Excellent news ...

 

The Washington Post - House Jan. 6 committee votes to hold Bannon in contempt

 

breaking

 


Lawmakers on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol unanimously voted in support of holding Stephen K. Bannon in contempt on Tuesday. 

 

The seven Democrats and two Republicans tasked with investigating the insurrection all supported the resolution recommending that the House find the former adviser to Donald Trump in criminal contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by the committee.

 

The vote could be taken up by the full House as early as this week. The matter would then be referred to the Justice Department. 

 

Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor criminal offense that can result in up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. ...

FLORENCE, COLORADO (The Borowitz Report)—Following the news that Steve Bannon could soon be jailed for criminal contempt, the convicted drug lord Joaquín (El Chapo) Guzmán said that “under no circumstances” would he agree to share a prison cell with the former Trump adviser.

 

“If the Department of Justice is looking for a place to lock Bannon up, don’t even think about putting him in with me,” said El Chapo, who is being held at ADX Florence, a maximum-security penitentiary. "It's cruel and unusual punishment!", he said, visibly shaken. 

 

El Chapo’s sentiments have been echoed by the nation’s prison population, two million of whom have signed a petition refusing to share their cells with Bannon.

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland, when asked to comment on El Chapo’s statement, said "I don't know how he got wind of this, but he's correct". 

 

He chuckled and added, "If he's bummed about Bannon, wait 'til he finds out that Trump's gonna join them."

Politico: Jon Stewart warns more risks to the political system than Trump

Comedian Jon Stewart says political commentators are “making a mistake” focusing on former President Donald Trump’s individual contributions to eroding democracy, arguing instead that America’s institutions are vulnerable to “the idea that power is its own reward.”

“I don’t know if autocracy is purely the domain of Donald Trump,” the former "Daily Show" host said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Unfortunately, the messiness of democracy is often maybe one of its greatest weak points. People generally want prosperity and security."

TechCrunch had this comment about "the Truth":

"marketing materials for TRUTH’s iOS app show a screenshot with a list of posts from publications including The New York Times, Variety, Fox News and TechCrunch.

The headline displayed next to our logo has never appeared on this site and TechCrunch does not have an account on TRUTH."

Trump's latest business running as well as you'd expect from a "very stable genius" who want only the "best and brightest."

Washington Post: Pranksters have already defaced Trump’s new social network

Truth Social has some unusual rules for a Trump-run site: It reserves the right to ban users and safeguard itself from lawsuits with Section 230 protections. It also prohibits ‘excessive use of capital letters.’

Former president Donald Trump and his team declared Wednesday night that they would soon launch a “media powerhouse” that would help them triumph in their long-running war against Big Tech. But within hours, pranksters found what appeared to be an unreleased test version and posted a picture of a defecating pig to the “donaldjtrump” account.



Banned by all major social networks after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Trump has for months agitated to regain the online megaphone that once blasted his voice around the world. In a presentation released Wednesday by his new media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, his team hailed the new social network as the first tentpole for a Trump-led media, news and Internet empire that would one day compete with Disney, CNN and Facebook.

But the site’s early hours revealed lax security, rehashed features and a flurry of bizarre design decisions. An open sign-up page allowed anyone to use the site shortly after it was revealed, sparking the creation of the “donaldjtrump” account and the pig posting. A Washington Post reporter was able to register and post under the account name “mikepence” without any stops in place. New sign-ups were blocked shortly after.

The could also have chosen a snappier name, something like Bebo or MySpace...

 

 

 

Just waiting for the Trump "Bitcon" to be announced.
