Trump gained 200,000 Twitter followers between Wednesday and Friday. It cannot be ignored the influence that his words on the platform were having.

How many were rubber necking?

Spare me if I think you don't give a toss about any of that. You are aggrieved now and full of righteous indignation because the demagogue masquerading as a leader has been found out in the most clinical manner.

So you DO give a toss...about things you weren't bothered to find out?

"But trump"

Very believable.

What is it about Chump's Twitter feed you find so important to disseminate?

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.

Yeah its strange that the best footage is only coming through now four days after the event and Id agee it would have been better had it surfaced sooner. My guess is that the news networks have been scraping sites like Parlar and Discord as most of it was filmed by the Trump rioters themselves. The main US news networks didnt seem to have cameras in there, in fact for about the first two days the best footage was by an English ITN reporter who seemed to get into the Capitol right there with the first wave of rioters who breached police lines at the front doors.

Are you really trying to blame trans people for all the right wing nazis around? Like that entire post is utterly ridiculous. Turns out some people in the world are just c**** and it is everyone else's job to point them out as they will always exist. And they will exist by whatever pronouns people call others.

It is like blaming economic issues for driving Trump's mob when they were all well able to afford to take a day off work, travel from all over the country, pay accommodation, wear all their Trump/military gear.

They are just mad that soon their asshole president won't be able to hurt people they don't like.

No, that's not what I wrote, that's what your brain wanted to read.

I remember after Trump won in 2016 that a favorite meme of his supporters was the pic of the woman screaming.

Lots of glee at telling people to get over it, you lost. Popular vote lost, who cares it the EC that's important, that's the system.

Now look at them. Staging attempted siege of the capital, crying because twitter banned someone, saying the system is broken and their feelings need to be taken into account.

Suddenly there is a big worry about 75m that voted for Trump. I can't recall if there was the same worry about the actual majority of voters in 2016 not getting what they wanted.

And free speech? How many times has Trump refused to answer a reporters question simply because the network they worked for? How many interviews has he given CNN, MSNBC? He tried to remove peoples press privileges.

There was a huge difference, Those complaining back in 2016 were just over emotional that their candidate lost and were being told it was the beginning of the third Reich which is obviously was not, More than half of America think the election was stolen from them and there has being no transparency into all the voting irregularities this time around and was told 'nothing to see here and any thing that was brought to court was thrown out before any evidence was allowed be shown. These irregularities should be investigated correctly, telling the public 'nothing to see' here is causing the American divide to grow even more.

Very sad to see the state of America going forward.

The mental problem for a lot of people is that they don't care about anything beyond the "front door" of the internet, especially when trump comprises the be-all, end-all of life.

Blindness, unwillful ignorance, purposeful bias...whatever, it's all bad news when you buy into hypocrisy. When trump is gone each of these lackwits will receive a million euro each....you'd fooking think by the way they go on

Yes, but your bleeding heart doesn't change the fact that a bunch of know-nothing yahoos invaded the Capitol because they were prompted by that great reality show host who claims to be maligned on every front.

You'd fecking think you were a bit confused. :eek:

If anyone is gonna miss trump's tweets, they haven't been scrubbed from the net, archived here..

They've also got an index of a load of pics/videos from Wednesday.

It's more problematic when a platform keeps him on it and he uses it to contribute further to the undermining of democratic institutions. He's free to do a press conference to entire nation if he wants.

Strange way of describing Nazis.


And I would say all of the above more likely contributes to why you are annoyed Donald Trump for being from twitter.... The fact that you seem to be enraged by that and seem to not care he egged on an insurrection from the platform. :rolleyes:

I seem to be "enraged".

"Nazis"

My point was and is that tech companies are a looming monster over society.

Now, I understand some people get literal orgasms from talking about trump, and would chop their own arms off to mildly annoy some billionaire bloke thousands of miles away they'll never meet, fixing the value of their life on some ethereal show of virtue to other anonymous weirdoes they'll never meet. It's very wholesome.

But it's not about him. At all.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Wow you have to genocidal to be a Neo Nazi. That's very strange logic.

I guess a shirt saying 6 million wasn't enough isn't genocidal, according to the zodiac killer?

More than half of America think the election was stolen? That's nonsense. Every 'irregularity' has been debunked. There really is nothing to see but as long as Nappy Mango tells his zealots that the election was stolen they're going to keep playing the victim card. Trump and his acolytes are the ones stoking division.

Absolute garbage to try to claim victimhood and excuse actions of the terrorists this week.

They believe the election was stolen from them because they have been consistently lied to about it, Trump was claiming even beforehand that if he lost it would only be by fraud. Trump campaign had ample opportunity to provide evidence in state cases but they didn't have anything significant enough that would overturn the results. Trump's team was lying to his supporters that there was evidence and then telling the truth in court, that they had no evidence - hence why they lost nearly 70 cases.

Despite all the failed cases they still wouldn't accept it so why would they suddenly accept it after another investigation? Again, Trump's core point from pre election was that he couldn't lose aside from fraud, you're naive to believe that was going to suddenly change (he had no issues with committing election crime himself by pressuring officials to 'find votes')

The fact that people believe lies doesn't mean they should be investigated, unless you're now calling for a 'flat-earth commission' and 'the earth was created 2000 years ago commission' - two things that a sizeable number of Americans believe.
