I believe in what Rousseau said: "I disagree with what you said but I will defend to the death your right to say it." To that end, I think I don't like the banning of Parler. I say "I think" because I really know nothing about it. If they were actively using it to plot this coup, that's different, but if it's just a lot of right-wing conspiracy theorists blabbing their usual crazy bullshit, who cares?
Fascism Scholar: Strongman Trump Radicalized His Supporters; Turning This Back Will Be Very Hard. Trump wanted to use our own U.S. military for his coup January 6th.
I'm guessing he resigned under pressure and tried to buy some leverage on his way out ...maybe with a pardon deal from Pence...this is interesting
My wife and I were talking about the consequences of the impeachment. One aspect that many of us don't realize is that trump gets a pension and free med benefits if he leaves without impeachment. I don't want to support his sorry ass and if he is impeached later rather than sooner Congress should do it. I wonder if he is entitled to secret service protection if impeached? That would cost more than his after office benefits. If he accepts a resignation, then we pay.
Who said anything about the government? Not me. I mean Google, Apple, and Amazon dropping the service from their platforms. Banning. I didn't say censoring.
Eh, you are right. I assumed this was the prior report that as many as 10 in the House would vote yes. My bad! barfo
