Well I'll say this for Trump..he's never boring is he..

Trumpanzee is the mobster cave man gift that keeps giving!

You literally could not make this up! Civil war end game? It is real and not a Hollywood movie?

Goes well with Napa wine and apple pie! Possibly a hamburger as it may drag on for a while...the best of America.

Trump can't tweet until after the vote....

Then he will tweet.

And be immediately almost perma banned.

And thats only if he removes tweets. Otherwise he's already perma banned

Can you picture him right now?

The fury!

He might give himself a heart attack from apoplexy before Congress manages to impeach him.

Omg, his tweet was horrific. Only a 12 hour ban? He’s a fucking disgrace, I cannot believe what is happening, well, actually, I can, I said he was inciting civil war the other day. Fool.

I totally understand why they want to resume democratic activity tonight as a symbolic action, which is brave public service. I hope none of them pick up Covid from those non-masked thugs being in the building though.

The republicans need to actively tweet their support of the certification of the electoral college votes otherwise they are as bad as Trump. How are they going to stop Trump doing any more harm in next 12 days?

Twitter have banned Trumps tweets for next 12 hours. Surely he has to be impeached now as he’s shown to be unsafe to be in the presidency, there’s days to go before Biden actually takes over?

Thanks for the links to deleted tweets.

I think it would surely be a good idea of the POTUS should only be able to tweet from the official presidential Twitter account not his personal one while in office. Is there a reason why he's allowed to use his own account?

How far is he simply carrying this on now for the donations?

Any bets on whether orange man is reckless and super kind of stupid enough to get his corrupt security to clear the path (with tear gas as before) and walk over to that nearby church for a bible photo opportunity?

Or does he needs to be forcefully removed from office? There is no low too low for him as he is simply unprecedented! And unbelievable!

Devlin O'Malley @VPPressSecretary
Vice President @Mike_Pence has returned to the Senate. He never left the Capitol.

@VP was in regular contact w/ House & Senate leadership, Cap Police, DOJ, & DoD to facilitate efforts to secure the Capitol & reconvene Congress.

And now we will finish the People’s business.

Someone is notable by his absence in this. Pence hasn't been in touch with Trump?

Who is in charge?

Just caught up with everything that has happened in America tonight and I am in total shock and disgusted that it has happened. Thoughts are with everyone affected

Congressman Adam Smith on CNN:

“Donald Trump is a narcissistic psychopath. Let’s just be clear about that. He stumbled his way into the presidency. What he believes from a policy standpoint is irrelevant. He is an egotist. He cares about himself. Period.”

He will be beside himself with narcissistic rage. He will be wanting to pull off his own limbs like Rumplestiltskin. Putting all his energies these last months into his efforts to force things to go his way, and now he's going down as a sore loser. (As well as dangerous and destructive and all the other stuff) It's very rare you get to see a psychopathic narcissist abuser get their comeuppance - he's been (and himself I'm sure has felt) unstoppable for so long. But it's coming to and end.
Thank goodness.

This may be one of the fastest moving Trump threads we've had! I need to go to sleep so I hope I don't lose you all over night...

But let's not forget to celebrate Georgia's amazing voters who have elected 2 great new legislators and given Biden control of the Senate. Hopefully it won't be a pile of ashes when Warnock and Ossoff take their seats.

Trump has just been handed a 12hr Twitter ban!

12 hrs if he removes tweets. Otherwise perma ban.

Then hes on last warning anyway which we all know will last for ONE tweet.

So he either wont back down or hes going to prepare the mother of all trump tweets. And thats going to stay up for less than 5 minutes tops. Before he's locked and perma banned.

all PerkingFaintly More like I do not think Biden and Kamala are going to be very good for the US either rather than a die hard Trump supporter.

Really? Good if so, about time. His tweets have been inflammatory for far too long.

Alex Miller @alexmillernews
Senator Rand Paul tells Hill reporters there's probably going to be 30-40 more minutes of debate and ONE vote. He says he doesn't think there's going to be an objection.

"I think it's over."

Significant if true.

So is Pence now in charge? The orange one is holed up in the White House effectively silenced without his Twitter account. If he is banned from Twitter until inauguration day, does the coup effectively stop?

I can imagine him yelling and shouting at the TV and his staff and them all going "yes dear" and ignoring him.

How on earth can they be worse than Trump?

I remember his niece, Mary Trump,making the same point a few months ago about how he would never accept defeat and would act like a destructive child throwing a tantrum.
