    The nice thing is, everybody is carrying a phone nowadays. You can pinpoint everyone who was inside the Capitol building on the day. Retrieve their video, etc...

    Best believe the Pentagon is using enemy combatant distinction to lift any privileges they had to such privacy too. The United States will know where each of them ate breakfast.

    Right wingers might get further with this talking point if the rest of us hadn't been subject to the standards suddenly applying to them for years. I know of people who got banned for days at a time for calling Tomi Lahren a "bimbo" or posting screenshots of the threats *they themselves* were getting in DMs.

    Twitter already admitted they were struggling to figure out how to apply a moderation algorithm because so many Republican political figures break the rules so regularly they were afraid to look "biased" by applying them. Right wingers are used to getting away with working the ref being subject to fair treatment comes as a system shock.

    Just like everything else seems to be with them, their supposed issue with censorship amounts to being outraged the rules for everyone else might apply to them the same way after all.

    Pure, unaulterated bias. Do people like you actually read back what you've written?

    Does it sound realistic to you? "Everyone on the other team is bad and everything they say is bad" ergo by extension "everyone on my team is good and everything they do is good".

    It's so, so stupid. And it is this stupidity, cheerleading biased censorship, that does severe damage to society. Like throwing buckets of petrol on a fire to burn the neighbours house, while abjectly failing to recognise that they live next door.

    Unbelievable footage. The news channels really did not capture the scale on the level that this footage did. I have a small bit more sympathy for the cops now. They were absolutely overran. A massive policing failure.

    I'm inclined to agree. I wish we could have seen just how serious this was closer to the time, it would have pre empted a lot of the attempts to play it down and like you say I'd have been far more sympathetic to a lot of the individual officers for pulling back.

    That still leaves weird questions open about Capitol Police leadership open. Refusing support at that level put guys at this level in mortal danger - so why did they do it?

    Let's put it down to free'm of 'spression.

    Yeah it's an absolute must now that action is taken against Trump and those identified in the footage are locked up for a period.

    It is simply incredible there was not a far worse outcome when you hear the shouts.

    At 18 minutes in, after taking in the magnificence of one of the rotundas, our patriot says;

    "well, people might burn this down, it might be too late, I'm not gonna lie".

    Perfect ending to a museum tour...

    For those who try to excuse the President in his role in what happened on Wednesday.

    It should be unconscionable to GOP leaders to allow him to see out his term after this. Anyone arguing for it is aware of their own role in this event and are giving tacit agreement that it can happen again in future.

    Speaking of bearskin guy, I would be real interested to know what that big block tattoo in the shape of Thor's hammer is covering.

    The far right have a hard on for nordic symbols for some reason

    Yeah, the cop is having a great time, they really protected him well. Good to see police being injured doesn't disturb you.

    Im wondering how long it might take the QAnon crowd to claim that the police officer getting crushed in that video was really a 'crisis actor' in the Antifa led plot?

    Whaddyamean censorship?

    Wake up. He is the president of the US. He has plenty of platforms. The press is aching to know how he "feels" right about now. G'wan.

    The reality is every member of congress and the VP could have been killed and the building burned to the ground. Sounds far fetched you would think?? Well I think I've heard all of the above desires be spouted from the mouths of the mob.

    Unthinkable situation.

    Absolutely turgid nonsense.

    The guy literally has a press room in his house and a press office to help communicate any message he wishes to be heard.

    Tell us why you think he is doing neither right now.

    Sure they already disavowed the woman that died trying a suicide run through the window, despite years of her pushing Q conspiracies. Imagine giving your life for a cult and within hours they say you were the enemy.

    Rudy believes that MAGA supporters are too weak/fat/dumb to be able to climb a wall. To be fair, this guy probably shouldn't have attempted it

    They'll also claim that the officer who was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher just had an unfortunate accident.

    So its no big deal if twitter just ban Biden too, right?

    He has plenty of other platforms after all.

    Unless you want to change your argument to "he broke the rules", in which case why haven't umpteen other influential users of twitter been banned too?

    How backed up into the corner do you need to be before you accept the reality that this is selective and therefore biased?

    She ain't wrong, the GOP need to stand up WITH the Dems that's how things become unifying, but they're terrified of don, they know he can do them damage and are in fear of the terror in can unlease on them.

    I think it's something to do with white ethnic purity. Interesting thing is that a lot of those Trump rioters were very sallow - probably Italian, Greek and Spanish influence in their genes.

    Really can't see Biden tweeting anything that would lead to a ban.

    The only bias from Twitter was not banning him sooner. He was inviting violence, as he has been for some time. Twitter are partially responsible by not sticking to their own rules and banning him ages ago. And that goes for anyone else on their platform they allow to violate the rules.

    Yeah Biden should be banned for all that violence and insurrection he incited......oh.

    The attempts at equivocating and both-sidesing are utterly pathetic.

    Yeah but the hammer usually has a load of swirly line work in it. He just has a big blocky silhouette, I guarantee you it's a coverup.

    The argument of the other two users doesn't even mention the "why's", just simply that there's plenty of choice and it's no big deal if he can't use twitter.

    Republicans are a minority party with a gerrymandered presence. That’s why they invited the tea party back under their tent. That’s why they invited Trump. Because they don’t have the numbers to challenge the Democratic Party otherwise.

    Stand up with the Democrats? Hell no they won’t. Their party would be in the minority for the next 20 years if they actually stood for their conservative principles.
