Making bad business decisions because you're a jackass? Say hello to Twitter.

 Nearly 80 million people voted for Donald Trump and Twitter thinks it's a good idea to ban him. That's not a great idea you twits... 


Fans of President Donald Trump appear to be leaving Twitter after the website permanently banned the president’s account. One Twitter user using the hashtag #GoodbyeTwitter wrote “Before I say #GoodbyeTwitter and #HelloParler, I want to ask everyone to Pray for Our President”
 
The Associated Press reports that Trump’s supporters have been flocking to Parler, GAB, and other “free speech” social media sites known to cater to conservative voices in the past few days.

Pass-A-Grille Beach is a quiet community at the very south end of St. Pete Beach.  It is on the tip of the barrier island that separates the Gulf of Mexico from Boca Ciega Bay. Buddy of mine just bought a house up there - Looking forward to going up and checking it out. Ya tend to forget how big a state Florida is. I live about an hour from Orlanda in NorthCentral Florida. This place is near Tampa - and that's two hours from here.

... 

It's time for you to start to really think about your own personal safety and the safety of your loved ones - especially if you live in a 'gun-free state'.
 
Readers here have been telling me for a while now that not only are they buying them for themselves,  they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. I think that's a great idea. 
 
Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days...


There are a couple different strengths available here - find the one for you:

Of all the pictures their guy took, they used this one. 
What does that tell ya?

About 100 Trump supporters and dozens of counter-demonstrators, some of whom described themselves as anti-fascists, faced off for hours in the heart of Pacific Beach in San Diego on Saturday, with officers trying to keep the opposing groups apart following several skirmishes.
The dueling demonstrations shut down Mission Boulevard near the Crystal Pier. Police declared the gathering unlawful and ordered the crowds to disperse about 2:30 p.m.

Police reported on Twitter that officers had been struck by a glass bottle. Rocks and eggs were also being thrown at police, and pepper spray was being deployed in their direction from the crowd, police said. They did not say who was responsible. During one confrontation, officers fired what appeared to be pepper ball rounds into the anti-fascist crowd.

He's the world's richest man because he founded two different companies, neither of which has ever made a single fuckin' penny in profit. You figure it out. That kinda shit makes my head hurt.

Yes, I would live there happily.

A Pennsylvania teacher has been suspended for participating in the DC riots on Wednesday. The educator was not identified but works for the Allentown School District, the Morning Call reported Friday, citing a letter from Superintendent Thomas Parker. The letter also does not specify the teacher’s school.
 
“We understand that many members of our community are upset by the image,” Parker said in the letter. “At the same time, the district has an obligation to respect the First Amendment rights of our staff and students. “Because of the emotion and controversy stirred by the events of January 6, 2021, the teacher has been temporarily relieved of his teaching duties until the School District can complete a formal investigation of his involvement.”
 
Parker also warns that while “we all have the right to express ourselves, it is important to do respectfully,” calling on his staff to “think carefully about what they share online.” The Keystone State teacher is one of many protesters who have been fired or asked to resign for taking part in the unprecedented demonstration against the 2020 election results in Washington, DC.

What the fuck gives these people the right to fuck with a person's job for something they did off duty? They aren't a fuckin' judge and jury, even if they think they are. Just more jerkoffs with perceived powers.

The thousands of Trump supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday carried with them flags sporting so-called 'extremist and far-right' symbols. Flags and symbols as numbered above: 1. Altered national/state flags with pro-Second Amendment statements; 2. Second Amendment rights flags; 3. Gadsden Flag that has become a sign of opposition to government restrictions and oppression; 4. Betsey Ross / America First flag, used by groups as a signal of an idea of more traditional America, which they believe is whiter and male; 5. Pine Tree Flag, features the motto 'An Appeal to Heaven', a quote from John Locke's 'Second Treatise of Government'. The quote argued that the American people have rights that cannot be infringed upon by the government and claimed that rebellion is justified if it is to defend those rights; 6. flag of the right-wing Three Percenters; 7. Trump flags; 8. 'Come and Take it' flag promoting Second Amendment rights featuring the motto used as a battle cry for Texas independence.
