ImPOTUS

Thankfully, yes. The orange idiot will be gone in ten days.

There is talk of a high ranking VIP and entourage coming to stay at a golf resort in Scotland.

The orange idiot may be looking for somewhere that will offer him asylum ( political, criminal or just mental )

That's been shot down. He's not welcome there either.

It seems that if he arrives on the 19th it would be as a President and "diplomatic immunity" could be applied to hinder to any action against his arrival.
If he does arrive then the 21st when he is no longer president (*) could see some interesting events.

(*) except in his deranged mind he is of course still president.

It's a cosplay convention outing for fantasists.

Like Trekkies but violent criminals.

According to the FBI armed mass protests are being planned across the U.S. on the day of Joe Bidens inauguration.
Instead of drawing a line under Trumps period as president and moving on, the Democrats decision to charge Trump with insurrection will only make matters worse.

Failure to act just let's the terrorists win. Sometimes you have to do the right thing no matter what the insurgents threaten.

On the subject of Twitter, isn't it a strange turn of events that a children's entertainment company has more power than the supposed most powerful man in the world? ImPOTUS indeed, but how has it come to this? Surely Twitter's activities, such as enabling ISIS's communications all those years ago, are treacherous, and the President is authorised, empowered and obliged to curtail those activities?

Apparently not, but Trump has 75 million supporters - real supporters unlike Biden's forged ones - and he has massive wealth, so why does he need the likes of Twitter as a medium of communication? Trump's failing has been logistical, he has not been able to mobilise his troops as it were, due to his inarticulacy and use of a third-party, i.e. Twitter (which turned out to be Traitor) for communications.

Trump should create his own media, otherwise he will always be beholden.

Even Angela Merkel thinks it's a bad idea and they don't get more left wing than her.

Donald Trump's Twitter ban is 'problematic,' says Angela Merkel | Euronews

German Chancellor Angela Merkel considers US President Donald Trump's eviction from Twitter by the company "problematic," her spokesman said on Monday.

Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the microblogging platform on Friday, citing a "risk of further incitement of violence" in the wake of the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of the outgoing president.

Asked about Twitter's decision, Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said the operators of social media platforms "bear great responsibility for political communication not being poisoned by hatred, by lies and by incitement to violence".

He said it's right not to "stand back" when such content is posted, for example by flagging it.

The sentiment was echoed at EU level by the bloc's top diplomat Josep Borrell.

In a blog post published on Sunday, he wrote: "What we saw on Wednesday was only the climax of very worrying developments happening globally in recent years. It must be a wake-up call for all democracy advocates".

"To fight delusion and attacks on democratic values, and to overcome divisions of our societies. Not only in the US. All over the world, there are political leaders – in opposition and also increasingly in power – ready to undermine democratic institutions".

But Seibert also said that freedom of opinion is a fundamental right of "elementary significance".

"This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined by legislators - not according to a decision by the management of social media platforms," he told reporters in Berlin.

"Seen from this angle, the Chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the US president have now been permanently blocked".

Facebook suspended Trump's account on Thursday until January 20 - the day of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration - and possibly indefinitely.

Merkel herself does not have a Twitter account, although Seibert does and many German government ministers do.

She's left wing pretending to be a conservative, but my point is I think it's more a case of being careful what you wish for, social media platforms have set themselves up for a fall, there will now be legislation.
In the future, when you make an anti Trump or Johnson post on social media, you may well be shut down or have the police knocking at your door.
Merkel makes a valid point.

Well that's me foooooooooooked.

I agree with Merkel.

There are better ways to expose Trump.

Careful mate, you have the right to remain silent, but anything you do post might be taken down as evidence and used against you.
