    Do you think Trump is proudly crass? Tacit approval of how he behaves is a very real issue...

    Read it again because you didn't read it correctly. Either that or you're deliberately misrepresenting it.

    That is most definitely not what this poster did.

    If you are interested in honest debate and discussion you will realise this and edit your post to remove the direct insinuation that they did.

    Trump's aide seems confident that Trump will be allowed back on a major social media platform. To be honest, unless it's Twitter, it's not going to be that big a deal. Twitter is absolutely perfect for Trump - the compactness, the immediacy, and the ubiquity gave him maximum saturation. He won't get that anywhere else.

    Twitter won't change their minds.

    It'll be Facebook/Instagram - And to be fair , Facebook in the US is already dominated by Right-wing talking heads as it is..

    I saw on Twitter that Tucker Carlson was absolutely furious on his show that Biden had called white republican men more dangerous than ISIS.

    Except Biden had actually said "Terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today -- not ISIS, not al-Qaida, white supremacists." He hadn't said white republican men were white supremacists, that was something Tucker Carlson himself implied.

    I hope you can see why your post made me think of this.

    That the Facebook and Instagram pages were back up. But think they were always there so nothing has changed, he still can't post there.

    I don't think Carlson cares, and what's more, I think he knows well what he's at. He's trying to stoke division by telling the moderate Republican voters that the current president has just called them a bigger threat than ISIS. Context and nuance are the enemy of infotainers who give their sermons nightly on the major American news networks.

    This is what the former Mayor of New York and later personal attorney of a sitting US President is now doing.

    It would only be more appropriate if it was actually snake oil he was hawking.

    Trump 'We'll hire the best people' BS artists, every last one of them.

    Stanford Law school almost got the 1st amendment wrong when it tried to stop a student from graduating over a satirical flyer they sent out ridiculing the insurrectionist behavior of Trump sycophant and Stanford alum, Josh Hawley.

    Hawley got an Arts Degree from them... :pac:

    I'd say that would be grounds for his removal.

    Yikes. Assuming this is true, it shows you just how terrifyingly close we came to becoming a tinpot dictatorship, the lengths Trump and DeJoy would have gone to to make sure they controlled the outcome of the election, whether Trump was that popular or not.

    Didn't those allegations surface prior to the election too?
    Amazed by the lack of effective oversight that only becomes apparent when the justice department weigh in.

    Think about all the people Trump shuffled around at the Justice Department. Either they purposefully weren't looking or they knew and ignored it.

    And he *still* lost lol

    Imagine how much he would have lost by without the assistance on the Ukraine, Fox, Twitter, Facebook, DeJoy etc etc.

    Hypocritical lickspittle suddenly becomes concerned with executive time.

    Line up Trump's schedule with Joe's.

    This performative outrage is pathetic

    I can hear it now. Strike me down if it happens. Tonight on his show Hannity will have someone on to begrudge this, and someone - someone will try and say 'well, golf really isn't the same thing because like well, your standing still so you can still sign papers etc.' - some really contrived bull****. They might still impress me, this is the Mustard on a Burger rager after all.

    I’d just be happy with seeing trump try to ride a bike.

    Would he hand over the $130,000 though?

    I heard that's what he normally pays for a ride...

    I can barely handle watching him golf though honestly.

    He doesn't strike me as one who relishes sunshine or the outdoors, really. Whack, into the cart, repeat, tan makeup, lunch and getting doted on in the lounge.

    For some time, I've said that Trump and his supporters are either delusional or disingenuous.

    Turns out 45 is the former.
