Donald Trump quietly drops lawsuit over 2021 Twitter ban after Capitol riot

[Ohnooze]

Ok


- So the fact that one "similarly offensive" act was condoned through a pardon and the other wasn't... doesn't bother you?

There have been calls to pardon the J6 rioters since almost immediately after J6 happened, never was any call to pardon the GF rioters. Maybe that's why it's always talked about, because conservatives wouldn't just condemn it and let it go?

Bother me? No....neither bothers me. I don't like it and it bothered me a lot when it was happening but not now.

Pardon or not you know damn well that's got very little to do with why it's still talked about.

The left and the media will use it as a talking point for the rest of our lives.

- And the Right will keep drawing a false equivalence between J6 and literally anything else (in this case, GF Riots).

Wonder why they keep doing that? I think you know

And the left will continue to act as if GF riots were justified yet Jan 6th was as devastating as 9/11.

But we are taking in circles at this point. Agree to disagree....

 

[Str8Shot]

Of course, Trump no longer wants to sue his literal Partner in Crime. Instead he needs Elon Musk to keep dismantling democracy and whatever is left of the country's values.

Indeed, the stench of this bromance is epic. They’re both Synagogue of Satan worshippers, here to bring in the AI Governance agenda, along with utter slavery for the masses. Trump was the snake in his own anecdotes at rallies..(“you knew I was a snake when you took me in”).

 

[Mister_K]

I have no idea if Trump was actually partly responsible for any of the Jan 6th rioting.
That said I do know that left leaning people act as if it was some kind of 9/11 event. But at the same time the George Floyd riots killed 25 people and over 2 billion in financial damages. Let's compare that to Jan 6th.
Ridiculous tribalism....

Yes, yes he was.

 

[Ohnooze]

Yes, yes he was.

You'll have to forgive me for not taking your word for it.

 

[Mister_K]

You'll have to forgive me for not taking your word for it.

Trump had been sowing the seeds of these claims a year before the election, repeatedly insisting it would be rigged. He relentlessly pushed this narrative without a shred of evidence, falsely declaring that the election had been stolen and that widespread voter fraud had taken place. On the day of the certification, he rallied people to gather, telling them their election had been taken from them, their country was under threat, and that they had to "fight like hell" to stop it. He knew full well why he was summoning them and what he was inciting them to do.

Once the Capitol grounds were breached, he ought to have immediately taken to social media to call for calm and urge people to leave. Instead, he accused Pence of letting them down, further stoking tensions and allowing the mayhem to spiral out of control.

No healthy mind is going to support Trump, only absolute buffoons would defend him and call him the next messiah (which the unhealthy Republicans do).

Nothing wrong with Republic, some of the greatest presidents have been but modern republicans are delusional elitist pricks.

PS way to move the goalpost and derail the conversation to George Floyd riots. Like cmon...

Can't say I have ever heard anyone think he was the messiah.

Wow....some may be but I see what you're describing way more in the demarcate party.

PS way to move the goalpost and derail the conversation to George Floyd riots. Like cmon...

No one is moving the goalpost. Just pointing out that the obvious...one is ok and the other isn't.

 

[Mister_K]

People who are religious are in a cult, hence "messiah". Stupid republicans who voted for Trump or at the very least, MAGA folks are in a cult, hence "messiah".

Wow....some may be but I see what you're describing way more in the demarcate party.

Did you watch Trumps inauguration?

No one is moving the goalpost. Just pointing out that the obvious...one is ok and the other isn't.

I am not discussing GF riots. You keep bringing it up to derail the conversation. Neither are ok but to say Trump wasn't instigating January 6th is false. So yeah, lets not move the debate to something absolutely irrelevant.

So all religion is a cult....I'm just not going to bother going there.

Did you watch Trumps inauguration?

No...I think I may have very small parts of it in passing.

I'm not derailing anything. Just pointing out that only one seems to matter to the people around here and it's brought up pretty regularly. Yes both are bad...I'm pretty sure that I said as much multiple times in this topic.

