Happy Treason Weasel Day!!

Will the left wing dismiss the right-wing rioters with the same pat on the head that they dismissed their own rioters?

You know as well as we do that Democrat leadership, including Joe Biden, condemned violence and rioting committed in the name of BLM and Antifa just as harshly as they condemned right wing instigated rioting and violence, while Trump strongly condemned only what he perceived to be left wing rioting and violence, and arguably seemed to actually encourage right wing rioting and provocation of BLM and left wing protestors--no matter how peaceful or non violent. Remember his admonition to the "Proud Boys?"

Stand down and stand by!

We also reported and linked to evidence that much of the violence and looting attributed to BLM activists was actually committed by criminals and right wing thugs opportunistically trying to benefit from the chaos, while trying to make relatively peaceful BLM and other progressive protestors look responsible.

And if you have been paying attention, you must know about the numerous studies that have shown that most, and the worst acts of domestic terrorism and violence in recent times were committed by right wing extremists, many of whom claimed to be influenced or inspired by Trump.

The President’s press Weasel said earlier that Trump had activated the National Guard. Another lie. https://Twitter.com/billkristol/status/ ... 54951?s=21

Probably trying not to accelerate right-wing whatever.

There’s no rush to try and arrest them in a crowd. There’s lots and lots of security cameras on and in the Capitol.

"I know you husband was murdered, Ma'am, but did you know your car is double parked?"

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

You know as well as we do that Democrat leadership, including Joe Biden, condemned violence and rioting committed in the name of BLM just as harshly as they condemned right wing instigated rioting and violence[.]

"The left" is more broadly-encompassing than just Joe Biden.

And if you have been paying attention, you must know about the numerous studies that have shown that most, and the worst acts of domestic terrorism and violence were committed by right wing extremists, many of whom claimed to be influenced or inspired by Trump.

That is 100% correct, of course. But it doesn't have anything to do with my point.

Good.

Facebook removes Trump's video telling protestors to "go home"

Facebook has removed President Trump's video statement calling for rioters to leave, citing "emergency measures."

"We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence," Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president of integrity, tweeted.

This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.

— Guy Rosen (@guyro) January 6, 2021

Facebook is one of several social media platforms flagging Mr. Trump's recent content as going against their terms of use, however, they are the first to completely remove the message rather than flagging it as unwarranted.

In a statement, the company called Wednesday's violence a "disgrace."

"We prohibit incitement and calls for violence on our platform. We are actively reviewing and removing any content that breaks these rules."

It's probably because he starts by repeating his lies about the election being stolen.
