    I'm not up to speed on this but did Trump actually call on his supporters to attack the Capitol building?

    Nah they're hidden, he's required to delete on his side.. I have a feeling they may permanently suspend him as all the other platforms are. He's bad pr for them at this stage.
    He is also a huge draw, that's their dilemma.

    Can't remember who made the point, but it is an astonishing indictment of Trump's competence that just taking his social media away makes him effectively mute.

    He did not use the specific words, but he absolutely did....

    Yes, but that was only after she caught wind of his plans. The point is the plannied escape, not whether he could pull it off.

    Anyone banned for the BLM riots that had been going on for months ....

    Who knows, it is possible as people get banned, but you wouldn't have heard about it as they didn't try an insurrection to overthrow the government so it didn't make the news.

    America was heading down the tubes before Trump got to power. Trump just polarised both sides and hastened the descent down the tubes.

    They can do it in hours. It’s a privileged constitutional power. The Senate doesn’t even need to debate they could just vote. The same way the senate fast tracked their debates on some of the objections last night. Just “here are the articles let’s vote.”

    Highly unlikely that you'd get the numbers to agree to do all that in the space of hours. Need a 2/3rds majority in the Senate to convict.

    Didn't matter.

    Do the right thing.

    Impeach him again.

    Make him the only president to be impeached twice.

    Sooner at later someone will come along with the same outlook as Trump but with a degree of intelligence and become president. That's what Americans should really be worried about.

    I can't figure out why he hasn't posted from the @POTUS account today.
    I said the same last night and someone said that they have probably taken his phone off him in the White House.

    Maybe, or maybe someone has convinced him that he could be facing jail if he continues. His reported comment that he will step down peacefully on Jan 20th today, if it did indeed come from him, is in stark contrast to his 'never surrender' from yesterday.

    We will hear exactly what has gone on eventually. With the way people are running from him, we will see tabloid type reveals of the past 24 hours and I expect they will paint a crumbling individual as the reality has sunk in and those who supported him abandoned him.

    I hope the current travel restrictions prevent him from hiding it out in Doonbeg.

    This too shall pass.

    It hasn't happened so far. Trumps outlook was entirely selfish. He was motivated to run because of jealousy over Obama winning and the adulation he received and so much of his decisions in his office were geared towards benefitting business and the economy which would in turn benefit his own pocket.

    The last 2 months, and specifically yesterday though I think will ultimately galvanise the US against pandering to celebrity experts with no proven track record in elected office as they did here.

    The 74M who voted for Trump are a big market share which the likes of Cruz and others are trying to appeal to but I think we are more likely to see a split in the Republican party than we are to see 74M vote fore another Trump type person in the next 20 years.

    Just to touch on this. The Valknut is not a white supremacist symbol. It was Odins mark in Viking mythology, and I have it tattooed on me too.

    American white supremacists have Co opted Norse mythology and attempted to make it a racist thing, it really really isn't.

    I've a swastika tattooed on my forehead. It's originally an Indian good luck symbol.

    But people keep giving me weird stares nonetheless.

    That may or may not be true....whatever down the tubes means...

    It doesn't have anything to do with my claim about him, the person, being an extremely dangerous person....

    they have probably taken his phone off him in the White House.

    I wish they'd take the nuclear codes off him.

    Down the tubes = going to sh1t.

    I don't disagree with you. My point was that it isn't all Trump's fault. Most of the problems happening now have been building since long before Trump decided to enter politics.

    For this case no there would be debate. In theory however if the abuse of power was naked and blatant enough, a congress could swiftly move to impeach and convict a president. Too many Republicans are still hiding behind Antifa conspiracies and “well he did say the word peaceful so everything else hes said about violence is irrelevant”

    There's isn't a hope in hell he could launch a nuke right now.
