True, and I fear more violence on the horizon as Trump's violent rhetoric ramps up at his campaign rallies.
In a phone call, Trump tried to pressure officials in Georgia into making tens thousands of votes disappear to try and steal the 2020 election. They found no illegal votes, refused to overturn the results and began receiving death threats from Trump's supporters.^[1]
After Trump had exhausted all legal forms of overturning the election; From having over 60 frivolous lawsuits thrown out from all levels of courts including the conservative leaning Supreme Court (Trump picked 3 justices out of 9), after his Attorney General Barr resigned (an individual that covered/stalled investigations for Trump), Trump turned to his stalwart supporter in Vice-President Pence. A lie was pushed that Mike Pence could refuse to certify the election results as he presided over the counting of the ballots of the electoral college during the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. Pence refused this illegal power grab. Having no further recourse Trump and his minions incited an insurrection during a rally Trump held at the same time the E.C. ballots were being certified. Trump's supporters erected a gallows, stormed the capital where several people subsequently lost their lives including police officers. Politicians were incredibly lucky they escaped. For example Capitol Police Officer Goodman's quick and heroic decision to lead an angry mob away from where congressionable members were hiding probably saved many lives. This mob was chanting hang Mike Pence, many of whom wore tactical gear, carried zip ties used, and used flagpoles, fire extinguishers, and chemical sprays as weapons while attacking those that protected Congress.^[2]
It's been a long 7 years of FA. We're finally getting to the FO stage. Couldn't have happened to a better former 1 term president.
Trump pushed the big lie that the election was stolen. Trump lost in the courts^[1] including the Supreme Court.^[2] Then he tried to pressure state officials.^[3] He tried to pressure Pence.^[4]
So what does he do after exhausting all nonviolent methods of overturning the election? He turns to his supporters and lights them up making inflammatory statements such as;
-
We are going to fight for the survival of the nation.
-
Now is not the time to retreat, its to fight harder.
-
We will never give in, never back down, never surrender.
-
We will fight like hell.
-
You have to get your people to fight.
He primed them for weeks.
State officials had started getting death threats weeks before the attempted insurrection following the general election.^[5] Trump saw first hand what violence was being created as his supporters rioted and vandalized black churches in Washington back in December.^[6]
Trump didn't stop his incitement after the initial violence, he got more specific. He told his supporters how, when, and where. He gave them 18 days notice inviting them to the rally telling them to be there, that it will be wild.^[7] And on the day of the insurrection Trump told his supporters to march on the Capitol and fight like hell.
Following the riot Trump continued to promote the big lie that had incited the insurrection. After the mob was dispersed, Trump praised and sympathized with the mob in a video he released, claiming once again that the election had been stolen.^[8] Then he praised the insurrection in a tweet after the mob had been dispersed. He told his mob to remember Jan. 6 forever. He said that he loved the insurrectionists and that the violent mob were special people.

Ngl this made me laugh pretty hard lol
I think NCD provides enough mobikcube memes to be self-sustainable. Which is another reason why RA demanding the sub no longer be NSFW is farcical lol
Maybe we'll see an influx of new users from r/NCD. Maybe we'll see some more activity here! I only lurk these parts (same on reddit) because it's fun to read shitposts every now and then.
It's pretty dumb for RA to go after NCD, I clicked on far too many NSFW posts without realizing what it was as they weren't labeled. The arguments NCD mods present with sources are true. I feel like it's reddit just trying to stem the loss of money. Their IPO valuation has lost 41% of its value in a year^[1] and now their bottom line is being affected because users realized advertisements aren't shown on NSFW subs.^[2]
Onana is class playing out from the back. Inter negated City's press in the Champions League Final using Onana as the focal point, playing like an outfield cb with his passing distribution. He has also worked with EtH previously at Ajax
I think he's a good manager, but every manager fails at PSG because it's not run very well and the expectation is to win a Champions League.
Emery - sacked but went on to win European trophies
Ancelotti - sacked but went on to win European glory
