@RepKevinBrady That’s right!!! Attention everyone. Don’t arrest the arsonist...it might make him and his merry band of idiots start more fires!!!

@TomRichey @netflix I just wrote one in which a President, by utilizing social media to repeat incoherent lies about a “rigged” election to a group out of idiocracy causes another civil war...What FB & Twitter have done is terrifying, but should they let the rebellion play out on their platforms?

@TomRichey @jack I agree that corporate censorship can be extremely dangerous. More so than overt attempts by the Executive to destroy the very fabric of democratic governance? Perhaps, but not likely. Importantly, what they did was legal, what he did was incitement to insurrection vs the US

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

@BusbinsClassAHS I imagine it happening the other way around too. Being balanced and nonpartisan doesn’t mean you are unable to be a decent human. His retweets on the other hand...
