And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

It's been twenty four hours and Apple has indeed booted Parler.

Here is the letter Apple sent Parler: "Parler has not upheld its commitment to moderate and remove harmful or dangerous content encouraging violence and illegal activity, and is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines." pic.twitter.com/qZOeDAdyUQ

xp Yeah. I figure TC's upfront with the new subtext of the next "mainstream" conservative-Repub line, "We mustn't forget traditional values and what we really stand for, as the extremists rage---with your help, for just five dollars a day---"

Well not "new," but reaffirmed, real firm.

who will build the Epic Games Launcher for nazis

xp Following the reasonableness of just letting the clock run out and hoping no nukes that aren't too unpopular.

that *are* too unpopular.

re Alex Jones, his approach may be something other than earnest. It's definitely knocking his other videos this week down the search results.

The night before 5 people were to die in a coup attempt at the Capitol, Alex Jones said, "We're deep down in that water...not everybody is gonna make it. But that's okay. Because in the end, God will fulfill his destiny and will reward the righteous."

Pence is, I think, allowing himself some grim satisfaction here.

New reporting from @Acosta: "VP Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve it as an option in case Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the VP says."https://t.co/rD5glDPx5g

If Pence pulled it off, he'd get a nice pension bump.

Blackberry here we come!

or just a website

as I understand it repealing Section 230 would probably result in much more draconian modding and banning?

it would mean the end of all posting basically, like you couldnt even have blog comments

I mean I have never heard anyone pule like right wingers upon encountering any pushback or obstacle whatsoever.

Is one of the changes youd be seeking from a biden presidency the radical removal of powers from the president or

I think the auld fella might demur on that one.

President Trump is expected to be represented by his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, in the event of an impeachment trial, two sources said, and is also considering hiring controversial attorney Alan Dershowitz for his impeachment defense team. https://t.co/XZKJaFqexi

hell yeah

I liked Dershowitz in that movie with Jeremy Irons

dead ringers

Dersh is such a starfucker

“Wednesday's riot is already being used as a pretext for an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties. Just in the last several hours, we have heard people in positions of power demand that those who support Donald Trump should no longer be allowed to publish books or use the Internet or fly on airplanes”

don’t like seeing this tucker carlson bullshit posted here

Sometimes you have to see it, to really know it. But for this, fair warning---do believe the hype:

News outlets are publishing more and more videos, photos and testimonials from Wednesday's pro-Trump riot on Capitol Hill. And it's becoming clear that as heinous as the attack looked in real time, on live TV and in our social feeds, it was even worse than we knew then.

It was even more violent. It was even more treacherous. And Trump's behavior was even more disturbing. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/09/media/reliable-sources-january-8/index.html

I found the Carlson repugnance interesting and appreciate dow not wanting to drive clicks to Carlson's own site. A blockquote and a cw could have given ppl the option to teal deer, though.

I was going to blockquote, but struck by the expert shit way he developed the whole thing.
xp Somebody upthread mentioned a hit on Pence, pretty plausibly. "Pence, show yourself!" I remember hearing that.

Best be livid to pence

xp But as for the site, the link was to Real Clear Politics, who just put up the transcription, knowing their comment would have been superfluous---Real Clear indeed.

you can hide text with h, which might be a nice design choice for huge blocks of text

Amazon kicks Parler off its web hosting.

ha wrecked

yet another simpsons ref, but that's v much like homer's gurney rolling out of the ambulance after the failed canyon stunt

Or like the Story of Everest, constantly obliterating wall after wall of decorative thimbles.

Those Parler screenshots in that Amazon letter are disquieting.

Ha told you. Rip parler. This is not the kind of web service you can easily move to some random box in the Netherlands either. I can’t see how they come back from this.

There’s still gab and telegram and splort and flurttt and bumboo

not so much a bug as a feature
