Trump calls for protesting if prosecutors go after him

Trump Calls On Massive Protests If Prosecutors Go After Him And Offers Pardons To Jan. 6ers

"Former President Donald Trump Saturday night called on his followers to stage massive protests in multiple cities should prosecutors act against him. He also said he would offer pardons to those charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol that he incited in a last-gasp attempt to remain in power.

“If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere, because our country and our elections are corrupt,” he said to a rally audience in Conroe, Texas, reading from teleprompters set up on either side of his lectern."

I think it's more that he's promising to pardon the January 6th Insurrectionists if he runs and wins in 2024. It's his way of convincing them to keep quiet. "Don't rat be out and you'll only need to ensure prison until I'm back in office. Then I'll pardon you."

Nevermind that the people would need to a) endure prison for 3 years, b) hope that Trump was reelected, and c) hope that Trump makes good old his promise. (And that last one is the shakiest of all.)

I mean, if you actually watch the clip, he's clear that he means if he becomes president again. It'd be one thing if he genuinely didn't understand how pardons worked, but this is far worse. He's heavily implying that anyone who breaks the law in an attempt to get him into power will be able to avoid punishment so long as he actually gets the power.

Hell, even if you ignore the implication and only think about his literal meaning it's not funny, it's frightening. People beat police, smashed windows, and broke into the capitol building with weapons, but the former president and presumed GOP nominee for the next presidential election thinks they deserve pardons. Why? Because they broke the law for him.

He was literally ashamed to be associated with them.

Trump Dangles Pardons for Jan. 6 Rioters if He Wins in 2024

"Donald Trump pledged to dole out pardons to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters if he wins back the White House in 2024.

The announcement came during a lengthy Saturday evening address to a crowd of supporters in Conroe, Texas.

“If I run [in 2024] and I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly, we will treat them fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly,” Trump stated.

The twice impeached ex-president went on to rail against the House select committee tasked with investigating the happenings of that dark winter day.

“This hasn’t happened to all of the other atrocities that took place recently. Nothing like this has happened. What that ‘unselect’ committee is doing and what the people are doing that are running those prisons, it’s a disgrace,” Trump told the crowd. “It’s a disgrace.”"

This is fucking crazy. In this same rally he also threatened massive street protests in a bunch of major cities if the "racist crazy corrupt people" going after him try anything. This fucking punk is straight up threatening civil unrest if they indict him. He must be cornered. He deliberately crossed the line in this speech.

I just watched his Texas rally, he’s already introducing the idea that the midterms will be or are already stolen to his base. He put it out there in Arizona too when he spoke there not too long ago. He’s deliberately warming up his base to the idea so that when November comes, he can say something to the degree of “See folks, I’ve been saying it all along. The radical left took this from us.” This is why people need to get out and vote, there are some really high stakes here. I know it’s dangerous to mentally go down this path, but I have some very real concerns that if Trump gets enough of his supporters in place during Midterms, then those newly elected officials will ram as much legislation as they can through 2024 to change rules and policies to work in their favor so that if Trump does in fact run and whoever his democratic opponent wins, it will all be technically “legal” to challenge the results and install Trump whether he actually won or not.

70 Percent Don't Want Donald Trump

70 Percent of Adults Don't Want Donald Trump to Run in 2024: Poll

"he results of a new poll do not bode well for former President Donald Trump's chances to return to the White House.

The poll, conducted by Marquette University Law School of 1,000 adults nationwide and released on Thursday, found that more than 70 percent of respondents don't want to see Trump mount another run for the White House."

30% of the eligible voting public is more than enough to elect someone.

  • 80% of the public is registered.
  • 80% of the registered actually vote.
  • The EC allows the Rs to win the presidency with 45% of the voting public.
  • In other words, about 30% of those eligible to vote.

~240 million are eligible to vote in the US. ~74 million voted for Trump. (30.8%)

It's like they went to a movie and for some strange reason thought that the villain was the good guy and the good guy was the villain.

How often does that happen in the movies? You went to a James Bond movie and were thinking the whole time through, that James Bond was the villain and [Insert Bond Villain Here] was the good guy?

What is the matter with these people? How do they not pick up on all of Trump's bad guy cues?


