This jackass spoke at Trumps thing yesterday, and is now claiming that it was ANTIFA that stormed the building and caused all of the trouble, which seems to be a common go-to for a lot of them now. Unbelievable:

 

Ah ok that explains everything now. The “Facist anti-facists” were the ones to blame.

The maddest part is that she appears to have an onion in her towel. What?! and why?!

Really desperate to get into Rabbit Hole. Had no carrots. We’ve all been there.

Swinson got mocked for calling him out too:

I thought the dangers of Trump were pretty obvious, but Tories/right/Peirs Morgan seem to have lapped him up. Boris Johnson called for him to get the Nobel peace prize (facepalm)

Yep got to say one of the things that has really stuck in my throat for the last year and in particular last night was Piers Morgan complaining about Donald Trump and doing the if it had been black or asian people they would not be getting away with this. Make no mistake Donald Trump and his merry band of whack jobs have gotten as far as they have and become as deluded as they have because people like Piers helped him. I for one won't be forgetting that ever.

Yep spot on anyone I know who has shared Piers Morgan this year and done the 'fair play even Piers Morgan is on the right side on this one' has gotten my Piers Morgan is a populist arsehole who will say whatever he thinks we want him to hear. Admittedly he's a shrewd judge of when public opinion is turning but he's still a huge fucking rat deserting his sinking ship and hoping we'll have collective amnesia and let him aboard our vessel. Well not me!

Apparently a myth, as seen here:

But Elizabeth may not have known that and it seems a common fallacy. I wonder where you get a raw onion from at a revolution though.

mmmmm I can see a business opportunity here. Next time you see riots look out for an oldish bloke with a string of onions around his neck selling them

There's a French Revolution joke to be made here.... but I can't be bothered.

This is probably why French strikes are so effective. They can’t use tear gas on them. 

[Punksnotdead]

Well that was another fun 24 hours wasn't it?

I wonder what's next in the first week of 2021? World war 3? A massive earthquake? Deadly swarms of killer bees? Robbie Williams announced as Glastonbury headliner?????

Trump banned from facebook until at least after the inauguration.

The way he's pulling back now will probably just put his fans off him thinking he's gone soft, if we continue giving him the fuck off he still deserves maybe his platform will shrink and I'll be confronted with his shite takes less. He's proven enough times he's a bad guy (duh) if he wants to repent he can fuck off to obscurity. I imagine he'll be back to being a tosser soon enough though.

Good hopefully that means he'll stay banned. I believe Jack has always said he only let him remain on the platform because he is the President and people have the right to know what their president is saying. He won't be then so hopefully he can return to whatever fetid swamp he came from.

Yes clearly during a pandemic when people need the money furlough etc provides the whole world becomes a little more socialist and he's just doing the same. He'll be back to his usual tricks if it suits him in the future. There's a phrases about spots and leopards that applies here.

GOP Rep Adam Kinzinger is calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. I think he's the first GOP Rep to do so.

Zuckerberg also banning him from Facebook until after inauguration. Whole thing is beyond crazy and the Republican party response is poor. 

[Jcatley]

If they don’t remove Trump from office after yesterday then it sets a very dangerous precedent that Presidents are above the law. 
 

Although, granted that he has already set this precedent

Nixon, Clinton, Bush...

I am curious to see if Trump's ban on Twitter & Facebook will piss off his supporters in doing something else. There's already complaints that their/Trumps freedom of speech is already being taken away when there was just disclaimers and freedom of speech is one of those buzzy phrases that get folk riled up.

Very true. Not much can be said about our line of Prime Ministers either
