What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Jacob]

Handful of updates:

They got the guy with the zip-handcuffs and - it appears - it was due to "internet sleuths" tracking him down.

Parler CEO claims (on Fox) that "every vendor dropped us on the same day", so maybe they're not coming back in a few weeks. This include email providers, text message providers, and even their lawyers.

Donald Trump himself is getting hit, with Stripe no longer processing payments for the Donald Trump Campaign website.

I like the idea of Trump getting hit in his ability to disseminate his message AND his ability to grift from his rabble rousing. I do think one of the driving forces behind the way the unsavoury elements of the GOP metastasized into Trumpism was driven by grift - saying egregious shit to rile folks up so you could fundraise (and channel funds to your pockets and those of your cronies). If that ecosystem becomes less of a turnkey operation, that may contribute to slowing things down a bit. * crossing fingers *

Incidentally, he spent the day Congress was assaulted handing out medals to Anika Sorenstam, Gary Player, and Babe Zacharias (posthumously).

Man I had no idea he was such a sports fan. Must be all those casinos he built.

Really dramatic speech from Arnold. While holding Conan's sword.

Crom bless America!

Now, imagine in the 1980s if somebody told you that decades later ex-Governor Schwarzenneger would issue a condemnation on President Trump for attempting a coup 

Darkest timeline or stupidest timeline, I can't decide yet.

Trump will award the Medal of Freedom to Bill Belichick this week.

IMPEACH HIS ASS NOW

Bellichick surely is out to cement himself as sports' biggest villain

So stupidest timeline then.

"I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week. I find it shameful that surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me – from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda. This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens. It should not be used for personal gain."

Melania Trump

Because the key takeaway here is Melania being treated unfairly.

Apparently Parler has been hacked and hackers have been able to gather extensive amounts of information from its users (including their real IDs for some of them), as well as georeferenced images and deleted messages regarding the Capitol storming, which seems to have been shared with the FBI in order to put a whole lot of people in no-fly lists.

Contaminating a bunch of cases with illegally obtained evidence?

What kind of idiot uploads their ID to a social network?

If it's only used to identify people who participated in the storming of the Capitol I don't see how it can contaminate anything.

Apparently they have a "Verified citizen" status, for which you have to upload pictures of your real ID, and a significant amount of people used it.

IIRC you have to do something similar with Twitter if you want to get a blue check.

Why must we only choose one option?

To spout your darkest, most hateful thoughts anonymously, you first have to hand over your ID? And people do this?