I didn't say that he didn't insight Jan 6th, I said I don't know. I really don't know a lot about what went on that day. I did watch in disappointment on the news while it was happening but I don't know any of the details of how it all went down.

 

[New Day]

According to the doc I saw from recently-ish, the Satanic Church refutes and rejects your claim of their membership.

You apparently can't tell the difference between a pre-planned and of coordinated effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power in support of a pathologically lying a**hole, and the duly elected POTUS, and a "riot". "The "riot" was a front for trimp working in the background to recruit fake electors, force his AG to go along with it his "stolen election" claim, and force Mike Pence to act against his constitutional duty to certify the election.

One has to wonder if those Capitol rioters, brought along the material to construct the gallows for Pence, or did they, "just find it, laying around the Capitol grounds".

The "people" have the right to "petition the government for a redress of grievances". OK, so in the case of Mr.Floyd they did exactly that. However, large numbers of people acted opportunistically, robbing, stealing, and setting fires, for their own persona gain.

It is an overt "false equivalence" to compare those taking part in peaceful protest, to those who set fires, looted stores, and attacked the police. But at every so called "riot", there are two different types of people. "SJWs", and those in it for personal gain. We took care of that in Philly, by tracking down the stolen goods, and locking up those who had them in their possession.

I've always held that, "the intelligence of a mob, is equivalent to the square root of the IQ of its stupidest member". And so many people seem to go out of their way to prove me right

When I realized that the trimpanzee had won reelection, all I could hear ringing through the ages was, "GIVE US BARABBAS". Some things never change.

The orange orangutan is a piece of sh!t, and so is his twin sister "Elon", and y'all just stepped in it. Hopefully, when you can't get rid of the stench, you'll learn to avoid it next time. Call me a hopeless dreamer

Yeah I know the difference. I didn't say the reason for them was the same but the fact remains that in both situations people acted like animals. Fact remains that in both situations the people were acting out in what they thought was an injustice. Well except for the huge number of looters involved in the GF riots.

But at every so called "riot", there are two different types of people. "SJWs", and those in it for personal gain.

It's not a so called riot....it's just a riot. And please spare me the bs that SJWs were not part of the violence. Maybe the majority weren't just like the majority on Jan 6th weren't.

You do realize that Biden and Kamala's performance and policies are the only reason Trump got in office right? The republicans' didn't vote him in alone. Centrists voted for Trump and a lot of minority groups turned their back on Biden and Kamala.

And again I have no desire to try and defend Trump or Elon for that matter.

But that "GIVE US BARABBAS" line...wow. Twisted view for sure.

 

[captaincranky]

Apparently you don't. The Capitol riot was based on trimpsley, (the outgoing POTUS), feeding the crowd a premeditated and false "social injustice", and sending > his< mob to the Capitol.

In the case of George Floyd, he was intentionally killed bu a policeman. So yeah, there's difference. You seem to be unable to discern it, but that's not my failing.

In all situations, people are, in fact, animals. As a species, we gave ourselves the designation, "Homo sapiens". (I would have gone with "Homo stultis", but I wasn't present at the conference.) In reality, our species is the most advanced and lethal apex predator, evolution has produced thus far. (Despite what "the good book" tells you).

It's not a so called riot....it's just a riot. And please spare me the bs that SJWs were not part of the violence. Maybe the majority weren't just like the majority on Jan 6th weren't.

Well, in Philly, the SJWs were sitting in the middle of Rt. 95, and were pepper sprayed by the police for being unwilling to move, not looting anything.

You do realize that Biden and Kamala's performance and policies are the only reason Trump got in office right? The republicans' didn't vote him in alone. Centrists voted for Trump and a lot of minority groups turned their back on Biden and Kamala.

I have a bad habit of watching press conferences live. I especially "liked" the one where trimp declared, "covid is a democratic hoax, it'll just go away". After which, he told Dr. Fauci, "to sit down, he'd take it from here". Which is when the bleach and UV light "ideas" were introduced.

And no, Biden's "policies and performance" were not the reason people elected an imbecile this time.

