Breaking: Facebook has suspended Trump for two years, until at least January 2023.

Facebook: When the suspension is eventually lifted, there will be a strict set of rapidly escalating sanctions that will be triggered if Mr. Trump commits further violations in future, up to and including permanent removal of his pages and accounts.

Next time I’m in the White House there will be no more dinners, at his request, with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. It will be all business!

Former President Donald Trump may have shut down his website after just 29 days, but he’s certainly not keeping quiet.

In his latest statement, Trump urges Pennsylvania state lawmakers to follow the path of officials in Arizona and conduct a “full Forensic Audit” of the 2020 election, and predicts that if they don’t, Pennsylvania lawmakers will lose their jobs.

“Great patriots led by State Senator Doug Mastriano, Senator Cris Dush, and State Representative Rob Kauffman went to Maricopa County, Arizona, to learn the best practices for conducting a full Forensic Audit of the 2020 General Election,” Trump said in his latest statement, sent via email. “Now the Pennsylvania Senate needs to act. Senate President Jake Corman needs to fulfill his promise to his constituents to conduct a full Forensic Audit. Senator Dave Argall, Chairman of the State Government Committee, has to authorize the subpoenas, if necessary. The people of Pennsylvania and America deserve to know the truth. If the Pennsylvania Senate leadership doesn’t act, there is no way they will ever get re-elected!”

Former President Donald Trump suggested he would consider running for a House seat in 2022 in a bid to become Speaker of the House and launch an impeachment investigation against President Joe Biden.

Trump commented on the idea during an interview broadcast by far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root on Friday afternoon. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon first touted the idea of Trump running for Congress to take over as Speaker of the House back in February. Root raised the idea with Trump directly during his interview.

"Why not, instead of waiting for 2024, and I'm hoping you'll run in 2024 but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress, a House seat in Florida. Win big. Lead us to a dramatic landslide victory. Take the House by 50 seats. And then you become the Speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden and start criminal investigations against Biden. You'll wipe him out for this last two years," Root said with excitement.

FL-21 is D+9, so yes. (But: redistricting, so who knows.)

There's already a declared Republican challenger for FL-21: Loomer.

(And, of course, there's no requirement that the Speaker of the House be a member of Congress.)

Also, I bet the thought of these rallies gives McConnell heartburn. At least I hope it does. The really bad kind.

Is there anyone left in the US with a venue that would rent it out without payment up front? Or a city that would provide police protection without payment up front?

I guess we'll soon see.

Remember all that 'Stop the Steal" fundraising he did? Where he raised a quarter of a billion dollars?

Its burning a hole in his pocket.
