The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.
Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.
"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

It's almost like you are cheering on the next civil war. You do realize that there are limits to what people will put up with? With Americans engrossed in moronic bullshit like Facefook, I certainly can't say what the limits are, but you are flirting with those limits.
The ACA for instance. It doesn't work. The government is subsidizing each and every insurance policy purchased. And, the subsidies are going to run out - at which point, damned near no one will be able to pay the premiums. Yet - gubbermint was determined to punish any uninsured persons for being uninsured.
How many people do you think could have been prosecuted, without some violence taking place?
Maybe you would like to explain that to your freindly FBI and/or Secret Service agent? Try THINKING about what you say, and post. That looks like a veiled call for an assassination to me.
But, of course, if you were THINKIING, you would understand just how evil Hillary is, and how much bullshit the party throws at you. Almost all of the shit that you get worked up about, is just stupid red herrings, meant to keep you occupied, while government gets on with the serious business of governing.
How is the mass surveillance going, anyway? And, what was Hillary's position on that? How about the Democrat party's position? Oh yeah - they're in lockstep with the Republicans on that issue. Smoke and mirrors, to fool the chumps, but keep on building the infrastructure to watch the proles 24/7, 365.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Unless he suffers a stroke, Trump will finish his term. And, unless he's caught en flagrante with prepubescent children in his bed, he'll probably be re-elected. Your apoplexy won't change a thing - recent history suggests that the incumbent almost always wins, no matter how good or bad he might be.

Not exactly. Recent history shows that the incumbent always wins, *except* when the economy takes a dive during his re-election campaign (and it helps if it turns out he went back on a campaign promise to not raise taxes).
If the economy is doing badly in 2020, expect Trump to lose. If it's doing OK, expect him to win, unless maybe the Democrats break with tradition and actually pick a likeable candidate.
