tshile Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 55 minutes ago, PleaseBlitz said: 2 important things to note:  1.  Cheney likely did not make this decision on her own, she probably made it with the rest of GOP Senate leadership to. Male this very public and early announcement. She’s the GOP’s canary in the coal mine to gauge the reaction.  2.  Every GOP senator wants Trump gone. Either because they know he’s unfit and terrible for the country or like Hawley and Cruz, they badly want to be President and know they can’t be until Trump is out of the picture. The latte4 group just cant vote to convict, themselves. I’m curious what the optics of not being against an action that caused what is likely to be the largest domestic terrorism/insurrection investigation, and domestic intelligence effort, in this countries history.  like, what’s the play there? <creepy Ted Cruz voice to a crowd> ”yeah! That’s right! I was one of the few... the few... the few willing to stand up against the effort to denounce ... that guy that led the riot and was impeached and convicted and ultimately became the sdny’s piñata....”  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 More evidence supporting the Impeachment Article of Incitement:  White House insiders say Trump knew what was about to happen at the Capitol — because of his social media guru Dan Scavino  President Donald Trump’s deep-diving social media operation would have made him aware that plans for his supporters to try to storm and occupy the US Capitol were in the works long before he took to the stage at last week’s “Save America” rally, former campaign and White House officials say.   In the months leading up to Twitter executives banning him from using his preferred social media platform, the president’s nearly 90 million followers were on the receiving end of a firehose of content from conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, and adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Especially after his loss to President-elect Joe Biden, Trump’s feed was a consistent source of retweets for accounts promoting various baseless theories which purported to explain his failure to win re-election as the work of a shadowy cabal.  Such synergies played a major role in bring together the Washington DC riots that shocked the world on 6 January, according to Jared Holt, a visiting research fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab who tracks far-right extremists and propaganda.  “A big reason that a lot of extremist groups and individuals were present on the ground on Wednesday… [is] that for two months, President Trump's social media feeds were echoing the same kind, if not the exact same disinformation that animates these extremist movements,” Holt said.  Much of those efforts to curate what was a steady stream of disinformation that experts say radicalized many of his followers was the work of one of the few remaining 2016 campaign veterans still in Trump’s orbit: Dan Scavino Jr, the onetime Trump golf caddy who now serves as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications.  Click on the link for the full article   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
