Trump v Biden 2020,The insurrection (pt 6) Read OP

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.

More than half of Germany thought Adolf was doing a smashing job as Supreme Chancellor, too, all the while waging war.

Argumentum ad populum.

This was all investigated correctly. Nobody said "nothing to see here," there were 60+ court cases, dozens of hearings & at every level of government the appeals were considered.

Very sad to see the state of America going forward.

Crystal clarity here, it's quite satisfying really

And equally, NOT banning a load of other nutters for the exact same reason will help bring about misfortune to countless people.

What's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

Plenty of people should be banned, around the world, but can you give examples of American democratic politician that should be banned due to their posts.

More than half? G’way out of that. You’re making stuff up again.

There is a good reason why the US networks didn't have cameras there, Trump has made it too unsafe for them via his rhetoric, a lot of it coming via Twitter.

Look at the abuse and violence these media received from the mob. I remember the pages and pages of pearl clutching from certain posters when certain idiotic elements of BLM protests shouted at people eating out. Of course they are nowhere to be found now.

oh yeah, without doubt there is no way the main networks were sending reporters in there with that mob. Even Fox News staff would not have been safe in there. Later in the evening all the CNN reporters had taken off the CNN branding on their microphones as they reported from among the Trump mob.

Much of the original footage seems to be have taken by freelance journalists who presumably sold their footage to the networks asap. But this video of a cop being almost crushed in the doors that only surfaced today is likely taken by a Trump supporter who uploaded it to Parler or Discord which is why we are only seeing it now four days after the event. It would have been better had it come out immediately, maybe more Republicans would have condemned the riots sooner if it did.

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.

Its kind of mad to think that the National Archives in the US are obliged to create a Presidential Library for all past presidents where all their public documents, speeches and presumably now Tweets are displayed for the public. Everything Trump has tweeted will have to be displayed somehow in this library, people can go there and read about him tweeting about sh1thole countries or RIGGED ELECTION, SUPREME COURT! or LIBERATE Michigan!. Id say in time it will become like some sort of macabre tourist attraction.

Incredible how all the Republicans are suddenly very interested in unity and just moving on from the fact that President inciting a mob to storm the Capitol.

May I just say. It's been a fantastic week.

With all the bad covid news. This trump stuff has been delightful. Really uplifting.

And I'm cutting through all of this outrage with a virtual knife it's delicious. Theres so much it's hard to eat it in one go. But I'm savouring it in small bites.


What a week. Toasted a whiskey to it last night too. Pure joy .

Hopefully Biden puts the icing on this cake and tells every law enforcement agency to after Trump and anyone else who helped him.

After that put in proper protections around voting. It can't be left to GOP meddling again for 2022.

Like how does someone who's in charge of voting registration also put themselves forward in a governer race . That's beyond bizarre in a democratic society. Where's the basic ethics.

Oh this just gets better and better.

From Day One at the Trump White House, up has been down, yes has been no, failure has been success. Sean Spicer set the tone with the inauguration crowd size – the worst kind of whopper, as it demanded that people disbelieve their own eyes. The next day, Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer’s lie with a new term, “alternative facts.” Spicer’s successor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied at scale, from smearing those who accused Trump of sexual harassment to conjuring jobs statistics. Her successor, Stephanie Grisham, over the course of a year, never even held a press conference, though the BS continued unabated across friendly outlets. And finally, Kayleigh McEnany, Harvard Law graduate, a propaganda prodigy at 32 who makes smiling falsehood an art form

Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. We’re going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we’d approach a Trump tweet. Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away.

this standard needs to apply to liars from either party. It’s just a realization that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Our national reset starts there.

Incredible how all the media, politicians and corporations are suddenly all tweeting "LAW AND ORDER" when the mobs aren't BLM/Antifa. Suddenly its domestic terrorism, not peaceful protest. It highlights how fake and controlled the BLM/Antifa movement is. This scared them, BLM/Antifa never did.

Honestly, 2021 clearly beat 2020 when those photos of US politicians cowering came out. It was good to see the same cowards who voted down sending out a measly $2,000 to Americans harmed by COVID lockdowns were terrified when unarmed and non-violent Americans came to visit them to protest. A government should be afraid of its people.

What do people think of Apple and Google deciding that yesterday was the day to finally remove the Parler app from their storefront?


I mean, they were perfectly happy to host it there for quite some time so i'm curious as to what the catalyst for its sudden removal was.

I assumed Apple Google Facebook and Twitter agreed together in some way.

If Twitter and Facebook banned Trump it would have promoted Parler.
