How long before he joins Parler, do you think?

This was a clever thing I just read: if Trump is removed, then Pence could resign on 1/19 to make Pelosi the first female president and also vacate her house seat.  :hmm:

Peloosi would only be Acting President and so would not have to give up her House seat (in then opinion of most scholars, according to a William and Mary documentary I used in Gov class last year).  Otherwise you end up with the situation that there would be a new Speaker, who would then have precedence over Pelosi for the title of Acting President, as she would no longer be Speaker.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bayraktar!

Man. Banned from twitter just 2 weeks before he looses his job. He must be fuming. Right when he was going to have more free time too.

:secret: I think twittering was kind of his main presidenting activity.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Well that is way less fun.

Along with chirping and cooing.

My respects to all the Trump parody Twitter accounts, like @realguldukat.

So, Trump dusted off the official @POTUS account to rant and moan about his ban, and Twitter deleted it promptly. So it's now been published as an official communication of the presidency of the USA:

Twitter thinking they can censure a major world leader is pretty short sided. That is going to end very badly for them. I understand trying to protect yourself from liability but Twitter is a platform, not a publisher. They already have legal cover.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I don't think it's about covering their ass, I think it's about preventing armed overthrow of the government.

Looks like Google and Apple are shutting down Parler.
