Rugbyguy Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I’m still absolutely gobsmacked that despite all his fuck ups, ridiculous, egotistical and scary behaviour, a record amount of Americans still turned out to vote for him. WTF is going on in your country??? Quote
Bretticus Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Record label Mexican Summer has cut ties with Ariel Pink after the indie musician drew criticism for attending the pro-Trump rally in Washington D.C. earlier this week. “Due to recent events, Mexican Summer and its staff have decided to end our working relationship with Ariel Rosenberg AKA Ariel Pink moving forward,” Mexican Summer tweeted Friday. --- Wasn't he the piece of shit who had a massive go a M a few years back?

There's plenty of racism and ignorance to go around! The United States has such a dark and twisted history it's ALWAYS been like this. No matter what the white washed history books try and tell you.

Barbie Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I always have a nice chuckle when I see those "tHis Is nOt wHo wE aRe" tweets this is EXACTLY what America is Just a few hundred years ago we had slavery. Black people were lynched daily. White supremacy was the standard! (and in many ways...still is) America has always been fucked up and I'm tired of people trying to pretend otherwise! Quote
Kim Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Some would say TOO LITTLE TOO LATE about all these social media and tech companies suddenly taking action over their part in this radicalisation just a matter of days before a brand new administration takes power. Quote
Raider of the lost Ark Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Can't wait for Don Jr. going to prison. I bet he will cry like a little girl. Quote

However demonic Fox TV are crying to high heavens that the radical left has censored the right. Unfortunately I fear this would lead to more radicalisation and capsulation of the alt right. There might even appear right wing "twitter", "facebook" etc. Now they can play the victim card. Maybe more effective would have been if there is an administrative body that imposes penalties to people who are are spreading fake news. Quote
Nikki Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 It's true though that they have to be consistent. Ban trump, but also ban those in power (or with a lot of influence) who said horrible things from the other side. theres a lot of scary homophobic and anti western tweets from other extremists..

But the committees with power to do that fall into Democrat hands in a few days - hence the sudden shift. Quote

Martin B. Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I had send a email to Apple this afternoon to complain that Parler was still available in the App Store, it seems that many people did. Quote
Cyber-Raga Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 While it’s good that something is finally done about this fascist, the problem of why ppl voted for him and/or keep endorsing these radical and dangerous ideas will not go away by canceling him and his supporters. It’s such a fucked up world atm. Quote

If it wasn't wouldn't have gotten to this point & pre T (barely bubbling beneath surface). States like different planets now let alone countries. I mean...CO/CT/CA vs WY/WV/**FL lol.

karbatal Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 But @potus is property of Trump? And @flotus of Melania? I thought those were official accounts for the president and the first lady. Whoever they are. Will Twitter delete the followers and hand the account to Joe Biden and Dr. Biden? Quote

whyme? Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I think the events at the Capitol spoke for themselves. There's no need to ban or impeach because then it becomes about banning, censoring, etc... and the right will twist the fuck out of it. Quote

It takes away a crazy person from a high post in security, it takes away any possibility that he's a candidate and it takes away all privileges that comes being a former president. Quote

True, anything that stops him standing again is desirable. The "right" will twist everything irrespective. Quote
