all his brain can think up. He's functionally illiterate so what's the plan? Hire somebody to read posts and summarize it for him like he did his morning briefs?

    I wish he'd keep his damn promise to leave the country if Biden was elected. Ugh.

    I believe it is the fear and hatred of Democrats, liberals and progressives that has been instilled in them through years of sustained partisan misinformation and propaganda coming from both the Republican party and the ostensibly independent right-wing media, though in truth they work hand-in-hand toward common goals and to help one another. Those feelings are strong enough that they overlook the faults even of Donald Trump, they are so desperate for a strong leader and savior.

    Sounds like a plan...

    Besides, stories about Trump's Echo Chamber have to be exponentially more interesting than 10 repetitive posts a day by people obsessing over the content at Democratic Underground...

    OK, Dur, I was with you until the last 8 words. Trump is not a strong or good leader.


    1. Makes good decisions

    Good leaders are confident enough to make hard decisions despite criticism especially when they have information those he leads are not privy to. There was no reason to reverse the travel ban because Pelosi said he was xenophobic. So what if he's xenophobic? His job was to protect us, not his hurt feelings.

    2. Feel secure, has self-esteem and self-respect

    Good leaders are not intimidated by or jealous of their team members that have more experience and talents. He or she wants to give those employees the room to do their jobs well because that reflects on them. Trump can't stand anybody around him that doesn't fall at his feet and proclaim his their lord. Insecurity is not a good look for any leader and especially not a POTUS.

    3. Gratitude toward others

    Good leaders know that their main goal is to run their departments for the best outcomes and appreciate and respect the men and women that do the work to make that happen. Trump is never appreciative. He doesn't respect others. He doesn't know how to be quiet and let others have a turn to speak. And, he either completely loves somebody or completely hates them. He put a target on Pence's back just because he was mad that Pence wouldn't break the law or his oath to the country. That's a psychological disorder.

    4. Empathy, Compassion and Understanding

    Good leaders know that people are fallible and they can be empathetic when a subordinate may be going through some tough things. Trump doesn't have any emotions toward anyone. Everything has to be all about him. He delayed Stimulus checks because he wanted to send a letter and have his signature printed on the checks. He was at risk of being homeless or hungry or his family being homeless or hungry and that delay was difficult for many Americans. He is tone-deaf about anything and everything that is not about him or filling up his bank account.

    5. Responsibility and Positive Outlooks

    Good leaders take responsibility for the people they lead. They know that good working relationships and growth in corporate cultures is very important and no man is an island. They have positive outlooks *and* prepare for things not always going perfectly. Trump gave us his empty platitudes about COVID but he didn't do anything else to actually keep control of the ship. He just walked off the job to campaign full time.



    I honestly believe if we were able to get into some of his supporters' brain waves, we would find that some of them are not okay with his actions and non-actions but don't want to speak out for various reasons. I've managed teams. I have employees now. There is no way that an employee would be able to do the things he's done (or didn't do that he should have done) and stay employed. I don't know the stats but I'm guessing that some Trump supporters manage people and I doubt any of them would shrug off decades of embezzlement, hostility and dysfunction in the workplace, efforts to stab anybody in the back within seconds, pathologically lying constantly and contributing nothing positive to the work environment, the team or the company. Nobody could convince me that any competent manager would be okay with all that. And, if it's not okay in our professional lives, why is it always justified and rationalized because the problem employee was our POTUS at one time?

    Now, had you concluded your comment with "they are so desperate for a functionally illiterate racist, sexist, serial cheater, scam artist, hateful, loud mouth idiotic bully with no redeemable qualities", I would not have pushed back. LOL

    AJ, I've watched Trump's speeches and rallies and all that. He never says anything interesting. He just uses low-brow humor and talks crap about how everybody else is to blame for his failures. He drones on about his hands not being small and his hair not being a weave, makes fun of overweight women, mocks Hillary, calls Warren out of her name, bitches about Democrats and just repeats that every time he's in front of a microphone.

    So, my guess is you'll be disappointed because everyone that doesn't worship him **will** be banned and the rest will sit around acting morally superior as they talk about all the people they hate because they don't look, love and/or worship the way they do.

    Twitter doesn’t, to my knowledge, ban criticism. It prohibits spreading false information and inciting violence. Those are quite different from criticism.

    So tell us - what are you not allowed to criticize on Twitter?

    depends on what you're criticizing.
    No it bans criticism
    Are you kidding have you been on Mars for the past 10 years?

    I will not waste my time trying to convince someone of something they refuse to accept.
