Over the past week, Putin has posted tweets announcing his wheeling and dealings with financial institutions, presidents, prime ministers and a prince. With each tweet, Putin posts links to additional details of his interactions.


They banned Trump 3 days after the 1/6 mess. It's been 6 days since Putzin, the insane warmongering asshole, ordered his military to invade Ukraine....and he still has an active account.

I'd have expected someone wondering about the answer to have cited something that says why. Y'know, investigative reporting so they can at least publish Twitter's initial neutral statement.

Here's why Trump was banned, and OP has not correctly described it. It wasn't simply because 1/6. It was repeatedly spamming Big Lie crap before to after 1/6. Maybe The Kremlin's account didn't violate the exact same TOS. Maybe they're going to anyway. Or maybe it did and there's some other likely financial reason.

Of course, the only reason that kind of source writes articles like this is so that those who have embraced a hate-based ideology can chime in with headache-inducing stupidity, like this:

Because the left just hates Trump.

Yes, the entire left shares joint control of twitter. That's right. You've got it figured out. Have a cookie.

You have to read that idiotic link in the OP. It's got more whining in it than a daycare.

But if you're feeling generous, you can donate because everyone is so mean to Donald Trump!

MRC #FreeSpeechAmerica Reader,

Never before have a few companies had the ability to silence the entire conservative movement. Now, a handful of tech companies can censor both the people and the ideals of the right through a dangerous combination of computer programs and deliberate censorship.

This is why #FreeSpeechAmerica, a program of the MRC exists—to defend conservative speech online and expose efforts by top tech companies and their employees to silence conservative voices with Orwellian speech controls. We are part of the only organization purely dedicated to this critical mission and we need your help to fuel this fight.

Donate today to help #FreeSpeechAmerica continue its fight. $25 a month goes a long way in the fight for a free and fair media—which includes social media.

And now, thanks to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, you can make up to a $300 gift (or $600, if married filing jointly) to the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of your choice and use it as a tax deduction on your 2021 taxes, even if you take the standard deduction on your returns.

No, the POTUS account isn't banned. Twitter banned the personal account of Donald J. Trump because he kept violating their Terms of Service. This isn't Putin's personal account, but that doesn't stop the conservatives from whining and not knowing what they are posting about.

These attempted hit threads are so stupid.
"Why hasn't this entity I would be attacking no matter what done this thing I arbitrarily have been done by a specific date? NO DO NOT ask me why I have not done this for every other similar entity."

Meanwhile, we had a Fox host finally lose patience with all of Fox's quisling crap re: Putin/Ukraine. You'd think someone upset about not being mean enough to Putin would be absolutely outraged and disgusted by a channel that has actively pushed a pro-Putin/pro-Russia agenda ever since we found out they interfered on Trump's behalf. (Nevermind


Which is why he started claiming Ukraine did it for the Ds. Then he unlawfully withheld approved funds to extort fake evidence. And then he praised Putin's genius moves beginning the invasion. Not one

Did OP start threads raging about that? Did he? Does he ever?




Instead we get to hear about how Twitter wasn't mean enough to Putin fast enough. But hey, maybe we can have some hilarity. Maybe someone can come by to idiotically suggest mentioning Trump in a thread about Trump, Putin, Twitter is "TDS." Trumpists are good at idiotically dishonest suggestions.

And sure enough, @Integrityrespec already gave us one, right there in the second posting slot. FFS.

Weren't they supposed to be starting social media of their own, and wasn't it supposed to be so successful that it would own the libs?

:unsure:

Guess those plans got walled.

Keeping Putin on Twitter is good for the puppet master's narrative.

And now we have the derpocalypse of CTs. It's all a sinister librul plot full of shadowy characters. Deep State! Obama! Lizardmen! ANTIFA dressed up as Trumpists who conspire with the CIA and FBI! (Mycroft said something almost identical to that last one)

The democrats control social media.

They like "defund the police", war, smash-n-grabs, etc...

They didn't ban his POTUS account. They didn't ban Putin's Kremlin account.

Why did they ban Trump, and has Putin or one of the accounts he has control over done any of that?
