(4,846 posts)As more and more things are blocking access for Trump, this is looking more and more like the FBI got tips of something big and are doing everything to stop the lies from spreading. I now believe there is a real threat to Biden's inauguration and they are trying to stop Trump from adding fuel to the fire.
It doesn't make sense that everything from social media, app store, email providers are all individually making the decision suddenly to block his access all at once.

(19,140 posts)This is coordinated and complete. They are stopping him from launching something awful in the American people.
No way did all the tech companies decide to feeds him out at once.

(32,803 posts)They would be so foolish to plan something else. DC is NOT having a repeat of 1/6!!
Claustrum
(4,846 posts)But I think someone is planning something big and using Trump as an excuse to spread it among his cult followers. And Trump is happily adding fuel on top of that fire. That's why there is a coordinated effort to stop Trump from spreading his lies.
I would be curious to hear more about this weeks later when they can disclose the details.

(14,864 posts)Sure, a couple of seargent at arms posts were vacated, but trumps appointee is still there and all the troops report to him.
Seriously, they should hold the swearing in at a military base and postpone the festivities for a week.
Nothing has really changed.
Claustrum
(4,846 posts)with most things going virtual because of COVID. I don't think it is/was going to be a big event anyways. I just don't see how they can penetrate and get to where Biden will be. Now that 1/6 happened, I am sure no one (besides small number of guest invited) will be allowed to be anywhere near Biden and the place he holds his sworn in ceremony.

(21,645 posts)(via DU links on other topics), Magats are planning a HUGE turnout in DC, starting on Jan 17. I always read additional tweets besides the ones linked. Several with access to Magat media sites quoted them as saying they would rather burn DC down than allow a Democrat in the WH.
So I think plans for the inauguration week are related to the WH. It's logical. They attacked the Capitol when their complaint was about Congress.
It occurred to me that Trump could invite Magats to the White House for a rally and allow them to stay to occupy it. Magat sites say they expect to force the country to accept a second term for Trump or destroy DC. So, if they occupy the White House and can't get Trump a second term, they might decide to trash the building, maybe burn it.

wnylib
(21,645 posts)close to each other is convenient for the terrorists, but the magat posts specifically mention keeping Biden literally out of the WH and forcing the nation to accept a second term for Trump or else they will trash DC.
If they occupy the WH, thry could issue their ultimatum from there. Obviously not all the tens of thousands of militia members expected to be there would fit in the WH, but select leaders could be given access by Trump before he skips the country.
LeftInTX
(25,595 posts)I'm afraid Trump won't leave the WH on the 20th.
He if leaves earlier, I guess he could invite the Magats to stay and destroy it. But I can't see him leaving early and he won't stay near those filthy people for more than a few minutes.
wnylib
(21,645 posts)a flight to Scotland, to be there on the 20th. I don't know which day he expects to arrive. The Scots don't want him, but AFAIK, they have not yet forbidden him to come.
Trump wants to fo do something really "spectacularly" destructive, to blow up the system. When his anger was at Congress, the focus was the Capitol. Now his anger is at the next president, so, logically, the WH would be his target.
I have not seen any evidence of a plan to occupy or destroy the WH. But I have seen online the posts of magats who have planned an even bigger action for the 20th. Their posts have declared that they will destroy DC before they will let Biden into the WH. That's the basis for my concern that the WH is the focus of their destructive energy. Of course I could be wrong and they could have something else planned.

also stop working.
For the time being they are dead. At least until they can rehost on another service provider. This may be difficult for them.

I seriously doubt all of these decisions are totally independent among various private organizations.

(14,858 posts)I finally stopped after all of that beer-drinking was making me pretty puffy! I'd make 5 gallons at a time, and I gave much of it away to friends and family, but I'd still have lots of bottles and I didn't want it to be wasted. Plus I'd need empty bottles for new batches.
The gained weight was pretty much distributed everywhere, not just a bigger gut. So I didn't really look much heavier, but I had actually gained about 40 pounds above normal and all my clothes were too tight.
There's a fairly-close liquor/beer store that sells beer from all over the world (rated the best in Ohio per BeerAdvicate), and I sampled pretty much everything that were considered prime examples of various beer styles for the competitions.
The Westmalle Tripel was my favorite style, full of flavors from the yeast used to ferment it, and not bitter from over-hopping, but it was also one of the few beers that I could never emulate! I probably needed one of the monks from their monastery to tell me what I was doing wrong. Lol!
I'm going to log out now, just to let you know in case you reply again.
sprinkleeninow
(20,267 posts)Thanx for the Westmalle recomendation?
I'm Slovak descent and the peoples are very fond of beer! When I was a kiddo and my dad would have a 'pivo', I would ask for a taste and he'd give me a small amount. It was common practice.
Peace be to you.

Especially when you think about how he fully thinks that he can do WHATEVER he wants and that no one can stop him (except for Putin). That fall is even more painful. I wonder if his mind is shattering? Pelosi is absolutely right in being concerned about the nuclear codes. He is unstable and Pence has a duty to put him down.

Remember when he said "I'm actually under leveraged?". That was a tell.
There's no such thing as under leveraging. He made that up as a way to deny that the D/E of the organization is around 9, and personal assets are pledged against those loans.
I think what scares him most is that the confiscatory collection methods from which he was shielded by the office will soon be in play.
I think his biggest fear is being broke and being exposed as one of America's biggest business frauds.
