Trump devotee Mike Lindell has been permanently banned from Twitter as of last night. He has repeatedly violated their rules about promoting lies about election fraud. He also attended and spoke at the January 6 rally that caused the insurrection riot at the Capitol.
One fewer idiot on Twitter. Let's see who gets banned next.
A few days after the insurrection that he inspired, Donald Trump was permanently banned by

I heard about this. He is a big businessman and should have kept his mouth shut.

I saw a story that said he was considering running for governor of Minnesota. Headline: “My Pillow Guy Latest Trump Acolyte Picking Up the Torch.”
What a terrible thing to be known as.
I know Americans’ math skills are atrocious, but what part of “80 million is a bigger number than 74 million” don’t these people understand?

@NJChicaa — right at this moment, I wouldn’t hitch my star to Trump’s wagon if I wanted a job sweeping the parking lot at McDonald’s.

It can be useful especially if you're interested in current affairs.
Quite often you'll hear about important events on Twitter before and traditional news media.
I've known about things like earthquakes hours before it hits the news.

Let me start by saying that I don't agree with the riots in any way, shape or form.
But I don't know that I agree with this. I kind of feel like its censorship. People are entitled to their opinion, even unpopular opinions. And you're right, who's going to get banned next and for what opinion? I don't use twitter, never have. But what if I did and my opinion was that Brand X toilet paper was the best. And what if the twitter gods decided that Brand Y was the best and anyone that talked about Brand X was banned?
I realize Mike was expressing his opinion about something way more important than toilet paper, but isn't he entitled to his opinion? I mean as long as calling for violence, destruction, or breaking laws, shouldn't an individual be able to say what's on their mind?
I know this probably isn't going to be a popular opinion, that's why they say opinions are like butts - everyone has one, some stink and others don't.

They have their rules and he repeatedly violated them. It is their right to terminate his account. I believe people are entitled to their opinions but if you break the rules then you deal with the consequences. He will be just fine on Parler and Gab.

@NJChicaa That I can agree with. I believe every business owner has the right to run their business the way they want. And to be honest with you I scrolled back up to reread the original post to see what he was banned for. So, my apologies for saying something inaccurate.
I hope I don't get banned for that.

I don't know why I keep seeing his commercials now (or maybe I only started taking notice of them 
). And he's offering discounts . .. hmmm, could his business be hurting? He's quite serious about involving himself with this whole thing 
, but I admit I just have to laugh - he's just the My Pillow guy 
. Good he got booted!

Chicaa, I have one question for you. Is the first ammendment of our Constitution something you REALLY want to get rid of? What if one day your views and opinions are restricted and your livelihood is destroyed because someone doesn't like what you say? Think about it.

My Pillow guy Mike Lindell has lied incessantly, for many years. He got wealthy, making false claims!
