Trump must be impeached. If he is and the harshest penalty handed out can legally ban him from ever running again, and that must be the desired outcome to cut this cancer from the American political body.
And make no doubt, Trump is a fucking cancer.
The malice and spite of his Presidency has only managed to sink American politics into the lowest pits of obscenity. His lies, his toxic narcissism, his revenge fantasies they all combine to a cruel selfishness that has been exposed by his attempted Orange Lives Matter Insurrection.
For him to lie about a stolen election for 2 months and then set an angry mob into the State Capital Building while his election loss is officially being recorded is fascism.
Naked, foaming, white supremacy drenched fascism.
Trump has manipulated the resentment, ignorance and fear of the white working classes whom Democrats had turned their backs on and he used them for an attempted putsch.
That’s why banning him from Twitter and other social media platforms isn’t a free speech crisis.
Twitter are a private company and can ban anyone based on their terms and agreements and in this case, Trump’s unhinged fanatics are willing to do anything he says and right now Trump is screaming ‘fire’ in a movie theatre.
With a Million Militia March planned for next week, blocking him and his insane followers from actively plotting a public safety threat is the exact response required.
We always say that there is a line between your opinion and incitement, Trump incited and now he’s banned. To pout and cry free speech when this example IS the exception to the rule is bullshit sophistry.
We have a deranged sociopath who has culminated his four years of malevolence with an attempted putsch, allowing him access to his lunatic army via social media would be as irresponsible as transplanting a tumour into your brain.
That’s not to say what the Tech giants have done is righteous, these pricks empowered and gave Trump oxygen for 4 years before suddenly finding a conscience?
So what does the future hold for America?
Listen to his lunatic Qanon Orange Lives Matter Insurrectionists, they honestly believe Trump has had the election stolen by a Satanic Child Sex Murder Cult who helped bioengineer a virus spread by 5G technology to bring about a Satanic one world government.
They believe that insanity.
They are armed to the teeth, have apocalyptic visions of grandeur and believe this January 20th is the moment to live out every evangelical, white supremacist neo-Nazi wet dream they can conjure up.
Trump’s fascists will be responded to by a vast Deep State over reach that will decide what increased powers the State now needs to feels safe by stamping out anyone it decides is a threat.
We might agree Qanon poses an immediate threat, but whatever powers the Deep State picks up today will be used against anyone demanding a more radical economic agenda tomorrow.
Late stage Capitalism in America never looked so ripe for collapse.
I fear this is how the Handmaid’s Tale begins.

The American empire is in the absolute latter days of death and Trump is the result of all their corruption etc.
I’m NO Trump supporter, but look at any American president probably after Eisenhower and they’d all be hung under Nuremburg justice, it’s just that the press haven’t told you the full truth about them.
With Trump we hear about how bad he is all the time, which we should !!!!!
But my point is you get your info ONLY from the MSM, you are misinformed as to how bad Biden is etc.
So IMHO there will be NO change when ‘Trump the disease’ has been removed, its just you won’t hear about it until the ‘result’ hit us square in the face.
NOTHING will change under Biden, other than less reporting of the corruption, USA’s international mass murdering etc.
I dont have much time for America’s political media but it certainly doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that Trump is simply horrid as a human being.
yep – a travesty – the derision is well deserved. – lost all 3 branches of govt. after one term – doh!
Apart from your clear Trump derangement syndrome everything else you write is highly enjoyable.
Coming from you, that can be taken as a compliment…
The evil empire has never really accepted his election as president. Right from the start they tried to get rid of him with ‘russiagate’. He was an outsider, with no experience in politics, but one who seemed more attuned to traditional American values of non interference with other nations, protectionism and industrialism. However he lacked the political ‘smarts’ to achieve much. Nevertheless, despite his incompetence and buffoonery, he has always seemed pretty harmless. The attempt to impeach him seem more a reflection of Democratic Party vindictiveness than anything else.
It looks as though the empire has strucken back
You must be bloody joking! How about the millions who have suffered or died as a result of the endless sanctions, which should be called what they are – war crimes. add to that, the way he has held countries to ransom with threats to financially cripple them. Add to that the way Trump and his side-kicks have given away other peoples lands and homes on endless ‘deals’, been complicit in extra-judicial killings and attempts to overthrow legitimate Governments. We are talking about way more than incompetence, buffoonery and ‘far from harmless’ doesn’t even start to measure the many multiples of evil! Trump makes the most malign of leaders look like choristers.
