Vib Rib posted:

Also good to see "increased racial divide" under the list of things that Trump is going to extinguish. Trump is nothing if not equality-minded and considerate of all races and peoples.

Well see, to Garrison, racial unrest is caused by minority getting uppity and thinking they're as good as white people. So the best way to stop it is to start persecuting minorities til they know not to speak out of turn in the presence of a white man.

They should ban Trump on Inauguration Day, preferably early, so he'd be steaming at the ceremony and his speech will be a whole pile of incomprehensible yelling. You know, more than the usual amount.

because it's a private company that has no obligation to be "fair" to any and all random racist clown sticks that happen to own fingers and/or assistants with fingers?

Of course Twitter can't figure out how to monetize something that now takes up 90% of the world's word cloud so I'm not counting on them being bright enough to know that.

I imagine its part of the white house comm office.

But I guess they could not hand it over and the most that Trump could do would be to make them lose their blue check. Of course, he'd also sue (because he always does) and they probably wouldn't want to fight in court over a damned Twitter handle.

Why not? It'd be great free positive advertising, and he'd eventually have to settle, because he always does.

That does make sense. There is probably a huge overlap in PUAs, GGers, and MAGAers neo-Nazis. GG is where I started taking notice since Breitbart and a bunch of other "main stream" far-right blogs got involved. The MRA community is one of the bestest festering turds on the Internet.
