Do you think Parlor will allow Trump to say whatever he wants after this?

[Rycochet]

Yes, because they're hosted by the same company that hosts 8kun, Gab, Infowars and Stormfront. Rob Monster, who owns Epik is pretty much a Neo Nazi, there is nothing he will not host, provided there's no repeal of laws that prevent him from being held liable like the trump admin were gunning for, of course.

So, which member of the Trump family do you think will be the first to appear on Dancing with the Stars or the Masked Singer in the hopes of softening their image? I bet it'll be Don Jr, hoping that being a reality TV star will make his father actually love him.

I dunno, Parler is back up. I can't see him staying quiet for too long.

 

Parler's website is back, but there's no return of the app. That's going to be a taller order for them, and with no app, I don't see Trump being to keen on participating.

I guess people are just going to have to finally learn what the little compass icon on their phones is for.

If Trump starts actively using Parler, I'm certain it will be revealed within a year they're paying him a seven figure sum to do so to make it worth his while.

So um...weird question.

 

Has anyone had any eyes of Barron since he caught COVID? Can't help but notice in all the pictures of Twitler fleeing D.C., Barron is conspicuously absent. I just have this mental image of Biden walking around the Residence and realizing Barron's still there.

It'll be especially infuriating when the media covers his Parler posts because they're addicted to the ratings.  Not only will it give Trump the attention he desperately wants, they'll also be normalizing a far-right platform.

So um.....anyone wanna tell me how close we actually had to a successful coup?  And weather or not Michal Flynn had anything to do with it?

 

NEWWWWS -- Michael Flynn's brother was on the call and resisting emergency pleas for the National Guard when the Capitol was under attack Jan. 6. The Army falsely denied it for weeks. me w the greats: @DanLamothe @PaulSonne @byaaroncdavis https://t.co/k6QNnXrwBh

Ironbite-INVESTIGATE THE FLYNNS NOW!

[Mako Crab]

Yeah. Theres gonna be some heads rolling once they properly investigate everything that went down that day.

I would like to imagine that the rioters were in their jail cells, sitting on their bunk beds, eagerly waiting for their names to be called in the final batch of pardons, fully convinced Trump would save them. Then when the list was released and they weren't on it, they watched Trump board the Marine One for the last time, a wave of shock and horror washed over their face as they finally realize that Trump was abandoned them and he was never there for them even though they were the most obedient of followers. They jump out of their ragged bed and desperately reached through the bars of their cell and screamed "I believed in you!". The camera then pans down the hall with the sounds of a metal door slamming, a lock turning and the maniacal laugher of a guard as it fades to black.

End scene! 😌

Joe Exotic's tweet on the matter seemed to sum it up. A feeling of absolute betrayal.

[wonko the sane?]

At least they realized they were duped and exploited. Epiphanies of self are hard to achieve. How many of them STILL refuse to accept reality and understand that 1.) it's all over, and 2.) they were taken for a ride?

[Rust]

Indeed. If folks are finally starting to wake up to things, they shouldn't be harassed for daring to admit they were wrong.

 

HOWEVER, that's not a blanket pardon to allow those people back into your lives.

[wonko the sane?]

HA! Nope! Trust has to be earned, and is significantly harder to do the second time 'round. The next epiphany will come in a few years time when they realize just HOW MUCH they hugged their lives over.

 

This one will happen somewhat quicker for a lot of the insurrectionists whom are now, or will shortly be, in jail. Long terms in hellholes tend to leave time for introspection.

Proud Boys ditch Trump. They caled him a traitor and weak and told their followers to no longer go to his rallies. That is a plus to diminish his power base.

You'd think that, but no.  Most of the time in prison is spent looking at the next 2 minutes and not a second further.  The entirety of the prison experience can be summed as the expression, "the folly of short term thinking".  

 

They'll release having not learned anything and find that the world has moved on without them.

Let them be humbled by their mistakes. Let them be reminded of their mistakes so they learn not to do them again. They will earn their repentance by being silent and being forgotten by the public. If they speak up again, we will remind them.

I'd like to believe that's real, but anyone who names themselves after Poe's Law is a bit too suspicious for me to take seriously with a post like that.
