Ruin My Week
Well, it finally happened. Twitter banned Donald Trump. Permnanently.
And to think it only took borderline treason, a direct attack on our government, and of course, the well-known analysis of Robert Pattinson’s dating life for @jack to lower the death knell.
What began in May 2009, and consisted of a 57,000 Tweet library of mostly incoherent nonsense, has officially come to an end.
Regardless of which side of the aisle you’re on, you’ve gotta be a little glad this carnival show is over. Or a lot glad. He did, after all, cause the deaths of supporters and first responders alike this week. If that doesn’t deserve a ban from a social media site, I don’t know what does.
Naturally, as Twitter does when anything happens, they had jokes. Here are some of the best memes and tweets since last night:
1. It’s the most logical first step.

2. If you think about it, it’s been coming since October 2012.

3. Let’s not lose sight of how major and how minor this actually is.
Let that be a lesson, if you send a mob to kill congress, 3 days later you could lose one of your social media handles

4. Turns out Barron’s wasn’t the first account he tried to Tweet from.

5. Doesn’t anyone have an account I can use?

6. Honestly, far fewer tiny hands jokes than you’d expect from Twitter.
7. It’s a big day for him.
8. TBH he just doesn’t have the dance moves for TikTok.
9. And people still want to give him another chance.
10. Oh no.
11. Finally.
12. Sneaky.
13. This may be the most ultimate burn of all time.

14. How’s he gonna calculate how not to pay taxes now?

16. Don’t worry, R-Pat, the rest of Twitter is still willing to weigh in on things they have no business talking about.
17. The Barron jokes were plentiful.
18. As the saying goes “There’s always OnlyFans”

21. Can’t tell if tonight’s winner or loser is Trump’s #1 troll Jeff Tiedrich.

22. Can’t help you, man.

23. It’s fun trying to imagine this actually happening.
there’s a non-zero chance that Twitter updated his account with a spoof app and that he doesn’t know he’s banned and keeps tweeting to no one
— Napcore Influencer (@SortaBad) January 9, 2021
24. “We got him.”

25. But hey, the didn’t do it on his last day, and that’s something?

27. And finally, a solid perspective for all of us.
Let’s be honest. The world would be a much better place if Twitter would just go ahead and ban everyone.
