Trump announcement tomorrow isn’t about a new social media platform, it’s about lawsuits related to ones that kicked him off, according to a Trump aide.

Adding this although I greatly dislike Haberman.

First, what lawyers are doing this without knowing they'll ever get paid. Bunch of Federalist or Liberty idiots, pro bono.
Second, there are TOS long in place. He broke the rules.
Third, it's private property. They get to decide who gets to play in the playground.
Another empty threat by a demented loser.

Their platforms, their rules (that he agreed to when he first created his accounts).

As they are fond of saying, "If he had just complied..."

This is pretty weak.

he will never be allowed back on either …
Hopefully they’ll counter sue and bleed him dry

How the hell did such an insane creature ever make it as long as he has without being smacked down so hard he never crawled back ?

With lots of testimony by Trump, with constant fact-checking and stacking perjury charges leveled on live television.

Fat little paws on for his own legal defense here pretty soon. I’m pretty sure absolutely no one is quaking in their boots over this.
