Facebook will begin removing all content that mentions the phrase "stop the steal," a full 69 days after Election Day.
The social media giant said in a blog post that it will ramp up enforcement against the phrase because it was used by those who participated in last week's riots at the US Capitol.
"With continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence, and use of the term by those involved in Wednesday's violence in DC, we're taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration," Guy Rosen, Facebook's VP of integrity, wrote in a post about the company's preparation for Inauguration Day.
Facebook added that it will continue its weeks-long ban on all US political advertising.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Who knew that GoFundMe could be such a great tool for the wealthy to try to overthrow democracy by sponsoring the mentally unstable.

So one Qanon Republican representative is tweeting about Pelosi’s whereabouts while the seditionists are inside the building and another, along with a bunch of other right wingers, is laughingly refusing masks even when offered by a conscientious colleague. I think the COVID count is now up to three. Rep. Jayapal is super pissed about contracting the virus and being locked in with “Republican lawmakers who cruelly and selfishly refused to wear masks.”
She went on to say, “Only hours after President Trump incited a deadly assault on our Capitol, our country, and our democracy, many Republicans still refused to take the bare minimum COVID-19 precaution and simply wear a damn mask in a crowded room during a pandemic — creating a superspreader event on top of a domestic terrorist attack.”
That party is not salvageable.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

"So one Qanon Republican representative is tweeting about Pelosi’s whereabouts"
the delusion is real, fellas - even if the claim is not (see Post 207). one (loony) House member was among many members who tweeted at the time that Pelosi had to leave the House chambers. the rest is just fevered imagination - led by one particularly fevered (and false) claim here that the House member was providing basically a play-by-play of Pelosi's location, hoping that Trump supporters found and killed Pelosi.
if I have learned one thing about this thread, it is this: one group of suckers who fell for anything they were told is being replaced by another one.
the "bipartisan" part is that for both groups, truth is - well, "inconvenient," to coin a phrase.
it's not enough that the nutty House member spouts all sorts of nonsense. no, the real dop(e)amine gets released by selling something far more insidious - and the sheep go right along with it.
so far, the left gets to say, "hey, at least we didn't break into the Capitol building." very true.
but anyone who thinks the seeds are not, even now, being sewn for a new kind of batshit crazy outburst is not paying attention.
the most important hurdle for any propagandist to overcome is to get followers to stop caring about what's true, and what isn't.
that hurdle, as evidenced here, has been overcome. look at what gets criticized and mocked here - not phony claims, but accurate information.
the rest, therefore, may be relatively easy.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Even your link acknowledges it was partially true. While she didn't post Pelosi's exact location (which she probably didn't even know), she did save them the time of finding that out on their own. Your sanctimonious holier-than-thou schtick is completely ridiculous and our collective mockery has nothing to do with groupthink but rather with your own continued behavior. Your constant refrain for the rest of us to "look in the mirror" seems to have completely escaped you.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

If there's anything that 2020/2021 has taught us, is that you can't "fix" the deranged. For all the "logic" that was likely attempted by friends and family of those Trumpies, they still stormed the Capital Building.
Now if you want to post clown pics, as his post deserves, I'm all for it.
