Maybe we should just let them serve it?

I posted an article from WaPo dated Jan 5 that highlighted the violence/mayhem the Trumpers/QAnoners were openly planning on Parler and thedonald.win. I was quoting a portion of it and FB said, "Nope, you may not use that word."

Article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/05/parler-telegram-violence-dc-protests/

My eventual quote:
Talk of guns and potential violence is rife on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, the conservative social media site Parler and on (insert hate site named for you-know-who that FB won't allow to be named), an online forum that previously operated on Reddit before the company banned it in June after years of racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and calls for violence.

Crikey! Even Lindsey Graham is bailing on him


I mean, obviously he was going to, since he seems to lack all sense of personal loyalty or political principle, and instead tries simply to ingratiate himself with the powerful, but it's still something to see him jumping ship.

All it needs now is for Melania to dump him and shack up with Ted Cruz.

I really don't get the proclivity of alleged native English speakers like Steve Schmidt to package their thoughts in such an unnecessary amount of words.

Lindsey Graham is one of America's worst toadies and a wryneck.

That's what we called people in Germany who, ~after~ the fall of the GDR, switched overnight from being loyal toadies under the Stasi regime ("Mitläufer") to "I've always been a strong supporter of Democracy". The "Wendehals" - or wryneck in English - is of course a bird known for having an extremely flexible neck that allows it to turn its head by almost 180 degrees. They're also known as "snake-birds" for that reason.

Looks like the MAGA movement is imploding, feeling betrayed by both the Republicans and, to a lesser extent, by Trump himself.

While Trump and his court obviously will still be able to make a lot of mischief from Mar-a-Largo, I think that now the Republicans and the Party of Donald J Trump (the Patriots, as they call themselves) are at each other's throats, and the MAGA crowd are feeling let down and betrayed after their failed coup attempt (more like a pitch invasion by a soccer crowd who don't like the ref's decision, if you ask me), the idea of Trump either making a comeback or, failing that, acting as Republican kingmaker in 2024 is now looking -- at least to me -- somewhat remote.

It's not impossible, of course, but for the moment the big fight seems not between the Democrats and the Republicans but between the Trumpists and the non-Trumpists on the Republican side.

I better clarify this is meant as a joke but this could be Bibi's big chance at instant peace in the Middle East: have the Mossad extract him and drop him off as a tight laced parcel on Khomeini's doorstep.
