shouldn't be. Not everyone in this country can afford the phones or want to comm. in this manner and the idiot is clearly incompetent and is a spoiled brat that has damaged seriously the integrity of the US.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Trump would pick another social media platform, probably an unheard-of one, and it would swell into a competitor to Twitter with all of the Trumphumpers joining up to keep up with the words of their Dear Leader. Also, since the media would have to report messages on this media platform, they'd get free advertising worth millions, and would be eternally grateful to Trump for the advertising dollars flowing through their coffers.

Why would Twitter give that up?

However, the flip side is why does he get to break the rules, freely while the rest of us are not allowed. I could write profanities about Trump and my account will get suspended, where as he can do the same at me, PLUS send his hordes of followers after me, destroying any life I might have left...ruining my life, and that's fair???

doesn't apply to only Republicans, but applies to capitalists. And they're found in every state.

Bottom line is, Twitter's not going to kill the goose laying the golden egg. (Oops, there I go with another gold analogy!)

But they are in San Francisco, a liberal city, that made it a rule that only a few Fast Food Restaurants are allowed in the city, or that WALMART was not welcome here and in fact not allowed in the City Limits. A city that put a one-cent-per-ounce tax on soda (Measure HH) which passed with over 60% of the vote on 8 November 2016. The tax went into effect on 1 July 2017.
