I consider contributing a few bucks. Honestly, I'd love to see that effort succeed, though the chances are doubtful. Just imagine Trump's reaction if he's blocked.

Please take the money you're willing to donate to this woman and give it to a dying child on Go Fund Me.

Why would I want to see Trumpolini prevented from damaging himself and the GOP?

His actions Twitter motivate those opposed to him, incriminate himself, hurt the GOP, and demonstrate his unfitness for office.

Let's all give our money to this random individual so he can launch a takeover of a media company.

Can't believe that anyone thinks they could crowdsource enough money to flipping buy Twitter. Cmon brah....seriously?

[peter88]

Oh it's too funny. The guys behind the campaign do not think forward

As a disappointed owner of TWTR stock, I support this move. As someone who doesn't want to see international crises managed through something as unstable as Twitter by a madman like Trump, I support this move.

"Give me $1bn so I can buy x company."

An even better scam than Jill Stein's recount fundraiser.

Also, banning Trump and the subsequent chain reaction would probably knock $1bn off the enterprise value of Twitter.

[CMB222]

$1 billion seems like a high price to pay just to get the president off Twitter.

I wish I'd thought of this.

Seems counterproductive. Trump punches himself in the face everyday with his tweets.

I genuinely despise a lot of #Resistance douches.

I agree with all three of these comments.

Who is she?

Who is she?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame

She's the CIA agent who's identity was exposed in 2003 in a now mostly-forgotten Bush scandal. It's what got Scooter Libby in trouble, remember?

Now she's an author, huckster, and anti-semite.
