Pence should have known it was coming. Trumpā€™s been fucking him for 4 years now and probably wanted some strange.

From what Iā€™ve read that account is no longer suspended. It is permanently shut down.

If Pence still hasnā€™t figured out that Trump is a black hole, incapable of ever giving anything back, heā€™s even stupider than I thought.

On the topic of the house bringing articles of impeachmentā€¦

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said that it is time to heal and move on.

ā€œIt will do more harm than good,ā€ he said on Twitter. ā€œIā€™m hopeful President-elect Biden sees the damage that would be done from such action.ā€"

No, you asshat, doing nothing has done simply embolden these fuckers to break norms and bring our democracy to the brink. There must be consequences.

Maybe - just maybe - he shouldnā€™t have done some of those things for tRump.

Just a thought.

This isnā€™t hard. Trump and his lackeys have been systematically eliminating:

  • Anyone who is not completely loyal to Donald Trumpā€™s ego
  • Anyone who doesnā€™t suppress facts that might hurt Donald Trumpā€™s ego
  • Every competent person in the federal government
  • Everyone who might communicate something that Trump doesnā€™t want to hear

Also: ETTD.

Indeed. Doing nothing just ensures that there will be a next time - perhaps not from tRump but certainly from his crew of true believers.

On Twitter, thatā€™s what ā€œsuspendedā€ means.

It appears that the new pentagon leaders did what they were told and sat on their hands. One story I heard was that they could not reach the official that was needed to authorize the release of the guard. I DONā€™T BELIEVE THAT FOR ONE SECOND.

Pence isnā€™t voicing any regrets for his craven actions - just that he wasnā€™t sufficiently rewarded.
