I have no problem with the My Pillow Guy being 'cancelled'. I realize it'll put some people out of work, but it's simply another way to speak truth to power.

Conservative voices ... are being silenced ...

Business owners and other wealthy people who support fascism (especially financially) need to know that they do not live in a vacuum. It's time corporate America started actually living by their publicized principles.

I can see a push to make donations secret and it an offense to disclose details thereof ... which has the added advantage of hiding where the money comes from, as well as where it goes. After all, this is a country where...

Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party ?

and nobody thought it odd ...

www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/01/statement.html

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement:

American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.

These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.

It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they're not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.

DGRossetti · 19/01/2021 16:50

And I have a feeling that that the majority of his employees either support his views or are content to stand idly by.

I think that's unfair a little.

Shock Say what you mean Pompeo! "They distort our glorious founding" does he mean the colonisation of America and the slaughter of Native Americans followed by slavery? What a disgusting man.

I think with swearing in they like to make it as public as possible in order to fend off legitimacy claims.

Obama redid his Oath of Office at the WH after misspeaking a few words during his first swearing in and there’s that famous photo of Lyndon B Johnson taking the Oath with Jackie Kennedy standing next to him in her bloodstained clothes.

I thought it's more akin to a coronation ? Harking back to the fact that it was the one chance the average citizen got to see their head of state ? Which admittedly does feed into their claim to legitimacy. Although if the level of pomp is related to the need for legitimacy, I really have to wonder what the hell the Saxe-Coburgs Windsors have been up to ...

It feels a bit like Christmas Eve, but you already know what you’ll get when you open the present. A restoration of American democracy, decency, and hope.

This old republican speaks so much sense, and succinctly explains about how 'take our country back' comes from the big lie that the US is supposed to be ruled by whites and everyone else is 'other' and therefore inferior. But the 'others' have taken over and are wanting to have as many rights as the white folk.

DuncinToffee · 19/01/2021 18:07

More from McConnell

Zach Purser Brown @zachjourno

McConnell also implying here that there may be ramifications for Senators who egged on the mob. Ted Cruz was in the Senate chair as McConnell spoke

Yes and let's also make sure you and other stop buying from companies who use sweatshops or use animals to test products on...oh wait selective cancelling it seems.

How do you even know what his employees political views are? And what does it have to do with job? Does it stop them turning up and working to earn money?

Do you, yourself make sure everything you buy meets a certain political and moral standard?

Do you think next time you go to vote that should your vote or express your support or meet someone of the opposite side be that information is used against you? Because its a slippery slope in that case.

Does anyone know if it's true that Trump can issue 'secret pardons'?
Apparently Presidential Pardons (or parsons as I originally typed) are a matter of Public Record. So officially , No.

But this is Trump who ignores rules

NotaRealLawyer · 19/01/2021 18:23

Isn't Trump supposed to be releasing a farewell video ( or did I imagine that?)
