It was through a Republican former congress critter, apparently with whom Trump had no contact.

Given Trump’s Art of the Deal seems to be attempting to financially bully someone into doing what he wants, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was actually a thing.

That's basically short hand for "We want power." Nobody that actually cares about what the president does to the rule of law and society wants another Trump. There has to be an entire class of democratic politician that's seen what Trump was able to get away with and is literally foaming at the mouth for the chance to do the same.

I love science. While Bloomberg and others have shown that there is indeed a kind of Democrat that is crap, on a statistical level, leftists are more willing to hold their own to account than the right wing is.

The ban? It was a mostly incoherent post. The coherent part? Transphobia.

Can we call bans "truncated posting rights" now?

Also: to the surprise of literally nobody, Trump learned nothing about restraint or respecting the office, instead he decided that nothing he can do will keep senators from rubber-stamping it, so we have only his incompetence preventing us from the rise of a full on strongman authoritarian state.

Yeah, I was 95% sure that's what was going on. It read very much like "asking for special treatment" meant "asking to be treated like everyone else."

At least it's consistently pleasant. I've also seen websites that allowed people to bully a nazi until they went away. It takes more time, but you get to view the illogic of their arguments more, and it's a more entertaining. 95% of the people there are assholes, but they're occasionally the fun kind.

I'd say he learned exactly what he would be held accountable for: nothing.

It is great to see a man so completely out of his depth... And that's saying something as the debate stage "pool" can usually be measured in inches rather than feet. But I guess that's true of Bloomberg as well.
