Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Pelosi threatens $5,000 fines for House members that bypass Capitol metal detectors
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced severe fines for House members who avoid metal detectors set up at entrances in the wake of last week’s riot at the US Capitol after several Republican lawmakers ignored and mocked the new security precaution.
Mass Hysteria and Covid-19
Possible?
Excerpt :
The public has been frightened to its core, resulting in suicides and public freak-outs. Examples abound on the net showing some poor person getting a positive test for Covid-19 and breaking into tears or panicking despite the fact that they felt fine and have no symptoms.
This is further compounded by panicky government shut-downs in much of the country at the behest of the state health departments.
...
Hysterical Contagion has happened a lot over the centuries...
With Covid, there is no other explanation for the major discrepancies from country to country. The nations with worsening situations have the loudest media sensationalizing the situation. Find a country that is not influenced by modern Western media and the cases and deaths drop.

You see it bro. 👀
Zac946: @ZubyMusic It's fascinating when you really look at how big a part the media plays in this. They can take any situation (the Capitol Hill riot for example) and turn it into a racial issue - because FEAR is the primary driver of ratings. Classic divide and conquer happening.

@mhjohnson looks like our Democrat governor (like others) is going to stop torturing the citizens right as his guy takes the presidency. I guess coincidences do happen.
It is amazing how many people seem to have discovered last Wednesday that riots are wrong — when many of those same people apparently had not noticed that when riots went on, for weeks or even months, in various cities across the country last year.

With everything that’s going on now, did the left just admit they were wrong about the Christian cake baker from Colorado?
It’s a private company they can do what they want. https://twitter.com/ksorbs/status/1348809852425019393 #Colorado

First you violate his right to speak. Then you argue he should be removed because you violated it. With logic like that, no wonder you’re a Communist.
Bernie Sanders: Let's be clear. If Trump is too dangerous to send out a tweet or a Facebook post, he's too dangerous to be commander-in-chief. Donald Trump must be removed from office immediately and held accountable for his horrific acts of sedition, violence and chaos.

ZUBY:: If you think that offensive speech should be banned then you probably haven't thought very hard about what that would actually entail...
'Offense' is one of the most subjective things that exists.

The way I see it, Twitter is committing suicide & it’s perfectly fine.

@lo interesting idea..
From what I see, the scale/rating is just based on which sources are covering a story. If a story about something non political....an ice cream recipe.... Was reported by two sources that are typically left and one that's typically right, it would be a 67% Left story.
Dissent stopped being patriotic this week when the left won the senate.
#uspol #Democrats #Unity2020
@freemo Agreed. What stood out to me on that day was that Twitter blocked retweets of his call to go home and that we just have peace.
For all his unhelpful whining, he didn't incite and called everyone to be lawful and to go home once unlawful things happened.
So Trump didn't cause the reaction. I think the left gaining power is what's caused it. And we have long years ahead of the assault on non compliance.
@freemo yeah, I really didn't provide any context..... Not sure I have a fully formulated idea yet...
At the moment thinking of the emails I got from my senator and representative (both dems) saying that Trump must be forcefully removed from office hours/days before his term is over, shortly after he earned more votes than anyone in any previous election, and after he's already committed to a peaceful transition of power.
There's a lot more that seems to fit into the theme of, maybe now that the left had won power, using that immediately against those who disagree. Left riots left to continue for months, the single local peaceful protest this week for Trump apparently shut down. The moves of the left run tech companies....
Everything seems to be about dividing and accusing and punishing any who don't align. Resistance is futile, unity of the borg collective.
Just some early morning half-baked thoughts.
