Penalty for Provoking a Violent Insurrection - a 12 Hour Twitter Ban


Penalty for Provoking a Violent Insurrection - a 12 Hour Twitter Ban: 
Twitter and Facebook have announced they will lock President Trump out of his accounts for 12 and 24 hours respectively, with Twitter warning the President that he could face permanent suspension, should he continue tweeting baseless election conspiracy theories and inciting violence.

So, a US President, provokes a violent insurrection against his own country - and gets banned from using Twitter for a half a day?  Smart move on the part of social media if you ask me, because I’m absolutely positive that after a 12-hour Twitter suspension, President Trump will finally see the error of his ways - and apologize to the nation for his misbehavior.  


Why, that reminds me of way back when Susan Collins said she voted against President Trump’s removal from office, because she was also sure that after being impeached, “the President had learned his lesson.”  Well, in honor of that insightful statement, I move that we designate every January 6th - as “Susan Collins Day.” 

 

Anyway, so apparently the only punishment for fomenting an insurrection and an attempted coup against the United States, is that you get suspended from Facebook and Twitter for 12 hours?  Gee, then I wonder what happens if you actually overthrow the US government - does Twitter suspend you for a full month?  Seems kinda harsh.


Hell, I remember Trump's 2016 inauguration speech, when he informed us about all the horrors of the "American carnage” he saw.  Why, who knew he was actually referring to the final days of his presidency?  Now personally, I don’t really care whether or not they lock Trump out of Facebook or Twitter.  I mean, why bother lock up his messages?  For God’s sake, let’s lock up the damn messenger.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million?  Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.”  Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment.  Now, that really takes some skill!  Talk about “The Art of the Deal!”  I’m totally impressed.  Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.”   I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court abo...
