I’m sure we will know soon.

Your OP is literally titled “Twitter banned rush Limbaugh”

Yep, I posted it just like I heard it.
I also said very clearly in the opening post that he may have deleted his account.

There ya go. I put a question mark in the headline.

Total Purge happening at Historical proportions ☠️

That’s a big account to have deleted but truthfully I think it was going to be ending soon anyways.
His health is not good if I understand it correctly.

WTF!

The Digital Purge has begun.

Take note this is all going down very soon 6 months tops we
should be taking the reins of resistance right effing now. I hope
that's plain enough for everyone. It's now or population reduction.

WTF a military chopper just flew over the house?

You all now how a socialist take over begins. You want that here?
Keep typing. Time to organize something even if it's wrong.

I think a lot of people are shutting down their accounts there, his brother David posted that he's lost 4,000 followers and Kirstie Allie (sp) said she has lost 9,000 I think. Neither are controversial people but they are both conservatives. From the sounds of it they're not the only ones.

Limbaugh shut down his own account in solidarity with President Trump

I noticed that many of our Aussie members are all for censorship

Not all of us mate...they tend to get worse the further south you go.

I think that has already been tried. Trump organized a marketing campaign that sold his product to a ready market of alienated citizens. The product of course was himself.

a reply to: HalWesten

I am in full agreement with this tactic. Twitter has made a business decision calculating that this ban on Trump would not damage it's bottom line enough to do them serious financial harm. The more people that delete their accounts could prove that decision fatal to their enterprise. Or not. Time will tell.

Wouldn't it be great if Twitter didn't exists? Try leaving it and FB for 30 days.. then 40.. 300.. You'll be much better off. Imagine thinking for yourself for once. a reply to: Bluntone22

Twitter has announced they are shutting down any account that is used to publish QAnon and insurrection crap.

Way past time.

Fascism doesn't look good on you.

Incorrect. Australia actually has a very open free speech regime, but there are quite useful remedies for lies, defamation, and hate speech.

And just FYI, I am an American who just happens to live in Australia.

sad but not surprised, they gave up their guns,
Incorrect. People who need guns can get guns without much difficulty. Hunters hunt; farmers shoot foxes and scare away Cockatoos and put down horses with broken legs; sport shooters shoot targets - just like before the buy back. In fact, there are more guns in Australia now than before the buy back - but there are also zero mass shootings.

You really shouldn't let the NRA teach you about what is going on in other countries, they lie to you and they embezzle your dues.


their freedoms(lockdowns)
Incorrect. No freedoms were 'given up' - they were merely suspended (in Victoria only! - other states have not had the hard lockdown) for a few weeks while the virus spread was blocked. It worked and we (in Victoria) have zero community spread and the lock down has been completely lifted.

Victoria had a large 2nd wave and we dealt with it decisively, didn't allow it to break out into other states, and are now the envy of the other states. Victoria has the occasional outbreak from quarantine of returned overseas travelers, but they are now dealt with quickly and easily. The economy is open and bubbling along just fine. Wash your hands, wear a mask in inside public buildings (unless eating or drinking), and register your presence so you can be contacted for testing if a newly discovered case has been where you were at the same time.

None of that is giving up any freedoms - it is practicing good hygiene and protecting public health - and our hospitals are not overrun, we aren't dumping bodies in reefer trucks (or, as a nursing friend of mine (in the USA) was told, "Just leave the body in the bed and turn the AC on as cold as it will go, we'll deal with it in the morning") because the hospital morgues are already overflowing.

When I was growing up in America, public health was taken seriously, not used as a political toy to be used to rile up the us versus them contrarians. Speaking of giving up freedoms, have you ever even seen an iron lung? I have seen them, in use, with real people in them who would die with out them. Can you possibly imagine what it would be like to spend your life in one? Do you know why you haven't seen one (except maybe in old photos)? Because polio vaccines were developed and distributed FREE to everyone (OMG SOCIALISM!).


what are you guys willing to give up next?
Aussies love to travel overseas to engage with other people, places, and history. That has obviously been suspended for a while too, but in exchange Australians are discovering Australia more. Our rural economies are booming with home grown tourism. How's yours doing?

The real question here is one you should be asking yourself:

How many more people are you willing to let die before you figure out that staying home for a few weeks and wearing a mask when you do go out might have saved your mother's or father's or sister's or employer's lives? Who else are you willing to sacrifice on the alter of 'wearing a mask is against my freedumbs'?

The percentage of Covid 'long haulers' is not nailed down, but 10% seems to be in the ballpark - that means that already there are hundreds of thousands of people will be in the medical system for LIFE with lung, heart, kidney, and possibly brain damage (to varying degrees) due to Covid. How many more do you want to sacrifice because your right to spread the virus is more important than your responsibility to behave in a responsible manner and protect others?

Oh Trump will be fine. It's us commoners who have to worry. You know
front liners. People who might actually be able to defend themselves
and/or others. I'm sure if there's a list well, stuff you're unprepared for
unless I missed my guess.

All they are doing is erasing their opposition as they open the door to the Great Reset.

You're cheering on a global fascist hegemony being born.

You will not be one of the privileged.
