monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I wish you would quit acting like Wednesday capitol riot was a regular peaceful protest outside the capitol building which is protected in the first amendment.

They was in areas they were not supposed to be in and breached the building, ran riot in capitol buildings, creating mayhem and death in their wake. All of which is illegal.

Advocating to overturn democratically run elections by force is illegal as well.

I can't imagine the contract that says "S&S will adhere to this contract no matter what the writer does or does not do before the book is published."

Perhaps Mr. Biden and his VP whore could step down instead in order to help the country heal.

That doesn't make any sense, as Trump was President when the riots occurred, and was the one who encouraged the rioters.

You’re the stupid one.

Kent State was against peaceful protesters, these people assaulted the capitol. They didn’t stand outside singing songs and waving placards, they used violence.

I wonder what you all's thoughts are on calls for impeachment in Trump's remaining days in office.

Just hours after Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump's personal account on Friday, the president began tweeting from the official account, @POTUS.

Almost immediately, Twitter removed the series of tweets, in which Trump railed against the tech company, Democrats, what he referred to as the "radical left," and Section 230, a law that gives internet companies the right to police their platforms as they see fit.

Twitter also said it's limiting the use of @POTUS or @WhiteHouse — both official accounts operated by the US government — and that it isn't currently planning to suspend them, but that it may do so in the future "if it was really needed to alleviate harm," according to CBS News' Musadiq Bidar.

His campaign account @TeamTrump was also suspended after an attempt to send out a message from the president — a tweet that was deleted.

He wouldn't be removed as the Senate wouldn't have time to hold a trial but he'd be the first president to be impeached twice.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today she has spoken to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about preventing President Donald Trump from initiating military actions or a nuclear strike.

i believe the second impeachment would include a provision whereby 45 would not be allowed to run for president in 2024 ...

Anyone who does not see Wednesday's events as one of the most disgusting things ever to happen to our Republic at the hands of AMERICANS...is an idiot.
These people are so low...contempt cannot reach them.

Pelosi to House Democrats:
"This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike."
They had to child-proof the damn nukes.

Twitter Bans Trump Permanently

Facebook, Google and Twitter are staring down the prospect of harsh new regulations in Washington, as politically ascendant Democrats in Congress pledge to take fresh aim at Silicon Valley for its role in stoking the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol this week.

The violent mob that stormed the House and Senate, leaving the two chambers in lockdown, has emboldened party lawmakers who say that social media sites failed to heed their repeated warnings — and then did too little, too late, in response to President Trump and his incendiary online rhetoric. Trump on Friday resumed tweeting, praising his supporters as “great American patriots" and pledging they would not be “disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

In the months to come, some Democrats now are promising to use their powerful new perches — and their control of the White House and Congress starting in a matter of days — to proffer the sort of tough new laws and other punishments that tech giants have successfully fended off for years. Their seething anger could result in major repercussions for the industry, opening the door for a wide array of policy changes that could hold Facebook, Google and Twitter newly liable for their missteps.

“They bear major responsibility for ignoring repeated red flags and demands for fixes,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who stands to play a key role leading a tech-focused congressional panel in the coming months. The lawmaker faulted Facebook, Google and Twitter for failing to act as the riots unfolded “until well after there was blood and glass in the halls of the Capitol.”

“They have done enduring damage to their own credibility,” Blumenthal added in an interview, “and these events will renew and refocus the need for Congress to reform big tech.”

Even before Trump’s supporters arrived in Washington, many Democratic lawmakers had turned a critical eye to the power and reach of some of the Web’s most popular platforms. In recent years, party lawmakers have called for a bevy of new social media regulations, targeting everything from the tech industry’s data collection practices to the way it moderates content across the Web.

A 16-month investigation into Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google led House lawmakers to conclude this fall that the four tech giants posed major antitrust concerns — and prompted Democrats to call on Congress to adopt sweeping changes that would empower the U.S. government to bring more aggressive cases. Others have trained their sights on more specific portions of law, such as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which spares a wide array of digital services from being held liable for the content posted by their users.

Facebook, Twitter could face punishing regulation for their role in U.S. Capitol riot, Democrats say
