    The political parties media, voters no one is without blame. How America ended up with a vote between Trump and Hilary, or with Biden... it is a huge indictment of the political process. The likes of Tulsi Gabbard could have been far better president than Biden... but Biden won.. so there ya go.
    A 3rd political party could be useful, but the US and it's people are in a beucoup difficile place right now, hard to see a way out. I'm sure the healing will begin any minute now... but first to get revenge on the Trump supporters for the previous 4 years of living under literally Hitler. :pac:

    Enforcing rules and laws =/= revenge. I have no idea why you would think otherwise however a certain sect of society seems to think they don't apply to them and are finding out otherwise now.

    I did a bit of research into those. Apparently they were filmed before Trump's speech.

    Before/after, it's irrelevant.

    He still got up on stage and incited the mob to march on the capitol.

    Republicans are faced with a difficult choice.

    They can promote a Trump-esque character (more refined, less obnoxious, less openly narcissistic) and chase the 70+ million votes Trump got. 4 years from now, without Trump as the bogeyman, that might be enough to win, but they'll alienate centrists all the way.

    Or they can move away from that kind of politics and try to go back to more traditional Republicanism, which would appeal to centrists. But then they need to be wary of Trump, a Trump family member, or just a Trump-esque independent potentially splitting their vote and handing victories to the Democrats.

    Gabbard is absolutely awful. Just a younger, female, far less charismatic version of Trump.

    Not surprising voters rejected her

    her anti-war stance is just heinous and affront to the sanctity of the industrial military complex and US dollar hegemony on world trade
    the absolute neck of her.

    The left and liberals cheering on Big Tech billionaires who now have the power to censor the sitting President of the United States.
    If Big Tech was right wing they would have censored Bernie Sanders.
    They are purging and deplatforming right wingers and conservatives from their platforms.
    Do liberals and left wingers not understand they will also be commanded to conform with the narrative or join their enemies in the outer darkness?

    This will lead to:
    Trump setting up his one news channel (something people always thought would happen), taking his supporters with him.
    Trump setting up his own social network, taking his supporters with him.
    Trump setting up his own financial services company, taking his supporters with him.

    It could lead Trump to become a hundred billionaire.

    Police have announced that a pickup truck with guns and bombs has been found nearby

    WASHINGTON — An Alabama man allegedly parked a pickup truck packed with 11 homemade bombs, an assault rifle and a handgun just two blocks form the United States Capitol Building, according to federal prosecutors.

    Trump is going to prison I imagine.

    I imagine one of his competent lawyers has explained his exposure.

    It's one the of reasons for his lunacy of trying to remain President.

    There will also be huge pressure for the next DOJ to setup a wide spread criminal investigation into the insurrection.

    There are consequences to inciting an insurrection, inciting violence. Left or right you should be removed from any platform for doing so.

    The Ayatollah of Iran still has a twitter account?

    Islamic hate preachers still have twitter accounts?

    Black Lives Matter terrorist who burned looted and murdered all summer last year still have twitter accounts?

    With that said...Imagine how stupid you have to get as a leader to get banned

    Trump starting a financial services company sounds like the funniest disaster ever. Him doing either of the other two would amount to a niche market. I also can't see anyone sane trusting him with their money. Also imagine he might not even legally be able to start such a company given his fiscal issues and regulations around finance.

    Trump fans have a lot of fantasies.

    P.O.T.U.S. ( Trump ,currently) has access to T.V. and Print media anytime he requests. They will show up. Unfortunately (for Trump), they may also be enititled to ask questions.

    Trump has more access to media in this world, compared to any other human being on this planet.

    It is not the kind of access he wants.Honest access.

    Hyperbole. It's difficult to take you seriously. You should know this.

    I honestly love people who use Orwellian when in all likelihood, if Orwell were alive he would not care about a leader being banned on social media. He lambasted writers like HG Wells back in the day for not taking fascism seriously as a danger to the global system. It's fair to assume he would have despised Trump and his ilk, you'd most likely be calling him woke.

    Can you please name the leaders of these two groups.
    Firstly the liberals in one group and then the left wingers in another.
    I'm asking because I don't know who you are talking about.

    Please link to one example where Bernie Sanders has incited violence

    Mitch McConnell hasn't been suspended from Twitter and why do you think that is

    I'm pretty sure the venn diagram overlap between people labelling every event as being like 1984 and people who've actually read that book must be almost non existent.

    The part that is kinda like Orwell though is autocrats labelling the media as 'enemy of the people' while also claiming to know exactly what the truth is and that the people should listen to them alone.

    When the cities were being destroyed and all of the associated Murder and mayhem During summer Pelosi said she “didn’t understand why there wasn’t more”. She directly incited and encouraged the mayhem. As did CNN and a multitude of other political and media heads.

    I dont support or justify either side but it seems that People who do, like yourself, only see what they want to see

    Look those protests were largely peaceful you must understand.
    The 2 billion dollars worth of damage done, that was just collateral damage.
    Thousands of innocent people had their homes and business destroyed.
    Cities burned for weeks, innocent people were beaten up, people were killed.
    It was like something you'd see in a third world country.

    The irony of the whole BLM riots was that it was happening in mostly Democrat controlled cities and states yet somehow Trump was solely to blame for causing it.

    Trump used twitter to speak unfiltered and raw to the American people. If you wanted to see what Trump actually said you simply had to follow and read his Twitter.
    Previous Presidents depended solely on the press and TV and newspapers who selectively reported or edited what was said to fit their narrative.
    No Big Tech is doing this.

    Also, it seems to missed. BLM was a massive and global protest movement that was primarily peaceful. The insurrection was primarily violent terrorism and law breaking. It wasn't a matter of small elements in the insurrection, it was the entire basis for it.

    You okay? He destroyed his own political career. He violated the rules of social media platforms and they banned him. Everything is his own fault.

    If Trump goes onto another platform, I suspect many of those that support his removal from Twitter, will follow him on the new platform.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,822 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    I dunno what is stopping Trump setting up his own twitter style app. Trumpitter
    lol

    Never followed him on Twitter and realistically don't see myself either looking at gab/parler, let alone joining. I'd imagine that's true of most people...
