Trump will go down as the worst president in the history of this country. There is no salvaging any part of his legacy after today.

Appears like the officer is still on life support and they're waiting for the family to arrive.

lmfao @ caring that much about golf

I think its less about golf and more about Bedminster. That golf course is his baby.

I also understand the fear of Social Media regulating world leaders, but what choice did they have? Twitter has been bending over backwards trying not to ban Trump for months. They had to draw the line somewhere, and that line was armed insurrection contributing in at least 5 deaths.

So far not the end of the world for them and may be unrelated but twitter stock has gone down 7%.

Could be angry conservatives dumping Twitter stock. I also think there's fear of individual countries attempting to regulate Twitter after Merkel's statement.

Those fears seems overblown for now. As long as Twitter doesn't make it a habit of banning the personal accounts of world leaders, the heat should die down.

Honestly wouldn't having a large crowd to support Biden be a good idea, could be the way to intimidate the Trumpers

Unless they turn the National Mall into a giant parking lot, Biden would never agree to it.

Presumably, folks on the left are split between "no" and "unsure" because many of typical folks have no idea who or what "antifa" is since, well, it's not really a thing except in the right wing media.

It says 11% of Biden supporters think Antifa was involved, so I'm just not going to put much stock into it.

Edit: And 15% of democrats. Usually these YouGov questions give wonky results.