  • He's obese.
  • He has laughably phony hair.
  • He has laughably phony skin.
  • He can't speak a grammatically correct and coherant sentence.
  • He can't speak without lying.
  • He is on his third wife and cheated on all of them.
  • He admires all the worlds authoritarians and has contempt for all its democracies.
  • His every move where the environment is concerned is to reduce or eliminate protections.
  • He gave big permanent tax cuts to the wealthy and small temporary ones to everyone else.
  • His charitable foundation was closed for fraud and forced to pay a fine.
  • His online university was closed for fraud and forced to pay a fine.
  • He only eats junk food.
  • He has bankrupted every business he has ever owned.
  • He refused to pay his workers and contractors, forcing them to take him to court and then delaying for years until the give up.
  • He couldn't even make money running a casino.
  • He lost an election and destroyed democracy trying to steal it back.
  • He incited an insurrection.
  • He lied and cheated on his tax returns and loan applications, inflating or deflating the same property which ever way would most benefit him

Am I missing anything?

Did I miss any good qualities?

You could not invent a worse villain.


30% of Americans will always openly embrace fascism because they crave having power over a "lesser" class of citizen. It's narcissists and sociopaths all the way down.

The history of fascism in America should be brought to the surface. Not many people seem to know about the support for Hitler and Nazi Germany in the 30s or how leaders of big business and banks supported authoritarian take-over of the US.

itler took inspiration from American race laws and admired the antisemite Ford. For some of us, it is still weird to see humans categorised as races.

Trump's fake electors plot in 7 states

 Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw fake electors plot in 7 states

"Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme."

Integral to the Jan 6 plan The scheme was integral to Trump's plan to get then-Vice President Mike Pence to throw out Biden's electors and replace them with the GOP electors on January 6 when Congress counted the electoral votes. It has also come under renewed scrutiny by the January 6 select committee and state attorneys general, raising questions about the involvement of Trump's campaign and whether any laws were broken.

Committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi told reporters Thursday the panel is looking into whether there was a broader conspiracy or involvement from the Trump White House in the creation or submission of these fake electors. "That's a concern" Thompson said. In its subpoena letter sent to Giuliani on Tuesday, the House committee specifically references his efforts to convince state legislatures to overturn election results.

The document cites Giuliani's comments from December 2020 in which he publicly urged lawmakers in Michigan to award the state's electoral votes to Trump. One of the pro-Trump electors from Pennsylvania, Sam DeMarco, told CNN there was a last-minute dispute, where the state's GOP electors pushed Trump campaign officials to add legal caveats to the fake certificate to say they were only electors-in-waiting, if Trump's legal challenges prevailed.

The fake documents from Pennsylvania and New Mexico ultimately contained these caveats, but the documents from the other five states explicitly claimed, falsely, that the pro-Trump electors were the rightful electors. It's not clear that any of the fake electors themselves participated in strategy sessions with top Trump campaign brass. But both Maddock from Michigan and DeMarco from Pennsylvania have said they were in direct contact with members of the Trump campaign. Many of the players involved in the scheme, including Maddock, stand by their actions and are still pushing the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Giuliani, a Trump spokesperson and a representative from Stand Up Michigan did not respond to CNN's requests for comment.

Listen to Meshawn Maddock describe the Trump campaign's involvement in the fake elector plot at a recent speech in Michigan the full audio news here: https://youtu.be/wGSI9O_zE1M


I don't understand how this isn't an attempted coup. They had a plot to overthrow the results of a legitimate election and even started carrying out that plot by selecting illegitimate electors.

Presumably, if Mike Pence had gone along with it, the illegitimate electors would been seated, voted and he would have supported the illegitimate results. After that, everything is completely FUBAR. The courts would get involved and, if it's not sorted out, who knows what happens on January 20th. Maybe things eventually get sorted out and Biden becomes president anyway, but not before our democracy's legitimacy is shredded.

But, I guess we're just going to let this go because I guess it would be too "divisive" to punish politicians who plot to overthrow the US government. So, now the next ambitious fellow (or the same ones) can plot their overthrow knowing if he succeeds, he wins, and if he fails, nothing much happens.

There was also:


  • Trump and Giuliani's extortion plot with Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden in exchange for releasing the $400 million in military aid that Trump had blocked.

  • Giuliani somehow getting his hands on Hunter Biden's emails from a small-town computer repair shop guy whose cover story fell apart under light questioning. Most likely Giuliani got the emails from this guy.

  • Trump's attempt to invoke the insurrection act on June 2, 2020 to deploy the US military against peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square.

  • The "Durham Report" scam.


And those are just some of the ones we know about.

