@WatchingYouDaily, you just advanced to level 5!
Hey question... I'm not looking for a debate on this, but am really curious if anyone knows. I haven't been able to find it... Does anyone know what the offending tweets were that got Trump banned from Twitter? I know they deleted some of his tweets, but does anyone know what they said? I'm just curious if there is any place he specifically called for what happened, or if it was more of one of those... 'yeah, but people knew what he meant' things
My guess is the storming of the Capital was the excuse to ban Trump. They wanted him gone for four years.
Agreed. But I'm wondering if anyone is siting a specific message, on Twitter or otherwise. I can't find anything where he tells people to do that. So, is it all implied? Is this like the "fine people on both sides" thing where it was taken out of context? I'm not condoning Trump's message, I think it was bad form to say things the way he did, but I also think there's a huge difference between implying something if you read between the lines and actually telling people to break into the capitol building.
Have you noticed how there has NEVER been a denial from ANYONE of the criminal conduct of the rioters in our major cities over the summer? More than that, what about the hundreds of "politicians"? Ever hear one deny they supported that criminal behavior? Give me a break cancel culture
people on parler have been posting guides on how install the app on Android by circumventing the google play store
When Trump was talking to the crowd he was saying we could only take the country back by strength they need to go the capital everything was stolen.
The inciting tweet was that Pence had failed to just seize the election for him resulting in the mob rioting chanting “Hang Mike Pence” he was already stashed by secret service they couldn’t find him.
He posted two messages urging not to attack police. Then he decided to instead fire everyone up instead with a video response saying “go home”but also you are right etc. this is the transcript. This caused ban
“I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side.
But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time.
There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election.
But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated — that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace."
I’m assuming you didn’t mean the tweets he made after the 12 hour ban because those are posted but if you missed round 2 https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html
How do we rectify video of Trump Supporters being blocked from one entrance, and then a group being escorted by Security in through the side entrance?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/09/us/officer-crushed-capitol-riot-video/index.html
Trump has his supporters in law enforcement? He did say that 110% had endorsed him.
Security leadership asked for a show of hands of who were Trump supports and who weren’t... and then split them up into groups and sent them to different entrances?
I’ll have to think about that one a bit more...
It was out of context or not fast enough response according to the media also they deleted his messages
It will be interesting to find out what the thinking was. There is that one woman who was killed as the crowd trampled her. Concerns about this happening may have been part of the decision making process. If they prevented them from coming and and if there were tens of thousands of people surging to get in, there could have been many more death by suffocation or trampling. That is often the case when crowds surge against an immovable barrier. It's just another possibility - to relieve crowd pressure.
I did that last night. I can post a little tutorial on it if you want later on.
We need to think of some local and state laws in the coming months to help protect us from retribution from the federal government. I'd like to know if anyone had any ideas, to help protect against the IRS being used as a political weapon.
Oh yeah that IRS always political 😂
> Oh yeah that IRS always political 😂
@Dedkraken it can and has been used that way in the past.
Pretty rare until Nixon thus the safeguards put in place to stop it
> Pretty rare until Nixon thus the safeguards put in place to stop it
@Dedkraken whatever safeguards put in place, are welcome, but not sufficient. And it's clear we can rely or fully trust the federal government. I was thinking about Obama's IRS going after right leaning non profits.
@silverquill5555, you just advanced to level 2!
The IRS went after political nonprofits violating tax law. Neither Obama nor right wing had much to do with it
> The IRS went after political nonprofits violating tax law. Neither Obama nor right wing had much to do with it
@Dedkraken I'm sure that was completely legit just like the 2020 election 🙄. 😂
Those groups cannot legally participate in political activity. They were doing so. These are things the IRS should be enforcing. Never an iota of evidence was presented that Obama somehow targeted the right. The IRS can’t let tax cheats get away just because they aren’t from the presidents party. Laws must still be upheld for both parties

@Dedkraken actually they can. Political organizations can file for tax exempt status, and they do this all the time.
So this litigation was ongoing during the Obama administration and into the Trump administration.
In October 2017, the Trump Administration agreed to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of more than four hundred conservative nonprofit groups who claimed that they had been discriminated against by the Internal Revenue Service for an undisclosed amount described by plaintiffs' counsel as "very substantial." The Trump Administration also agreed to settle a second lawsuit brought by forty-one conservative organizations with an apology and an admission from the IRS that subjecting them to "heightened scrutiny and inordinate delays" was wrongful.
There are also many other ways that the IRS can be used to Target individuals. Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Trump and other conservative individuals have faced perpetual, drawn out audits.
I don't really use parler but thanks
Do not confuse political activity and political organization. These are not the same things and not what I said. Political groups can file tax exempt parts for the purpose of social welfare. This does not include political activity of lobbying and campaigns. These groups were violating that law.
You leave out important details that the FBI looked into it and found zero evidence of enemy hunting. Further investigations revealed the IRS used political key words to find groups violating political tax laws 2004 onward it wasn’t even an Obama policy.
The difference was tea party groups breaking the law got their poor feelings hurt and whined about it to the news because they are entitled and feel above the law. Similar to Sean Rush and Trump that feel like they should be able to break the law and play victim when something is done. Pathetic really. Trump apologizing on behalf of Obama and giving them money isn’t evidence Obama did something wrong but rather that Trump did.
Thank you for sharing... I have to be honest, that seems a little weak to call inciting a riot
Spelling it out directly would be rather foolish. They told a bunch of crazed hyper partisan angry people for weeks Pence had the ability to just claim Trump won and if he didn’t he was betraying the country. It’s not at all surprising they considered that tweet a call to action
Maybe, but let's just say this, it wouldn't hold up in court lol
That's the whole idea of dog whistles.
Plausible deniability. It worked.
Apparently. Lol
