"What’s next for Donald Trump on social media?" by Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff, January 8, 2021
Donald Trump leaves the White House on Jan. 20, but on social media, he’s not going anywhere.
Yes, even after this week’s crackdown on his inflammatory and misleading Internet postings, Trump is likely to remain an online force.
“We have not heard the last of Donald Trump,” said Darrell West, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, a research group in Washington. “He is going to be ... posting well into the future.”
Really?
Just yesterday the Globe and others were calling for for his head after he incited insurrectionist and seditionists to terrorize the Capitol.
So is he part of the Big Con or what?
According to sources (my emphasis):
"They probably really did already get rid of him. I suspect Trump is not in control of his twitter, and his account will now be used as a psych warfare weapon. Very suspicious circumstances surrounding Trump, Nancy led a fake raid on the capitol that she did not inform everyone about beforehand and this is guaranteed because her son in law was one of the organizers. At the exact same time Trump got suspended, his entire family went silent on social media. This would match having the communists seize everyone simultaneously so no one could get the word out. It is how they do it. There are rumors Trump went into hiding and is safe with the military, plotting a way to save the country, but those are only rumors, what I believe this matches is the bolshevik revolution, where everyone was flagged bagged and tagged, and seized at the exact same moment so no one could warn anyone about what was going on. They'll probably release a few more deep fakes and attempt to let the entire topic of Trump fade into obscurity. To summarize the above: Nancy led the raid. It was not a secret to her. Trump posted a twitter video condemning the raid and calling for peace. I saw it, and at the time believed the raid was real and ridiculed Trump for what he said. Twitter deleted that video, called Trump violent which was an abject lie, and suspended his account. Simultaneously Trump's entire family went silent. A supreme court case scheduled for the 7th never happened and Trump would have had to have been there. And then the deep fake video of Trump "conceding" got posted. One of two scenarios is possible: 1. Trump and family went into military protection all at the same time, or 2. They are captured the way communists always do it, and could already be fish food. Time will tell. ONLY time will tell.
I stop here to comment, and I don't know about the concession video; however, my sense is the second situation is sadly more likely than first and we will soon now because the arrests have to come within the next week or so don't hold your breath.
The communists are ALREADY calling for ethnic cleansing in the United States They are minimizing Trump supporters by only counting the votes they claim he had. But even with that said, there were only about 150 million votes, which means Trump, at a minimum, took 47 percent of the country. That's over 160 million. We all know it was rigged, so Trump in fact has at least 230 million supporters. That matches the number Deagel said was going to die. Trump is not even "techinically" out of office, and ABC news has already said this: "Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else."
That tweet by Rick Klein(!) was soon removed but never flagged.
That statement even by itself proves the election was stolen. THEY got rid of Trump, we did not, and now, THEY are going to get rid of you. We already have a deep fake of Trump posted to Twitter, he's probably gone, and next, it will be YOU. Let me guess what the story line will be: "In a rage after his election loss, Trump murdered his whole family EXCEPT FOR JARED and then killed himself." Or perhaps they'll add variety by claiming there was an accident, like a plane crash, where Jared was not aboard. Or a bombing Or a boat accident. Or whatever. They have to get the Jew out of the situation somehow! "You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators." ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn AND NOW THAT MEDIA IS USING THE WORD "CLEANSE". Only a moron would not see what that means. THE TAKEDOWN OF THE ALT MEDIA WEB IS BEING ATTEMPTED NOW....." -- Jim Stone
I agree very much with that last statement, it is obvious in the run-up to the Biden inauguration, and Stone has his own solutions for what should be done, and you will need to go there to see them as the alarm bells are going off.
He is more fog and noise:
"Is there a game on? Consider: What you’re seeing may not be what you think you’re seeing. If an “orderly transition to the next administration” meant what you think it means, Nancy Pelosi would not be shrieking for an insta-super-quickie impeachment. By the way, what would that look like as a procedural matter? Think: Chinese fire drill. The New York Times’s panties are on fire, declaring a national emergency. Headline this morning: Democrats Demand Trump’s Removal. Funny… they didn’t feel this exercised when Antifa attacked congressmen and senators on the streets of Washington last summer, leaving the president’s acceptance speech at the White House. Twitter and Facebook are busy throwing overboard anybody who dares to challenge the narrative they’ve helped to craft. Something’s up now and it’s making them even more hysterical than usual..... Who, exactly, invaded the Capitol building on Wednesday when that mass of Trump supporters swarmed up the hallowed hill? Some Antifas and BLMs were on the scene for sure, probably in the vanguard, probably the ones smashing the windows to break in, but somebody else went in there, too, and rounded up a whole bunch of congressional laptops, including several in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, foolishly left behind when members were evacuated in a panic.....
Does that mean national secrets may have been stolen?
Did congress knowingly certify a fraudulent election? That will be a tantalizing question in the days ahead. Another rumor in the fog says that Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe delivered a report on foreign interference in the election to members of congress following the conclusion early Thursday morning of their electoral college business. Was that the match that set Resistance panties on fire? Mr. Ratcliffe has been missing-in-action for more than a week. His report was originally scheduled for delivery to the president November 18. It was postponed and everybody forgot about it, especially the news media. Let’s also just step back for a moment and ask: why did so many flag-waving MAGAs turn out Wednesday on the Mall in Washington DC? Answer: because they have been served one shit sandwich after another for four years by the Democratic Party and their captive news media, and the latest one featured vote tabulations getting erased in real time at ten-plus thousand vote increments right before their eyes on the flatscreen in the wee hours of November 4, and after that, and other balloting monkeyshines, the response from their government was a mere yawn. Total institutional failure. The ballot fraud that so many witnessed was never aired or adjudicated in a proper legal forum, and they were good and goddam pissed about it. Mr. Trump is rumored to be at an air force base in Texas, having vamoosed the White House as being unsafe for him. Is he cornered by his antagonists or does he have a planned operation underway? Who knows (not me)?" -- James Howard Kuntzler
At this point it is almost a who cares?
We are living under tyranny and the big story is which controlled corporate puke will run the country?
Trump delivered Warp Speed and Biden is hitting the pedal to the metal when he comes in. Case closed.
Until the social media companies cracked down this week, Trump was allowed to publish comments that might have gotten him suspended if he was still just a reality-show host. Facebook and Twitter routinely attach labels to Trump postings, noting the president’s statements are false or in dispute, but they previously stopped short of outright censorship, partly because they fear a backlash from conservative Trump supporters. In addition, Facebook and Twitter have argued it’s in the public interest for citizens to receive unfiltered messages from world leaders such as Trump.
The Internet is the 21st-century soapbox, and any attempt to censor communication is criminal, period, period, period.
When he becomes a private citizen, Trump will face the same sanctions as anyone else for posting inflammatory comments, if, for example, he is able to regain his Facebook account, but media specialists say Trump is unlikely to dial it back, especially since the only sites that will have them don’t have the same restrictions as Twitter and Facebook.
