Trump is the worst modern president. I don’t know where I put that cutoff, though. Is it post Nixon... ?

It may have dawned on him that attempting to overthrow the government of United States of America and declare himself emperor may not look good with a Southern District of New York jury. He can't play the victim card since he now is responsible for a failed coup. He already had a ton of lawmakers waiting for him to leave the security of the presidency so they can pounce. Now people who were on the fence about prosecuting him are out for blood.
I saw that he's been banned from Facebook and Instagram until his term is over but I don't see any news about a ban from Twitter (besides the 12 hour ban).

The only reason Trump’s been silent is because he doesn’t have a platform to spew his bullshit, nothing more complicated than that. As for the notion that he thinks he screwed up, that’s debatable too, in four years as president, he’s never admitted being wrong about anything, so it’s unlikely he’ll own up to what happened yesterday.

I would prefer that he'd be banned from Facebook and Twitter for life, but of course, "private enterprise", etc. I actually don't mind the prospect of Facebook being broken up for monopoly concerns.
I still hope that 45 gets hit with some substantive criminal charges in the near future, when he can't cling to bogus claims about audits or presidential immunity.
when MAGA-geddon happened yesterday, I was outdone. Not to say that I wasn’t outdone throughout these past four years of mayhem and madness, but it seemed to be a perversely-appropriate climax to all the hate-furnace-stoking that Mr. 45 and the Tea Party coterie have facilitated for years now.
It is so galling that several Republicans still want to treat this incident like there were a couple of parking lot fender-benders or even just an ultra-isolated scuffle between a handful of people. This can't stand. I'll be writing to my own congressional reps and Senators.
That's amazing.
My favorite "It was Antifa" moment was when they found a picture from during the invasion of a guy with a hammer and sickle tattoo. Clearly he must be a Communist, and thus can't be MAGA.
Only it turns out it wasn't a hammer and sickle, it was the logo from a videogame and he was aparenlty just some Gamergate troll. The internet's wild today.

Saying he does not have a platform is not all the way true. he can go to Fox News any time he wants. Do you think NBC or CNN would turn down the chance to talk to him the day after a failed coup. he may not think he fucked up. But he has all kinds of platforms.

Poll: Majority of Republicans blame Biden for mob storming the Capitol
No surprise. I’m seeing in my twitter feed a lot of conservative supporters who think Biden somehow got antifa to masquerade as Trump voters in order to make Trump look bad.

They also hate black people, women’s rights, gay rights, health care, and getting anything in return for the taxes they hate paying and think a world wide pandemic is a hoax, so it’s hard to take too much stock in their opinions, but it is frightening how stupid half the country is.
Worst President is tricky, because you have to take history into account. Was the Civil War (Buchannan) worse that the Great Depression (Hoover)? Were the Watergate lies worse than the Iraq War lies?
But there can be no doubt, Trump is the worst person to ever occupy the Oval Office. His immorality, criminality, treason and incompetence puts him at the bottom of all the other men.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Weren't the majority of Republicans fine with the state of the COVID-smashed economy, and the amount of dead people from it, because they couldn't possibly turn around and blame the sitting Republican president during it?
Yeah **** their feelings, only useful as a reminder/motivating factor for future elections. I can only hope they continue to be stupid enough to believe the system is rigged and drop their votes for guns/coup attempts.
