There is this video out there of an altercation between a black female officer and rioters. Who knows what was happening, really, but in the video the officer ended up punching a woman in the face, bloodying her face, after she put her hands on her. Some other people nearby jumped in and it sort of dissolved after that. It hasn't been shown much outside of social media.

Anyway, the daughter of the woman that was punched has tipped the FBI off that it was her mother, as well as her Aunt and Uncle, that were there in the attack. She's posted screenshots of them from the video (along with family photos of herself with them), and so far, her Aunt has been arrested. Talk about a crazy situation.

Trying to remove Trump a week before his term ends is not exactly a Unite and Come Together move by the Democrats

He's a security risk, an unstable one at that with likely mental problems. Who knows what he'll attempt in his final days. Just look at what he incited on Wednesday, after all. Assuring that he can't seek office again is the reasoning here, one that Republicans can get behind.

And a number of Republicans are going to be for it as well. It'll be a bipartisan effort this time. Sasse is open to impeachment. And Murkowski has come out today asking for his resignation with some pretty firm words.

“I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” Murkowski said during a 17-minute interview from her small Capitol office, steps away from the Senate chambers that were invaded by pro-Trump rioters on Wednesday.

“I think he should leave. He said he’s not going to show up. He’s not going to appear at the at the inauguration. He hasn’t been focused on what is going on with COVID. He’s either been golfing or he’s been inside the Oval Office fuming and throwing every single person who has been loyal and faithful to him under the bus, starting with the vice president. He doesn’t want to stay there. He only wants to stay there for the title. He only wants to stay there for his ego. He needs to get out. He needs to do the good thing, but I don’t think he’s capable of doing a good thing,” she said.

What else does Trump need to do for his followers to believe that he does not have some grand scheme and he has indeed lost? Listening to these delusional comments makes me sad for their sanity, they just keep on moving the target every other day. Trump cannot accept it because he is a baby but you can. Accepting that Trump lost does not mean supporting other party just that there will be next time and other battles to win.

DT, DT jr & big Rudy about to sued and incarcerated.

Somewhere, Melania is crying to herself wondering why they ever left their golden penthouse of Trump Tower.

4 years too late but I’ll take it.

This is going to make him absolutely miserable.

Trump tiktok in 3,2,1...

He’s going to be in Parlor very soon I’d reckon

...Google and Apple suspended the app today until they put a moderation policy in place. I think this is probably from the capitol attack largely being talked about and organized on there. And not just talked about casually. Users were openly telling others to bring guns, get the firing squads ready, hang Mike Pence, etc.. I'm sure the FBI likely influenced this decision, too.

When looters and Antifa corrupted BLM, it was unfortunate that those that care about racial equity or police brutality refused to disavow looters and Antifa. But that doesn’t mean anyone who marched or politicians who supported BLM are in support of Antifa’s terrorism,

Anyone who is planning violent attacks on 1/17 as Twitter is claiming, I hope authorities catch them all beforehand and they are punished to the full extent of the law, I believe 99+% of Trump supporters feel the same way, including Trump himself.

That said, I believe that Trumps last two tweets is really about a big Trump-owned competitor to Twitter coming soon, as well as admitting he won’t have second term in 2021, because whoever will be president will need to be at the inauguration. Twitter is just twisting his words to suggest there is anything violent about what he’s saying is really a huge stretch.

You never know what classified secrets either recent or that were supposed to buried forever a vengeful Trump could declassify and reveal on Twitter. Part of the reason they're desperately trying to avoid the 12 days.

Half the US thinks the election was stolen or at least have questions... But big tech has decided they're all mentally unwell and following a conspiracy theory, and therefore is on a mass purging streak of conservative accounts, and I suspect Parler and thedonald.win even may get removed from the internet soon at this rate. Ok, but mentally well according to who? The other half of people? The people who think the election is stolen think the people who can't see it or aren't afraid of the totalitarian direction society is going are mentally unwell and under the spell of media propaganda. They think woke people are mentally unhinged. So who gets to decide which half of people is right and censor everyone else?

I guarantee you its not half but close to it maybe. Also its not like every supporter from both sides are with/against the decision. Its only about people who run these sites and possibly FBI.

Also this has been a long time request to remove Trump's stupid antics from social media but no one was questioning the same when it did not happen so its not fair when the axe hits the other side.

