tweet deletions... and a timed 12-hour suspension weren't enough to temper Trump's fueling of the insurrection; ultimately Twitter Safety acted to permanently suspend Trump's account (as did other 'social networks'):



the wascallyTrump then proceeded to try to get the message out through other accounts; of which some were either subject to tweet removals and access restrictions and/or ultimately permanent suspension - accounts inclusive of the official WH (@POTUS), Trump campaign (@TeamTrump) and the personal account of the digital director for the Trump campaign (@garycoby)

You would think that an individual who has the job where they deal with digital media would be smart enough to understand what a "twitter Ban" means. But there you go.

Trump only hires the best.

To paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, people will do what they do.

I agree confederate statues should be removed from public space.  The process to do so it's vandalism, it's to protest government so that they will take them down through legal orderly means and consent of the governed.  Rioting mobs are not good for democracy, safety, or society.  Nobody's level of outrage justifies vandalism.  It's the same for the rioting mobs who entered the Capital Building.

You would think people still working for Trump would be leery of indulging his fantasies. They run a risk of winding up in front of a judge with no one to pardon them.

So Dominion is suing Sidney Powell for 1.3 billion. That's a court case she should enjoy.

Capital police actually opened the door for protesters, and then stood aside as everyone walked in.

What reason would you have to police things differently, prescient foresight or regretful hindsight?

Parler, the pro-Trump 'alternative' social media site (since 2018) - regularly touted by advocates for its "free expression"... absence of censorship! Apparently, with recent days activities, consequences to its conservative and extremist devotees:

=> Google suspended the Parler app from the Google Play Store
=> Apple suspended the Parler app from the App Store
=> Amazon notified Parler that its AWS cloud hosting service would be terminated tomorrow (Sunday)

No surprise. Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

newly elected West Virginia Republican state legislator, Derrick Evans, resigns after the U.S. Department of Justice announced his being charged with, "one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds".



apparently, the guy live-streamed his actions; including shouting the following as he crossed the doorway threshold into the U.S. Capitol:

We’re in, we’re in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!

There was a recent comedy show on Netflix (something like 'Goodbye 2020') that made fun of claims like that.

They had a right-wing character claiming "conservatives are being silenced... as I told Tucker Carlson on his show... during two appearances.. when I was promoting my book 'conservatives are being silenced'."

Several cops participated in the insurrection.

2 Virginia police officers are on administrative leave after attending event at Capitol last Wednesday
From CNN's Chuck Johnston
Two Rocky Mount, Virginia, police officers are on administrative leave after attending an event in Washington, DC, last Wednesday, according to the Rocky Mount Police Department.

The two off-duty officers were present at an event in DC on Wednesday, a statement the department released on Sunday said.

“The Town of Rocky Mount fully supports all lawful expressions of freedom of speech and assembly by its employees but does not condone the unlawful acts that occurred that day. Based on the available information, the Police Department has notified federal authorities and the individuals that were present at the event are on administrative leave pending review.”
Rocky Mount is located about 25 miles south of Roanoke, Virginia.

On Friday night, the Seattle Police Department had placed at least two officers on administrative leave while officials investigate whether they took part in Wednesday's deadly riot at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, the department's chief, Adrian Diaz, said in a statement.
