The Donald vs Big Tech

[Emphyrio]

He won't be attending Biden's inauguration. That's a bit in poor taste.

Are you surprised. Such a sore loser.

[Emphyrio]

No, it's not surprising. Very babyish.

[Ollkiller]

No, it's not surprising. Very babyish.

Sure what do you expect from a narcissistic man child. First president since 1869 not to attend the next Presidents inauguration.

Edit: forgot to add. He's a coward for not attending.

How sure can we be though that the mainstream liberal lefty fake media big tech has not just brainwashed us into thinking he is being a sore loser.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

He'll excuse it by referring to the Democrat lawmakers who skipped his, not understanding the importance for Presidents to be held to a higher common decency bar even than lawmakers.

And some little tidbits on the (very short) history of incumbents sitting out their successors' inaugurations:

Actually you're right. People can't form their own opinions obviously. Bad media making me dislike El Trumpo.

[Pedrito]

Yawn!

Have a listen to Tulsi Gabbard here. She went for President in the last election as a democrat. Someone who sees what a mess the whole thing is on both sides and who speaks very reasonably a d without being inflammatory on the situation.

Have they managed to make you like Biden yet?

[Blackout]

I was hoping Biden would say "you're fired" ala The apprentice.

[astfgyl]

Serious missed opportunity if he doesn't

Of course it's a mess on both sides, it has been for decades, with the difference that today it's amplified through social media. The genuinely unprecedented aspect which led to the madness at Capitol Hill, though, was the never before seen and persistent denial, despite all proof and rulings to the contrary, by an incumbent President that he had simply lost the election. That is the spade that needs to be called a spade here, regardless of how measured and bipartisan you want to be (and, yes, we should) about the underlying background conditions which both sides overly exacerbate in their own way. He has been inciting his hardcore supporters, especially the many he knows to be hypnotized by conspiracy theories, ever since Biden crept ahead of him in the count in November. Even as they were tearing the Capitol apart, in conditions that led to 5 deaths, he persisted in speaking of a stolen election, for which there is zero evidence, other than the inability of his ego to accept it. Whatever about anything previous, his ego-bruised or paranoid or whatever the cause of it behavior since his defeat has been absolutely inexcusable, and, given knowledge of the pre-existing conditions, is the primary trigger for what happened at the Capitol.

EVERYTHING that has happened this year has been incited and condoned by both sides. BLM and all that nonsense, the Antifa riots, the zones that they occupied in cities was all condoned and allowed fester for political gain and to ultimately destabilise the presidency. Now we see the opposite side of the coin. The right are showing that they can scream and bitch snd shout too. None of it is good. They all need flushing out. Trump, Biden, Pelosi, the lot of them.

I would argue that Trump, at the very least, symbolised the desire of the people for change. What that change is or was is hard to put a finger on and he was ultimately unable to provide it. All that said, 4 years later we're in an even worse place and god knows where it's going to be in another few years because NOTHING has changed. The same oul bullshitters are still in the positions of power and you can bet everything they do will be a out appeasing their own and pissing off the other side.

They badly need, indeed the world needs, someone with a bit of cop on to come to the fore. Tulsi Gabbard there is a great option but she'll never get in because we all know how these Democrats work. Maybe someone will arise on the Republican side though that's highly unlikely too. It's not going to get better anytime soon by the looks of things. A complete shitshow.

You expect people to br measured when you yourself aren't. What has gone this year has been utterly horrendous for many many Americans. The rioting, the looting, it was disgraceful. A complete breakdown in law and order. You have kids on the walking up and down streets with machine guns 'protecting' their towns..madness. The police have been dragged through the mud. Race relations are at an all time low. The idea that races could live together peacefully looks almost impossible if you believed woke discourse and far right discourse. Academia is completely sold out and big tech and the social media giants are pummelling people with this stuff all for their own gain. They have proven that they cannot handle the power they possess and should be broken up as soon as possible. It won't happen though. It's a ticking time bomb the whole lot of it.
