Gonna be honest: I don’t get it. Clearly they’re throwing shade at Trump, but help me out here.

I think it’s just people who stay hooked to their computers waiting for some new nonsense to be tweeted.

He stokes the fires every time he tweets?

It’s over. Basically.

More for Doomscrollers and the like, at least that was my take.

Zero fucks @Sharpe for president. Who’s with me?

I can now say that one of the people in the hotel lobby who demanded I delete the video, put his hands on me, and screamed at me is this guy. He appears in the first frame of the above video. https://t.co/cdV84nyUrL

I am dreading the moment that Trump remembers he has the power to send every phone in the country a text message.

I’m pretty sure that guy is ex military, and he was one of the non moronic ones, since he covered his face. That’s one of the guys who I think was there for serious violence if he could have done it. Hope they find him.

vyshka · 2021-01-09T00:37:34.314Z

Between him and apparently his mom I’m fairly certain he will be grabbed.

Menzo · 2021-01-09T00:38:18.342Z

I do think that the combined effects of the failed coup, Trump’s “concession,” and now all the bans from Twitter and other social media risk creating a Timothy McVeigh-style lone wolf who’s just mentally deranged enough to do it.

I hope the FBI is being vigilant.

Sadly, without a doubt.

Hope so. That’s decent enough video for the FBI, probably, considering all the other stuff they have access to.

What are you really asking me? What I’m doing is talking about what happened and frankly I think a lot of people are being hysterical, and not in the good way. Lot of suppositions being bandied about as fact, etc. Sure, kidnapping is a serious crime, but so is revolution! And we’re, or at least I am, not talking about “kidnapping” as in taking someone hostage in exchange for demands. If I was going to occupy a hostile place I’d want some (nonlethal!) way of putting my opponents out of action, too. My feeling is that by and large these people, drunk on their insane narrative of election theft and an extremely unearned feeling of righteousness expected they would show up, Trump would lead them to the capitol and the opposition would mostly just melt away before the power of their cause. My feeling is not that they expected to show up and execute the entirety of the democratic party, although I have no doubt that there were at least a few psychos who would have no real trouble doing that if the mood of the day supported it, which it does not seem to have done. People say stupid shit on the internet all the time, and this crowd attracts more than its fair share of blowhards. In all honesty it seems plain to me that too many people on both sides of this Civil War But This Time as Dumb as Possible watch too damned much television.

Was this written by an AI? I’m pretty sure this was written by an AI.

New: Google is also telling Parler it must better police its app or it'll pull it from the Play Store. Apple had given Parler a similar ultimatum earlier today. (Correcting earlier tweet that said Google had given Parler 24 hours to fix.)

What a genius. Talking on camera about how that other guy from “antifa” filming and doxxing him, as if you can’t be recognized on video taken by allies.

Funny how he throws the loyalty test at the cameraman like a drug boss. “You’re guys are obviously patriots”… Nervously, “yea yea”.
