I don’t want to make light of a serious subject, but the news of Donald Trump being permanently banned from Twitter coincides with a move by Nancy Pelosi to secure the nuclear codes. Here’s a blurb from Bloomberg on that:

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the nation’s top military officer about preventing an “unhinged” President Donald Trump from initiating a nuclear strike. She said she was told that steps had been taken to prevent any illegal attack. The conversation underscored rising tensions in Washington over how to remove Trump after he goaded far-right supporters to march on the Capitol. Bipartisan pressure to invoke the 25th Amendment or in the alternative impeach Trump a second time is running up against time constraints and Republicans, who are divided over how to proceed. Pelosi, in a private call Friday, said articles of impeachment are being drafted should Vice President Mike Pence decline to move forward on removing Trump. As for President-elect Joe Biden, when asked about removing Trump from the White House, he said his inauguration in two weeks will be the fastest way. —Margaret Sutherlin

And here’s the story of bang bang Dorsey’s silver hammer came down on Donald’s head, bang bang Donald’s tweeting career has died and gone to bed.

Trump is going to seriously flip over this. Who knows, maybe his 88.7 million followers will put Parler on the map. Guess we’re gonna see. As it’s been put, “Sad!”

  1. There’s a move to take Parler out of app stores, if they don’t start moderating their content: lots of explicit calls for violence directed at people the RWNJs don’t like.

      • So you are a left wing Nazi who wants to violate the right of free speech? Get over yourself! Also, get your head out of your ass; it was ATIFA who stormed the capital and the police opened the gate. It’s all on many videos. But you libtards don’t care about the truth or the law do you?

        • I hope you are not anyone’s mother if you act like you talk, you obviously are in the wrong blog here, the majority of those here can think of much better ways to communicate and actually ARE intelligent, thinking people … we only saw a mob breaking up our precious Capitol in DC, pure terrorist actions that were criminal in every way …

        • Free Speech does NOT mean you can shout ‘FIRE!’ in a crowded room. It also does not mean that you can incite rebellion, violence or anything intendedtop cause bodily harm to others.

          Telling someone to go and comnmit a crime comes under both incitement and conspiracy to commit a crime – both of which are already illegal

          • Can’t tell the difference between private platforms like Twitter, and government, which is restricted by the First.

          • She probably pronounces it incorrectly – it’s anti-fa – not ‘aunt efa’

            I mean – how hard is it to pronounce’anti’ and follow that with another word (albeit abbreciated)

          • What do you expect from people who PROUDLY called themselves Tea BAGGERS until (sadly – I really enjoyed them making fools of themselves) someone clued them in on what the term actually means in popular culture? Ok, given the number of conservatives in the closet it stands to reason some of them actually WERE into tea bagging but you know what I mean. Although I suspect Ms. glad-she-wasn’t my mother still probably doesn’t get it.

        • My dear, it’s people like you that are so sad. You believe whatever lies you’re fed. If you want to show up on this site, it’s up to you, but if you show up again spewing this level of crackpottery, it will be your last time.

        • I’m curious. Are you WILLFULLY ignorant or do you come by it naturally. I can forgive the latter but if you work at being ignorant then it’s sad. You consider me a libtard of course, meaning you think I’m not merely stupid but retarded. Well, decades ago when I took my college boards I was 92nd percentile which since you probably don’t understand means I was in the TOP eight percent of people tested that year. My jerk of an aunt was pretty pissed when she found out after bragging about my cousin that was in the same class who was down in the low 80s. You probably assume I’m a wuss too. Once upon a time I was a better than average athlete, but in my mid-twenties I became a jarhead, and to be more specific a grunt. That tough enough for you? I was a liberal before those years, a liberal during them and a liberal after active duty and to this day. So why don’t you just go away and stick your head back up where the sun don’t shine until you can come up with intelligent criticism as some of my quite conservative friends were sometimes able do prior to immersing themselves in MAGA-land?

        • All freedoms come with responsibility. Your homework is to ponder what responsibilities accompany the freedom of speech. Here is a hint: the most beloved answer of your guys, no responsibility, is wrong. Go think about it before you make another similarly nonsense comment about free speech.

