Trump invited supporters to "wild" protest, and told them to fight. They did.

No, it is not about the people but about the image. He wants to be seen as standing by the good patriots, a pardon would do that.

it would be an affirmation of  white privilege - Trump's signature.

LOL.  Checked out your link. Looks more like a scene from "Animal House". The pic of the guy at Pelosi's desk is hilarious.

 

Thank you for the link, Dean Wormer.

No one who is a patriot of the USA could like this photo .. or the acts associated with it. How many tens of thousands of brave souls died so these acts should never happen the the U.S.

If the "mostly peaceful protesters" would have been Democrats, trump would have described them as "hateful terrorists"...

Some things take a long time to sink in.  I notice that the Trump supporters on TV are unusually quiet, considering that their boy is front and centre on the world stage at the moment.  Could reality be checking in at long last?

Trump locked out of Twitter for 12 hours.  Hopefully his account will be suspended permanently....

 

[“As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy,” announced Twitter’s Safety account. “This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked. Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.”]

It would seem this was premeditated by 45's cult.

 

There is no reason giuliani and 45 jr should not be under arrest today, after their comments yesterday at the pre-insurrection rally.

Hey, look at the bright side.  They flushed any thought of a Trump 2024 candidacy right down the toilet.

 

And I'm not sure that was accidental, given the lackluster security arrangements.

Facebook will block Trump from posting at least for the remainder of his term

 

Facebook is blocking President Donald Trump from posting to his account for an indefinite amount of time and at least until President-elect Joe Bide assumes the Oval Office, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday.

Now these losers are being hunted down like dogs.  Hopefully with felony charges.

 

It shouldn't be hard to track them down.  They are not that smart and a lot of them are openly bragging on social media.

According that story he's not banned from twitter anymore and the very first statement from him via one of his lackeys included continued denial of the results of the election. 

 

Quote

...Trump’s 12-hour ban from Twitter ended at 7am Washington time. . Trump did not immediately return to the social network. A few hours earlier, his deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, had shared on his behalf a short statement committing to an “orderly transition” of power – albeit maintaining that he “totally disagrees with the outcome of the election”.

Have you noticed, everything in the Newspapers is, Trump supporters mob, but earlier last year, 2020, when Portland and other cities were being burned to the ground, it was BLM peaceful protests this or Antifa peaceful protests that.  Our Main Stream Media has moved so far left, they might as well open their main offices in Beijing.

Strange because Twitter had said they would extend the 12 hour ban until he removed the post.

 

So maybe he removed the post in question?

Going by the responses and reaction of the last few days by the Republican head honcho's, I strongly believe they will kick him out of the GOP on the 21st