Y'all just have bad memories. Did Biden cause inflation? No, the pandemic did.
Did Biden raise your rent? NO, landlords did. Our economic recovery under Biden was touted a the world standard. Now, were an international laughing stock under trimpo.

As for electing an 91 times indicted felon, a sexual predator, who brags about being a sexual predator, insurrectionist, and so forth, as POTUS, I'd say "GIVE US BARABBAS", is dead on target.

And here's a shout out to all the "Jo Bobs", "Billy Joes", and other mentally impaired clowns in the center of the country, who, "wouldn't vote for no n****r", a big "thanks" to y'all for inflicting this "reign of terror" on the rest of us.

A final "thought", try and wrap your head around it. Joe Biden didn't cause inflation. He inherited it from the orange a**hole's mishandling of covid.

I was going to give you some links to "trump can grab my p***y" merch, but the software censors them.

In both cases people believed they were fighting for justice in one way or another...except the looter of course. That is a fact regardless of if they were deceived or not.

Just because you want to low key justify the GF riots doesn't mean I don't understand what they were.

Well, in Philly, the SJWs were sitting in the middle of Rt. 95, and were pepper sprayed by the police for being unwilling to move, not looting anything.

As they should have been. Act like a ******* and get treated like one. Naturally you would think this was some kind of injustice. And wow...I mean what heros for not looting.

As for electing an 91 times indicted felon, a sexual predator, who brags about being a sexual predator, insurrectionist, and so forth, as POTUS, I'd say "GIVE US BARABBAS", is dead on target.

I would say that says a lot about the people you were supporting.

If you can find a post of mine praising Trump please do.

And here's a shout out to all the "Jo Bobs", "Billy Joes", and other mentally impaired clowns in the center of the country, who, "wouldn't vote for no n****r", a big "thanks" to y'all for inflicting this "reign of terror" on the rest of us.

Ok I'm done here. You think and comment like typical left wing loony white trash.
That may be the most delusional brainwashed TDS comment I've seen on this site.
You think way too much of yourself....you're not the genius you think you are.
Actually you're exactly like the people you hate only on the other side of nuts...

Ridiculous tribalism....

A ridiculous ignorance of the facts, and an extremely poor example.
Something like 9000 people were arrested and served\still serve their time. As they should.

And I'm pretty sure none of them are in our Federal Government, let alone President.
I understand it's just the direction the right points MAGAs after they wind you up but still a surprisingly weak argument from you, honestly.

And on a side note, the question isn't if trump inspired the riots as much as he did NOTHING about it when he could have. Sounds damn complicit to me. One way or the other.

Like I said, I have no desire to defend Trump. I've never been a fan of his so regardless if he did or didn't do something or should have done something...I know very little about what went down.

A ridiculous ignorance of the facts, and an extremely poor example.
Something like 9000 people were arrested and served\still serve their time. As they should.

And you're free to believe that. They may have been for different reasons but similar acts of violence and behavior. To me they are 100% equally offensive but only one of those situations is constantly brought up. The one not ever mentioned had far more people die and was much more devastating. IMO that's not a weak argument at all.

You actually have poor reasoning skills yourself.

You're trying to combine looters and protesters under the same umbrella. I don't think the protesters were doing the right thing sitting in the middle of 95. My point was to illustrate they weren't looting. Two specific types of individuals make up a riot.

In spite of you're lame defense of your POV and dismissal of me as a "typical left wing loony white trash".

Everything you're dismissing my opinion about, are events I watched unfold live on TV.

I'm actually a centrist and a former Republican. I don't want to watch two men kissing on TV for a drug commercial. I think the Dems wasted entirely too much time on "gay rights issues". I mean really, why spend a billion dollars pandering to 2% of the population.

What it all boils down to is that 48.6% of the public are/were too ungodly stupid to realize that inflation wasn't Biden's fault. So they said, "GIVE US BARABBAS" Nov. 6th.

BTW, no one can judge another's intelligence using their own as a measure, you included.