          By the way, you are not keeping up with your right-wing propaganda. They are now embracing the insurrection as something to be proud of, so they are not wanting to give Antifa the credit anymore. Besides, Antifa had nothi9ng to do with it. The social media of the people who have been arrested show they have been long-time fervent Trump supporters. Some of them were real Nazis.

          It is Trump supporters who have definitively demonstrated they do not care about truth or law.

        • You are so uninformed and a silly little girl , get off Fox News and start listening to the real news and you might learn something.

    • I think it should have been taken away before because he was way out of control. I think Dorsey was afraid of the blow back. Now, Trump’s out, he’s history, and Dorsey probably doesn’t care. But you do make a good point, now is really the time to ban him. A major line was crossed, but it had been danced on many many times before. We didn’t get here overnight.

      • The complicit Republicans are the ones we know their names because of the stupid performances on every level … one of the most obvious ones in the House, was once a wrestling coach and liked to prance around the meeting rooms, hard for him because his head was so huge, and the dirty gold tie and blue shirt was always the same, somehow forgetting to wear his sports jacket like a normal semi-formal congress person would as respect for their position ….

        They all seem to have at least one bony edifice in a closet somewhere, it was stink to the rails all the way these last four years, wasted time, few things done with McConnell/Trump the kissing cousins …

      • When Corporate America decides they REALLY don’t want you anymore because they can’t monetize your utterances profitably, you know it’s REALLY over.

      • I agree that trump and some others should have been banned a long time ago! Still, ROTFLMAO that Twitler can’t tweet anymore! What will he do at 3 am on the toilet now?

      • Are you sure it was really Dorsey’s position? I read his leadership team all threatened to walk out if he didn’t. Let’s not give him too much credit.

    • OMG, really!? I’ve got to check that out. Last I looked, Jenna Ellis was comforting Josh Hawley over the cancellation of his book contract with Simon & Schuster.

      • She may still be on, because not inciting violence. Flynn Jr’s off, and I hear Mrs Clarence Thomas got taken down – she blocked or deleted her FB stuff.

  2. Finally, should have happened years ago. If a little off topic, I’ve I’ve seen posts calling for immediate impeachment. Nancy has this just right. A whole weekend for many print and media news outlets to get busy on the story of our lifetimes. [ Enemy of the People] Sunday night the pressure on Mitch to get a resignation and pardon for that guy will be tremendous, he cant have that vote, By Sunday this story will be beyond spin. My thoughts,

    • Precisely, Steve. Heat of the moment would pass if she just went ahead, which is a mistake. No, better “double, double, toil and trouble,/Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” That builds up the head of steam you mentioned to the point of bursting. Fight smart, not hard.

      • Which she probably anticipated…her opponents are nothing if not predictable. The delay only works to her advantage, so McC fell on his McAss with a McSplat.

  3. So Trump has no access to his version of the Völkische Beobachter. I hate to say it but it didn’t stop a certain Austrian from taking power in Germany after a failed coup 10 years earlier. Donnie may not have 10 years but his daughter, Junior or some other endorsed heir would have plenty of time.

    Who here will deny that right wing politics is stronger now, after a failed coup, than they were before Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2016? What’s more now the right wing has their failed coup of 1923, sorry 2021, to commemorate, 4 fallen martyrs to hold high, rather than 16.

    I wouldn’t crow to loudly about banning Trump from social media, that hardly amounts to much when there is Fox “News” OneAmerica, NewsMax, breitbart and God know what else. Frankly the ban gives him the opportunity to once more ask for donations to build his own media empire, safe from the influence of the commie black and brown feminist free masons and whatnot.

    • Christ, really?! How many times do these people have to fail spectacularly before you admit that this is the STUPID version of the Nazis? Social contacts for this clan, foreign and domestic, are drying up to the point of vapor. The FBI has likely tapped TELEGRAPH wires to make sure no messages are getting out. And any big business that wants to stay in business is joining in the shaming and the deplatforming, FB and Reddit included. And Republicans will NEVER live this down, as Lincoln Project assures us.

      There are not enough of these people to keep this going. They don’t even make profitable assets at this point, what with the mass arrests, firings from jobs and general social ostracism. By 2030, there’s going to be even LESS of them. This was more like Russia in 1991, a final stab at the good old days that was doomed by a massive misreading of the room.
