Something is very wrong when Twitter can arbitrarily cancel someone's account; same with facebook. I refer to the cancelling of Trump's account. Even if offensive and inciteful, his account should not have been cancelled. That's a slippery slope (I hate that expression) that should not have been trodden.
What's next? Book burning? Such decisions are arbitrary and made by individual people, which is wrong. Apparently, facebook is also cancelling and censoring people. In fact, I have been given advisories by fb about posts I have made that apparently contain incorrect "facts". WTF?! Facebook has even added notes to some of my posts saying that they contain false information.
Wrong again.
As to impeachment, apparently one of its outcomes is that the impeached be barred from ever holding office again. This is wrong too. Fine, impeach a president, but he/she should be able to run again for whatever he/she wants and let the electors decide via the ballot box.
Trump will never again be a free man, so long the list of crimes and offenses he has committed. He will be tied up in litigation for the rest of his sad, narcissistic life. He will float away in a cloud of lawsuits and jail terms, but the system needs to be impartial and Twitter and fb need to stand down. Otherwise, where does it end?
