I told y'all last week - If it bleeds, you can kill it.

These two can frick themselves in the ears until their brains rattle.

Individually.

No cooperation.

Holy shite, did not think they were capable of doing that to two bastions of their party.

Either way, good for them. Those two guys are fricking losers.

I'm shocked.

Took them long enough but have to give credit where it's due.

There's little doubt that they were sacrificial lambs, but what's going to be totally missed by their adherents is the quickness with which @Jack has dismissed their temporary usefulness.

Mere pawns.

Is this only because if Trump’s recent tweets about facebook and twitter? Probably just to make themselves look fair.

Twitter definitely needs to curb the fake bot purchase deal more than anything. I would say that was more it than what they actually say, like the conservatives they are shutting down.

This type of thing is hurting advertisers trust in their platform.

Twitter has permanently banned prominent anti-Trump brothers Brian and Ed Krassenstein, alleging that two of the biggest stars of #Resistance Twitter had broken the site’s rules about operating fake accounts and purchasing fake interactions with their accounts.
Is this fancy wording for purchasing Russian twitter bots to react to them like they are important?

I continued reading the article....my bad, I see they did use bots. I would love to know how they illicitly promoted their accts. Were they Obama HRC bots/cons, and twitter only banned them when they knew they would be exposed?

They were caught using twitter for ponzi schemes

Rarely would Twitter respond. At least to most of the times I reported them. (Which I did promiscuously).

They were getting assistance from @Jack by boosting their responses to the top of DJT's tweets. They also had the miraculous luck of responding within seconds of Trump's tweets. That's physically and technologically impossible without assistance from Twitter itself.

It's been debated whether or not they were getting paid by MediaMatters/ShareBlue/Insert random Soros-funded propaganda entity to respond as quickly as they could to alerts they set for DJT's tweets. They were on a video saying they were getting paid, but then shook it off by saying of course they were joking...

I don't know about others, but when I would report them it would be for Using the Reply Function as Spam.

A number of times, when they would get particularly unhinged, I reported each of them for their tweets being dangerous because they were Contemplating Suicide or Self-Harm. When they asked for more information, I explained that "It was Her turn in 2016, and when their candidate lost convincingly, they literally can't even."

Another time, I told Twitter that I was worried for their safety because they might swallow their tongues as they convulsed in a TDS-induced seizure.

Quite telling that they would feel the need to say that.

Those 2 are the most insufferable counts on Twitter. Actually surprised Twitter banned them.

About fricking time.

I read the ridiculous bartender’s ridiculous twitter daily and it’s amazing those two can breathe with their head so far up her arse.

It appears that they've appealed their ban, per Will Sommer, propagandist at Daily Beast.

So what you’re saying is we learn everything Q says by normal means that are already public, he just repeats it.
