With what? Parler or whatever the hell it's called?

 

If he has no platform that the masses actually use then what?

 

He has hundreds of millions of dollars (and counting) that he has fundraised for his leadership Pac.  He will eventually get his twitter account back.  That's all he needs.

I’m unapologetically conservative, at least fiscally, but these people are fucking crazy. They are a real threat and should be taken very seriously. I’ve heard about Qanon for a while now but I’ve nev

The police need to start firing tear gas and rubber bullets like they used on peaceful protesters over the summer.

He only needs to speak to his mass.  C'mon man.  Trump is Trump and he will have a platform.

 

I know plenty of loonies that used to post of Twitter/FB that have moved on to these other places.

If he incites violence as a regular schmuck you think Twitter just won't delete his account? That was my point

They can do it, the number of days mentioned in the Constitution is 21 days, more than enough time before Trump could retake control. 

 

They won't though - I think this was more of a shot across the bough to get Trump under control for a few days. 

 

All depends on Pence.  He has to initiate.  Cabinet members have to vote and confirm.  So I'm deeply skeptical.  But Pence has already cast his lot with traditional republicans rather than Trump. (that is the choice republicans face.)  So it's possible Pence might do it.

Facebook just announced that they will block Trump from posting for the rest of his term

 

He can indirectly communicate any way he wishes via his son's accounts on twitter and FB.

Fuck that dumbass bitch who got killed. Should have been much more, it's fucking sad that our government was overrun and it took that long to fire some shots at the terrorists

 

They smashed windows and stormed the capitol with violence.  Most should have been shot on the spot, and the police who did nothing should be charged as accessories.

If they were inside the capital building, then they breeched security.  That's not a capital offense, although @OILERMAN probably disagrees.

Written almost 40 years ago by Neil Peart, this song resonates well after yesterday.  Woulda been cooler though, to match the song, if the mob moved in at night. :P  

 

Witch Hunt, from the album Moving Pictures...

 

 

The night is black
Without a moon
The air is thick and still

 

The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill

 

Features distorted in the flickering light
The faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best

 

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will

 

Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat, and burn, and kill

 

They say there are strangers, who threaten us
In our immigrants and infidels


They say there is strangeness, too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves


That those who know what’s best for us –
Must rise and save us from ourselves

 

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger
Slow to understand

 

Ignorance and prejudice
And fear

Walk hand in hand

I said this as a joke yesterday. I should have known better...

 

Years ago, I quickly went from thinking Trump was the problem to thinking his supporters were, now I have shifted to our system (education or media or something) being the problem.  His supporters are clearly nuts but there are so many of them, there has to be something systemically wrong.