 From Trump to Giuliani to everyone in between:


CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


18 U.S.C. § 371 provides that: If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.


Rudy Giuliani oversaw state effort to send fake electors to declare Trump victory in 2020, report says

"Rudy Giuliani and other Trump campaign officials were involved in overseeing efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors in seven states, according to US media reports.

The news comes just days after the House select committee investigating the 6 January Capitol riot issued a subpoena to Mr Giuliani."

Rudy was responsible for a lot of decisions that made 9/11 worse.

He was the one who decreed that the NYC Emergency Management Office would be in the World Trade Center, even though a site in the Bronx was determined to be more secure and less likely to be a target of an attack. The NYPD and many others protested the choice since you don't want a terrorism response center placed inside a likely target (much less a target which had already been bombed once before).

So why was it there? Because Rudy wanted it to be within walking distance of his offices. And Rudy's Mistress (Judith Nathan) had been barred from the Mayor's Residence.

He was the one who oversaw a no-bid contract to replace first responders' radios. These radios were deemed to be faulty early in 2001, forcing first responders to use decades old analog radios with incompatible frequencies and shorter ranges. The 9/11 Commission determined that these radios were the reason many first responders never got an evacuation call and were killed in the WTC collapse. Replacing those radios was a low priority for Guiliani, because not only were they not replaced the same year, they weren't replaced for several years after the the 9/11 Commission released their report.

Instead of allowing FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, or OSHA to manage recovery efforts he put the relatively unknown NYC Department of Design and Construction in charge and made the feds go through there.

When it was discovered that toxic chemicals from the WTC (like asbestos) were spread over a much larger area than initially estimated, instead of sending in the EPA to affect cleanup Guiliani instead left it up to individual building managers to handle it.

When the EPA tried to make sure everyone at Ground Zero was wearing respirators Guiliani interfered with those efforts. This lead to many workers developing lung diseases.

Members of FDNY believe Guiliani prioritized the recovery of precious metals from the World Trade Center site, over the recovery of bodies, leaving victims and first responders to either be buried forever or dug up and disposed of as refuse during construction.

"America's Mayor" was all just PR smoke and mirrors.

During the 1992 White Riot of New York, Guiliani led a large group of Drunk off duty police officers to remove the first Black Mayor of New York, David Dinkins. Many of the off duty officers stormed the City hall building , blocking councilmembers and city personnel from entering.


FAST FORWARD TO 2022.....

The House committee specifically references Guiliani efforts to convince state legislatures to overturn election results. The document cites Giuliani's comments from December 2020 in which he publicly urged lawmakers in Michigan to award the state's electoral votes to Trump.


Not mention about Trump's and Giuliani's ties with opioid crisis.

Trump admitted to being responsible for the Capitol riot part 2

what Trump did say in his speech -


Trump used the word 'Fight' or "fighting" like, 20 times in his speech, his previous speech givers were all talking about fighting and resisting. He said peacefully exactly once. And for some fucked up cultish reason Republicans can ONLY see that one word.

And for the fighting remarks, all of them were inflammatory, to cause anger in his base- but listen to some of the bullshit he said on that day;


"We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved."


Telling the people to not admit defeat - even though they obviously lost, and that Trump still won't concede.

"And Rudy, you did a great job. He's got guts. You know what? He's got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party. He's got guts. He fights, he fights


Here he is equating being strong and Republican - and then reiterating that Rudy was strong because he fought.

"John is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country, and he looked at this and he said, "What an absolute disgrace that this can be happening to our Constitution."


Bringing attention to the thing these 'patriots' love - The Constitution - and claiming its under attack (by 'radical leftist democrats')

"Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election."


ALL THE PRESSURE is now on Pence. This painted a MASSIVE target on his back, and likely led up to his tweet later blaming Pence, leading to the crowds to chant 'Hang Mike Pence'.

"All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it. We're supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution, and protect our constitution.


Literally saying the top lawyers in the country apparently told him that Pence needed to break the Constitution, in order to save the Constitution. Again. Trump is literally saying "Breaking the US Constitution to keep me in power, is perfectly fine because the 'top lawyers' told me it would protect the US Constitution."

"And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. I said: "Mike, that doesn't take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage." And then we're stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot and we have to live with that for four more years. We're just not going to let that happen."


Telling his people they can't stand for 'this' and can't let it (Biden taking the White House, the election being certified) happen

"Many of you have traveled from all across the nation to be here, and I want to thank you for the extraordinary love. That's what it is. There's never been a movement like this, ever, ever. For the extraordinary love for this amazing country, and this amazing movement, thank you."


