I knew he’d squeal like a little piggy but I never saw this coming.
Proper banana republic stuff and definitely going out with a bang.0 -
I planned an early night, but still watching the live feeds. When do the brits have a go at Spaffer?0

Trump let them in, essentially, but look at them.
They’re not organised.
Biden will be President.
A lot of this is in the hands of republicans - either they continue to ride the tiger or they get off.
I would reckon most will get off.1 -
I find it really amusing that these events were the straw that broke the camel's back from some republicans. I am not sure his latest ranting is the worst thing he has done in the last 4-5 years.0

It will be a right laugh when the police are round his gaff looking for the podium piece back. I would be worried about excessive force if I was him.rick_chasey said:

Perhaps. They are in pretty deep though. Most of them will try to save face. Somehow object to the results but not the result.rick_chasey said:

Sure fascists gonna fascist.
And plenty of yanks are.
In a FPTP system both parties can, if they want, shut that avenue down.0 -
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.3 -

Going to be an interesting night. This isn't going to be limited to DC is it?0

Extraordinary. Trump's actually celebrating the event, one in which a person died.

Well, they didn't last long... Twitter has removed both of those tweets by the President of the United States.

This is an exceptional bit of reporting...

Unfortunately the person shot in the capitol building died. It's a sorry state of affairs when the outgoing president has to sink supporting rioting and still refuses to concede the election.
From what I understand as well another person fell from the scaffolding bring prepared for the inauguration and is critically ill in hospital.
Pelosi's computer has been stolen from her office apparently to show the world the "truth", they are though forgetting the device will be heavily encrypted so it will be nigh on impossible for them to retrieve anything.
Thankfully the protesting seems to have died down as the police enforced the 6PM curfew but I would expect further incidents and repercussions as well as some strong questions being asked in the coming days as to why this was able to escalate to the level it has done.0 -

Well he was basically saying he supported the actions of the protesters/riotersrick_chasey said:So are the free speech lot upset Twitter and FB suspended Trump’s accounts?

If they kick him out now, Pence would pardon him, wouldn't he?0

Honest question, is it better to prosecute him or not?kingstongraham said:If they kick him out now, Pence would pardon him, wouldn't he?
In terms of giving the trump lot something to rally around afterwards? Having him as a martyr etc

And this, Richard, proves why you were so, so, so wrong in your previous post.rick_chasey said:
thank you providing.

Yes. Forgetting the free speech aspect, it's not going to do anything but cause more division. I think the main problem is that twitter (and other social media platforms) have too much power.rick_chasey said:So are the free speech lot upset Twitter and FB suspended Trump’s accounts?

Trump is an absolute disgrace, though. I wouldn't be surprised if he were removed at gunpoint from the White House.0

A second, quick time impeachment would do the trick.rick_chasey said:

That would stop him from ever standing again.
Use the 25th and remove him from office.

I suppose you could look at it the other way round and say that any president who is regularly getting tweets deleted and banned is not fit to be president.0

Double edge sword with that though.rick_chasey said:

prosecute him and he will be seen as a martyr fighting his supposed enemies of the Socialist Democrats and deep state.
Do nothing and be seen to be siding with him or viewed as weak.
Both likely result in violence in one form or another, its akin to playing pass the parcel with a live hand grenade, its going to go off in someone's lap eventually0 -
I mean, there is a public order case in this specific instance.nickice said:I suppose you could look at it the other way round and say that any president who is regularly getting tweets deleted and banned is not fit to be president.
A news team deciding not to share Trump's statements for fear of incitement would not be seen as censorship by most normal people.
I'm not sure either way tbh.0