After what they have done, Big Tech has proven it’s more powerful than any government, and it is being heralded as victory by the Globe.
One of those sites is Gab, a Twitter-like knockoff favored by fans of the alt-right. Its founder, Andrew Torba, thinks the mainstream social media sites have been itching for an excuse to silence Trump.
“Silicon Valley traitors will [undoubtedly] ban the president from their platforms, and when they do, Gab will welcome him and any other patriots with open arms,” Torba said an e-mail.
Gab already has set up an account for Trump, in hopes that he’ll move away from Twitter, and it already has 440,000 followers.
Trump might also migrate to Parler, another Twitter rival that has been embraced by conservative media stars such as Fox News stalwarts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, but Parler has a little more than eight million registered users and Gab a mere 1.1 million, compared to about 330 million worldwide for Twitter. So he faces an immediate dropoff in his online visibility.
That wouldn’t be fatal, said Mike Horning, an associate professor of multimedia journalism at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Trump supporters would probably republish his Gab or Parler messages on their own Twitter and Facebook accounts.
“Once something is shared on social media, it’s easy to screen-grab it and for other individuals to widely share it,” said Horning. “It’s sort of like playing Whack-A-Mole,” and Trump could supplement this with frequent appearances on talk radio, conservative television networks, or his own personal website, or his fans could receive Trump’s messages through email, a medium that’s as easy to use as Twitter, and virtually impossible to censor.
Is that enough exposure to keep Trump in the public eye? Horning said a lot depends on whether Trump remains a power in the Republican Party.
“If they take the position that we really want to see the party move in a different direction, then he may disappear into obscurity,” Horning said, but if Trump’s nationalist, anti-immigration views remain popular, said Horning, they’ll continue to be amplified online by prominent Republicans, and by Trump himself, even if he can no longer do it via Twitter.
That's the plan, if it hasn't happened already.
This guy is Braying bullshit, btw. Trump isn;'t going to be on TV, not as a disgraced president who incited insurrection. Fox won't be having him on, and won't be around much longer anyway.
For West, the best defense against online disinformation would be reform of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This 1996 federal law exempts Internet sites from liability for messages posted by their users. A recent modification allowed sites to be sued if they permitted messages related specifically to sex trafficking. Now West and some others favor further changes that could let Twitter and Facebook face legal action if a user posts inaccurate, inflammatory, or hateful content.
“We are going to hold them responsible for egregious violations,” said West, but he added “the debate is going to be over how to define ‘egregious.’ "
Because “bad speech” is so hard to define, a change in the law might lead the social networks to preemptively bar all manner of controversial commentary that might lead to a lawsuit, whether posted by Trump or anyone else. That could mean a less angry, spiteful Internet, but one with less freedom of speech for everybody.
The Globe isn't concerned, and I hope they are shut down one day.
--more--"
They are literally toasting their long-awaited victory over the Trump and the Internet as Ben Affleck fumbles his coffee.
Yes, dear readers, you saw that right. Those are the D1 front-page articles in the Globe's bu$ine$$ $ection above, and with each passing day the Globe becomes more vacuous in its coverage. It's the worst kind of ran-rot slop filler you ever saw.
You open it up and the ostensible bu$ine$$ lead is a brief at the top of page D2:
"U.S. employers shed jobs last month for the first time since April, cutting 140,000 positions, clear evidence that the economy is faltering as the viral pandemic tightens its grip on consumers and businesses. At the same time, the unemployment rate stayed at 6.7%, the first time it hasn’t fallen since April. Friday’s figures from the Labor Department depict a sharply uneven job market, with losses concentrated among restaurants, bars, hotels and entertainment venues, many of them affecting low-income employees, while most other sectors are still adding workers. Still, the nation has nearly 10 million fewer jobs than it did before the pandemic sent it into a deep recession nearly a year ago, having recovered just 56% of the jobs lost in the spring. The pandemic will likely continue to weaken the economy through winter and perhaps early spring, and further job losses are possible in the coming months, but many economists say that once coronavirus vaccines are more widely distributed, a broader recovery should take hold in the second half of the year. The incoming Biden administration, along with a now fully Democratic-led House and Senate, is also expected to push more rescue aid and spending measures that could accelerate growth.
So that is one reason why the election was fixed the way it was, among other things. Republicans and Trump didn't want to give Wall Street all the money it wanted.
Beyond that, I had to marvel at the conclusion drawn by the $hit pre$$ that all the phony printed paper they are going to disperse will somehow ACCELERATE GROWTH as governors tighten restrictions and we await BIDEN'S 100-DAY LOCKDOWN!
The "growth" will on Wall Street because the loot is meant to prop up stock prices, period.
What is it with the $tink pre$$, hey?
“Hopefully it is indeed darkest before the dawn,” said Leslie Preston, senior economist at TD Bank. “We’ve got the vaccine and the stimulus, which are imminent, and which we do expect to turn things around.” For now, the renewed surge in virus cases, as well as cold weather, has caused millions of consumers to avoid eating out, shopping and traveling. Re-imposed business restrictions have shut down numerous restaurants, bars, and other venues. Economists at TD Securities estimate that more than half the states have restricted gatherings to 10 or fewer people, up from about a quarter in September. New York and California, among others, placed strict new limits on restaurants last month. Last month, restaurants, bars, hotels, casinos, movie theaters and other entertainment venues shed nearly 500,000 jobs, the most since April, when nationwide shutdowns triggered 7.6 million layoffs. While those employers will regain some jobs as the economy recovers, changing consumer habits will likely mean that a portion will be gone for good. Business travel, for example, may not return to pre-pandemic levels."
Did you get all that sophistry and bull$hit at the end there with their sickening qualifiers and excuses?
That's what is a key component of bull$hit served up by the pre$$.
All over a renewed surge in cases for a "virus" that they don't specifically identify and for which the person is not infectious due the faulty and fraudulent cycling of the "tests."
"New viral cases continue to set daily records, and on Thursday, the nation registered more COVID-19 deaths in a single day than ever before, topping 4,000. The virus is surging in several states, with California, the largest state, hit particularly hard. Skyrocketing caseloads there are threatening to force hospitals to ration care.
I'm going to stop and comment because the hospitals are now criminals, even if Obamacare iOS finally working!
The other thing is, if the above alarmism based on distortions and outright lies is true, then the SHUTDOWNS have FAILED!
You can't have it both ways, you fucks!
Most other industries added jobs in December, with manufacturers, construction companies, and higher-paying professional services such as architecture, engineering and accounting hiring more workers. The huge disparities among industries are sure to exacerbate economic inequality, given that most of the job losses are in lower-paid industries, while middle- and higher-paid workers have largely remained employed.
They are literally redesigning the labor market as the Great Reset is being implemented, and don't worry, Biden, Democrats, and the Globe will fix that inequality.
