Ask yourself two questions, MBB. Had the Orange One won the election and the Democrats cried fraud, how vehemently would the Orange One have defended the very same voting processes? And... had the insurrectionists succeeded at taking control of the Senate, what would the Orange One have done?

I think that Bob Dylan has a lot to answer for ...

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Ban him for inciting violence.

Don’t worry,  most people don’t listen to the words. Trump kept playing CCR’s Fortunate Son at rallies despite being exactly the sort of guy the song condemned.

Unlike the POTUS, he is warning the senators and congressmen about impending violence.  He was also foreseeing a leftist movement rather than right wing insurrectionists - times they are a-changing indeed!

Interesting, thats the same sort of language that I see Trump banned from Twitter.

Inferred meaning seems to be the problem to me, but thats just what I see.

Love it! Because of a Dylan song in the 60s, Trump should be allowed to use Twitter to mobilise his mob. That makes a lot of sense  Big Grin

By the way, this is another great example of the right-wing victim strategy. They’re perfectly happy to condemn Kathy Griffen over her bloody head routine, First Amendment be damned. They clutched their pearls while complaining that this would endanger the life of the President. They managed to extract an apology but Kathy Griffen had to flee the country anyway. But when Trump incites violence which kills 5 people, they then say Kathy Griffen did it so Trump should be allowed his freedom of speech. Great logic there.

After all, cancel culture is only allowed when right-wingers are wielding it as a weapon. We’ve seen it over here regarding Abdul-Magied’s Anzac Day tweet. She must have laughed when she read stories about the investigations into cold-blooded murder by the SAS.

Like i said inferred meaning seems to be the problem.

Apply that thought process to your response to me, and see what answer you come up with.

Speaking of cancel culture, did you hear the movie Grease is in the firing line at the moment?

Why?  Too many hetero normative relationships, and slut shaming....

It’s terrible when cancel culture is employed by non-conservatives. Surely right-wingers could sue in court to protect their intellectual property: they must be able to argue they have an enforceable copyright or patent. Senator Joe McCarthy surely invented it. Ironically, he deployed it against suspected Russian sympathisers but if he were still around no doubt he would have gladly gone after anyone who wondered about Trump’s Russian connections.

As long as cancel culture is applied the right way, e.g. killing Colin Kaepernick’s career for having the temerity to kneel, then we can be happy that all is right with the world.
