    Nope. They have never shown actual video. All they’ve done is shown their own commentary on what they think he meant. They barely even quote him. Wonder why.

    He also told them to stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College - and when news broke that Pence wasn't going to (he never could) then
    the crowd did what Trump asked - they stopped the vote tally. So either Trump was oblivious or he was indifferent to the possibility of violence.

    and he was cheering them on watching it on tv as he thought it would push back for days completing the certification. He only pretended to change his tune after the pushback from his own party started

    I think that this was the real reason that a # of the quit his administration

    You're using a handful of lunatic extremists to stereotype all Trump followers. Left State Media has been doing that since the Capitol riot occurred. It is analogous to pointing to destructive Antifa thugs and then broad brushing them as a Biden cult. Seems pretty obvious to anyone with reason that the idea should be preposterous.

    Pretty much everyone in the country, including Trump, is in favor of having the individuals involved in criminal activity at the Capital arrested, trialed in court and fined or jailed.

    By trying to blame Trump personally as if he were a direct conspirator, instead of blaming the few individuals who committed crimes, the Left will ending up turning Trump into some kind of folk hero when history looks back on this mess.

    It is still a conduit for communication and is used more than voice calls. Is the fact that they are privately held (They are public) your only justification?

    BTW, I have never received a single trump tweet and don't care what he has to say. I silenced him years ago by not tuning in.

    Broadband suppliers need to start banning Facebook and Twitter on their networks as being discriminatory organizations. When they can ban anyone they want why can't they be banned?

    It's modern Newspeak. Mangling direct quotes and making them something they never were. Then getting a large chunk of the public to buy it.

    Guess you know how the BLM folk feel - not very fun to be brushed with such a broad brush, is it?

    And you are right, I should be saying SOME MAGA people were involved in the death and/or injuries to policemen.

    Roger Ailes of Fox News infamy was a master at that. The other entertainment networks picked up on that fast.
    All sides of the political spectrum use it.

    Even though the global BLM organization is a Marxist group, they drew a lot of non-Marxist people to protests who were simply supportive of police reform (as most of the country was). I have separated the peaceful BLM protesters, from the criminal looter, from the destructive Antifa anarchists. All of those groups should be separated from the elected Democrats who supported and urged the peaceful ones on as well.

    Yes, true. That doesn't stop the fact that many are getting caught up and blinded by the current round of disinformation.

    I agree. Antifa is another story. They are all dicks.

    No, same tune. Adding corporations to a party's arsenal makes government bigger, more powerful. The power to silence the opposition is a big one.

    I have thought that Trump lost his mind when he got Covid. With that said, the GOP has been trying to head off the act, or appearance, of voter fraud for years but the DNC had fought them at every turn saying that blacks were too stupid to get an ID (not in those words of course). This crap has been festering for much longer than Trump has been anywhere near D.C.

    So, it should logically follow that if someone in the House or Senate were calling to impeach Pelosi, Kamala, Pressley and/or Waters for "inciting an insurrection" because the loony fringe Antifa freaks destroyed a lot of property and injured/murdered people then that would be reason enough for many left wing Americans to turn those women into admirable martyrs or folk heroes.

    There is a chance at unity here if people agree that only the non-peaceful criminal elements which show up at otherwise peaceful protests should be arrested and charged with the crimes they chose to commit. It appears that the Left leadership is insistent on burning a high-profile witch though to satisfy the blood lust largely created by media spin. That's a shame. They really are turning Trump into a martyr in the eyes of many on the right, and exacerbating more needless division.

    Censorship of political opposition is a sign that the last threads of a fragile society are about to break.

    The dark web is nothing more than password protected sites. To be a member a person needs to be recommended by a member before they are given the password to enter the site. The sites are not well known like Twitter, Facebook and Parlor.

    if Twitter is to be held to the same standards as Parler
    What standards are these, because we already have laws that about internet content.

    ~ The underground internet chat sites will likely expand. Who knows maybe the old HTML message boards will make a comeback .

    Yes, a privately held, publicly traded company can do what it wants within the law. Telephones are irrelevant.

    Alex Jones is a nutter. I didn't even know who the guy was until a Joe Rogan podcast. Now, do you have any content on the actual topic? So far, you have been unable to refute anything I wrote, but you're good with the personal attacks.

    There are no Trump quotes calling for any of the violence, in fact he told them specifically before the riots to be peaceful. During the riot he told them to be peaceful and to go home.
