Today’s stories
Unfortunately, TDS is a mental illness that will remain with the afflicted forever. A side effect will be impulsive tyranny.
Already, free speech is being limited. Social media oligarchs, with their pals now in power, are deplatforming the right. It’s also been reported that credit card companies are considering a ban on funds conservative groups.
These are bad but the escalation won’t stop there. Yesterday, in a since-deleted tweet, ABC’s Political Director called for the cleansing of Trump supporters.
The tweet did have the reasonable observation that focusing on Trump (i.e., impeaching or removing via the 25th Amendment) is a waste of energy since he’ll be out of office in a few days.
Still, with TDS overpowering reason, and the D.C. swamp wanting to banish Trump permanently, a slapdash impeachment is likely.
Sen. Sasse-pants has said he will entertain any charges the House sends over. This makes sense, Trump and his supporters don’t fit Sasse’s sensibilities, and Trump hampers the Senator’s unrealistic political ambitions.
Texas Democrats, who predictably lost in 2020, are trying to get in on the cancel culture action. The Castro twins and Beto boy have called on Ted Cruz to resign.
Speaking of cleansings, the official U.S. Chinese Embassy Twitter account yesterday boasted about its enslavement and believed genocide of Uygurs.
DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS is suing Sidney Powell for defamation.
The attorney moonlighting as a mythical squid has spent the better part of two months suggesting the November election was stolen via electronic tampering and that Dominion took part in the vote switching conspiracy.
To be clear, the November election was faulty, and there are issues with voting machines that must be addressed but Powell’s claims were based on bad, unverified information.
Distrust in elections paired with increased totalitarian tactics and aggressive rhetoric directed at the political right in American is dangerous.