Friday’s data suggests that the pandemic economy is continuing to benefit some sectors, with transportation and warehousing adding nearly 47,000 jobs. E-commerce firms also ramped up hiring. Delivery jobs rose 37,000. “We’re seeing huge rotation here,” said Brian Bethune, an economist at Tufts University. “The higher-paying goods-producing industries are doing well. Unfortunately, the leisure and hospitality industries are still getting whacked.” Under financial pressure, consumers as a whole spent less during the holiday shopping season than in previous years, based on debit and credit card data tracked by JPMorgan Chase. Such spending was 6% lower in December compared with a year ago. The $900 billion financial aid package that Congress enacted last month should also help propel a recovery, economists say. It will provide a $300-a-week federal jobless benefit on top of an average weekly state benefit of about $320. In addition, millions of Americans stand to receive $600 payments, and the Treasury Department said Thursday that 8 million of those payments were going out this week.
That bill is rancid by now, and won't do a damn thing for average people.
Friday’s monthly jobs report, the last of Donald Trump’s presidency, shows that the nation has 3 million fewer jobs than it did four years earlier. That makes Trump the first president since Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), early in the Great Depression, to preside over a net loss of jobs.
COVID did its job, and destroyed the wonderful economy we had only a year ago. That as to be his legacy and ticket to reelection after surviving impeachment, and if you can't see the planned and scripted bull$hit based on events then you are blind. It was always about getting rid of Trump, a single-minded focus of the e$tabli$hment the last five years.
Not only that, the alleged insurrection has tarnished him worse than Hoover.
All the job losses during the Trump administration occurred after the pandemic struck. Before then, the unemployment rate had reached a 50-year low of 3.5%. Still, Trump had pledged to create 25 million jobs in four years....
I hope it was worth it, Americans.
When I read about the destruction of his wonderful economy just now, I really got sad.
Right next door to the above article, and related:
"Wall Street notched more milestones Friday as the market largely shrugged off another discouraging jobs report amid expectations that the incoming Biden administration will pump more aid into the pandemic-ravaged economy. Technology stocks and companies that rely on consumer spending helped lift the market, outweighing losses in financial, industrial and other sectors. The Labor Department said Friday employers cut jobs for the first time since April as the worsening pandemic led more businesses to shut down, but Wall Street remains hopeful that Washington will come through with more badly needed support for American workers and businesses following President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. “There are still close to 4 million people who have been long-term unemployed, which could threaten growth in the next couple of months,” said Megan Horneman, director of portfolio strategy at Verdence Capital Advisors. “The market continues to slowly grind higher because (investors) are expecting additional stimulus when the new administration goes into effect later this month.”
All that Trump made those people, and they turned on him like he was a Caesar.
"President Donald Trump acknowledged late Thursday that he’ll be leaving the White House later this month. With Democrats soon in control of the presidency, Senate and House, investors are anticipating Washington will try to deliver even more stimulus for the struggling economy. That’s layering on top of expectations already built up for the economy to get healthier as coronavirus vaccines roll out in 2021. The much weaker-than-expected report on the jobs market underscored the stakes for the economy, and analysts said it adds more pressure on Congress to act. It was a much worse reading than the modest growth that economists were expecting to see. The expectations began building shortly after November’s elections, and they accelerated this week after Democrats won two Georgia runoff elections for the Senate. They will give Democrats a majority in the Senate, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris providing a tie-breaking vote amid a 50-50 split with Republicans. Democrats already controlled the House, and Democrat Joe Biden is set to take the presidential oath of office on Jan. 20. Another encouraging thing for many investors is that Democrats will have only a thin majority in the Senate. In the optimistic case for Wall Street, that could give them enough clout to push through more stimulus for the economy but not enough to raise tax rates sharply and toughen up regulations so much that they significantly damage profits for companies. Financial stocks gave up some of their big gains from earlier in the week, which were triggered by expectations for a strengthening economy and bigger profits from making loans at higher interest rates....."
Awww, bank stocks went down, boo-fucking-hoo!

Haven't kids been traumatized enough, you evil fucks?
So it has gone from what do you tell the children about Clinton and Monica, the terrorists of 9/11, the mass shootings, COVID, and now what do you tell the children about another f***ing psyop.

Speaking of that, the Globe leads with a full banner today:
"Calls mount for Trump to step down" by Nicholas Fandos, Maggie Haberman, Luke Broadwater New York Times, January 8, 2021
Democrats laid the groundwork Friday for impeaching President Donald Trump a second time, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California threatened to bring him up on formal charges if he did not resign “immediately” over his role in inciting a violent mob attack on the Capitol this week.
That sickening skank can f**k off.
The threat was part of an all-out effort by furious Democrats, backed by a handful of Republicans, to pressure Trump to leave office in disgrace after the hourslong siege by his supporters Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Although he has only 12 days left in the White House, they argued he was a direct danger to the nation.
We had weeks-long sieges this summer by BLM and Antifa, and the piece of $hit NYT never referred to them that way.
Pelosi and other top Democratic leaders continued to press Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to wrest power from Trump, although Pence was said to be against it.
Pence has already done his job.
The speaker urged Republican lawmakers to pressure the president to resign immediately, and she took the unusual step of calling Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to discuss how to limit Trump’s access to the nation’s nuclear codes and then publicized it.
“If the president does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to colleagues.
Go ahead.
Maybe Kuntzler is on to something because the reaction does seem disproportionate, or maybe this is just their way to ruin him forever (more likely the latter).
A spokesperson for Milley, Col. Dave Butler, confirmed that the two had spoken and said the general had “answered her questions regarding the process of nuclear command authority,” but some Defense Department officials have privately expressed anger that political leaders seemed to be trying to get the Pentagon to do the work of Congress and Cabinet secretaries, who have legal options to remove a president.
While military officials can refuse to carry out orders they view as illegal, they cannot proactively remove the president from the chain of command. That would be a military coup, these officials said.
What do you think we are under now?
At least one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, followed Pelosi’s lead and told The Anchorage Daily News that she was considering leaving the Republican Party altogether because of Trump. “I want him out,” she said. “He has caused enough damage.”
Byyyyyyyye!
Don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out!
At the White House, Trump struck a defiant tone, insisting that he would remain a potent force in American politics as aides and allies abandoned him and his post-presidential prospects turned increasingly bleak. Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before.
He said on Twitter on Friday morning that he would not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, the first incumbent in 150 years to skip his successor’s swearing-in. Hours later, Twitter “permanently suspended” his beloved account, which had more than 88 million followers, “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
His beloved account, huh, NYT?
What a piece of shit they are no matter what you think nor Trump!
Federal law enforcement officials announced charges against at least 13 people in connection with the storming of the Capitol, including Richard Barnett, 60, of Gravette, Arkansas, who had posted a picture of himself on social media sitting at Pelosi’s desk during the mayhem with his feet up on her desk, and a Republican state delegate from West Virginia.
I'm still waiting for the charges to be filed against BLM and Antifa for last summer, and there is a picture of him below.
Among enraged Democrats, an expedited impeachment appeared to be the most attractive option to remove Trump and register their outrage at his role in encouraging what became an insurrection. Roughly 170 of them in the House had signed onto a single article that Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and others intended to introduce Monday, charging the president with “willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States.”
