Trump gets Two Years Ban from Facebook. Why that is not Enough
Facebook announced today that Trump was banned from Facebook for two years from the January 6th insurrection to overturn the results of the election in his favor. He will be considered for reinstatement at that time if the danger for violence has subsided. That’s bullshit. Everyday since January 6 Trump has publicly made statements perpetuating The Big Lie, amplifying the lies from his surrogates and the entire Republican Party. The appropriate decision would have been to ban him for life from the platform because he’ll never change. Alternatively, I would be OK with the two years AFTER he repudiates his lie and stops telling it as well as all of his sycophants stop repeating the lie. Two years from THAT action would be appropriate.
I’m not holding my breath, though.
I can only imagine what’s it like, inside the vast empty echo chamber that is Trump’s head, with no outlet where he can spew & rid himself of the random vindictive thoughts that pop up from time to time. It’s gotta eat away at the guy.
Sure, more than a two year ban is warranted, but with his lack of patience a day can be an eternity.

He could always start another blog…
3Papa @3, Heheh, I’m sure that that you know the Rufous Ratbastard had just started his own blog [From the Desk of Pres. DJT *] a few effing weeks ago.
It lasted almost exactly Three Scaramuccis.
He [or his minions] killed the website deaddeaddead a couple of days ago, because the traffic count was so goddamn pitiful that the uberloser Ratbastard allegedly flew into a full meltdown rage.
* RR’s “Desk of” blog used to be a prominent part of these ‘official’ links below.
Now they’re mostly left with hard sell merchandise and donation pages, and of course fawning utter bullshit paeans to His Ratbastardness.
Have a look at the “Shop” link, endless pages of hats, tees, flags, koozies, mugs, etc., all emblazoned with ‘T-somthinsomthin’; at insane prices.
I wish somebody would leak the financial stats for this particular web-based grift op, I’ll bet the dinero numbers are waaay down the last few months.

Of course for pure mainlining insanity, there’s the evolved former [ thedonald.win ] I’ve linked y’all to many times, now known as:
Patriots.win
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/The_Donald#Patriots.win
Czech it out.
” TheDonald.win was among the platforms used to plan the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.[82] According to a January 16, 2021 report from the Wall Street Journal, Epik had threatened to take TheDonald.win offline over the forum failing to remove white supremacist, racist, and violent content. The Journal also reported that Jody Williams, TheDonald.win’s owner, had received multiple requests from the FBI for user information due to threatening posts, and that the FBI had been informed of several users who had made threatening posts on TheDonald.win, including one post from a user threatening to kill U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Williams had struggled to moderate the forum’s racist, antisemitic, and violent posts over the prior months, and some of TheDonald.win’s volunteer moderators had responded by thwarting Williams’s efforts to take down the violent and objectionable content on the forum. Williams and his family had also received daily death threats from the users he banned from the forum.[83]
On January 20, 2021, due to an internal power struggle over the TheDonald.win domain between the moderators and Williams, a new forum called Patriots.win was created and TheDonald.win was shut down by Williams on January 21. The moderators of Patriots.win responded by calling Williams a “sellout” who “betrayed the community … [of] hundreds of thousands of loyal patriots.” As of January 21, 2021, Epik was providing services to Patriots.win.[84][85] “

5We can all guess why two years is not enough.
6Can everyone say future summer klan rallies?
Anyone else notice that two years from now will let the Lumbering Garbage Scow start spewing all over the InnurTubes just in time for the 2024 elections? As the church lady would say, “How conveeenient”.
Three years ago there was an estimate that Trump’s twitter account was worth $1.5 billion to Twitter. In 2023 you can bet that it will be worth 2-5 times as much to Facebook. No way that Zuckie will walk away from that much money.
7Maybe his pea- sized brain will throttle itself into muteness or Lady Karma will intervene on behalf of democracy before 2023.
8When I was put in Twitter jail, my sentence didn’t begin until AFTER I had deleted the post which had been reported as “advocating self-harm” when I suggested that someone had “shot himself in the kneecap”. So by the same principal, ex-President Dipshit’s term in Facebook Coventry shouldn’t start until he confesses his lies. (No, I do not anticipate such an event.)
9Sandridge,
10I gotta ask, as a barely functionally literate computer understander, is there not a higher risk of exposure to malware or even unwanted solicitation from sites like that?
P.P. @10, “…a higher risk…”? Perhaps for some/most [don’t know if you mean the .win or djt or both].
There are many websites, often the salacious type, that do target their viewers with various forms of intrusions, malware and danger. But then so do most commercial websites and apps to some degree [if y’all really knew…].
Sure, one might ‘catch something’ from the worst websites, but I detected nothing serious at those ones I linked. Actually, on checking the .win&djt websites, both show only two ‘trackers’ and zero ‘ads’, which is effing amazing.
FYI, I use many defensive means to protect my devices and PCs, certainly far more than the average bear: AVs, firewalls, VPNs, scheduled AV scans, anti-malware progs, etc; the Comodo CIS suite being foremost.
11And perhaps the most useful and important, I primarily use the highly protective Opera and Vivaldi browsers [on PCs and smartphones etc], optioned to the max.
There’s a lot of stuff that people should do to protect themselves, but it takes constant effort. Just gave y’all a headstart/headsup above…
