BREAKING: @Twitter & @jack have suspended @DonaldJTrumpJr for posting a viral video of medical doctors talking about Hydroxychloroquine.

Big Tech is the biggest threat to free expression in America today & they're continuing to engage in open election interference - full stop.

The message from Twitter says his account will stay up but he can only send direct messages and can't tweet, etc. for the next 12 hours.

Good!

[soothsayer]

1. I can still see his old stuff. Does it just mean he can't post?

[MineralMan]

5. Please read the entire message from Twitter.

It answers your question.

[soothsayer]

11. Oh you have to click on it to see it

I thought I could see it all ha

[AllaN01Bear]

25. more like go to your room young man.

[PunkinPi]

9. He basically got a Twitter time out, not a full suspension. nt

[soothsayer]

12. Thank you, 12 hours in the corner ha!

[TheBlackAdder]

2. Trump will rage tweet, "See, this is more Big Tech interference!"

[HotTeaBag]

4. Great point.

Probably exactly what he was hoping for.

[HotTeaBag]

3. Sr. did it too.

Twitter wouldn't have the balls to suspend him though.

6. Rudy G. was promoting the drug yesterday. I reported it but do not know what happened.

[crickets]

16. Is this all still about hydroxychloroquine?

Fox apparently has not let this go. I have a SIL who will not stop watching Fox and on a family call last week she was bleating on about hydroxychloroquine and how unfair it is people can't easily get it. I gently asked, "You've heard about how it was killing people, haven't you? People with heart problems were especially susceptible to poor outcomes." Oh, she went off. Not only would she not acknowledge it wasn't necessarily safe or effective, she got angry that I wasn't in line with her way of thinking.

When you stay away from politics, she is a warm, lovely, intelligent person. Fox has warped her thinking - she will parrot the list of talking points louder and louder until you leave off disagreements, not matter how minor or gently phrased. It's so frustrating and sad. That channel warps people's brains. It's killing people.

Now it seems when trump can't get his pet garbage on Fox or Sinclair, he'll send a lackey like Rudy or Jr. to post things over and over online. He spent millions of taxpayer dollars on that drug, hoping to score big. He wants his grift, even if more people have to die for it. I'm glad Twitter called Jr. on the BS, but it would be better for everybody if they just banned the lot of them.

20. i wish they'd just legalize the shit

let whoever wants to take it take it. Clean the fucking gene pool.

[riversedge]

21. thanks for your story. I wish your family well. Tough times.

[crickets]

23. You're very kind - sorry I unloaded on you. nt

[hatrack]

7. "This is a much watch!"? So, stupid, pathetic, AND can't spell . . .

You be you, Lonesome Little Chinless Puppy!!

[Proud liberal 80]

8. As much as these right wingers hate twitter

And pimp Parlar, they sure do like using Twitter....because they themselves know that twitter is mainstream and Parlar is an echo chamber.

[fleur-de-lisa]

10. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[calimary]

35. Yep!

[AleksS]

13. Great! Hopefully he throws a tantrum and gets a full ban!

Maybe takes the rest of the family with him?

[GusBob]

14. So?

Big deal? Not really if you think about it

[uponit7771]

15. Fuck you Twitter, you bastards enabled these horrible people...now Twitter wants them off their ship

[Traildogbob]

17. Two sets of rules

I was banned for like for calling Fox bimbo that cheered tear gassing refugees, on Thanksgiving, Tomi Lauren, a city lamp post appendage. 12hours for Jr? Yes, Fuck you Twitter. Best thing to happen to my life. Leave it behind, as cesspools of allowed bullshit. By some!

[George II]

18. From Rick Wilson, he sure has a way with words:

19. Foyled again!

n/t

[iluvtennis]

22. Too bad it's only for 12 hours. And for the tweeter to day Big Tech is engaging in election

interference - I call BS.

Medical experts and scientists have done research and issued conclusions that hydroxycholoroquine is not effective in any way for treatment of Covid.

[AllaN01Bear]

24. would love to see dad and son removed completly.

[Jetheels]

26. Only 12 hours? n/t

[dreamland]

27. The best way to shut him up and shut them down.

Twitter should've done it soon.

[Zambero]

28. The twit won't tweet

For a full 12 hours. When privileges are restored and dunce cap put aside (for now anyway), what could Jr possibly do for an encore?? The demon dream witchwatcher is a tough act to follow up with!

[onecent]

29. good!

[Roc2020]

30. Trump and his minions are

still pushing this fake news narrative about the virus. The virus cannot be faked out. It kills and destroys human beings. Hospitals are not fake. Ventilators are not fake. Dying isn't fake. Death is real. Very real. The BS does not affect the virus one ioda.

[jmowreader]

31. You know what is going to happen

Once they let Little Rotten Donny go outside to play again, he’s going to go on a yooge tirade about how Twitter is taking away conservatives’ freedom of speech.

[helpisontheway]

32. They need to do the same thing to his lying @ss daddy. Nt

[Cha]

34. I bet that was a big ol BLOW to his LYING FUCKING EGO .
