Not to mention how long have people been pointing out that Trump and a lot of his fans were violating Twitter, Facebook, etc Terms of Service? The line in the sand, where they actually enforced their own rules was the attempted coup.

I wouldn't really complain if all politicians were required to remove their personal Twitter/social media accounts. As others have noted, these people have entire apparatuses explicitly dedicated to addressing the press and the public in the general, and their direct interaction with any kind of social media shouldn't even be necessary & serves to bypass/undermine the value of a free press to some degree.

The guy with the gun, knife and zip ties was identified by Twitter sleuths. Disturbing social media presence as you can imagine.

I thought someone had linked to it on here earlier today but I'm not finding anything now. I've tried Googling real quick and getting nothing either so maybe I'm just hallucinating. It's been a long week and I'm tired so I'm going with the "maybe I dreamed it up" SI

Which thread? I'm curious. Or was it the one I posted above and didn't take the right off ramp? And are you talking about guy #1 or guy #2? Guy #2 (the older guy) was identified pretty quickly. SI

All of the fears of silencing people leads to violence need to come with an explanation of why not silencing people ended with insurrection.

Yeah, just followed it again - a lot like the other thread that got guy #2 His Facebook has been deleted in the last hour but a lot of people kept the receipts and have reported him to the FBI. It's particularly cute that he was caught because all summer he was an asshole to other people and they remembered him
(note: I'm pretty sure the Tweet above typo'd his name or he was using a slightly different name on his since deleted Facebook account) SI

Yeah that was disturbing even for me having seen plenty of death and destruction in my military service frankly. I think it was that these people doing this were our neighbors, maybe a few were that crushed cops fellow officers or off duty army soldiers etc. So, this whole situation does need to be taken more serious than it is by leaders on all sides. We have allowed this country to grow into a place with millions of armed citizens and that are armed with military grade weapons. Other than the military with heavy duty weapons ( gunships, Stryker vehicles, light anti personnel vehicles etc) even the our militarized police are not a match for them if we have 15000 of these wackos show to the capital on the 17th for part two or inauguration. I would just call this Civil War 2 and get to doing the terrible thing of cleaning this trash up across the country. It won’t happen but at what cost I fear whether next week or twenty years from now. Last edited by Galaril : 01-08-2021 at 11:43 PM. |

FWIW the details emerging around zip-tie man #1 and #2 make it seems like both legitimately could have gotten those zip ties from abandoned capitol police equipment. Who knows what they would have done with them had the situation been any different in any number of ways, but it does appear like there's a chance they didn't arrive intending to take hostages with those exact handties, at least, for whatever tiny, tiny speck of solace that is worth?

Lauren Boebert on a rally: "... Elections we are gonna be loosing, unless we win the hearts and minds of our childre. This is the battle. Hitler was right about one thing: Whoever has the Youth has the future"
For a representative of a demonstrably right wing party with a large element of fascistic tendencies and an unhealthy obsession with learning the "right history" they sure like to go on a lot of diatribes of indoctrinated youth and how they need to prevent that (often by essentially proposing to indoctrinate them, but with the 'right' stuff). But their use of quotable figures couldn't be more ironic if they tried. Like, guys: Do make an effort, please ? Here's one: "Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world." - Vladimir Lenin.

Trump supporters confront and scream at Sen. Lindsey Graham
Yikes! Absolutely didn't see this coming. first Pence and now Graham. The cultists really want their blood I'd say they deserve it but no they don't deserve to be threatened like this. We really really really need to stop just letting this go and just arrest people like this for the criminals they are. Last edited by CrimsonFox : 01-09-2021 at 08:18 AM. |

They're transitioning...
From figthing to save an election to fighting to save our country Now those pushing back and shutting down their means to coordinate another attempt to overthrow the government are just one more reason we're turning that fast into Venezuela (not Russia of course). They need to really protect our stuff. Remember when the FBI said White Nationialist Malitias were our greatest threat and congress yawned?

Usually this would be a flippant answer but I'm 100% serious this time. If you quoted Lenin, you'd be quoting a commie or a socialist. So to her and her ilk, Hitler is more acceptable. To wit: She'd rather quote modern history's greatest monster because he's led bad in their eyes than this fake socialist brush they're trying to paint everyone else with. SI

It's just a recalibration. They went "whoops, just a little too far". So they're going to take one or two steps back, distance themselves from the specific event that was "too far", wait for everyone to forget how bad this was, and then keep spouting the same rhetoric. SI

First ten minutes of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh6oGqmdd5c It's Tucker Carlson parsing the events in Washington with the thesis that the elites in the Republican party despise the "proles" (i.e., the working class folks). For a party that has used combating Marxism as their battle cry for the last forever, it's fascinating to me that Carlson is turning the events at the Capitol and the aftermath into a Marxist narrative and fanning the flames of a class war. I'm just sort of...flabbergasted that this is the play. |

There’s so many possible plot twists coming up I just can’t believe it.
Until someone takes over at d Doj dod fbi etc they’ve got about 15 days of unfettered anger to let out Then the crackdown can begin on the revolutionaries that are crying that they’re the Patriots saving the country Pretty unbelievable that one side literally views their side as the saviors while the order side feels the exact same way.
