Twitter finally shut down Trump's account.
For good? Not just twitter jail?

Twitter finally shut down Trump's account.
Fuck yes.
Needed to be done. He needs to be boxed into a corner where he can't do shit for the next two weeks.

So he can't tweet but he can command the armed forces? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I don't seriously think there's an armed force that would accept or obey a command from him at this point. Space Force, maybe, but are they armed? I mean beyond pretend phasers?

Anyone who volunteered for his imaginary space marines assignment are probably not the sort who can manage to get themselves into space in one piece. Well, maybe that Diaper Lady astronaut from a few years back.

I don't find that entirely reassuring at this point

Did you taser yourself repeatedly in the nuts, Volans?
I mean, no....
I know a GUARDIAN (I have to say it that way)...he's in Space Force but not really by choice. He was SPACECOM as his Air Force job. He's not on board with this stuff (and by percentage, the USAF is the *most* on board with Trump of any of the branches).
I''m glad that Twitter shut Trump down, but I'm still thinking that several EU countries are going to look at banning FB and Twitter. Those (and other sites of course) have been such a way for white supremacists to support each other and radicalize more people that countries like Germany are looking at their home-grown white supremacists and asking what's spinning them up, and deciding the answer is "American media."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Honestly, anyone who is "turning against" Trump now, in the last two weeks of his term? Fuck that and them. It's too little, too late.

I've got a poll going elsewhere on why people are resigning or turning against him now:
- They were too dumb or naive to see where this was all headed
- Dems won GA and ended the GOP majority
- Trump was doing something extra crazy we haven't heard about yet (this keeps aging out)
- They don't care one way or the other about anything but riding the gravy train
- They were fine with sedition and treason until it became a televised spectacle
- They suddenly realized that if the mob was coming for Pence, any of them could be next
But the choice that's winning is: "He can't attack them on Twitter."

I do realize that Twitter has been his preferred weapon and I’m glad he’s banned, but this is just a bizarre state of affairs