No outrage at Pelosi for setting it all up, huh?
This thing was so obviously a staged false flag it's becoming a joke!
Democratic senators weighed in with support, and some Republicans appeared newly amenable to the idea. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska indicated he would be open to considering articles of impeachment at a trial. A spokesperson for Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she was “outraged” by Trump’s role in the violence, but could not comment on an impeachment case given the possibility she could soon be sitting in the jury.
Deep $tate Sasse was already back-talking.
Even Sen. Mitch McConnell, the majority leader and one of Trump’s most influential allies for the past four years, told confidants he was done with Trump. McConnell did not directly weigh on a possible impeachment case, but he circulated a memo to senators making clear that under the Senate’s current rules, no trial could effectively be convened before Jan. 20, after Trump leaves office and Biden is sworn in, unless all 100 senators agreed to allow it sooner.
It was a fitting denouement for a president who, despite years of norm-shattering behavior, has acted largely without consequence throughout his presidency, showing no impulse to change his ways, despite being impeached in Congress, defeated at the ballot box and now belatedly shunned by some members of his own party.
By Friday evening, Pelosi had not made a final decision on whether to proceed with impeachment and was wary of rushing into such a momentous step. She issued a statement saying she had instructed the House Rules Committee to be ready to move ahead with either an impeachment resolution or legislation creating a nonpartisan panel of experts envisaged in the 25th Amendment to consult with Pence about the president’s fitness to serve.
Oh, so it is ALL BLUSTER, huh?
Democrats agreed it was logistically possible to vote on articles of impeachment as soon as next week, but they were weighing how to justify bypassing the usual monthslong deliberative process of collecting documents, witnesses and the president’s defense.
That's something that comes from NAZI GERMANY or SOVIET RUSSIA!
Others worried that Trump’s base would rally more forcefully around him if Democrats pushed forward with impeaching him again, undermining their goal of relegating the 45th president to the ash heap of history.
They will anyway, regardless of what treacherous Democrats do.
Republicans who only days before had led the charge to overturn Trump’s electoral defeat said impeaching him now would shatter the unity that was called for after the Capitol siege.
FUCK UNITY after THIS!
“Impeaching the president with just 12 days left in his term will only divide our country more,” said Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the Republican leader, just a day after he voted twice to overturn Biden’s legitimate victory in key swing states.
Judd Deere, a White House spokesperson, issued a nearly identical statement.
Democrats, too, were concerned about plunging Washington into a divisive, time-consuming and politically fraught drama that would overshadow and constrain Biden’s agenda and stomp on his attempt to unify the country.
Why am I wasting time with this filler BS, because that is all it is?
Pelosi elaborated on her thinking in a private call with House Democrats, indicating she was particularly concerned about Trump’s behavior while he remained commander in chief of the armed forces, with the authority to order nuclear strikes.
“He’s unhinged,” Pelosi said, according to Democrats familiar with her remarks. “We aren’t talking about anything besides an unhinged person. We can’t move on. If we think we can move on then we are failing the American people.”
Because I am a gentleman I will call her the word that she is.
Democrats appeared to be largely united after the call, which lasted more than three hours, that the chamber needed to send a strong message to Americans and the world that Trump’s rhetoric and the violence that resulted from it would not go unanswered.
Pelosi had asked one of her most trusted deputies who prosecuted Democrats’ first impeachment case against Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, to give a frank assessment of the potential drawbacks of impeachment during the session.
That f**king liar?
Schiff did so, but later issued a statement saying, “Congress should act to begin impeachment proceedings as the only instrument wholly within our power to remove a president who has so manifestly and repeatedly violated the Constitution and put our nation at grave risk.”
At least one Democrat, Rep. Kurt Schrader, a centrist from Oregon, argued against impeachment, likening the move to an “old-fashioned lynching” of Trump, and arguing it would turn the president into a martyr. He later apologized for the analogy.
He got it right and he has to apologize?
Maybe they can kick him out of the party like Cruz and Hawley on the other side?
A bipartisan group of centrist senators, including several who helped draft a stimulus compromise last month, discussed the possibility of drafting a formal censure resolution against Trump, but it was unclear if a meaningful attempt to build support for censure would get off the ground, especially with Democrats pushing for a stiffer punishment.
I'm wasting time with this!
After years of deference to the president, leading Republicans in Congress made no effort to defend him, and some offered stinging rebukes. At least a few appeared open to the possibility of impeachment, which if successful could also disqualify Trump from holding political office in the future.
THAT is what this is all about!
Getting rid of him forever.
What a$$holes!
If the House did impeach, and the Senate put Trump on trial, 17 Republicans or more would most likely have to join Democrats to win a conviction. That was a politically perilous and unlikely decision given his continued hold on millions of the party’s voters.
At the same time Republicans in Washington were chastising Trump, the Republican National Committee reelected Ronna McDaniel, a Trump ally and his hand-picked candidate, as its chair for another term, and Tommy Hicks Jr., a close friend of Donald Trump Jr.’s, as the co-chair.
Political risks for Republicans breaking ranks were also on vivid display Friday at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, where several dozen jeering supporters of Trump accosted Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, angrily denouncing the Republican as a “traitor” and a “liar” for voting to formalize Biden’s victory.
“It’s going to be like this forever, wherever you go, for the rest of your life,” one woman taunted to Graham, who had been one of Trump’s leading Senate allies and had initially humored his baseless claims of widespread election fraud.....
First it was no fraud, the cleanest election in history, and now it is no "widespread" fraud.
--more--"
There is that disgusting skank again, and the entire article above was rewritten to remove and omit many things, included her invoking of the resignation of Nixon amid the Watergate scandal.
The Orwellianism is beyond belief at this point. Obama not only did a Nixon with the IRS and his political enemies (remember the Lerner letters?), but trumped (pun intended) Nixon by using the intelligence apparatus and law enforcement agencies to spy on political opponents.
Nixon only used those agencies to try and cover up a private political operation; Obama used them to aid and abet the worst criminality ever committed by a president outside invading and bombing nations based on abominable lies.
This is as close as I could find to what was in print:
"Pelosi threatens House could move to impeach Trump if he doesn’t resign ‘immediately.’" by Nicholas Fandos and Luke Broadwater New York Times, Jan. 8, 2021
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California threatened on Friday that the House could move to impeach President Trump over his role in inciting a violent mob attack on the Capitol if he did not resign “immediately,” appealing to Republicans to join the push to force him from office.
In a letter to House Democrats on Friday, Pelosi invoked the resignation of Richard M. Nixon amid the Watergate scandal, when Republicans prevailed upon the president to resign and avoid the ignominy of an impeachment, calling Trump’s actions a “horrific assault on our democracy.”
Pelosi also said she had spoken with Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about “preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes.”
