Ban still upheld by Facebook board.
One headline - Trump can’t go back to shitposting.
Trump does a lot of fundraising in Facebook.
Kind of mixed feelings on this. I think Facebook should let him post but should remove false statements like they do for anyone else who wants to post on their site. So no more about the Big Lie.

I imagine if trump were to admit as his first post if let back on Facebook that the election wasn't stolen, there was no election fraud and Biden fairly won the election, Facebook would let him back.
Otherwise it would be the ss/dd from trump.

That would be an exercise in futility, I think. FB would need an entire team devoted just to trump.

Meh. It hasn't stemmed the tide of trumpism on Facebook. trump has many mouth pieces.
Heck, I don't think trump (the actual person) matters at all now. There's plenty of people and celebrities and news stations spouting trumpism.
trump is so 5 minutes ago.
Besides isn't he active on those alternative social media sites that everyone jumped to after January 6th? how is parlor doing? and the right wing news stations? One America? and what was the other one?
Hasn't he set up his own "network" so his people can read and see and hear his most marvelous ideas and plans?
trump doesn't need facebook, or twitter, or Foxnews.

I don't care one way or another but if Facebook does this to Trump, when are they going to ban other race agitators like Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, BLM and others who spew racism on their pages.

So you agree trump spewed racism? He also encouraged an insurrection? I find the second point to be much more disturbing for a president

They are going to review it again in 6 months. But it is very refreshing not to see or hear him for awhile. What an idiot.

dondub - don't be changing poster's screen names to disparaging ones. Use their correct screennames or not at all. That's not cool at all. Your post has been zapped as a result.

It's clear to me that you have absolutely no idea what racism actually is. That's most likely because you're racist yourself and therefore see nothing wrong with any of the shit trump and his toadies say.

The site is laughable. Looks like it's main purpose is to grift more $. And of course, the "recurring donation" checkbox is pre-checked...again. I guess at least this time it's more visible. I know Twitter's been busy taking down mirror accounts that are amplifying the blog posts.

He wasn't banned for racist comments: Facebook suspended Trump’s accounts following the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. The suspension was Facebook’s most aggressive action against Trump during his four-year term.
“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his Facebook page at the time.
link He incited an insurrection and has continued to do so.

Twitter Suspends Trump’s ‘From the Desk’ Account One Day After It Was CreatedIf former President Donald Trump believed he had a workaround for his ban from Twitter, it appears he’ll have to think again. Twitter has banned the @djtdesk account, the handle that was created for the new platform Trump launched for himself this week. The website — www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk — is essentially a blog for the ex-president since it allows him to post content that followers can “like” and circulate on social media, but that’s as far as its engagement capabilities go in its current format. Trump launched his website on Tuesday, but on Wednesday night, the @djtdesk account was shut down. Complete article here: Twitter Suspends Trump’s ‘From the Desk’ Account One Day After It Was Created

And here I thought it was Facebook that killed Satan and left all the alleged Christians running around like Chicken Little.

Is there anyplace on this board to discuss the question, "Is it Christian standard thought that Satan killed Jesus or was his crucifixion part of God's plan from the start?"?

But then the Evangelicals, especially the Southern Evangeicals, don't consider Roman Catholics to be Christian.

Trump reportedly deleted his blog because he was upset people were mocking it and it had such a small audience
Trump deleted his blog because he didn't like it being mocked, The Washington Post reported. His team originally billed it as a social-media platform that would rival Twitter and Facebook. But the blog ultimately had very little engagement and a shelf life of less than a month. Article here: link
