Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

Pretty sure he did that on purpose so he can tell the public how awful and disgusting he thinks Bluesky is in the future.

Yeah, I think it's another step after the recent push of how "BlueSky is dying" because they actively reject assholes, that was going on last week.

Nah. This seems a transparent attempt to gather political good will. The Nazis have whipped our ass with their social-media ground game. This is simply another tentacle.

Por que no los dos? There's no downside for him, either he can spread his hate there and win or he gets banned and screams and whines and wins

They used to avoid the Mainstream Media, preferring their own bought and paid for Conservative Propaganda Machine, but that changed during HiterPig's first term.

Suddenly, news outlets were excited to have MAGA Nazis come on their shows to spew lies and propaganda, with no challenge. They allowed the Traitors to use their airwaves to abuse the relationship that news orgs had built with their viewers. Viewers, trusting that relationship, often believed the lies, and gave MAGA undeserved credibility.

If they were going to let those jackals in their airwaves, the news media had the responsibility to use that opportunity to challenge the lies, and expose the MAGA Nazis for the traitors they are, but the media did nothing.

This isn't how you start for good will.