A spokesman for General Milley, Col. Dave Butler, confirmed that the two had spoken and said the general had “answered her questions regarding the process of nuclear command authority,” but some Defense Department officials have privately expressed anger that political leaders seemed to be trying to get the Pentagon to do the work of Congress and Cabinet secretaries, who have legal options to remove a president.
Trump, they noted, is still the commander in chief, and unless he is removed, the military is bound to follow his lawful orders. While military officials can refuse to carry out orders they view as illegal, they cannot proactively remove the president from the chain of command. That would be a military coup, these officials said.
The letter from Pelosi came as momentum for impeachment was rapidly growing on Friday among rank-and-file Democrats across the party’s ideological spectrum, and a handful of Republicans offered potential support.
Representative Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, the No. 4 Democrat, said that if Vice President Mike Pence would not invoke the 25th Amendment to forcibly relieve Trump of his duties, House Democrats were prepared to act on impeachment by the middle of next week, but in a noon phone call, some others cautioned that Democrats needed to pause to consider the implications, and Pelosi told her colleagues she planned to speak to President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. about the matter later on Friday afternoon.
This is GARBAGE, folks, and the DEMOCRAPS are F**KING DISGUSTING!!
They didn't win any election, they didn't win president, they didn't win House or Senate, they stole 'em all! It's so goddamn obvious, and that was part of Pelosi's false flag!
The challenges and evidence that backed them up were never heard or seen on TV! That was purpose of disrupting the count.
Democrats were rushing to begin the expedited proceeding two days after the president rallied his supporters near the White House, urging them to go to the Capitol to protest his election defeat, then continuing to stoke their grievances as they stormed the edifice — with Pence and the entire Congress meeting inside to formalize Biden’s victory.
He didn't rally them, he simply went and spoke to them because they were coming anyway.
At this point, such deception and distortion is to be expected from the piece of $hit New York Times.
Just a day after he voted twice to overturn Biden’s legitimate victory in key swing states, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the Republican leader, urged both parties to “lower the temperature” and said he would reach out to Biden about uniting the country. Though he did not defend Trump, he argued that seeking to remove him would not help.
They DO INTEND to ELIMINATE YOU ALL!
THEN they will HAVE UNITY -- and PEACE!
The House is next scheduled to be in session on Monday, meaning that articles of impeachment could not be introduced until then. On Friday, Clark said on Twitter that Democrats were working to find “the quickest path to hold Trump accountable,” but added that they faced “obstruction and attempts to delay us by the G.O.P. defenders.
After a 3.5-hour call with fellow Democrats, Pelosi said she had instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with either a motion for impeachment or legislation sponsored by Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland, to establish a body under the 25th Amendment that can declare a president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
“It is the hope of members that the president will immediately resign,” Pelosi said in a statement, “but if he does not, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared.”
This is why she was so smug and certain he would be leaving long before the election.
The announcement came after a call that Pelosi called “sad, moving and patriotic” in which members recounted the terror of the violent mob attack on the Capitol from Trump’s supporters.
“The violent insurrection was an attack on the caucus, the Congress, the country and the Constitution that was incited and facilitated by Donald Trump,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the caucus chairman, said on the call. “He must be held accountable for his actions.”
SO SHOULD YOU!

"Dominion sues pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, seeking more than $1.3 billion" by Emma Brown Washington Post, January 8, 2021
That is how you get a high-profile person to shut up.
Dominion Voting Systems on Friday filed a defamation lawsuit against lawyer Sidney Powell, demanding more than $1.3 billion in damages for havoc it says Powell has caused by spreading “wild” and “demonstrably false” allegations, including that Dominion played a central role in a fantastical scheme to steal the 2020 election from President Trump.
WaCompo, NYT, really is no difference.
In fact, WaCompo has been known as the CIA paper for years, and now Bezos has the cloud contract to boot!
For weeks, Powell has claimed that Dominion was established with communist money in Venezuela to enable ballot-stuffing and other vote manipulation, and that those abilities were harnessed to rig the election for former vice president Joe Biden. Her claims — though rejected by multiple judges and elections officials — have gained traction with many right-wing voters and with Trump himself.
The compromised pedophile judges didn't even bother to allow the evidence to be presented, they dismissed it out of hand.
In a 124-page complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Dominion said its reputation and resale value have been deeply damaged by a “viral disinformation campaign” that Powell mounted “to financially enrich herself, to raise her public profile, and to ingratiate herself to Donald Trump.” The defendants named in the lawsuit include Powell, her law firm, and Defending the Republic, the organization she set up to solicit donations to support her election-related litigation.
How is she getting rich off this?
If anything, she is bring down public scorn upon herself. There is no benefit to what she is doing, other than fighting for truth and real justice.
In an interview, Dominion CEO John Poulos said the lawsuit aims to clear his company’s name through a full airing of the facts about the 2020 election.
Poulos said he would like the case to go to trial rather than settle.
So would we, except all evidence must have been seized and destroyed then!
As for a "full airing of the facts," what do Democrats and Biden have to fear from that if what they claim is true?
You only dismiss and ignore something like that if it DOES NOT BACK YOU UP!
L. Lin Wood, a lawyer who has worked alongside Powell on post-election lawsuits and who says he is representing her in connection to defamation matters, called the lawsuit an attempt “to censor speech or try to intimidate people from telling the truth.”
“I haven’t seen the lawsuit, but I don’t have any concerns about Dominion,” he said in an interview.
He has also been banned from social media because he has really let some bombshells go regarding the pedophile gang that is the ruling cla$$, one noting that Chief Justice Roberts was an Epstein flier and likes little boys.
As Powell’s accusations about Dominion spread after the election, the company’s employees were stalked, harassed, and received death threats via e-mail, text, and phone: “we are already watching you,” read a text message to one Dominion employee, according to the complaint. “Come clean and you will live.”
More false flags, and that is all we are going to get the next four years -- agenda-pushing false flags to demote political opponents, whoever they be.
The company says it has spent more than $565,000 on protection for personnel since the election.
Dominion has sent retraction demands or document preservation letters, often precursors to litigation, to more than 20 individuals and entities, including to Wood, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani; and to Fox News, Newsmax, One America News, and the Epoch Times, media companies that have lent Powell an enormous platform in the two months since the election.
Some of the news outlets, including Fox, have since backed off the claims or issued corrective statements.
Thomas A. Clare, an attorney representing Dominion who is well-known for litigating defamation cases, said his team filed against Powell first “because she’s been the most prolific and in many ways has been the originator of these false statements, but to be clear, none of this would have been possible without other individuals and without other media outlets that have their own responsibility,” Clare said, “and we’re looking at all of them.”
The e$tabli$hment is clo$ing ranks, folks.
Asked whether Dominion intends to sue Trump, Clare said no one has been ruled out. “We’re going to follow this wherever the evidence leads us.”
PFFFT!
Yeah, right.
In the complaint filed Friday, Dominion chronicles more than three dozen of Powell’s public statements about the company, showing how she continued attacking it even after multiple local, state, and federal officials rejected claims of widespread election fraud.
God bless her!
