So Twitter just suspended MY account for wishing MF45 fall into a vat of concrete

And I can't get back to the page where they explained why I was suspended because I clicked a "Next" button and the only thing I can do now is remove the tweet.



But I copied part of what they said first.

Violating our rules against abusive behavior.
You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.

Apparently this means they can't shut him down. I assume that's not just some rumor but one way to the other they're certainly acting that way.

All things considered, though, it's probably not a good idea to be so direct.

Which means that every time Trump has deleted one of his own tweets, he's in violation of that law.

However, if Twitter were to suspend or lock his account, the tweets would remain and not be destroyed. Twitter leaves his account alone because it makes money for them, so Trump's account is not subject to the same rules that are applied to the hoi polloi.

Twitter said at first that I could browse at will and send DMs to my followers, but I can't get past the "remove the tweet" page after I appealed. I'm not gonna remove the tweet since I did nothing wrong. Here's the tweet, which was in response to one of Trump's complaining that the Resistance will never be happy no matter how much he "gives" them:

@realDonaldTrump That's right, you obese, evil, unbelievably stupid blowhard. We won't be satisfied until you and your moron kids are out of OUR House. The only things you "gave" us is chaos, hate, and tax cuts for the rich. I hope you die of a painful disease, ignored by everyone.


I didn't threaten him, didn't incite violence. I have no power to cause any disease, including a painful one. We're not in medieval times when wishing for or even imagining out loud the death of a king was treason. I think the WH social media staff are keeping an eye out and trying to shut down Resistors. It's happening a LOT.

than that rightwing Coast Guard terrorist who stockpiled weapons for a murder spree. Shades of the totalitarian deep state. A poem I wrote during the Bush/Cheney years:

Twilight in Babel

for the Homeland:
O brilliant and gifted galaxy
distilled to one state-of-the-art black hole
like a mountain inverted
the remainder squeezed
through a tunnel of wires,
a restricted zone of
satellite dishes turning in unison like locks
behind massive steel doors,
six-stories of subterranean order,
three thousand rooms below ground level.

Here, rumor rises like smoke;
bomb sniffing
dogs follow the scent of
every official order

to strip search the shadows;

listening devices
monitor surreptitious thought
recorded in exponential increments
for national security.

Above ground beyond the bunker,
the sweet sticky smell of overripe apples,
sunflowers heavy with darkness.
Even the moon seems farther away.

Jets shriek past in the night.

No one is safe.

No one speaks.

I don't know how Twitter works, but I assume there's a way to involve moderators, like if someone makes a complaint. (?) If so there are plenty of TrumpHumpers who might feel bold enough to get others kicked off. That's one of the ways they "own the libs."

I hope there's a way for you to appeal the ruling though. It doesn't seem fair. I've seen so many nasty rude things on Twitter, including the awful stuff written by the Orange Asshole. It doesn't seem right that they've kicked you off.

“Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should be able to see and debate,” the post reads. “It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.”

That is what the Mafia did to get rid of the Teamster's President - James Riddle Hoffa.

You cant just wander around pushing people into a vat of hardening concrete.

Are you part of the Sicilian Mafia or Los Cosa Nostra ?

Well anyway,.. what a marvelous idea,.. drown Motha Fucka 45 in concrete to finally shut his trap up, then we don't have to listen to his Fascist garbage.

This is pretty informative.....

begin snip,

September 28, 2012
Not for the first time, investigators are digging around to find the body of Teamsters chieftain Jimmy Hoffa, who mysteriously vanished in 1975. A forensics team is following a tip that Hoffa lies buried under a concrete driveway in suburban Detroit, some 30 miles east of the Bloomfield Township restaurant where he was last seen alive. He was declared legally dead in 1982, and the hunt for his remains includes many high-profile — and expensive — searches. Here's a look at the latest quest to find Hoffa's remains, and other rumored burial grounds for one of organized labor's most powerful bosses:
