Former Trump administration staffer Will Upton compared him to The Gimp from Pulp Fiction. Fun fact… @brianstelter is The Gimp from Pulp Fiction. https:///Yoxp3vDDQV — Will Upton (@wupton) June 6, 2021
That got Upton suspended by Twitter. He appealed and won, arguing that nothing in that violated Twitter’s terms of service.
LOL. This tweet got me temporarily suspended from Twitter… I appealed… and won. I simply pointed out that comparing a public figure to a fictional movie character does not violate their terms of service. https:///bruTlnCxx5 — Will Upton (@wupton) June 7, 2021

Violent threats policy
Overview

March 2019

You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.

Healthy conversation is only possible when people feel safe from abuse and don’t resort to using violent language. For this reason, we have a policy against threatening violence on Twitter. We define violent threats as statements of an intent to kill or inflict serious physical harm on a specific person or group of people.
What is in violation of this policy?

Under this policy, you can’t state an intention to inflict violence on a specific person or group of people. We define intent to include statements like “I will”, “I’m going to”, or “I plan to”, as well as conditional statements like “If you do X, I will”. Violations of this policy include, but are not limited to:

threatening to kill someone;
threatening to sexually assault someone;
threatening to seriously hurt someone and/or commit a other violent act that could lead to someone’s death or serious physical injury; and
asking for or offering a financial reward in exchange for inflicting violence on a specific person or group of people.

twitter does not censor you.

Say HCL or other drugs like Ivermectin works for covid and twitter suppresses you or outright bans you.
Say covid-19 was lab engineered and twitter would ban you.
Twitter is pushing a narrative. They will censor anyone going against their narrative.

Because ALL the people that had work for Trump always end up worse than before they started working for him. All his previous lawyers are either in jail or about to be prosecuted for crimes. His accountants and close aids are about to be prosecuted for crimes. Even his children that works for him are facing criminal charges. Most that that escape criminal charges can only get work at Foxnews after working for him.

Is that the person you want me to work for? Not for all the dollars in the world

Who can forget Ruby, Ralph, and Ruby’s daughter Wandrea Shaye?

After removing everyone from the State Farm Arena on 2020 Election night and sending them home, these three individuals and a couple of others pulled out ballots hidden under the table and began jamming them into the vote tabulation machines. The election workers were filmed shoving stacks of ballots through the machines two and three times each.

In early December The Gateway Pundit was first to identify the culprits. Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea were two of the individuals who pulled the hidden ballots out from under the table on Election night

I learnt a lot from your posts too but I will concede you are more tolerant than I am. Imagine our good friend basilico justifying criminality to support Trump. I know in Great Britain as a developed society, it's a crime to provide false details to obtain loans from Banks as it is in US because those funds deposited at those Banks are guaranteed by the Government in case they go out of business so that the account holders won't lose their money. Why should any legitimate businessman use a false pretense to obtain money from Banks that are federally insured. That's why the State will bring charges against the Fraudster known as Trump.

Basilico, you are an awful human being, really pathetic person if you think it's right to falsify real estate property documents, to engage your lawyers and auditors to lower prices of your condos and assets, then present them to a bank and say that's your real worth, when it's not. That is not right in any sense you low level man. Do you know how much work is put into trying to make up papers, legal documents, financial statements to reflect a false sense of what you are worth?
The motion of it all is just a criminal enterprise if you think about it. I can't believe i'm even writing a paragraph just to point it out to you that it's stupid, degrading, inhumane and a sin. Get lost please, you are just a miserable person.
You are an awful person. A loan is a loan and has to be paid back.
A bank has to do it's due diligence.
If a bank can lend you money enough to buy itself why not take the money and buy the bank.
Economics and money is not your forte.
To be real all you are doing is looking at Trump as a criminal potentially whereas other people do it all the time.