She has claimed that Dominion’s voting system was created in Venezuela to rig elections for former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez and has said that secret algorithms in Dominion machines were used to manipulate votes in favor of Biden in 2020. She has accused the company of bribing Georgia officials to win a no-bid contract with the state. She has promised to tweet a video of Dominion’s founder — Poulos — saying he could “change a million votes, no problem at all.”
We all know votes were flipped in the machines, that's nothing new. Goes back 20 years now.
No such video ever materialized.
Just like the Omarosa video that allegedly showed Trump saying the N-word, remember?
Dominion’s lawsuit cites “mountains of evidence conclusively disproving Powell’s vote-manipulation claims.” While many pages of the complaint are devoted to dissecting and rebutting of those claims, the company notes in particular that hand counts — including a statewide hand count of millions of ballots in Georgia — have confirmed that Dominion machines tabulated votes accurately.
So it counted fraud ballots that were stuffed into their machine, big deal.
Dominion sent Powell a letter on Dec. 16 demanding that she retract her “wild, knowingly baseless, and false accusations.” Four days later, Powell wrote on Twitter that she was “retracting nothing.”
“We have #evidence,” she wrote. “They are #fraud masters!”
Since then, Powell has continued accusing Dominion of wrongdoing, including in a Jan. 3 tweet claiming that thousands of votes in Georgia were switched from Trump to Biden.
The complaint filed Friday accuses Powell of breaking state defamation laws in Georgia, where she spoke at a “Stop the Steal” rally in December, and in the District of Columbia, where she appeared at a November news conference and has given multiple interviews from the Trump International Hotel. It also alleges that she engaged in deceptive trade practices by using false statements about Dominion to raise her public profile, gain clients, and sell more copies of a book she wrote in 2014.
The lawsuit, which seeks both compensatory and punitive damages, is based on Powell’s statements to the public and the media rather than on the allegations she made in federal lawsuits she filed seeking to overturn election results in four battleground states, but Powell’s actions in those cases — popularly known as the “kraken” suits, after a mythological sea-creature that Powell has adopted as a mascot — are under separate legal scrutiny.
They need to put a muzzle on her free speech!

They don't want to be set up like those this past week, and it is a win for tyranny.
"Biden said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who led the effort in the Senate to challenge the election results in states Biden won, is responsible for the breach of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob on Wednesday because he perpetuated Trump’s lies about the election, going so far as to draw a parallel between Cruz’s actions and Joseph Goebbels, one of Adolf Hitler’s closest advisers. Biden attributed to Goebbels the idea that if you keep repeating a big lie people will eventually believe it, citing the Nazi leader’s gross embellishment of how many were killed when Allies bombed the city of Dresden. Goebbels used the lie in an effort to discredit the Allies’ reputation as the good guys. The president-elect said it’s one thing for Trump to spread lies, but it’s another for some Republican lawmakers to repeat them. “If he’s the only one saying it, that’s one thing,” Biden said, “but the acolytes that follow him, like Cruz and others, they are as responsible as he is.” Still, Biden did not endorse some Democrats’ calls to have Cruz and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) removed from office, saying, “I think they should be just flat beaten the next time they run. I think the American public has a real good, clear look who they are,” he added. “They’re part of the big lie.” Hawley was the first Republican senator to announce he would object to Biden’s win in several states; he challenged the results in Pennsylvania. Soon after, Cruz rallied nearly a dozen GOP senators to do the same. In response to the president-elect, Hawley defended his actions and called on Biden to retract “those sick comments. This is undignified, immature, and intemperate behavior from the President-elect. It is utterly shameful,” he said. Biden said he was also heartened that many Republicans he’s spoken to have said how shameless they found Cruz’s action and how mortified they were by Trump."
Sorry, Joe, but first one to bring up Hitler loses the argument!
What you do notice is even now, the Jewi$h war pre$$ is unwilling to face up to its own war crimes when it comes to Dresden, and the reputation as the "good guys" is a media construct. There were no good guys in the "Good War" because there is never a good war. Goering knew that.
The above would be laughable were the situation not so existentially serious.

"A lawmaker from West Virginia and a man who broke into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and posed at her desk were among those arrested on charges related to the siege at the Capitol, federal law enforcement officials announced on Friday as they promised an exhaustive investigation into the violence. The authorities also found 11 Molotov cocktails and a semiautomatic rifle in the truck of a 70-year-old man from Alabama who was also arrested, according to prosecutors. He also had two handguns. Hundreds of prosecutors and F.B.I. agents have been assigned to work the investigation and were pursuing dozens of cases, Ken Kohl, a prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, said in a briefing with reporters. Federal law enforcement officials have charged at least 13 people, the Justice Department said in a news release later Friday, several on charges of unlawful entry. Washington police have also arrested dozens, mostly on charges of unlawful entry and curfew violations. The United States Capitol Police announced the arrests of 14 other people on Thursday. Among those charged was Derrick Evans, a newly elected lawmaker from West Virginia, Mr. Kohl said. Mr. Evans posted video to his Facebook page of him filming as he stood among the crowd outside a Capitol door and then rushing inside with them. Another man, Richard Barnett, 60, from Gravette, Ark., was taken into custody and faces three counts. He had posted a picture on social media that showed him sitting at Ms. Pelosi’s desk with his feet up and said he had expected to be arrested....."
The Molotovs and rifle could have planted, and likely were, and there wasn't this much zeal to prosecute city-sacking leftists over the summer.
"Jeering supporters of President Trump accosted Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Friday at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, angrily denouncing the Republican as a “traitor” and a “liar” for voting to formalize President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory. “Traitor! Traitor!” one woman could be heard yelling in a pair of videos shared with The New York Times. “You said you had his back and you didn’t.” The tense scene vivified the continuing crisis unfolding in the Republican Party, as lawmakers, their voters and the nation reel from an insurrection by Trump’s supporters that overtook the Capitol this week while Congress was meeting to count the electoral votes. Graham was far from alone, as elected Republicans who rejected Trump’s attempt to overturn the election faced intense backlash from their own constituents, who have been persuaded by the president’s false claims that he won. Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, also had a nasty airport confrontation with supporters of Trump, while other Republicans were accosted outside the Capitol by voters from their states who had traveled to Washington at the president’s urging to protest his election defeat. After four years of standing beside Trump, including some of his baseless claims of voter fraud, Graham made a clean break Wednesday night after the mob had been cleared from the Capitol, saying “enough is enough.” He seemed to foresee the coming crisis. On Friday, Graham could be seen in another video, posted by Politico’s Daniel Lippman, being escorted out of the waiting area by uniformed police officers as several dozen people harassed him. (An earlier version of this post misspelled Lippman’s surname.) “One day they will not be able to walk down the street,” said one woman, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the initial “Q,” a reference to QAnon, the pro-Trump conspiracy theory. “It is today.” Mindy Robinson, a self-described conservative activist and commentator, posted yet another video in which a woman, apparently her, called Graham a “garbage human being.” “It’s going to be like this forever, wherever you go, for the rest of your life,” the woman taunted."
