Important thread.

Sounds like at least a couple of dozen insurrections are going to get charged under the UCMJ. Will be interesting to see if they’re active duty, reserve or getting reactivated just for a court martial.

In typical physician fashion, you're a prick.

No puppet. You’re the puppet!

He has deleted the quote as he misunderstood the information. FBI has opened 25 investigations but they are not all under UCMJ

There is alot that people like Junebug can do.

Leave the GOP. There are alot of moderate democrats that will work with reasonable people across the aisle to get things done.

The GOP has become delusional in its thirst for power. Oppressive when it is in control. Obsessed with trying to maintain control with minority support. Totally intrigant when it is not in power. The logical next step was full on fascism and no regard for the legitimacy of its political opponents.

It isn't like this hasn't been clear.

So if you are a patriot, the logical step is to do the right thing and clean out the GOP by leaving it. Most of the policy fears are just overblown scare tactics by the GOP anyway.

Having some fantasy that the GOP isn't going to pay any political price and that a cynical coward like Nikki Haley who snuggled up to trumpism is going to be the next president isn't going to solve anything.

This. Well said.

Ahhh....now we see the real problem... Post-Capitol riot censorship shows 'unelected' companies have 'monopoly power': Rubio

Not repeatedly stoking fears with lie after lie after lie. For decades.

All it takes for Republicans to recognize the evil of monopolies is for those monopolies to just slightly inconvenience Republicans for once. No one should *ever* refer to these rich racist shitheads as populists. How many millions of dollars has Rubio and other Republicans Super-Pacs received from tech oligarchs to fund their regulation blocking/tax cutting austerity measures? Every one of these silver spoon hypocritical frauds can eat shit and die.

The Russian bots left her so now she’s crying about it?

Also, as everyone has said, Twitter and Facebook are not the government.

Social media has been the lifeblood of these people, and now that they're being cut off they're crying like the snowflakes they are. Private corporations have no obligation to provide business to anyone who violates their policies, in this case social media policies. As has been pointed out, the threat of Republicans to retaliate and bring social media companies under government control/regulation smacks of the very socialism they claim to hate. Not that they care, as they no longer have a coherent governing philosophy or platform, and haven't for some time. Under Trump they've already socialized American agriculture (and farmers certainly seem to like it), so why not social media?

Bobstackfan?

"Baked Alaska" what is referred to in twitter parlance as an "edge lord", someone (usually a young middle class white guy) whose entire persona is a grift to attract the most attention to themselves as possible, negatively or positively. He's the rightwing Johnny Knoxville of political social media. Milo Yiannopoulus, Jacob Wahl, Kaitlin Bennett, and Laura Loomer are other examples of this phenomenon.

I ignore this poster as he has a habit on pissing on ya without explanation or sense.
I am still curious as this is the second reference on this topic I have read from him.
Anyone care to enlighten me. What’s his deal?

After I saw Mr. Gionet, I called up some of my old colleagues, who recalled him with a mixture of perplexity and repulsion. He was sensitive and almost desperate to be liked, they said, once getting extremely upset when someone made fun of his thick mustache and blond mullet.

this guy (in camo, of course):

real life trolling!

Does Camopants McFuckface have a blond ponytail?

He is only known by that name in the wild. On the boards, we know him as Bob 2.

Four+ years ago, Shoo reaching the same conclusion as WFR

I am legitimately worried about the next two weeks and especially Inauguration Day.

Some voters, maily evangelicals, will excuse all bad Republican behavior because they are "anti-abortion" and will never vote for a Democrat because they "kill babies.”