After this point, the crowd chants "We love Trump". Not "USA" or "We love America". They chant "We love Trump."

"And don't worry, we will not take the name off the Washington Monument. We will not cancel culture. You know they wanted to get rid of the Jefferson Memorial. Either take it down or just put somebody else in there. I don't think that's going to happen. It damn well better not. Although, with this administration, if this happens, it could happen. You'll see some really bad things happen. They'll knock out Lincoln too, by the way. They've been taking his statue down. But then we signed a little law. You hurt our monuments, you hurt our heroes, you go to jail for 10 years, and everything stopped. You notice that? It stopped. It all stopped."


Literally outright lying by saying Democrats want to rewrite history, and apparently change the name of the Washington Monument (personally, I've never seen anything regarding it), and even get rid of Lincoln. I need to reiterate - this entire paragraph from Trump is trying to rile up the people present.


Look at the bolded text again. He is LITERALLY telling them that Bad things will happen under Biden, and being vague enough to not need examples, but with the examples he did provide, we KNOW the Right love and get emotional over their monuments and statues - he did this to get them angry.

"We want to go back and we want to get this right because we're going to have somebody in there that should not be in there and our country will be destroyed and we're not going to stand for that.


Literally saying Biden not only stole the Presidency (again), but that it will lead to the downfall and destruction of the USA, and that they shouldn't let that happen.

Trump admitted to being responsible for the Capitol riot.

 Kevin McCarthy reportedly told Republicans in a phone call last year that Trump admitted to being partially responsible for the Capitol riot. Now McCarthy says he doesn't remember that call.

"In the days after January 6, 2021, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Republicans in a private phone call that then President Donald Trump admitted that he shared some responsibility for the Capitol riot, according to CNN."

robably they would have tried to frame it as all the democrats fault in various ways. I believe that is the conclusion they would have started with for the civil unrest in 2020. They would have probably then tried to use the one to justify the other, once again turning the, well, insurrectionists into heroes.

I'm of course not saying any of this is valid. It is not, but giving anyone McCarthy would appoint a chance to speak and he will start lying in whatever ways he think helps their party the most.

At this point, we shouldn’t be expecting anything aside from unadulterated corruption from the Republican Party. They have been exposed, pursuing a failed factional power grab and they’re not done.

Get ready, folks. The next 2 years will be a huge shift in the American government. Either the Democrats will get their hands dirty and deal with this or the GOP will take the House/Senate by any means possible, this year. Then, they will elect Trump as king in 2024.

This isn’t hyperbole, it’s what they’ve shown us.

At this point, we can trust nothing that comes out of the mouth of a republican, and the same holds true for many democrats. This was a planned coup. How we haven't jailed a bunch of politicians is beyond me...

...unless everyone is busy covering for one another. I include some democrats in "everyone".

We all saw what happened on January 6. We saw Trump's speech, we saw his militant, wanna-be allies, we saw the result. Investigate what? It's all on video.

The problem here is that, like voting, republicans are viewing laws as suggestions. Too many democrats are seeing the law in the same way. Is the law so nuanced and subtle?

Let's use an easy example: if a black man stood in front of a crowd of black people and said "we're all going to head down to the Capitol and fight like hell" (along with a long list of other incendiary comments), would the process of charging, trying, and jailing those involved take this long? It'd be a slam dunk case.

Which it is...but for a bunch of self-entitled, old white men...it's not.

This cluster-fuck of an "investigation" will simply lead to more violence. Maybe that's the plan.


CNN Unearths Audio Of Kevin McCarthy Saying Trump Admitted Responsibility For Riot

"House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said days after the U.S. Capitol riot that then-President Donald Trump had admitted to him that he bore some responsibility for the violence that unfurled among his supporters on Jan. 6 last year.

“I say he has responsibility. He told me personally that he does have some responsibility. I think a lot of people do,” McCarthy said in a Jan. 12 interview with Bakersfield, California, radio station KERN that CNN’s “K-File” unearthed and released on Friday."

The Soundcloud link:

https://soundcloud.com/louis-amestoy/kevin-mccarthy-explains-impeachment-vote

2:30, 5:15 11:00-14:00 discussion on bipartisan commission


  • Trump was inciting his supporters for months after the election.

  • Trump then asked all his supporters to come to Washington DC on January 6th and promises January 6th "will be wild!"

