Good thing that they are crawling back under their rock.
January 6. should not be forgotten - the day Fascism showed its ugly face on live tv for the world to see how fragile democracy is and how we can never take it for granted. |

Had it not been for the Corona virus, Trump would have won the election in a landslide. 74 million people saw his handling of the pandemic and thought "oh he did fine, I will vote for him"..
See, that is scary. |

They report ideology and seek to polarize people to make larger profits. Facts are meaningless in the media on both sides. IMO what the left is doing now is very dangerous. They are punishing someone who currently believes the same thing as they believed 4 years ago...that the election was illigitimate. I may be old but didn't the Dems make a failed attempt to contest the election of Trump in 2016 and Bush in 2000 and now they are advocating throwing people out of Congress for doing the same thing?? Now that they have almost unchecked power...they are attempting to cancel the 1st amendment. They somehow believe that they know what the truth is and any opposing view should be canceled and anyone who disagrees with them should have their lives destroyed. It feels good right now but in the long run it will destroy their movement and possibly the country through Civil War. Virtually all Democracies end in this type of fashion. Fortunately...I am old enough to have experienced much in life and am retiring from 30+ years of govt. service soon. The current groundswell seeks to destroy the history of the greatest country in the world and replace it with a Utopian view of what they believe the world should be like. Very dangerous. Virtually every immigrant in the world wants to come to a country where half of it preaches it is a horrible...reprehensible place that must be fundamentally changed. I challenge anyone saying this to go spend 6 months in Afghanistan...Pakistan...Syria or Somalia and then tell us how bad of a place America is. But like I said at the beginning of this thread...Democracies fail from within not from outside and I believe unfortunately ours is beginning to fail. And the winners in this mess will be the biggest of companies...Amazon...Walmart...Facebook etc who will end up with monopolies in concert with a government run system. Good luck to all of us. We're going to need it.

Yep. And I hope this will be their down fall. I gave up FB years ago - and now I'm through with Twitter. So yeah, hope their stocks plummet and they go bankrupt.

I loathe Trump.
But banning him is NOT the way forward. It's okay to remove tweets/statuses if they incite to violence. This shows how bad it is that we have given Twitter/FB etc. the total power of our right to speak. These companies must be regulated. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Trump included.

I don't think banning Trump on all these platforms is the right thing to do. Some countries also ban nazis (Germany does for obvious reasons) - but nazism doesn't go away that way. In Denmark nazis can do whatever they want - march, propaganda whatever within the law - and we have around 100 nazis here (pop. 5,6 million) - Sweden next to us have tens of thousands of nazis and nazism is much much stronger. We laugh at the debate in Sweden where you can't critisize immigration policies..

When the coup attempt started Ivanka called the terrorists "Amercian Patriots"...and well, Trump did the same..it's on tape for god's sake... Sarah Palin and other republicans now say the terrorists were ANTIFA??!! This is just insane - but Trumpists choose to believe in the lies.

And it's safe to say that yesterday's coup attempt was a giant super spread event. Most of those rednecks weren't from DC but from around the country. |

@I_Need_A_Detox USA: 373,043 deaths World: 1,903,930 deaths US percentage of all deaths in the world: 20%
Inhabitants in the USA: 328,000,000 World: 7,9 billion US percentage of people in the world: 4% Those are horrible numbers. Criminal numbers for the idiot in charge, D.J.Trump.

Maybe a guy who doesn't have access to his Facebook/Twitter accounts shouldn't have access to the nuclear codes? |

@jimrockford22 Show mercy. He's part of the cult around Adolf Trumpler.
Btw - the cult is now saying it was ANTIFA who attacked the Capitol. https://twitter.com/ReesusP/status/1347228594829807616

Do not tell me Trump did not know what was going on yesterday during the Terrorist attack. Here he is watching it live. In the next video Junior literally encourages the rioters and claims as "Their Own" NOT Fascist ANTIFA
