Stable Genius scurries to @POTUS account, squirts out 4 angry tweets, all 4 get deleted in 10 min

"After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence," Twitter announced on Friday.

Conservatives whined about their "new dystopian future," but Trump simply used a different account to complain about the company.

"As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great Americans who voted for me," Trump complained, using his official, government account @POTUS.

He posted four tweets in a thread, but all were deleted within 10 minutes as this story was being written.

I wish I could fully express how grateful I am for @Jack shutting that pig the hell up

CAN YOU IMAGINE the screaming that's going on in the White House right now?

Facebook, GONE.
Instagram, GONE.
Twitter, GONE.

Nothing left but a morbidly obese 74 year old with anger management issues and no outlet.

Parler, I guess, or Tik Tok.

:rofl;:

Impeachment in the House could be a done deal in 2 days if Pence says "nyet" to 25th Amendment

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/house-democrats-impeachment-plans/index.html

If Pence and the Cabinet don't invoke the 25th Amendment, Democrats have been discussing a process that would allow them to bypass the committee proceedings and move articles of impeachment directly to the floor within two days.

The discussions are expected to intensify Friday, when House Democrats hold their first full-caucus call since the attack on the US Capitol as a growing number of members press for impeachment.

This call, scheduled for noon ET, will be an important moment in terms of what's going to transpire over the next two weeks. While House Democrat after House Democrat has backed a second impeachment, the caucus itself hasn't gathered since the dramatic events transpired. The call will be the first opportunity for lawmakers to talk to leadership about the impeachment issue, the 25th Amendment issue and significant security concerns related to the Capitol.

*****

But one option Democrats are exploring: offering articles of impeachment through a privileged resolution. That would allow the chamber to move ahead with a vote to impeach Trump within two days, skip hearings, approving an organizing resolution, an investigation and moving straight to a vote.

House Democrats just scheduled a caucus call for noon tomorrow. Expect 🎇 on the subject of impeachment/25th.

(During her presser today, Pelosi said she expects Pence to make a decision on invoking the 25th soon, but didn't spell out a timeline for action if he does not.)

Charlie Sykes is full of shit when he says Republicans have ended "lock step following of Trump"

Tell it to the Republicans who voted against the Electoral votes.

Sure, he names Lindsey Graham and Bill Barr, but saying "It's not the same party of Trump that it was a month ago" is stretching it.

This is on MSNBC right now, so no link.

And to Andrea Mitchell's credit, she DID say that Bill Barr's remarks were more about Barr than Trump.

But the Republican party is NOT alive and well and in rebellion against Trump. It IS the party of Trump.

Rep Ilhan Omar: "I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment."

Ilhan Omar
@IlhanMN
I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

Mike Gallagher just told Chuck Todd that he "doesn't want to politicize this."

Todd asked him about the idea of impeaching Trump so that he couldn't run again and that was his response.