  • On January 6th, Trump incites them some more in a morning rally in Washington DC. He tells his supporters to "fight like hell." What does "fight like hell" mean? Well, another one of Trump's speakers that morning, Rudy Giuliani, adds context to Trump's "fight like hell" statement by telling Trump's supporters to engage in "trial by combat."

  • After inciting his supporters in Washington DC and getting them even more angry that morning, Trump finally tells his supporters to march to the Capitol.

t's amazing how the GOP has basically individually attacked each one of these points, but only individually because they'd look ridiculous trying to explain away the entire chain of events.

For example, Trump's and Giuliani's speeches on 1/6 are treated like isolated events separate from any previous context. They'll explain it away as typical politically charged language in speeches and give a bunch of examples where Dems have used similar language. "Oh he said to fight? Well here's a speech OAC gave to a group of college kids saying to fight for their education. GOT EM!"

Trump cuts interview short after asked about election lies

 Pressed on his election lies, former President Trump cuts NPR interview short

"While there were some irregularities, there were none of the irregularities which would have risen to the point where they would have changed the vote outcome in a single state," Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said Sunday on ABC's This Week. "The election was fair, as fair as we have seen. We simply did not win the election, as Republicans, for the presidency. And if we simply look back and tell our people don't vote because there's cheating going on, then we're going to put ourselves in a huge disadvantage."

Wow, I must honestly say that was relatively mild, for Trump standards.

You hear him lose it when he's pressed, with nonsensical sentences, like:

We had many cases. In fact, they say, and I can't testify because it's been through a lot of systems, a lot of different systems. But they say, and they say very strongly, the judges just — nobody's really gotten a chance to look."

And he falls back on his usual tell for a fabrication:

"So I wanted to file it myself. They said, "Sir, you don't have standing.""

But fully goes rampage when it comes Biden getting 80 million votes. My guess is that is the point where some handler next to Trump started signaling to him to cut the interview of...

I wonder why he keeps referring to "the findings" and "reports" that just don't exist. He keeps insisting that if the courts would just look at these same things he's looking at it would be obvious.

I think it's pretty fucking clear what is going on here: Trump has surrounded himself with nothing but bootlickers and they keep presenting him single page documents with large pictures, maybe written in crayon, which he has consumed, feeding him nonsense.

Dude is literally not able to discern reality from the bullshit he demands his lackeys give him.

I think the worst Trump snip in this vein happened to Peter Alexander. In March 2020, he asked Trump this question:

“What do you say to Americans, who are watching you right now, who are scared?”

That was the whole question. No snarky or adversarial context. And it's an easy question, isn't it? It's an open invitation for the president to engage people directly and demonstrate some understanding of their hardship and sacrifice. Hell, you could use the opportunity to push pretty much any agenda you wanted in the answer, as long as you could couch it in terms of people's wellbeing. I imagine that politicians at every level of government had a round already in the chamber for this question. My county dogcatcher probably had a response prepped for it. Given the crisis of the time, this was a softball pitched slow and right down the middle.


Trump's response, in its entirety:

“I say that you’re a terrible reporter. That’s what I say. I think it’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people.”

Inhuman cowardice and flippancy.

Kaitlan would really trigger him. There’s the story where he wanted his Press Secretary at the time, Stephanie Grisham, to to boot Kaitlan Collins from briefing room before a late March 2020 press conference because he was upset nobody from Fox or other right wing networks were there, and Trump was furious at Grisham when she refused. And then the following month he tried to have her switch seats to sit in the back. .

Read NPR's full interview with former President Donald Trump

Out of this interview comes the (accidentally revealed) truth.

Trump thinks the election was rigged because he literally cannot understand how Biden got more votes.

A man with historically low approval ratings cannot understand how the other guy got more votes.

Notice he linked Biden's votes to his crowd sizes? "How come Biden couldn't attract 20 people for a crowd? How come when he went to speak in different locations, nobody came to watch, but all of a sudden he got 80 million votes?"

Followed by Inskeep's zinger: "If you'll forgive me, maybe because the election was about you."

Could it be because Biden didn’t actually have rallies with a pile of mouth breathers shoulder to shoulder during a fucking respiratory pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone at that point?

Stolen Election 2020

 Republicans in at least three states filed forged elector letters

hey will defraud and steal the election, it will be obvious and verifiable to foreign press and voters, but some detail will make it Constitutional, freezing the Military from being able to act. Citizens will take to the streets only to be called Antifa and BLM Communists, and the Republicans get to start shooting. Most citizens will want the violence to stop, so they will side w/the police state.

