They're all bloody insane.
How come Rudy is still allowed on Twitter but Powell and Wood aren't?
Give it a day or two.
What is scary is who is going to come after this. I still maintain that if it was any other than Hillary Clinton he would have lost. I hope the Republicans can find someone moderate as their next contestant.
Giuliani's decline has been astonishing. One of the architects behind the Mafia's decline and then a respected NY mayor.
Makes you wonder if he was always this delusional or became delusional as he aged.

If they manage to unite around Romney they have a real shot, moderates don't mind him.
The greatest part of them buying into the “Covid is a hoax” propaganda, in my opinion.
If they’d been masked they might have gotten away with it
One of the lessons to take from all this is that people should engage with conspiracy theorists on a more serious footing rather than simply viewing them as a nuisance. Because these people are actually batshit crazy and dangerous.
The prevalence of the buy-in to this nonsense is exactly why people should be annoyed when the likes of Alex Jones are given mainstream exposure. It has infected public discourse.

Good thing there isn't a US embassy in Washington DC to organise all right wing loons.
I hope that the officer who was murdered would be given the Congressional Gold Medal. He deserves it more than the one Trump gave to Rush limbaugh.
Don't need to when they had the White House to do it this time.
The kindergarten version of what they do to other countries. Can't be done without an embassy.
How did they refer to the BLM?
Shame Shame Shame. Only positive from all this is that some people who still supported him finally realized what a complete dingbat he is. Instead of being revered as a patriot who loved his country he'll be remembered as one of our most undeserving president. He'll be a stain in our history books. He's hated and pitied and lost the respect he didn't deserve in the first place from some of his people. It's scary to even think that this is who was in charge of America. All of the political leaders who thought he was fit to be president should have to answer as well. Anyone with a brain could have seen this was a mistake from the start. It's a miracle we're still surviving and the outcome wasn't more tragic. He needs to be removed ASAP.
Haha. Jesus I didn't think of that. Not gonna lie, I'd probably watch that.

I suppose it's going to be a pretty fine line in some cases between making unfounded claims (about election fraud and so forth) and actually inciting illicit behavior.
But, yeah - I wouldn't be surprised to see Rudy banned too.
Do you watch KSI by any chance?
That's the thing I think that's not discussed enough. Getting Trump out of the picture, Biden in place, and a Dems majority across the board doesn't make these people go away. They're still there, and while their motivations (underlying motivations; not the surface-level conspiracy stuff) aren't being addressed, they will continue to recruit new people to their side.
(With 'addressed', I don't mean 'give them what they want', of course. I mean addressing the socioeconomic issues that led them to feel disconnected and disenfranchised in the first 0lacez causing their openness to this bullshit.)
I was wondering how he managed to take that outside, but I see they actually found it back somewhere in the building, so at least that part of the world makes sense again to me.
Bugger, I fell for it!
Mozilla says removing Trump isn't enough - wants to shield Internet from all 'bad actors' - as users from the left and right unite in concern

Who could have saw this coming? All hail our capitalist technocracy.
Twitter, Facebook, Reddit et al legitimately have more power over the culture than any elected official or political group.

Can't find the image online to post it, but I just saw this:
"What's the difference between Mordor and the Capitol?"
"One does not simply walk into Mordor."
"What's the difference between Mordor and the Capitol?"
"One does not simply walk into Mordor."
That is scary. Honestly I think removing or censoring is not a good idea.
No but that's just how all YouTubers soundDo you watch KSI by any chance?
What if it was removing or censoring ISIS? How would you feel then?

We can't say it's white supremacists alone because the guy behind a lot of this stuff is an African Arab.
But I guess it's booing of the opposition black players though you have your own black players.
I have to say that I am going to miss the antics of Trump. It was certainly very entertaining though scary. It was like watching a horror movie.
It is, should have been done earlier. Without SoMe Trump wouldn’t have won in 2016.
Trump is still the POTUS. He has not been convicted or let alone charged with terrorism let alone international terrorism or murder. Isis is on the un terrorism list.
That's why section 230 was problematic. It can be used for political purposes.
I should have been more clear. Banning him for ever is not a good idea is what I mean. Removing his posts by all means if it's against the rules. If he continues then ban him.
Not sure you're quoting the right post? Or am I missing the link of my post to white supremacists?
What about do, re, fa, la, or ti?
To be fair, he‘s broken Twitter’s terms many times already. If he was a normal person he would have been canned ages ago. He had it coming.
It has continued though
Sorry wrong quote.
He has done for years and even won an election doing it. He should have been removed a long time ago and the only reason it didn't happen is because he shielded himself behind the notion of free speech.
What are you on? He has done it repeatedly , how many more people need to die due to his words? They did it way to late. If he wants to address the people he can issue a press release like a normal president.
Instead of outright banning him from Twitter, they could of moderated his posts for pre-approval, would be a fair compromise and that way he doesn't become a martyr with the far right saying "free speech!!" Etc
You must be joking? Normal President? I don't think there is anything normal with Trump. But as another op said. Don't let them make him a martyr. He plays the victim. See how they prosecute me? See how they steal the election? Now it is going to be see how they shut down my freedom?
Prosecute him by all means for everything he has done and is doing but it's better not be give him any chance to play the victim.
Seriously? I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt since you are not here in the US, but the above is just insanity.
Donald Trump needing an excuse to play the victim? The asshole played the victim when he WON IN 2016!
His supporters hating SoMe platforms and thinking of him as a martyr? THEY feckING THINK HE IS SAVING THE WORLD FROM SATANIC CHILD RAPISTS
Twitter could give him a custom, gold plated phone to tweet from and he would still rage on them. There is no difference in him being banned when it comes to his "feelings". The difference now is that he can not rally his people in a mass way. If he wants to communicate to the masses he will need to do it the official way, through the WH coms department and all the checks and balances that come with it. It means that any communication is Official Gov't communication and can not be blown off as "Donald be Donald" like so many people have done for the last 5 years. The last thing this country needs right now is a mentally unstable narcist rage tweeting based on whatever lie Fox News/OAN/Newsmaxx is running at that given time.
