This is the politics the left made based on threats of power, not peaceful persuasion : Comments
By Graham Young, published 14/1/2021I guess like me you've been more than a little shocked at the Republican 'insurrection' in the United States. But for me it has been a double shock. Not only am I shocked, but I'm shocked that I'm shocked.

2. « ... even banning Trump from Twitter »
Twitter Inc. declared :
« In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.
We [subsequently] assessed [two Trump tweets] and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 » :

3. « … and Facebook »
Facebook declared :
« We believe the risks of allowing President Trump to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great, so we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks » :

« President Donald Trump and others filed and lost over 60 lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence. Judges, lawyers, and other observers described the suits as "frivolous" and "without merit".
Trump, his attorneys, and his supporters falsely asserted widespread election fraud in public statements, though few such assertions were made in court. » :

All that said, Graham, allow me to add that deciphering the enigma encrypted language of Donald Trump is no easy task. I should not be surprised if he sometimes can’t even find the key himself – so often he contradicts himself !
Truth, facts and belief are all interchangeable. They are all the same thing so far as Trump is concerned. But they vary according to the circumstances, the person whom he is addressing, and whatever his objective happens to be at that particular moment.
The unique key to understanding Donald Trump is that he is a pathological liar. That is the only thing that is certain. It is all you can count on.
Lest we forget !
