Why do liberals make "everything about race?” says the party that only targets votes/voters in predominantly black cities, enlarges the nose of a Jewish candidate and darkens the skin of a black candidate in ads, waves the Confederate flag in the U.S. Capitol, wears Camp Auschwitz and 6 Million Wasn’t Enough T-shirts to a riot to overturn a free and fair election won by a ticket that embraces racial justice (and features the first woman of color) and whose leader rose to power by spending a decade falsely claiming the country's first black president was not born in the U.S. so was therefore illegitimate. #traitors
In the interest of unity, and not further inflaming the people that voted for Trump, I think the only appropriate course of action is to declare Trump president for life. Anything short of that will only lead to further division.

I'm under no illusion that Trump cultists will ever stop being racists. But what will happen under humane leadership is that racist policies will no longer be championed and enacted, and the trickle-down effect will be that racists will have to go back underground. As sad as it sounds, it's about the most we can hope for -- and would be a welcome relief from these past five years.

Impeachment does not "divide our country." Unpunished white power coup attempts divide our country.

I am 100% behind a second impeachment. In addition to everything we already know, the Washington Post reports that Trump also pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a yet another disturbing call that legal experts say could amount to obstruction of justice. And WSJ reports that Trump forced a U.S. attorney in Georgia to resign as part of broader push to overturn the state’s election results
I think I may have missed the apology, expression of remorse & contrition, & commitment to never again use violence to attain a political goal, from any of the folks insisting that letting them get away w/sedition is the only path to national unity.Did any of the ya’ll see one?— Pam Keith, Esq.

And even now, the ONLY thing he regrets is having (belatedly) agreed to a peaceful transfer of power.
Hey @IvankaTrump and Jared Kushner, do you ever ask yourself why pro-Trump crowds include people who believe not enough Jews were killed during the Holocaust? And if you do, what answer do you come up with?

Black Capitol Police say chief left them exposed, unprepared.“I got called a nigger 15 times today,” said one officer. “Trump did this and we got all of these fucking people in our department that voted for him.

The following accounts have all either had tweets deleted or been suspended outright after Trump tried tweeting from them:@realDonaldTrump@POTUS@thedonalddotwin@garycoby@TeamTrumpHe doesn't seem to be taking the news especially well.— Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) January 9, 2021
Josh Marshall: So many terrible things have happened this week. But I have to say this spectacle of the President of the United States rushing from account to account trying and failing to get back on Twitter is just deeply pitiful.
What's Trump going to do all weekend at Camp David with no Twitter? As I tell my kids, 'you've got board games, you can draw, you can read a book..'

Rufus Gifford: I'm really over anyone arguing that Trump being banned from a private social media platform is somehow a threat to democracy. You know what's an actual threat to democracy? Someone intentionally and maliciously spreading misinformation and propaganda with the intent to incite a riot to overturn a free and fair election.
Michael Musto: So a wannabe dictator trying to throw out vetted and certified results through a violent coup shouldn't be banned from a social network, but it's OK to refuse to bake a cake for a nice lesbian who's getting married?

Michelangelo Signorile: Trump supporters keep writing to tell me Twitter is not a private company -- as opposed to say, the government -- because it is a “publicly-traded company.” Are these people really that stupid? No need to answer.
Hell, I was BANNED by Twitter for tweeting about an anti-LGBTQ former U.S. lawmaker hypocritically being on Grindr -- and the only way I could come back was to delete actual journalism.

The family of the Capitol Police officer bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher by the Trump mob doesn’t want his death to be “politicized.” Why might his loved ones not be furious at these monsters? Turns out he too was a Trumplican so they're willing to let it go. How is this not a cult?
Countdown: 10 days until we have a new administration.
