They have elected respresentation. 50 senators and whatever in the house. Your idea of elected representation is dictatorial powers. Your side big reach was to get the ACA in reality, they didn't have the votes and aspects of the law itself are pretty popular especially the preexisting conditions and the ACA expansion. That was your big reach along with tax cuts. The GOP got wiped out in 2018 precisely because the attempt to repeal the ACA was unpopular.

Take off the drama pants, you have elected representation but for some reason you think your 74 million votes was more important than 81 million. It doesn't compute, it's nonsense.

Oh no! "They" got to Parler too.

It seems that even the "free speech" social network Parler has its limits.

The social network that has attracted scores of conservative commentators because of its commitment to free speech has taken down several posts from Trump affiliate Lin Wood, according to a report in Mediaite.

In one of the posts removed from the social media platform, Wood called for the execution of Vice President Mike Pence .

In a statement to Mediaite, Parler chief executive John Matze confirmed that the service had taken action against Wood's posts to the platform.

“Yes, some of his parleys that violated our rules were taken down,” Matze told Mediaite. “Including the ones you are talking about.”

The move from Parler is significant because it would mark one of the first instances of a high profile conservative figure having their content removed from the service.

Parler, despite its reputation as a social platform dedicated to free speech, does have some rules governing content.

And, as Mediaite flagged, the posts from Wood likely ran afoul of a rule in the company's terms of service that states "reported parleys, comments, or messages sent using our service will be deemed a violation of these Guidelines if they contain: an explicit or implicit encouragement to use violence, or to commit a lawless action, such that: (a) the Parleyer intends his or her speech to result in the use of violence or lawless action, and (b) the imminent use of violence or lawless action is the likely result of the parley, comment, or message."

Wood, whose account remains active on Parler, had his Twitter account suspended on Thursday, as Forbes reported at the time.

Twitter permanently bans President Trump

Meanwhile, the incitements to execute Pence seem to have been animating factor for at least some of the rioters who stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday. Reuters Photo News Editor Jim Bourg tweeted about hearing at least three different rioters hoping to "find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor."

I think Liney enjoyed Banning me from World Crossing though I might have deserved it.

My banning days are over forever, Packy. Life is too short.

I like your contributions nowadays. Good stuff.

As of today, 74 million people, give or take, have no elected representation.

Yep.

And starting January 21, the revenge begins.

Chuck, Nancy and the squad have a nice list of everything and everyone that they want purged from their perfect society.

Chuck and Nancy will get their revenge by trying to get additional COVID stimulus and fixing the medicaid gap in the ACA.

Now Alex Jones knows how normal people feel about him.

What horrible optics. I’m not sure it matters, though.

What horrible optics. I’m not sure it matters, though.

You could say that about just about every event over the last four years.

Of course it didn't matter to the MAGAs before, it doesn't matter now.

You mean the death of a radicalized domestic terrorist?

You are correct. It means nothing.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a veteran, too. Let’s not pretend that just because someone was in the goddamn Air Force that they are immune from consequences of horrible decisions.
