Would you kick-in to try and ban Trump from Twitter?
Valerie Plame Wilson, former CIA operative, wants to buy Twitter and ban President Trump
Valerie Plame Wilson's on a mission to get President Trump off Twitter.
How?
By buying it, of course.
Wilson — best known for being revealed as a CIA operative because of a leak during the George W. Bush administration — has started a GoFundMe page to buy a controlling interest in Twitter, in order to delete the president's account. The company is currently worth nearly $12 billion, with its shares going for around $16.

"Donald Trump has done a lot of horrible things on Twitter. From emboldening white supremacists to promoting violence against journalists, his tweets damage the country and put people in harm's way," Wilson wrote on the campaign's page "But threatening actual nuclear war with North Korea takes it to a dangerous new level."
""Donald Trump has done a lot of horrible things on Twitter."
So this is a "President Trump said mean things" issue. There ARE a VERY simple solutions.
In order to buy 51% of twitter , every man woman and child in America would have to put up 20 bucks.
Hell, no. We need to keep getting the real, unvarnished, ugly, and unfit Trump.
NO !
let trump be trump and watch him shoot himself in the foot constantly.
This is a rare opportunity to get a peek into the mind of a megalomaniac if the mental health community isn't studying this they should be.

Pardon me while I go re-reg and up this comment about a hundred times!!
No it's not acceptable. But you know, they want to stop him from saying mean things.
Is Twitter the only way Trump can express himself?
He's entitled to the right to express himself. He's not entitled to a platform to do so.
As you make your opinion known, here on Newstalkers, you know....a 'Platform'.

Subject to the rules of the platform, which are decided on by its owner. Perrie can give me the boot any time she likes, and it will be perfectly legal for her to do so. I can be kicked off of any privately-owned website that I use, because it's privately owned.
And if I weren't on NT, do you really think I can't make my views known? Of course I can, and I have far fewer resources than Trump.
Good grief, he has access to a podium and news coverage any time he wants it, and a staff devoted to getting his questionable message into public view, and people are worried about his freedom of speech if he gets kicked off of Twitter?
FWIW, I hope he keeps tweeting, so we can see the difference between the teleprompter Trump and the real deal, but if Twitter ever decides to give him the heave-ho, that's their decision. He'll still find ample avenues to make a fool of himself, I'm sure.
And if he does, he does. He is obviously within the Code of Conduct/Terms of Service of Twitter or I'm sure he would have been booted by now. The deal is, everyone gets a platform. As long as it stays within the rules, they get to use it.
How trying to force him off twitter is a good idea? It isn't. Once you force one person off, it's that much easier to force the next one off. That's not a direction we should be headed towards as a country.
And if Twitter is bought out by folks who choose to change the rules to the point where is tweets are a violation and boot him, that is their right. The platform is privately owned.
Like I said, let him tweet. He embarrasses himself on a regular basis, and that suits me fine. But kicking him off of Twitter is hardly stifling him. He already has more outlets for his stupidity than just about anyone else in the country.
I say he should keep tweeting ! Keeps the Left distracted. The LEFT is only happy when they are distracted, then keep wondering why they lose.
Bet the LEFT, without looking it up, even knows what new things have been made into law by Mr. Trump and company.
Russia, Russia, Russia !
Tweets, Tweets, Tweets !
Racist, Racist, Racist !
Hair, Hair, Hair !
Fat, Fat, Fat !
Did you see Barron's clothes yesterday ?
OOOOOOO !....LOOK !....A squirrel !

Why are you going after Baron? He is just a kid. Guess you don't have any.

Distracted you didn't I.
You should re-evaluate your comment after re-reading and actually comprehending what I posted.
Did you see Barron's clothes yesterday ?
It was a conservative who went after Barron, and a liberal (Chelsea Clinton) who defended him.
But don't let facts get in your way.
You seem to like to willingly forget that the Barron Thingy started with Liberals, Like the Autistic thing Liberals thought was funny about Barron.
But, As I already noted, You Liberal Types thought it was funny, so you Liberal types were distracted AGAIN !
What does that have to do with anything? I don't care whether it was conservative or liberal. Did I say that? NO!
I don't know how to break it to you, but people are more than a political party!

Thank you Mags!
How many times have you voted for a third party candidate for president Perrie?
Or senator or governor for that matter?
Mags, my reply was to It-Is-Me, not to you. He included attacks on Barron's clothes in a list of "offenses" by liberals, but it was actually a conservative who attacked his outfit and a liberal who publicly defended him. It was a lie, so I called it out.
No I like the tweets and agree with most of them. I would chip in to get Hillary a red ball harness to silence her barking.
It's not Trump's tweets that are the problem, it is the stupid people that believe and admire them.
If Donald Trump was an asshole who actually knew the sorts of things we expect Presidents to know to do their job, then I might pitch in to shut him up. However, Trump is an asshole who does not know anything about how to do his job, and therefore his self-imposed ignorance needs to remain accessible.
