Meanwhile in Trump's Demented A'Brain;
Quite grand how he admits to being manipulated by constant ass kissing. Dumb demented narcissistic piece of human trash.
One might simply take note of the irony of banning a communication platform in the name of "free speech".
It is ironic, though not necessarily without merit in the case of a social media quasi-monopoly; one might ban a dominant communication platform to force discussions to platforms with different sets of restrictions, regulations, or whatever. In theory the lack of choice could lead to a greater freedom to engage in the discourse in a meaningful way.
Doesn't sound like that's what's going on in this case, though.
There is so much self contradiction in that little brain fart its a wonder it didn't logic bomb his cerebelum. Like, that is right up there with Dalton in Road House saying 'Pain don't hurt' as if its some kind of Zen.
The cerebellum, incidentally, is not involved with conscious thinking; it's primarily associated with motor co-ordination, although it has been linked to a few other aspects of cognition (e.g. fear conditioning). It's generally viewed as a sort of feed forward error predictor at an unconscious level. When an command comes in from the rest of the brain, it matches it against the existing sensory information and desired output, and issues a "correction" to the command to improve accuracy.
On the other hand, it does mean "little brain", which kind of fits for Trump.
Big strong leader shows himself to be small and petty. Film at 11.
Probably sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends too, or would that be in poor taste?

"Before we get on to our denunciation of the Great Satan, a word from our sponsor, Raid: Shadow Legends."
Guess Twitter should just build it's own Nigeria then. It's a private country it can do what it likes 
I dunno the platform has a tendency to not respect free speech itself. It's slowly shifted into becoming more and more of an orthodoxy.

Honestly I find it quite funny that government officials even know that banning websites is possible. Like do the orders come from above, slowly trickling down from the boomer president to the Gen X department head to the millennial tech guy who actually gets it done? Is the tech guy pissed that now he won't have something to scroll on while pretending to work?
Been on my mind lately because our country started banning porn sites, and I have to wonder who is in charge of hunting down and approving bans on all that porn.
