He could and they'll just shut that down too. However the loss of millions of followers is hard to overcome even if they didn't shut it down quick.

No, Twitter would suspend any new account that is Trump's.

Ah, yes. It's the suspension of the bullhorn that was used to incite violence that's the problem.

Instead of removing Agolf from office, Pence calls the family of the dead cop to give thoughts and prayers.

First Twitter perma bans the shitbag in the White House and now Democrats will impeach him again Monday. Doubt it will work but fun to watch.

Also
Murkowski becomes first GOP senator to call on Trump to resign
"I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage," Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News.

He wouldn't have any followers.

And anyone could be DJTRUMP*45. He won't be able to be verified.

Plus he'd be banned again because he'd post his own same old shit.

The tears on FaceBook should keep me entertained for a week.

Too bad the true idiots like those folks cant be removed from public. They do no good at all.

Maybe Cheeto can join TikTok.

Wait. It gets good still. Apple is threatening to pull Parler from the app store
unless they start moderating.

Face Eating Leopards turn on their own. They were playing with fire, and almost burned everything down.

Almost too late, President Trump finally found that he can't get away with everything. Directing his "low class" protestors against his own party is what ended him, more than simply having them storm the Congress.

For anyone else, the hypocrisy between letting the MAGAts go free and attacking BLM should have been enough. I am so tired of Right-wing Conservative terrorists.

A not small portion of the primary content creators helping radicalize these folks are in it solely for the easy marks and easy money, much like Copeland fleeces his flock. Others do it just for the trolling lolz. For them to incite is to profit, or they just latch on to the big fish to sell their tacky coins, OMG people suck.

Wait, you guys are on Parler? You must have a WAY higher derp tolerance than me.

Don’t you have to submit proof of photo ID to get a registration? Curious how you got around it (I’ve never looked, maybe it’s super easy).

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all of these social media platforms and platform hosts are suddenly very concerned about things now that the Democrats officially control Congress and could theoretically set up commissions and hearings. Yes, I'm cynical, why did you ask?

Trump and all of these instigators should have been banned a long time ago.

Almost a shame we cant see Donny rant about his ban. All he can do is rant and fume at those near him. Melania may have a black eye tomorrow. But he is a coward and wouldn't do it himself...he'd get Ivanka to do it.

Vs an unvarnished Trump and co free to incite and plan further attacks? It's going to inflame for sure, but if your calculus is inflaming bad, then does it inflame more than doing nothing? Not sure it's as clear of an answer as you are suggesting...

I hope they still have pearls to clutch when they find out via the FBI some of the insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol yesterday intended to take Pence hostage and maybe kill him.

So it's ok for the government to force Twitter to let whoever they want in their establishment? Does the same go for her Shooters restaurant? How about those pesky COVID restrictions she didn't follow in her establishment?

Yeah. The 'I can't believe he was really a face eating leopard after all' is ridiculous. They all deserve whatever shunning they get.

I wasn't suggesting anything, just making an observation on how the mob would react.

To keep going with the fire metaphor, it will add fuel, but starve it of oxygen.

If only there was some other way for the President to speak to the nation, other than using Twitter. The fact that he can only speak to Americans via social media is a shame.
