So he's been ban jumping today with multiple accounts with the "from the desk of donald j trump". They're repostings of his rants from his site
https://twitter.com/DeskofDJT/

FB says "no way for now" so trump tries to establish multiple Twitter accts.

Trump just referred to himself as the "President of the United States" on his deskof website.

Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States

Uh, I thought circumventing a ban or suspension by Twitter got you insta-banned...?

Bejeebus...

FORMER President of the United States doesn't understand what 'Free Speech' means. He was always unfit for the office if he doesn't understand the First Amendment.

It's possible that Trump isn't behind this, but considering FB's announcement and Trump's comments on his website, I think Trump is absolutely behind this.

[LM K]

Trump is absolutely behind the new Twitter accts.

Trump unveiled "From the Desk Of Donald J Trump" on Tues. Soon after, he started creating Twitter accts for his site.

I think Trump truly thought he could skirt around his ban.

Why Trump's new tech 'platform' is so hilariously underwhelming

In March, Jason Miller said Trump's new tech platform would "completely redefine the game." Two months later, that boast is kind of hilarious.

As Donald Trump settled into his semi-retirement phase, there was all kinds of speculation about what he might do next. Would he start a television network? Maybe form a new political party?

Much of the speculation focused on social media -- the former president had been forced from his beloved Twitter -- and Trump's interest in creating a rival platform of his own. In fact, the Associated Press reported in March that the Republican was planning to unveil his own social-media platform "in two or three months."

Jason Miller, a controversial spokesperson for Trump's 2020 campaign, told Fox News at the time that the former president was poised to "completely redefine the game" with his new tech initiative.

It was against this backdrop that Fox News ran this report yesterday on Team Trump's new tech rollout.

Former President Trump launched a communications platform on Tuesday, which will serve as "a place to speak freely and safely," and will eventually give him the ability to communicate directly with his followers, after months of being banned from sites like Twitter and Facebook. The platform, "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump" appears on www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk.

The same report added that the former president's project appears to be powered by Campaign Nucleus -- the "digital ecosystem made for efficiently managing political campaigns and organizations," created by Brad Parscale, Trump's former campaign manager.

For now, it's not clear how much Trump and his team paid for this "communications platform," though I'm awfully curious to find out just how big an investment this was -- because the project is hilariously underwhelming.

In fact, to describe this as a "communications platform" is itself generous to the point of comedy. What Team Trump has created is, for all intents and purposes, a rudimentary blog for the former president.

But after the hype about Trump getting ready to "completely redefine the game," it seemed that the former president would unveil something more impressive than a website the teenager who lives on your block could've thrown together in an afternoon.

Pro-Trump Pastor Mario Murillo Says God Wants Christians to 'Terrify National Democrat Leaders'
https://www.newsweek.com/pro-trump-past ... rs-1588681

Murillo urged followers to take "political and moral action" by terrifying Democrats and opposing the party's agenda.

"To organize, educate ourselves on how to terrify national Democrat leaders," he said. "How to win local elections and train our people to know why they believe what they believe and to believe it with conviction. This means that the pulpit must take on abortion, gay marriage, transgender indoctrination of our children and yes, racism."

The evangelical minister leaders Mario Murillo Ministries in Nevada, and has demonstrated a history of condemning President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. In recent months, he has insisted that former President Donald Trump is still the leader of America.

White evangelicals have been a crucial base for Trump and the Republican Party. Roughly 80 percent of the demographic voted for Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 election, according to exit polling. Since November 3, Murillo and other Christian pastors have pushed Trump's claim that widespread voter fraud caused his election defeat to Biden.

Lot of preachers like this. Newsweek & Right Wing Watch often report on them.

Brilliant! I hope some capable soul creates the Facebook/Twitter/Blog sites.

That's what I was kinda thinking, too. Sucks that social media sites are going to have to play wack-a-mole but I think they're used to it. His supporters probably don't realize they are only harming their savior's chances of ever getting his accounts restored. Oh well...

I'm failing to see a downside here....

Apparently the DFO is trying to tie a Windham, New Hampshire State Representative vote counting audit to his stolen election conspiracy.

“Donald J. Trump 9:48am May 6, 2021
Congratulations to the great Patriots of Windham, New Hampshire for their incredible fight to seek out the truth on the massive Election Fraud which took place in New Hampshire and the 2020 Presidential Election. The spirit for transparency and justice is being displayed all over the Country by media outlets which do not represent Fake News. People are watching in droves as these Patriots work tirelessly to reveal the real facts of the most tainted and corrupt Election in American history. Congratulations Windham—look forward to seeing the results.”

FORMER President of the United States doesn't understand what 'Free Speech' means.

It always amazes me how many people claim to support the first amendment, but then act diametrically opposed to it.

They say they don't want the government meddling in religion or "establishing" an official church, yet they insist that the public school teach their children tenets of the Christian faith, and lead the school in a Christian prayer

I always wondered how the prayer-in-school proponents would react to a proposal to allow prayer in school; on Monday, a Christian prayer; on Tuesday, a Hindu prayer; on Wednesday, a Wiccan prayer; on Thursday, a Muslim prayer; on Friday, a Jewish prayer.

They say they support freedom of speech, yet tell others that they don't agree with to STFU.

Recently, we have been constantly reminded how little some people understand the first Amendment, when they accuse Facebook or Twitter of violating it by suspending or banning certain posts. The first Amendment only applies to government.

Mike Lindell was so incensed at being banned from Twitter that he is launching (ha ha ha) a new site, dedicated to completely free and unfettered speech. But, oh yeah, you can't swear and you can't disrepect Jesus. If he ever does manage to get it launched, you will probably get banned for disrespecting Donald Trump or arguing that the 2020 election was fair. But, other than that, hey, its completely free.

They confuse freedom with privilege.

Twitter Bans Trump’s ‘From the Desk’ Account Less Than 24 Hours After Launch
By Cassandra Fairbanks
Published May 6, 2021 at 12:30pm

Twitter has banned an account for former President Donald Trump’s new website less than one day after it was created.
The account was for Trump’s website that is functioning, essentially, as his own personal Twitter feed.

The website and accompanying Twitter account launched on Tuesday and the social media platform banned it by Wednesday night.

A link on the suspension notice points to the rules about ban evasion.

“You can’t circumvent a Twitter suspension by operating, or having someone else operate on your behalf, an account which represents your identity, persona, brand or business persona for a different purpose,” the rules state.

The next Twitter step is going to be dealing with his crafty idea of having a "post to Twitter" button on his blog posts. From what I'm hearing, accounts doing that will be BANED. Should be fun to watch.
