Confessing to a federal crime on a live-stream can only be described as suicidal.

The “America First” eCelebs will be in prison by the end of the Year. Mark my words. There is a digital trail of funding during the “stop the steal” period. And here Fuentes is bragging about disrupting Congress—not claiming that things got out of hand but establishing intent.
You could say all criminals secretly want to get caught... My sense is that Zoomers can’t separate real-world consequences—in this case, those that come from attacking the government itself—and the “lulz” and “keks” of playing a video game.
Whatever the case, the dominos are going to fall in the coming months... I always despised Nick Fuentes and everything he represents. But even I never wished something like this to happen to him.

§230 of the Decency Act gives tech companies immunity from being sued for libel over comments left on these platforms. It lays the groundwork for treating these companies as neutral platforms, not publishers.
Basically, if the New York Times publishes libel, you can sue them. If someone publishes libel in a reply to one of your tweets, you can't sue Twitter.

This is a reasonable law, as it acknowledges a fundamental difference between old and new media.
Critics of §230 are correct when they say that Twitter was able to grow into a major platform, in part, by being immune to libel suits. This was also the basis of the "Wild West" nature of social media throughout the 2010s.

Many MAGA people have lamented, "How can Twitter ban Trump, when they allow this or that dictator to tweet freely?"

There might actually be more to this rhetorical question...
From reports we've heard, Pence overtook Trump's authority in calling in the national guard. Nancy Pelosi has openly talked about preventing Trump from accessing nuclear capabilities, etc.
Many assume that Twitter banned Trump at the behest of woke millennials on staff—which is a fair assumption and undoubtedly played a role.

I support the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump from office.
Impeachment has the trappings of a criminal or civil trial. But it’s not really a legal matter. No one goes to jail or pays a settlement. Impeachment is political. The government exercises this process when it cannot function, or doubts the competence of the leader.
Trump is driven by an instinct for chaos. January 6 was an example of this: he explicitly exhorted his wildest supporters to march on Congress ... he then left them high and dry, denounced them, and uttered platitudes against violence.

Alright, this will be one of my least controversial, most "normie-friendly," "no-brainer" tweet storms of all time.
People love "government" when "government" means a simple, non-means-tested entitlement. Everyone loves social security and medicare. UBI is now popular, etc. On the other hand, many people hate complicated, unfair welfare programs, and most everyone is suspicious of foreign aid.
If government just created a $500 billion bill to send $2,000 to everyone over the age of 18, the whole country would be united at Christmas. It's that simple. (Rich people who don't need the cash could be guilt-tripped into donating it to charity or whatever.)

Michelle Malkin in 2011:

"[Trump] built his entire empire in defiance of core Tea Party principle. It's time for those conservatives who've been flirting with Donald Trump to get serious themselves...
"Getting emails from conservatives 'welcoming' Ronald McDonald Chump. Would be refreshing to see more conservatives telling him to f— off."

It is remarked how unified the American Right is right now. There has not been (at least not yet) a post-Trump “crackup” of any kind.
I randomly flipped on Sean Hannity on the radio. He’s interviewing Bill O’Reilly (!). They’re saying the same fundamental thing as Alex Jones (just with less bombast). They were even warning of violence if the “truth about the elections” gets out.
Much like the “Boogaloo” movement, they seem to imagine average normie conservatives taking to the streets—or even taking over the government—once the assumed corruption is revealed and the people learn that their sacred election was stolen from them.
