This is just cowardice dressed up like courage.
Zuck let the far-right organizations feed people a constant stream of misinformation and conspiracy theories for years. To the point, millions have become radicalized through FB.
He is just as complicit as anyone else when it comes to what happened yesterday

If I were Dems I would blow up the filibuster to get DC statehood and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act through. Those items right there would change the game and would be worth it.

They can't rewrite the last four years with hollow statements like this.
They condoned, encouraged, and amplified his behavior. There isn't a single thing they can do to wash the stench of betrayal off their bodies now that he has tried to abuse the power they've given him.

Dems need to win the Senate by like 56-58 to be able to drop the filibuster. At 50, no chance they do it now.

YUP.. modern day murdoch to me
until murdoch AND this dude are heavily regulated and actually face consequences, countries will continued to be F'd
Why New Zealand rejected populist ideas other nations have embraced
Labour’s historic win delivered Ardern a second term while voters punished politicians who embraced populism
Murdoch-owned press
In Australia – where news outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch have been decried for driving confrontational politics and elevating populist sentiment – “right direction” polls were often negative too.
“A huge reason that our politics is not so extremely polarised and so far out there is because we no longer have Murdoch-owned press in New Zealand, and it’s never taken a foothold,” said David Cormack, the co-founder of a public relations firm and a former head of policy and communications for the left-leaning Green party.
In Britain, a majority had felt the country was headed in the wrong direction before 2016’s Brexit vote, in which 52% voted to leave the European Union, Farrar said.
Such sentiment allowed populist movements to gain momentum, Farrar said, something that contented New Zealanders had mostly avoided. It did not hurt that marginal views are often given short shrift in a country that views dramatic public displays as faintly embarrassing.
Advance NZ, a new party in the 2020 election that made its name by campaigning against Ardern’s Covid-19 restrictions, vaccinations, the United Nations, and 5G technology, won just 0.9% of the vote, attracting 21,000 ballots from the 2.4 million New Zealanders who cast them.
The result means the party will not enter parliament. Two days before the election, Facebook removed Advance NZ’s page from its platform for spreading Covid-19 misinformation.
“They are cynical, opportunistic narcissists and this is absolutely what they deserved,” said Emma Wehipeihana, a political commentator for 1 News, in election night remarks that were widely applauded on social media.

Everyone should read Adam Sewer's essay "The Nationalist Delusion", he points out how over history white nationalists have always tried to reframe their actions as innocuous when a plan fails.
All this insurrection has done is given all these ghouls a chance to distance themselves from a beast they help create, protect, and grow over the past 4 years.

In a rational country this would be the end of the republican party
We don't live in one so this won't negatively affect them at all

Just let him travel outside the country. I won't be surprised if the Iranians don't come after him personally. He bit a little too much, thinking that he would be president for life. He got personal grudges with governments now.

This is all I want to see. People getting fired and charged with federal crimes.
Also need to see Trump get 25’d or impeached ASAP.

When you call in sick but your boss catches you at the skrip club.
" The next US attorney general, under Joe Biden, should not “pursue a criminal investigation of Donald Trump”, Comey writes, “no matter how compelling the roadmap left” by the special counsel Robert Mueller, or “how powerful the evidence strewn across his history of porn stars and financial fraud”."

They're in full effect defense mode today at work.
Their included talking points:
Not as bad as what BLM did to the country.
Only one building and not that much damage was done.
Not many issues were caused compared to the riots.
No where near the harm or serious bodily injuries as the BLM riots.

These folks are either incredibly dumb, incredibly disingenuous, or legit dont understand how close this is to being a call for (civil) war.
