Over at the CCN, Gab is having trouble even getting its bitcoin on.
The declaration by free speech social network Gab that the firm was still allowed on Square’s bitcoin-friendly Cash App after being banned on other platforms may have been premature.
This emerged after the social media platform that is occasionally referred to as “alt-right Twitter,” over its popularity with extremist right-wingers, disclosed that the personal Square Cash account of the firm’s founder and CEO, Andrew Torba, had been deactivated.
Things like this are just bad for business.
Earlier this month as CCN reported, Gab had posted a tweet that gave the impression that Square’s Cash App — which allows users to buy and sell bitcoin — had reactivated Gab’s access. According to Breaker magazine, Square might have unknowingly reactivated an account belonging to Gab but will continue to “pro-actively delete any new accounts that it learned were connected with Gab.”
[...] Besides Square, other platforms that have banned Gab in the recent past include cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, online payment processing firm Stripe, bitcoin payment service provider BitPay and online payments system PayPal.
Currently, bitcoin, as well as money orders and checks sent to its post office address, are the only ways for Gab to process payments for its premium service, GabPro. On January 8, Gab announced that it had integrated with open-source crypto payment processor BTCPay Server.

LOL, Trump gets elected and you lose your mind. That says a lot of really bad things about you. Let's completely ignore the fact that the President can't unilaterally do very many things, eh? He can't declare war, he can't pass laws, and he can't even re-negotiate treaties without the two houses of Congress involved. This is the sort of idiocy you get when you're infected with social justice cancer.

Yep. I'm horrified by the fact that a majority of americans chose freely, willingly, and knowingly a well-established compulsive liar, narcissist, psychopath, con-man, sexual predator and child molester as their freaking president, and I'm the one who's lost his mind.
If that says a lot of really bad things about me, I can't imagine what it must say about you Trump voters. Is that what you're all about ? Is that the message that you're trying to send to rest of the world ?
"Here in America, land of the free, home of the brave, try to be the most disgusting, abominable, horrible, mysoginistic, xenophobic, sociopathic, miserable sack of pus you can possibly be, and we'll reward you by electing you president ! Murica Yeah !"

How many of those allegations can you prove, and how many are "game of telephone" style repetition of bullshit you've been fed by your filter bubble based on a willfully and maliciously misinterpreted Access Hollywood tape from the 1990s? Stop being a fucking idiot sheep. I don't like Trump and didn't vote for Trump and I even voted straight-ticket Democrat in this last election because the Republicans had way too much control, but none of that was because of the appeal to emotion bullshit you just tried to pull. If anything, I wanted to vote for him just to spite dumb shit people who say dumb shit things like what I just read. You are the sort of sheep that hears someone is a -ist of some sort and blindly repeats it. Provide supporting citations for every single claim you just made or fuck off with your appeals to emotion, straw men, and red herrings. Furthermore, it's notable that you ignored most of what I wrote and only targeted Trump. Trump is all you can think about, eh? It seems Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing after all.

Blah blah blah. You're so pathetic.
That's so mature of you. Ready to put in danger your future, your children's future, your country, your planet, just for the odd chance of pissing off some liberals. Captain Ahab at its finest.
Oh shut up kid. Because that's obviously what you are, if not in age, clearly in mental age. I'm not repeating everything I heard someone else say, I've actually lived on Earth for more than five decades. And if you had too, you'd know full well what kind of trash Trump is, because you'd continuously heard about his antics throughout those years. The way he treats women around him, the way he treated the Miss Teen America pagent candidates, the fact that he doesn't pay his bills and drove numerous small businesses to bankrupcy because of that, the fact that he accumulated more than 1300 civil lawsuits in his carreer, the Trump University scam, etc, etc. I could go on and on, but I'm not going to do your research for you, pathetic lazy fuck.
As for your other points, it doesn't matter what real powers he has in the governement. What matters is that he's the democratically chosen president of the United States, that by electing him, americans declared to the world: "This is the man we want to speak on our behalf and to represent the american people to the rest of the world". In other words: "We want the world to think the american people are a bunch of classless, unsophisticated, uneducated, dishonest, lying, pussy-grabbing buffoons".
As for "citations", I'll leave you with this one:
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and I still wouldn't lose any voters".
Yeah, even the orange clown himself thinks his suppoters are just a bunch of stupid morons, and he told them to their faces. And they still voted for him, proving him right.

Trust me, I can do a lot. All by myself. Which, by the way, I'm by myself right now. Almost by myself -- the guy with the nuclear is in the hall. Waiting in the hall. And I'm wearing my pajamas.
I can't declare War. That's so true. But, it really doesn't matter. At all. Because I can start a War, very easily. And I'm not the type of guy that would start one. Not unless I have to. But, I could very very easily start one. And if somebody else starts one, I can send my great, and very brave soldiers to protect our Country. They're fighters. Like Crooked H. But unlike her, they're very good at it. I've seen the map of, they're fighting ISIS. Very successfully. Two years ago -- it's not even 2 years, can you believe it -- there was Red everywhere in the Middle East. All over the map. And now, just a few little spots. Like somebody was reading the map, he had a bloody nose. And if Canada or the European Union wants a fight, we're ready. Any time. Any place.
I love signing Laws, I've signed more in 2 years (not even) than other Presidents signed in their entire term. And more, in some instances, than they signed in 2, 3 or even 4 terms. And I've done so many Executive Orders. Muslim Ban, that was an Executive Order. Actually, more than one. Tariffs, I'm doing the Tariffs with Executive Orders. Very fast, I tell my people what I want the Tariffs on. The girl types it up, she hands me the Hard Copy. I put one of my beautiful signatures on it, and it's happening. Don't have to talk to Paul (remember him?). Don't have to talk to Mitch. Don't have to talk to Chuck & Nancy. I sign and it happens.
Treaties, we have some beauties. Very one-sided Treaties that were written to benefit other countries. My very corrupt predecessors. Or some of our other very crooked politicians. No more. I've canceled many horrible Treaties. TPP. The Iran Deal. INF, the nuclear with Russia. You should have heard Flaky Crybaby Mikhail Gorbachev when I canceled that one! The Paris Carbon Treaty. I call it a Treaty, it's not a Treaty. That one's an Obama number, Congress never looked at that one. And I'm going to cancel many more. And I can negotiate with anybody. All agree I have COMPLETE power to negotiate. I can't do the Ratify. Congress does the Ratify. But, they don't do it too much anymore. It's like declaring War. We've had so many Wars. And Obama, I think at one point he had 7 Wars going on. Possibly 9. With the drones and the everything else. And out of those, Congress declared ZERO. Same thing with Treaties. A lot of those, they make a deal. They don't do the Ratify. But the deal happens. And I'm making the BEST deals for America. Because I'm a fantastic negotiator. I'm not doing for myself. I'm doing it for America. For the American people. America First!!!
