    And once again talking about their method of communication being shut down on one of the most widely watched cable news (but you shouldn't view it as news) shows on the most widely viewed cable news channels.

    Oh never underestimate the siege mentality of Glen Beck, even when he had a national radio and tv program, always going on about "they" trying to silence his message.

    That and Marxism, there's one "Irish Conservative", a few people I know follow on facebook, who uses the same rhetoric when talking about the problems here

    I wish our own politicians were as honest and kept their promises as good as Trump did. People might not have liked what he promised but he lived up to what he promised.

    If you bothered to read the link you posted it would be abundantly clear to you that this is not the case.

    His overarching promise was to "make America great again" He failed miserably.
    Instead he made America a laughing stock on the world stage, he undermined the democratic system, and incited the violent resulting in a mob taking over the seat of government.

    Ah yes, Glenn Beck aka Crazy Colonel Saunders comes out of the woodwork.

    He is a complete charlatan and, for that matter, one of the worst actors I have ever seen

    Ayanna Pressley's COS saying that panic buttons were ripped off out of the congresswoman's office before the Capitol was breached!

    Article paywalled (Boston Globe) but quoted here

    https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/kwc84i/according_to_chief_of_staff_the_panic_buttons_in/


    "As people rushed out of other buildings on the Capitol grounds, staffers in Pressley’s office barricaded the entrance with furniture and water jugs that had piled up during the pandemic. Groh pulled out gas masks and looked for the special panic buttons in the office. “Every panic button in my office had been torn out — the whole unit,” she said, though they could come up with no rationale as to why. She had used them before and hadn’t switched offices since then. As they were escorted to several different secure locations, Groh and Pressley and her husband tried to remain calm and vigilant — not only of rioters but of officers they did not know or trust, she said."


    This is crazy, they wanted mass murder.

    As more details come out about the attack, it just gets darker and darker.

    Don.Jr wants Elon Musk to create a social media website, because he "...put manned people into space"

    It's always other people's money, why doesn't Don Junior or Senior front the cash and create their own platform?

    That's all well and good for sheep-shooting Don Jr. to suggest, but Musk would still have to put the standard legal content limitations and moderation policies in place to comply with the T&Cs of the app stores and web hosts he'd have to use.

    They don't actually have any. It's all a fascade of debt.

    Now that his political future is in tatters , I wonder will Don Jr revert to his previous "American Psycho Chic" style and get rid of the "Deer Hunter Casual" look he has been sporting in recent years as he attempted to build up his "Hey , Check out my beard and Chinos!, I'm just like you guys" credentials.

    That's obvious to anyone who wants to see it, but for all those who think he's being censored and is a great businessman how do they explain Don not creating his own platform?

    Surely that is the obvious thing for him to do.

    Like father like son. No filter between his thoughts and cakehole.

    Given Musk's previous issues with social media, including calling people paedophiles, I don't think that would really bother Musk all that much.

    I mean in fairness to Don.Jr, them teaming up with Musk would be a perfect match made in the fiery pits of Hell.

    What I mean is that any new social media platform, by Musk or Trump or anyone else, will have to follow the same T&Cs that got Parler removed, and the same ones that Twitter and FB follow. So there's no real advantage to pumping hundreds of millions into building it, when it's not going to deliver the ability to consistently lie, undermine democracy and organise sedition.

    Given what's been told about the architecture of Parler, it really seems like a trump project from the ground up. However if you were to create something to entrap those far right nuts, they couldn't have done a better job

    https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7vqew/the-hacker-who-archived-parler-explains-how-she-did-it-and-what-comes-next

    "donk_enby was able to scrape and capture and archive nearly the entire content of the website after it became clear that hundreds of Trump supporters had uploaded potentially incriminating photos and videos of themselves to the platform, many filming from inside the Capitol itself "
