She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Who are we? Well, we're a group of snotty manlet wunderkind who spend all our time on the internet, have developed an entire worldview exclusively around hating women who don't want to gently caress us, and have no proven ability to deliver votes. Come join the movement.

Donald Trump is the Mighty No. 9 of political campaigns.

A more disastrous, plainly incompetent rollout I've not seen in years. If the RNCinCLE, or whatever the gently caress acronym salad it is, is supposed to show how great Trump is at managing even the basic theatrics of a campaign, it's hard to then extrapolate that to being competent enough to run the white house

Good news! He's going to hand over all governing responsibility to Mike Pence!

Dead Man’s Band
CLEVELAND — Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of Mr. Trump’s best-selling autobiography “The Art of the Deal,” said on Wednesday that he had received a cease-and-desist letter from Mr. Trump’s chief legal counsel over his blistering assessments of the candidate and their work together.

Mr. Schwartz said in an interview with MSNBC that the letter demanded that he forfeit all royalties he had earned from the book.

“It’s nuts and completely indicative of who he is,” Mr. Schwartz said. “There’s no basis of anything legal. I suspect that Donald Trump called up his chief legal officer and said, ‘Go after that guy and do whatever you have to do.’ ”

No. Twitter don't comment on individual suspensions or bannings and this isn't any different. The best you'll get is their vague official statement that refers to multiple accounts. Some speculation that the straw that broke the camels back was the circulation of doctored/fake tweets which is a big no-no, aside from the speculation that he was banned for being the world's leading gay conservative of course. Not so tangentially, If you haven't read it, Milo's column about banning trolls from social media is pretty amusing: http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/yiannopoulos/3359/the-internet-is-turning-us-all-into-sociopaths/

Ah, yeah, that's what I suspected. But I meant even aside from any official statement, was there anything that was clearly, flagrantly abuse as of late? His tweets always seemed pretty benign in comparison to how he was characterized.

Watching Newt on CBS. Other than Vilerat's mom, the worst thing I've seen in the past couple of nights was Newt extending the war on Terror to the entirety of Muslims that live in Muslim countries.

Who cares. Twitter is a free platform that he used for self-promotion. At least on SA you can say you spent ten dollars for the privilege. He got banned because gently caress him.

Twitter put out a statement that didn't name names but pointed out that one of the things that was over the line was people organizing harassment campaigns.

I think free speech is cool. Twitter isn't a government organization, but I'd hope they'd steel adhere to the same values that allowed them to thrive.
