Need more of that. Call them on their bullshit.

Booker is like that coach giving it to his team at half time in the locker room because they are blowing the game.

I'd like to think I'll end up taking the high road here, so I'm staying off of social media for the most part.

See thought, this line of thought is a false equivalency. this isn't some bodega or foot locker (not that those businesses deserve to be looted), this is the fucking seat of our government WHILE THE HEADS OF SAID GOVERNMET are inside.

The two aren't even remotely close. IMO every Capitol police officer failed to do their duty when they didn't shoot every terrorist storming the building. These people deserve no quarter.

[sterlingice]

Everyone's waxing all poetic right now about the capitol, which seems a little shallow

Oh and ripping Ted Cruz a new one - everyone's loving doing that

Is it just my FB feed or are Banana Republic ads trending everywhere?

[JediKooter]

I think Ted likes it. After all, he had no problem with someone calling his wife ugly.

Thanks man.

STFU Hawley. Good luck preventing today’s images from your 2024 campaign.

[Drake]

Are you telling me Hawkey spit out all of that PR rhetoric over the last couple of weeks to make *that* point?

Or did he pull his punches in light of today's events?

Lin Wood permanently banned from Twitter. lol.

Kind of surprised it took so long (well not really). He has been calling for the murder of a ton of politicians and judges for the past few weeks.

[JPhillips]

Shocked(not really) that the social media ban hammer started swinging the day Dems took back the Senate.

[Thomkal]

And I betcha she won't get one cent from Donald Trump to help fight this: Sidney Powell sued by Dominion for 1.3 billion

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

[albionmoonlight]

There's got to be a lot of people who were expecting that last minute pardon who are starting to sweat now.

I think that the preemptive self-pardon and pardon for all of his family members are in the bag ("We did nothing wrong, but we need to protect ourselves from the Deep State.").

But depending on how things shake out, I could see him deciding that all of the other boot lickers failed him and do not deserve his mercy.

[GrantDawg]

What she says here is not wrong, but she holds the key to the solution.

And it is your responsibility Ainsley, and the rest of Right Wing media to help calm them down. It is your outrageous lies and rhetoric that has them scared. START TELLING THE TRUTH!!! It is totally on you. https://t.co/KaqS2oJN9p

Trump is back on Twitter...he doesn't care....

So he could convey the same message with different “nice” words.

[Atocep]

I find some sick satisfaction in seeing Trump supporters that have spent the last 4 years "making liberals cry again" and generally being asshats because their guy was in office now openly worrying about retribution in the job sector and in social circles.

[Ksyrup]

I saw an attorney for a Texas-based insurance agency already got canned. I also find a delicious irony in so many of these people railing against social media and then losing their jobs and likely getting criminally charged because they were so eager to post evidence on social media.

[JediKooter]

Seems like the swamp is finally starting to drain.

[Thomkal]

FBI found the guy who sat in Pelosi's chair and stole from her office and arrested him. They charged the WV state legislator who posted his video too

[JPhillips]

Jim Clyburn raised a good point. How did the rioters know to go to his second, unmarked office rather than his office that has his name? He wasn't at either by the time they arrived, but under normal circumstances would have been at the unmarked office.

They should ask some of those who work forces . . .

[albionmoonlight]

What they need to do is get the guys who were told where the office was to flip on the people who told them.

I don't really care if Joe Numbnutz from Oklahoma goes away for a long time. I want Joe to help us root the White Supremacists out of federal law enforcement.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about the lady that was trending on Twitter this morning. She's some flower shop owner in Texas who was livestreaming her felonies. I mean, she could be problematic, but I'd try to sweat out some more dangerous people first, if she knew some - break down the organization.

Apparently, some lady from Midland Texas who ran for mayor and even ran to local news about it:
Capitol riots reaction: the congressman, the rioter, and the mayor

This is the flower shop: https://twitter.com/beckysmidland (notice the responses to the old tweets there)

Tweet that was making the rounds this morning:

Twitter taking action against those using their feeds to primarily promote Q-conspiracies. Banning Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, 8kun's Ron Watkins amongst others

Can someone confessing to trespassing into a federal building and theft be considered hot?

Someone cynically pointed out that it's probably no coincidence that the social media companies started doing something yesterday after they realized the Dems would be in charge of the committees that oversaw them.

Yeah I definitely think that played a factor

Looks like no

After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.https://t.co/CBpE1I6j8Y

Hallelujah. Now start impeachment this weekend.

[RainMaker]

I feel like this will hit him harder than thing else in the past 4 years. The guy loved to tweet.

[JediKooter]

What's he going to do when he is taking a trump?

[bronconick]

Now he's going to be bored. That's moderately terrifying.

[rjolley]

Does anyone else feel like Trump's tweet that he's not going to the inauguration is more to let people know he's not going to be there and they can move forward with whatever?

[Jas_lov]

Yes, and if I were Biden I would just do the inauguration inside a secure location with the Chief Justice and very few people. Then take Biden to the White House and bring Harris separately. These traitors are capable of anything now.

First poll I've seen since the latest BS.

Seems he has lost some GOP base.

Majority of Americans want Trump removed immediately after ...

Jan 8 (Reuters) - Fifty-seven percent of Americans want Republican President Donald Trump to be immediately removed from office after he encouraged a protest this week that escalated into a deadly riot inside the U.S. Capitol, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Most of them were Democrats, however, with Republicans apparently much more supportive of Trump serving out the final days of his term, which ends on Jan. 20.

The national public opinion survey, conducted Thursday and Friday, also showed that seven out of 10 of those who voted for Trump in November opposed the action of the hardcore supporters who broke into the Capitol while lawmakers were meeting to certify the election victory of Democrat Joe Biden.

Nearly 70% of Americans surveyed also said they disapprove of Trump's actions in the run-up to Wednesday's assault. At a rally earlier in the day, Trump had exhorted thousands of his followers to march to the Capitol.

[tarcone]

He found the tipping point.

[sterlingice]

Just wait a week. They'll be back to screeching about big tech's unfair censorship and Pelosi's unfair/stupid impeachment. I'd like to be wrong, though.