Wrong on all counts mikesh as the fact that 10 Republicans also voted to impeach and the only American values he knows are the value of how much money he loses and makes.
He will go down as the worst leader in the history of the free world.
Qanon are almost rational compared to the Evangelicals. At least the great conspiracy could theoretically (if it exists) be one day revealed, and the USA return to (somebody’s definition of) normal. Some of the apocalyptic death cultists actually want to bring on the world to speed their way to heaven!
Apart from Schwarzenegger’s speech, few Republicans have done more than preform concern. I can’t think of any USAn religious leaders who have done even that much. Though, I don’t visit Christian websites either, so may have missed that.
“Twitter are a private company and can ban anyone based on their terms and agreements and in this case, Trump’s unhinged fanatics are willing to do anything he says and right now Trump is screaming ‘fire’ in a movie theatre.”
Agreed.
And as RWNJs like to lecture us Lefties when we complain about a biased media: “If you don’t like it, set one up yourself”.
These are indeed dangerous times we live in. 2020 may have been prelude to social/political unrest fomented by a deranged narcissist and throwing fuel onto the fire of conspiracy fantasists and far-right fanatics.
This will be America’s greatest test since 7 December 1941. But this time, the enemy is within and looks like us.
Trump, will be impeached, NOT by his own Party, and sitting congress, but by the landslide victors not only in the house, but also in the congress, and yes those some, not many, who did, and have always harbor indignation to the Trump, ego mania, in the house and congress, of the G.O.P.did add their names to impeachment, now those slithering also now understand best to add our name to that for their political survival.
25, is the number going to be told to the Vice President, gone by lunch time, or, and yes, impeachment, is for sure of this deranged President. What it mean, second time no more he can lie rant bully, no more he can be a runner for the top job, don!t stop him from being at the hidden capitalist top table, better a prison although Federal.
Is he his deranged supporters, whom the authorities are spending bribes for information about these desperadoes, these insurgent rebels who dared to Usurp a legal election massive victory, these what does America call these terrorists, they call them what softer words can our news call these people, this is America, this does not happen here, our news words for other lands Dictator, Terrorist,Despot, not here in this our land of freedom.
How no need for boy Trump, sister Trump, and Giuliani, no need for the reward for arresting them, their guilt is televised for all to see who dares look.
The Donald, being deranged, he and his collection of sycophants have left the White House bunker and have arrived at the lone Stare State, Texas, to visit the wall, that he said Mexico was going to be paying for, his first great lie to the American people, and then preceded to the Alamo,and if you understand American history, you can see the political relevance.
He should under 25 be gone now, only in America.
Trump has completely and utterly lost all grasp of reality. He blames everyone else but himself for HIS ACTIONS. He is a complete lunatic. An insane person who has never admitted to making mistakes and probably has never grown up to be a real adult.
The awful reality too is so many of his supporters take whatever codswallop and bullshit he says as absolute and unquestioned Gospel according to St Donald.
He has created a population, a following that is, that believes in lies, bullshit and everything that is wrong that spews from his mouth as truth and that he is the best president of the united states(deliberate lower case here) of America that it has ever had since the first President. How he has fooled so many of his followers and the is just incredible. It’s almost like a reminder of the dark days of NAZI-ism in Europe during WW2.
Trump has become the Minister of Propaganda like Joseph Goebbels with his: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it….”
Sadly in 2016 and now here in 2020 America got what they voted for. They allowed a despotic lunatic with the attention span of a flea to be their leader. And in return Trump massaged the egos and vulnerabilities of those who are lowly classed, poorly educated, naive and easily misled. Those very people are part of the groups Trump encourages and courts eg the Proud Boys.
We must now notice when it comes to Donald Trump he will encourage his followers to partake of acts of violence but will later condemn those acts because he wants to give the misleading image he is a Great American Hero. He is a coward and probably has been all his entire life. His cowardice has been a a part of him for decades and not for the past 4 years or last two months.
Well said JustMe. Like Goebbels and Hitler himself did to their population, Trump deceived and lied to the population in the USA. Unfortunately, many millions chose to be brainwashed by his toxic rhetoric. There are some like that also in New Zealand who see him as the Messiah – that he can do no wrong. In supporting him they display their intellectual inability to see through the lies.
HE US COMPULSORY UNIONISM.
If Twitter continues to make decisions like this which have affected not just the likes of Trump but other right of centre actors then surely that means they are exercising editorial judgement? The obvious follow on from that is that they are a young as publishers and should then be responsible for their content which they have resisted firmly.