After 2020, Trump backers forged election docs in three states

This could be a sign of things to come. It's very concerning that Republicans would resort to such measures in order to try and win the election.

First, were these efforts legal? Groups of Republicans in three states signed their names to forged documents, pretended they were real, and sent them to government agencies. I'm not an attorney and can't speak with any authority on whether this constituted fraud, but I'll be eager to learn what legal experts have to say about the schemes.

Second, did these GOP groups have any outside help? The materials out of Wisconsin and Michigan, for example, were practically identical, with matching formatting and fonts. Was this an amazing coincidence or was there some kind of behind-the-scenes coordination? If so, who played an organizing role?

And third, exactly how many states featured pro-Trump Republicans creating forged election materials? We previously knew of one; now we know of three.

A year after election, RNC still spending hundreds of thousands to cover Trump's legal bills

”This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before.”

Donald Trump, December 2nd 2020


As usual, they couldn’t find the fraud they wanted, so they committed the fraud they needed.

More than a year after the 2020 presidential election, the GOP is still covering numerous legal bills for the benefit of former President Donald Trump - and the price tag is ruffling the feathers of some longtime GOP donors who are now critical of Trump.

The law firm payments haven't sat well with some Trump critics within the GOP. "It is very disheartening to see RNC donors funding Trump's legal bills," former Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Fla., told ABC News.

In the final days of Trump's presidency, Trump told McDaniel he was leaving the GOP and creating his own political party, only to back down after McDaniel threatened to stop paying Trump's legal bills for his post-election challenges, according to a book by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.

Marjorie Three Names Banned from Facebook and Twitter in 24 hours

 Marjorie Taylor Greene suspended from Facebook hours after Twitter ban

"Marjorie Taylor Greene, the right-wing congresswoman famous for her support of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, Covid-19, and other issues, has been temporarily suspended from Facebook hours after being banned permanently from Twitter."

Here comes the onslaught of right wing pundits confusing a “terms of service agreement” with the US Constitution.

Spreading COVID misinformation while she owns stocks in COVID vaccine manufacturers.


MTG didn't lose her First Amendment privileges. She lost her privileges of convenience and amplification in reaching millions of people offered by private companies. She's still fully capable of starting her own facebook/twitter competition, or standing on the street corner and yelling her nonsense to whomever will listen.

She's got her free speech, she just doesn't get a bullhorn provided by somebody else anymore. Womp womp.


Marjorie Taylor Greene Loses Access To Facebook One Day After Twitter Ban

"Just one day after her personal Twitter account was permanently suspended, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she has temporarily lost access to posting and commenting on Facebook due to a similar policy violation.

The far-right, conspiracy theorist Republican announced her suspension on Gettr, a smaller conservative social media site, on Monday, calling Facebook’s brief ban, which lasts 24 hours, “beyond censorship of speech.”"


Maxine Waters Calls Marjorie Taylor Greene An 'Extremist Radical' Who Should Not Be In Congress

"Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) branded Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) an "Extremist Radical" who has "no business" in the House after the congresswoman was permanently banned from Twitter.

Speaking on MSNBC's PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton on Sunday, the senior Democrat lashed out at Republican Greene, calling her "dangerous."

Rep. Waters told Rev. Sharpton: "Let me just say this, when you talk about congresswoman Greene, you're talking about the kind of extremist radical that is now in the House of Representatives who is basically, you know, dangerous.""

Marjorie before she even took office said there should be no peaceful transition of power between Trump and Biden. Then she tweeted about being sworn in on Jan 3rd, adding 'See you on Jan 6th.' Patrick Maloney said Taylor-Greene was 'gleeful' while the mob was attacking the Capitol.

She's done nothing but attack and mock democracy since 2020, even before that she was harrassing the survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. That's not even in her state. She made a trip down there to do just that.

She's not just a disgrace to her office, she's an agent saboteur.

Greene's opponent in that election was 'mysteriously' harrassed, recieving death threats, and finally moved away. His wife divorced him, because she couldn't take it.

And that wasn’t even her original district. She moved purely to get a better shot at winning because she had ZERO chance in her home district.

Marjorie Greene got two percent more of the vote running unopposed than the previous republican in her district did when running against a living, breathing, human.

Although voter turnout increased in 2020, that was true nationwide.
