Trump NOT banned from facebook - spending $100K per week on ads there

PAYWALL:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-fundraising/2021/10/29/5b5a2e64-31b1-11ec-a1e5-07223c50280a_story.html



Trump’s PAC is spending $100k a week on Facebook ads, circumventing his ban: “Facebook allows the ads because Trump is not posting them personally through his suspended account & the ads do not speak in Trump’s ‘voice,’ according to a company spokeswoman.”

Terrorism pumped to keep his crazed fans frothing at the mouth about FAKE "steal".. and ready to plot and Strike Again.

And the violence was so disturbing and it made me so angry that I had to take a break. Everyone who dismisses that violent riot - where people died and many more were brutalized and injured - as a "tourist visit" needs to watch that. It's just a miracle that members of Congress escaped with their lives. Capitol Police weren't so lucky... And TFG and his lies were responsible.

It's a good thing HBO has done that, though.

That day cannot get swept down the rabbit hole.

And, Zucker lets Psycho on FB to keep spreading his lies... you cannot make this shit up.

The Capitol Police did their best to stand up to the crowds, but they were vastly outnumbered and were brutalized by those who clearly said they were sent by TFG. And now he's allowed to continue his lies?? Those who were responsible for the violence, injuries and death of that day need to pay for their crimes - especially their "leader" who was ultimately responsible.

FB needs to go. I've never personally had either an account, nor have I ever felt compelled to post details about my life, boring as it is, online.

Imagine if everyone deleted their accounts.

have blow back for his part in Fascism for America.

My problem is my family is on the Mainland and they post photos of life events to stay in touch.. especially in the age of COVID AKA trump Virus.

The good news is they're all Dems!

who justify it by saying they get to see friends and family photos. When I want my friends and family to see photos I send them as an email attachment. The whole world doesn't need to see my personal life.

I'm with you. I just don't get it.

His “spokesperson” posted all his memo’s. Not really the same as himself posting but come on, he beat that ban.
