So many people there are going to get infected and bring it back to their communities and families. An elderly Dem congresswoman who is recovering from lung cancer has contracted Covid from one of the Republicans who refused to wear masks as they were huddled together in hiding.

sne Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Trump and Pompeo being busy in the last remaining days of their reign. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has now stated that the United States now sees Iran as home to al-Qaeda headquarters. The terrorist group, which was founded by, among others, Usama Bin Laden, has not been linked to Iran before. The statement comes the day after the United States once again branded Cuba a terrorist-supporting state and also classified the Houthi rebels active in Yemen as terrorists. A quick look at Pompeo's twitter and he seem like a man on a mission as far as Iran is concerned. Wonder if they will have time do something really reckless and stupid before they are kicked out.

Stating we don't want violence after every sentence doesn't mean you are still threatening them in the rest of the sentence. Also, is he the least eloquent world leader of all time? He can't actually formulate proper sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Trump this time and he’s a bad guy so it’s easier to rationalize, but we’ve gone from Alex Jones to the President of the United States in what, 18 months? It's a social media site. People get banned for much less than inciting violence. The guy holds a press conference broadcasted to millions damn near every day, he isn't being censored.

Brumerican Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Kind of a weird statement considering the US just sold a load of hi tech military hardware to the Saudis (Same Saudis as seen in movies such as 9/11) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Senior legal council at PBS caught with his pants down. He could previously be found online but has taken his profile down, poor baby. Molotov cocktails and dumb americans, a dangerous mix. Luckily not where he lives. He's probably not gonna get as many dinner party invites after this, poor fella. It is project veritas, so edited for effect, but they got him good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is going to argue in support of this, try justify it from some grounds of moral or ethical superiority instead of denying objective reality (this has pot vs kettle issues, to start). One could also try the tactical and strategic angle too if feeling particularly brave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m completely comfortable with an idiot inciting violence against democracy being censored by a social media platform. He’s not just a different view point or belief system to the (laughably) labelled left, he either knew what he was doing, or is so thick he’s a danger to himself. Either way, it was the right thing to do. People died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Trump's banks are deserting him now. Deutsche Bank are ditching him. They were the only bank who would touch him after he went bankrupt apparently. Various other organisations also pulling away from him and other senators who tried to block the vote certification. You get the impression that a lot of people who thought the were untouchable and could act with impunity are actually quite vulnerable if they take things too far.