A CLEAN BREAK, huh?
The above may be as described; however, what it will do is allow more "protective" measures for political tyrants and remove them even further from the people they govern -- like in a COMMUNIST COUNTRY!
I will say this about Trump: even if he was a con man, he still liked to mingle with the people. That made him very dangerous.
Now about those pipe bombs:
"The pipe bombs found on Wednesday afternoon outside the Democratic and Republican party headquarters, blocks from the Capitol, contained crude mechanical timing devices, according to an official familiar with their initial examination, suggesting they were intended to be detonated. It was not clear when they were meant to explode, but thousands of people were in the area that afternoon as a mob encouraged by President Trump stormed the Capitol, where lawmakers had convened to certify President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s election, leaving five people dead. It was also not clear whether the bombs were connected to the siege. The two bombs appeared to be similar, the official said. They were relatively unsophisticated and incorporated a mechanical timer, steel wool and an unknown powder as their explosive fill, the official said. One of the devices was found with a cell phone, which could have been incorporated to detonate the bomb. Bomb squad technicians disabled the devices, which were constructed of steel pipes that appear to be about one and a half inches in diameter and 12 inches long."
Oh, they got photographs! That proves everything!
"GOP mentor says backing Josh Hawley was ‘the worst mistake I ever made’" by Teo Armus Washington Postt, January 8, 2021
WASHINGTON — John Danforth, a former Republican senator from Missouri, had once viewed Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., as a “once-in-a-generation” talent — a young, upstart politician with a promising future in Washington, yet after a mob of Trump supporters burst into the Capitol on Wednesday, Danforth said that campaigning for Hawley to take his old seat was ’'the worst mistake I ever made in my life.’'
Danforth was close to H.W. Bush and probably a pedophile (let's face it, they all are).
Hawley had been the first senator to announce he would object to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, citing baseless claims of mass election fraud. So when the rioters bashed inside, attempting to overturn the election, it was clear he was at fault, Danforth said, “but for him it wouldn’t have happened,” Danforth told the Kansas City Star. ’'He was responsible.’'
No, Pelosi was. It was her operation.
The former senator was far from the only one to lay blame on his former protege. In the span of about five hours on Thursday afternoon, Hawley was denounced by one of his top donors, dropped from a book deal, and lambasted by several Missouri Republicans. Calls for him to resign poured in from the editorial boards of Missouri’s two major newspapers and students at the law school where he was once taught.
His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post late on Thursday, but in a statement to KSDK, the 41-year-old senator was unrepentant about his role in challenging Biden’s electoral college victory.
Hawley raised his fist in solidarity when he strode past Trump supporters outside the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon. Hours later, part of that crowd invaded the building, bringing the certification process to a sudden halt, but when Congress reconvened later in the day, Hawley continued with his objections.
Good for him.
At last, a politician with principles!
After witnessing the “disturbing, deadly insurrection,” Simon & Schuster on Thursday said it had canceled a book deal with the senator, who had been first elected to Congress in 2018.
“We take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom,” a statement from the publishing house said.
Wait until they are told THEY can't pub
lish a BOOK!
The senator had been set to release a book with Simon & Schuster titled “The Tyranny of Big Tech” about how big tech companies ’'represent the gravest threat to American liberty since the monopolies of the Gilded Age.”
They scrubbed his expose of the 21st-century tyrants under which we live?
Hawley responded by decrying the publisher as a “woke mob” and pledging to fight its “cancel culture” in court. “This could not be more Orwellian,” he said in a statement on Twitter. “This is the Left looking to cancel everyone they don’t approve of,” yet much of the backlash against Hawley was in fact coming from other Republicans — and in at least one case, from the man whose donations fueled the senator’s political ascent.
I will say this, the events of this week have laid bare who is a traitor to this country and who is a defender.
David Humphreys, a businessman and onetime conservative Missouri megadonor, said Thursday that Hawley should be censured for his use of “irresponsible, inflammatory, and dangerous tactics.”
“He has now revealed himself as a political opportunist willing to subvert the Constitution and the ideals of the nation he swore to uphold,” Humphreys, president and chief executive of Tamko Building Products, said in a statement to the Missouri Independent.
On Twitter, Shamed Dogan, a Republican Missouri state representative, wrote that he regretted voting for Hawley. “His refusal to accept the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election, even after today’s violence, is an embarrassment,” Dogan said.
Not unsurprisingly, the strongest rebukes on the social media platform came from Democratic lawmakers in Congress.
The Kansas City Star editorial board, which had once endorsed Hawley as the “clear choice” in the 2018 Republican Senate primary, took a more pragmatic view.
“If Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley had a conscience, he’d resign,” the editorial’s headline said. Instead, “he’ll have to be removed.”
If you don't think a PURGE is coming, you better GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!!!!!

Here are your mug shots:
"Internet detectives are identifying scores of pro-Trump rioters at the Capitol. Some have already been fired" by Jaclyn Peiser Washington Post, January 8, 2021
WASHINGTON — As he strolled past gold-framed portraits of past congressional leaders, one rioter who stormed the Capitol in a pro-Trump mob on Wednesday wore a red Trump hat, a commemorative sweatshirt from the president’s inauguration, and a lanyard around his neck.
When a photo of him went viral, it didn’t take Internet sleuths long to realize that the lanyard held his work badge — clearly identifying him as an employee of Navistar Direct Marketing, a printing company in Frederick, Md.
On Thursday, Navistar swiftly fired him.
Lawsuit to come?
He’s not alone among the rioters who wreaked havoc in Congress. While police and the FBI work to identify and arrest members of the mob, online detectives are also crowdsourcing information and doxing them — exposing the rioters to criminal prosecution, but also more immediate action from their bosses.
It's okay of you are part of the Party and a snitch on your fellow citizens, and this is really amping up to SOVIET RUSSIA STUFF!
Since most of the rioters stormed the Capitol maskless, online detectives had a unique opportunity to easily identify them, and many made it even easier — they live-streamed their participation and later bragged about their escapades.
They thought they lived in a free country, and for once should have worn masks.
Using journalists’ photos and videos, as well as live-streamed videos from rioters, untold Twitter users and Instagram accounts have been feverishly working since Wednesday to ID and name the participants who stormed down the halls of the Capitol, ransacking lawmakers’ offices and occupying the House Chamber.
They didn't work that hard to catch Antifas, but then again, they were wearing masks.
Some, like the Instagram account @homegrownterrorists, amassed huge followings in a few hours. When posters believe they’ve identified someone, the images are updated with names and details about the person — like their social-media handle, hometown, or job title.
The FBI has been attempting a similar tactic. The Washington field office tweeted dozens of images of rioters on Thursday, asking the public to help identify people. Through early Thursday, police said they arrested 69 people from at least 20 states and the District for charges ranging from unlawful entry of public property, to violating curfew, and assaulting a police officer. The department is also offering $1,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest, but even for some who haven’t yet been charged with a crime, the consequences have been swift for their crowdsourced identifications.