This is exactly like Trump if he wins the election was fare but if he loses election was rigged and stolen. Also NO ONE stopped his social media account because he lost or his pleas of rigged elections. Its the misuse of his power that lead to his account removal.

No matter what he says they are just twisting t against him as an excuse to ban him. If he said the exact opposite, “I will be going to the inauguration” they will claim he’s there to cause trouble and lay claim onto the presidency and encouraging his followers to follow him there to cause unrest. And imagine if he had told his 75 million suppporters that they no longer have a voice and will now be disrespected and treated unfairly, what do you think would be more inciting? It’s incredibly dishonesty to suggest there is any threat of violence from these tweets that are meant to placate.

I'm not as bothered by Trump's ban (Although banning the active president of the country isn't great) as I am the overall censorship. Popular right wing twitter accounts I follow are getting completely wiped out, these are not people advocating violence by any means, just people giving their opinions on things such as skepticism about covid data, voter fraud or ways Trump can win, you're not allowed to challenge the narrative. Parler being threatened by its hosters is ludicrous to me and would be a scary step where independent sites and communities can just get wiped off the internet. In general one of the reasons I post in this thread so much is that every other message board I've been on with liberals I have either been banned or neutered speaking my mind with warnings, conservative posts in a polite way are valued less in nearly every community than ad hominem attacks by "liberals" (I put that in quotes because the modern left who support censorship are not liberals, they are more like authoritarians). When attempts at dissecting each other's arguments are valued less than personally attacking them you have a messed up incentive system, and all you end up is communities where the only people left are the jerks and people afraid of disagreeing with them and getting banned. The same applies to twitter where it's obvious they would rather ban someone for polite conservative opinions than the people who attack others for their opinions instead of trying to respond to them.

Again the whole only happened AFTER the incident of Capitol and I do not think social media is actively removing opposing point of view posts its only the ones from Trump. Also other than banning Trump I do not think the freedom of speech have been taken away from people. The narrative was in favor of Trump when he won and now in front of Biden its just how it goes with social media, the contender won because people agree with that narrative more and that's why I believe social media is favoring it. The problem only remains because the opposition is hell bent on denying defeat.

That happened fast, but came a few years too late.

Because some of you are honestly confused by who Donald Trump is, allow me to try to summarize the man briefly. He was a failing businessman who struck it rich, if you will, with a hit reality show. Viewers flocked to it. Suddenly he was on the hottest show on TV and everyone loved the "You're fired" catchphrase. That died down, his popularity went with it. A few years later, he toys with politics. No honest intention of being president but getting his name back out there.

He ends up finding a group of people willing to believe his bullshit. The numbers are suddenly coming back again! So he starts saying what they want to hear. It works, goddamn it, it actually works! He starts gaining immense popularity. The more he says what they want to hear, the more they eat it up. He becomes president. For a guy who was going to continue being the laughing stock of the US, forever a late night punchline, he ends up ascending to the White House. And all because of his ever-angry fanbase. He realizes if he keeps saying what they want to hear, they will love him. LOVE HIM. Do anything for him. He has wanted that his whole life.

But... does he really believe the bullshit he says? Some will argue one way or the other. In my eyes, he only believes it because he knows that's what his fans want. It actually makes it worse than if he truly believed it.

The idea that he's some master planner, an expert chess player, is ludicrous. Nothing in this man's history suggests he's that smart. He simply said what a large group of people wanted to hear. He got extremely lucky in his bid for presidency. He was in the right place at the right time to capitalize on millions of disenfranchised voters. That didn't take expert skill and strategy. It took playing on their fears and emotions for his own personal gain. When he lost the election, that hit him harder than anything could. His only intention the last two months is to keep his name stronger than ever, his fanbase as angry as ever, his followers as loyal as ever, so they will follow him on his post-presidency venture.

More videos coming out showing far more violence than what was on the mainstream new

Depends what sourds you're getting from. I'm seeing a lot of videos showing the cops letting them in.

Both have happened honestly

FBI is investigating as an inside job, clearly someone are about to get in huge trouble.

Telling an elected official, hired and paid by regular citizens, to speak the truth or do not speak, is not wrong. It is not censorship.

Inciting violence will never, ever be tolerated. No doubt DT twitter account is still active if the mob riot never occurs.



No, just....no. Stop.
