    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene permanently suspended from Twitter after fifth strike.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Factual Grade 76% • 3 min read

    A spokesperson for Greene's office claims that a thread posted on Saturday about "Before Covid" and "After Covid" was what led to the suspension. In the thread, Greene goes into detail about how life changed after the coronavirus, including allegations that "people are considered criminals if they don’t wear masks." Twitter did not respond to requests to confirm if this thread did cause the suspension.
    ...
    While Greene's account was permanently suspended, her congressional account, @RepMTG, is still active. Greene responded to the suspension on her Telegram account, calling the social media company "an enemy to America" that "can’t handle the truth."
    ...
    On Jan. 17, 2021, Twitter suspended parts of Greene's account after the congresswoman blamed state leaders' unwillingness to "fix our elections" for Republicans losing both Senate seats in Georgia. Greene's most recent suspension occurred on Aug. 10, when she tweeted, "These vaccines are failing & do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks."

Yes - Yes, of course they should, but they should also be automatically recused from any cases that could be associated with their financials or the financials of close relatives. They should also be prosecuted for insider trading if they are in a position to know about something (either through their own docket or from other judges/lawyers, then follow through with an associated trade (either personally or through a third party)).


No - No federal judges, nor anyone in or working in Congress, or at a high level in the executive branch should be allowed to own...