Go on, be a GOOD NAZI and JUDAS!
Paul Davis, a Dallas-area lawyer, was fired on Thursday from his position as associate general counsel and director of human resources at Goosehead Insurance after a Twitter user posted his Instagram story, showing Davis live-streaming outside the Capitol and talking about wanting to get inside. Davis said in the video that he had been tear-gassed.
Goosehead confirmed Davis’s firing on Twitter. Davis could not be reached for comment.
A Chicago real-estate brokerage firm confirmed that it had fired an agent, Libby Andrews, after receiving a “tremendous amount of outreach” regarding her posts on social media about “storming the Capitol.”
Andrews told the Chicago Tribune that she arrived at the Capitol after people had already broken in and didn’t realize what they were doing was illegal.
“I had no idea people were breaking in and that destruction was happening,” she told the Tribune.
Others have been suspended. A teacher in Allentown, Pa., was put on temporary leave while the school district completes an investigation into his participation in the melee. Brad Rukstales, the chief executive of Cogensia, a marketing data company in Chicago, was arrested on Wednesday for his involvement in the riots. In a statement on Twitter, Cogensia said it had placed Rukstales “on leave of absence while we assess further.”
Rukstales told WBBM that he was “in the wrong place at the wrong time and I regret my part in that.”
“Everything that happened yesterday I think was absolutely terrible,” Rukstales said.
A lieutenant sheriff in Bexar County, Texas, who has been on leave since October as the department investigates allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an inmate, is under a second investigation after she posted multiple images of breaking into the Capitol on her Facebook account, according to KSAT. A Sanford, Fla., firefighter is also on administrative leave and under investigation after he was spotted among the mob in photographs, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Heroes no more!
By early Friday, other videos continued to go viral of rioters boasting about their participation and even identifying themselves.
A recording on Facebook Live from Jenny Cudd, a small-business owner who in 2019 mounted a failed mayoral campaign in Midland, Texas, went viral on Twitter, amassing nearly 4 million views as of early Friday. In it, Cudd boasted about breaking into the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“We did break down Nancy Pelosi’s office door and somebody stole her gavel, and I took a picture sitting in the chair flipping off the camera and that was on Fox News,” she said.

Jon Rappoport notes:
"The events of Wednesday at the Capitol achieved a Jackpot for the Political Left. The televised discussion and debate, in the Joint Session of Congress, about vote fraud, was derailed. When Congress reconvened, at night, no one had the stomach to vigorously assert that Trump won the election. No one cared anymore..... The media will play this tune for the next 20 years. One aim? To destroy any chance Trump can come back in 2024 to run for the presidency. To completely snuff out his future—or the future of his son, Donald, Jr.—in politics. Another aim? To discredit all Trump supporters and cast them as violent lunatics. There is more. Efforts to protest the COVID lockdowns will be equated, by the media and the government, with the Capitol assault. New rounds of brutal COVID lockdowns will be justified on the basis that “there are violent groups in our country who don’t care about infecting other people with the virus. You know who they are. Many of them wear MAGA hats. There is only one way to defeat this pandemic. Shelter in place long enough, until it’s over…” Media, of course, conveniently ignore the months of violent Antifa-led riots, violence, and crime. Media will continue to bury those events behind a wall of outrage against the Capitol break-in. Crackdowns on “dissenting behavior” are now on the table as a National Security issue. Imagine a Trump supporter who lives in a blue state. He looks in his closet today, and sees his MAGA hat and American flag… and wonders what will happen if he puts on that hat and walks down the street… . . "

They cited risk of violent incitement as the social platform has been under growing pressure to take further action against President Trump following Wednesday’s deadly insurrection at the US Capitol.
"Twitter said its policy enables world leaders to speak to the public, but that these accounts “are not above our rules entirely” and can’t use Twitter to incite violence. Trump had roughly 89 million followers. Twitter shares fell roughly 4% in after-hours trading, reflecting concerns that the Trump ban might reduce usage and advertising sales. Jonathan Greenblatt, who heads the Anti-Defamation League, said Friday that banning Trump was an “excellent step” and “a fitting end to a legacy of spewing hate and vitriol.” The ADL was part of a coalition of civil rights and advocacy groups on Friday calling for Twitter to ban Trump’s account. On Friday, Twitter also permanently banned two Trump loyalists — former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Sidney Powell — as part of a broader purge of accounts promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory. The company also said Trump attorney Lin Wood was permanently suspended Tuesday for violating its rules, but provided no additional details....."
The Jew Greenblatt is all for censorship, huh?
That's who BigTech is and works for.
The New York Times claims he died from injuries in pro-Trump rampage after “physically engaging” with pro-Trump rioters who descended on the US Capitol.
Is he the one who opened the gates and let them in?
The Globe is going to get to the bottom of the false flag because the American people are entitled to know how the Capitol was breached and why law enforcement failed to protect the seat of government (law enforcement file because they were understaffed by Mayor Bowser, as planned).
Yes, that needs to be shutdown lest we take our country back and hang them all from lamposts, and the Globe has some gall talking about "alternative realities" after the lies they spew.

On the back page of the front section was a Nation/World Briefs side strip with the following:
Entries will accelerate under Biden, and the Globe website offered up these instead:
Due to US hostility, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threatened to expand his nuclear arsenal and develop more sophisticated atomic weapons systems, saying the fate of relations with the United States depends on whether it abandons its hostile policy -- just as he loses his best ever American friend.
You win one, you lose one, I guess, as the powerful interior minister of Libya’s UN-backed government expressed hopes that bringing stability to his war-torn country would become a top priority for the incoming Biden administration.
That's more than died in Massachusetts all year.
Trump is a passenger on it?

It's all about increasing the number of individuals that can be tested, officials say.
That brief that was buried on page B2 speaks to today's Boston Globe shame, as they placed that piece far from the Spotlight.
"A registered sex offender from Rhode Island who sat in his car in a restaurant parking lot so he could use the business’ Wi-Fi to view child pornography has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, federal prosecutors said Friday. Vincent Siravo, 41, of Westerly, who was already a registered sex offender because of a 2008 conviction for possessing child pornography, was arrested in October 2019 after he was caught in the South Kingstown restaurant’s lot with a laptop computer, according to a statement from US attorney for Rhode Island, Aaron Weisman. He was uncooperative with police and gave them a false name, authorities said. A court-authorized review of the laptop found about 2,200 video files and about 1,600 images depicting child pornography, including files downloaded by someone using the restaurant’s IP address, prosecutors said. He was also sentenced to 15 years of probation and was ordered to pay $5,000 in accordance with the the Justice for Victims Trafficking Act (AP)."
Part of Raimondo's legacy, and other than two pages of coverage earlier, COVID was now where to be found in the Globe as they paid elegies to COVID deaths of those who were 93, 82, 84, and 98.
No word on any co-morbidities or other factors involved.
