Don Jr. Temporarily Muzzled On Twitter For Peddling Bogus Trump-Friendly COVID-19 Claims

Fitting, considering he’s permanently puzzled.

Oh dear, Jr. is in a timeout. Grab the smelling salts.

The patriotic thing for Twitter to do is to delete any account affiliated withTrump. I get the feeling (or hope) that once Joe Biden is sworn in, Twitter will be bringing the banhammer down on all things Trump.

I believe Mary Trump. The entire clan is highly dysfunctional, devoid of shame or manners or ethics or goodness.

Looks that way.

We thank you, dear Lord, for showing us your mercy by making this loudmouth jackoff shut the hell up for even a short while. He’s been showing up in YouTube ads, looming over you and yammering about some stupid crap who even knows.

I share Susan Collins’ unexpressed concern for this spread of life-threatening malinformation.

Garsh. 12 whole hours in Twitter jail for the Doltish Dauphin.

CENSORSHIP! 1ST AMENDMENT! STRICT CONSTITUTIONALIST! CANCEL-CULTURE! ARGLE-BARGLE-ZOMBY WOOF!

Not surprising at all

The whining is going to be epic when he gets to Tweet again. It will never occur to him that he shouldn’t spread false and dangerous information.

Don Jr is not the sharpest pencil but he know exactly what he’s doing. He’s just not good at doing it.

Lame. They heard Twitter was banning this video so he sent the tweet to get suspended and manufacture the false grievance whining.

He should teach us all a lesson and leave Twitter permanently for a platform that will allow him to spew whatever he wants to say. Please. Teach us a lesson.

While these actions by Twitter are laudable, they’re about five years too late to the game. At minimum.

Any punishment that doesn’t include shoving his phone up his tailpipe is insufficient for me.

That, and also insulated by wealth. Life will generally smack you down with this kind of behavior, unless you’re born into money, like this family was.

He’ll be banned just long enough to fund-raise off the “insult”. Then he’ll be back on to “own” the libs with the news…

Remember when presidential offspring were boring civically minded folks? Now we have these grifters. But for folks who built a political brand on hatred of foreigners and immigrants they sure like to take medical advice and do business with some really bad ones. Ivanka’s Chinese patents. Don Jr. making business trips to India and supporting a Hindu nationalist party on the public dime. Now he’s pushing quackery from a Nigerian doctor.
Eric’s overseas business dealings as well being banned from running a charity in New York State.