Don't mind Mr Arizona. He has no clue how things or business works in America. Trump is a Con Man and a Grifter and his Con game is coming home to Roost. Tell basilico the cultist that in America, you do not inflate your business worth to obtain a Bank loan and then depreciate your business worth when you file your taxes in order not to pay your fair taxes to IRS. These orange cultists just support anything Trump says without the use of their medulla.

Stop being naive and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Everytime you revalue an asset, the unrealised gains/losses go into Other Comprehensive Income on the P&L and Revaluation Reserve on the Balance Sheet. The OCI is not taxable until the point they are realised ie upon sale of the asset. That is the tax fraud element they must be investigating, as well as expensing of capital items to reduce tax liability. His treatment of the Revaluation Reserve can also be subjected to scrutiny under the Sarbanes Oxley act as some of his companies were publicly traded.

The fact authorities are looking into his revaluation of assets suggests there's a possibility that upon sale of those assets, he did not true-up their value in his books from previously declared valuation, which potentially feeds into tax fraud. He may have also funnelled the realised profits upon sale into expense items such as commissions to his other companies etc rather than increasing his profits.

I'm not sure on the law regarding declaring differing valuation to two separate entities but an asset only has one valuation which is the carrying value recorded on the Balance Sheet. You may reduce or increase the asset value as you please based on any acceptable valuation methodology, but giving differing valuations to different entities may constitute financial injury to the Insurance companies for example. This is where the Insurance fraud and banking fraud comes in. I think this is the more likely outcome rather than tax fraud as any accountant should be able to justify his valuations to tax authorities as they are based on the audited books. Reporting different valuations to Insurers and Bankers is where criminal problems may arise.
At least you admit they are looking for a felony or crime.witchunt

What your brains find difficult to process is that you cannot accuse anyone based on assumptions. You require hard evidence. That you are unable to present evidence of something is not proof of fraud or crime. Even if you are caught m in a room with a dead person, you cannot be guilty of murder without the murder weapon, motif and opportunity.
How come even before the result of the audit report comes out, you are already 100% sure of widespread fraud. From where did you get your evidence? Then if you guys are really concerned about election integrity in the future, should you guys not request forensic audit of the whole elections? Why only large counties in swing states that Trump lost? If there were fraud in all those counties as alleged, don't you then think the same fraud would have happened in all counties in the US?
I hear you. You need evidence.
How as an outsider do you get the evidence from the fraudsters who perpetrated the fraud?
Forensic audit. Why are dems fighting audits?

How can the root cause of people dying be investigated when the Republicans resist any form of investigation. They have been looking at Trump's tax returns since he was sworn in in 2016, since he has been hiding his tax returns. It did not start on January 6th.

A lot of us has been ejaculating over Trump's indictment to come. We have been saying it for years, that he cannot escape the southern district of New York once he losses immunity.
We all knew for decades that he ran a criminal organization in the guise of a property development company from New York.
If you ever done business, you should be aware of machinations we use.
If I want a loan I will overvalue my business.
If I want a tax break I will expense my business to lower my profits.Thats not tax evasion but tax avoidance which is legal. If I make a profit of N300k selling you cockroaches Ill buy solar panels that will eat into the profits, still an asset though, but hey Im going green.
Bottom line, I take a loan, expand my business and REPAY the loan.

F o r posterity's sake I am asserting once and for all that, there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 US elections. The only evidence of miniscule fraud that had been proven was perpetuated by Republican voters. Joe Biden won clear, fair and square with 81m votes.
Now if you have any evidence of fraud by Joe Biden or democrats in general, instead of assumptions, innuendos and conspiracy theories, present them for all to see.
Because you assert that there was no widespread fraud, And that's you by the way, should states like Arizona , Georgia Pennsylvania conduct a forensic audit. An audit checks whether protocols, rules and laws were followed, A forensic audit checks whether votes were counted OK, whether valid votes were correctly tabulated, whether votes were incorrectly credited to others, whether voters who were not in the rolls voted etc.
