China Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 A Disgruntled Employee Changed The State Department’s Website To Say That Trump’s Term Ends Today, Sources Say A disgruntled employee at the State Department changed the biographies of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to say their term was coming to an end on Monday — nine days before President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in — two current-serving diplomats with knowledge of the situation told BuzzFeed News. The changes to the State Department’s website come days after Trump incited a deadly insurrection at the US Capitol that has led Democrats to begin the process of impeaching him for a second time and led to calls for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office. The president’s biography was changed to read, “Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:49:00,” while the vice president’s biography was edited to “Michael R. Pence's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:44:22.” The time stamp on Trump's page changed multiple times, before both pages were removed around 3:50 p.m. and replaced with a 404 reading, "We’re sorry, this site is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again in a few moments." Click on the link for the full story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just sickening. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxSpearheadxX Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The DC Mayor, the Capitol Police and the secret service need to all face an investigation and find out why tear gas wasn't shot all over thesr people at the very least. I get that they wanted to let people demonstrate but there has to be a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What occured at the capitol building was MUCH more than an organized riot. It was VERY different than even the attacks and firebombings of government buildings and police stations over the summer. If you can't see that what occured the other day is much more than "organized rioting" than I don't know what to tell you. You absolutely are, on murican internet anyway To be clear what you're asking is "please don't lump me as a Republican in with these insurrectionists."? The Republicans have been longing for this since well before many of us were even born. Hell a key part of their party platform here in the South has be to violently overthrow a tyrannical government. Its brought up in the 2nd Amendment defense arguments regularly. Those who supported these Confederates now wanna act like they "didn't know" or "weren't aware". Germans said the same **** about the Nazis after WW2.

NoCalMike Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) The problem with the Republican/conservative wet dream fantasy of armed revolution is that they have been told for the last 30 years that it is justified more or less merely because they don't agree with who is in office, despite the fact that they were in office as a result of free & fair elections. They have been constantly been fed poison and nonsense that they are the "true Americans" and anything that goes against the ideology they are being force-fed everyday is un-American and therefore justified to "go to war" against. Trump and his administration goons just happened to finally be the one to get to the White House that would stoke that fever to the next level and refused to turn the temperature down every single time until forced to....but always seemingly after the fact. The Proud Boys promised violence at Biden's inauguration months ago, and there was never a "if he cheated" disclaimer, it was just straight up "if Biden wins, prepare for civil war" Don't feed me any lines of BS that law enforcement and the intelligence community was not prepared for something like last Wednesday. There has to have been some kind of sabotaging of the prep and resources required to quell that kind of rioting.

Bang Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 So this is fun. As to "Cancelling Taylor Heinicke".. look, we see what happens when we let fringe lunatics control things by simply screaming louder than everyone right? The bottom line is this. The people who "cancel" things are the CEOs. And they cancel things because the thing being screamed about will A/ lose them money B/ Not make them enough money, or c/ they can make more money by cancelling it. (See: Redskins, Washington) No worries. ~Bang 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world do you think you are free to say whatever you want on the internet? I'm genuinely curious? Uh the laws of free speech that we are afforded in speech extends to the written word, whether it is in print form or on an electronic device. I'm confused why you don't feel this way. The USA is one of the only countries in the world where there are not laws on speech beyond the fire in a movie theater type examples. Are you not aware of this? Not only is speech allowed, speech then is allowed against your stance. EDIT: Just like an editor of a newspaper can not print something, twitter also can also remove someones ability to publish something. This is not a violation of free speech. You can buy some servers and create your own outlet for your content. Many comedians are doing it right now (Tom Segura etc) Edited January 12, 2021 by XxSpearheadxX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If you honestly think “the worst thing about this” is twitter enforcing their terms of service, then you cannot be helped. But I suspect that no one honestly believes that and instead is arguing from a position of extreme bad faith...which is par for the course in the rotten GOP media. Something something Venezuela... 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he will play football. People voicing opinions on any manner of previous issues is quickly being grouped into those nutjobs rushing the capitol. We probably will overcome and unify as a country, but I truly believe there is going to be a concerted effort to force people to think and talk a certain way about things that our country hasn't seen since Mcarthyism. Mcarthyism was the last great government sponsored mass censorship incident. I hope I'm wrong. Trump is such an asshole, his antics delegitimized all kinds of rational opinions and I hate him for it.

Yeah but I still think DC should be its own entity. There is too much murkiness having "statehood" for the capitol. DC should be different. I think Puerto Rico should be a state though.
