> [@kayaker](#): > > How can a lawyer make unsubstantiated allegations of child molestation in a public forum without the bar taking notice? Lin Wood is already being referred for sanctions and disbarment as per the Detroit lawsuit, and several of his tweets are included in the motion. I imagine a few more will only make the case stronger. ---

I’d like Trump to come back on Twitter after his suspension, shoot himself in the foot a few times more, giving more arguments for the 25th amendment or impeachment, and then get banned for good. ---

Wow, I bet his tiny fingers are itching! Although I don’t know if he posted much on FB or Instagram. I’m actually kind of wondering if someone finally gave him a come-to-Jesus talk or ultimatum to shut up. Maybe “we won’t 25th you or impeach + convict if you just hang it up now.” ---

It’ll be interesting in a train-wreck way to see what Trump’s next tweet will be, assuming he makes one. ---

Does anybody know the exact time when the 12 hour ban is lifted? I’m so looking forward to his first post-ban tweet. (that’ll get him banned again) ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > If only there there was some Salieri to dress up as his father and take him down a few pegs. It’s a great idea—totally derailed by the fact that men don’t wear hats anymore. So no profile-in-the-door could look like Fred. Donald couldn’t be fooled the way Wolfgang was. You’d need some major make-up and acting to get the look and the voice right. And after going to all that trouble, the odds are that Donald would look at “Fred,” intone ‘fake news,’ and turn back to the TV set. ---

His latest Tweet is this prepared speech, carefully and unenthusiastically read. He makes dubious claims and takes no responsibility. [Calls intensify to remove Trump from office even as he acknowledges ‘a new administration’ (msn.com)](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/calls-intensify-to-remove-trump-from-office-even-as-he-acknowledges-a-new-administration/ar-BB1czkQZ?ocid=msedgntp) “Reading off a script in a flat voice, Trump claimed he immediately deployed the National Guard to help secure the building and expel the intruders. Other officials have disputed that account. Trump also claimed his attempts to overturn the election results were simply his efforts to “ensure the integrity of the vote.”” ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > His latest Tweet is this prepared speech, carefully and unenthusiastically read. He makes dubious claims and takes no responsibility. He sounds like a hostage reading a required statement. Actually, that’s kind of exactly what he is, except the ransom is related to his social media access. Funny, isn’t it, how an active, unfolding threat to American stability doesn’t register with him and cause him to change his behavior — but you take away his twitter channel, and he straightens himself up right away. It’s also funny, in a dark sort of way, that if he had managed to control his worst impulses over the course of the pandemic, and managed to sound the way he sounds and say the things he says in this new video — sober, flat, acknowledging actual facts — if he’d been able to rein himself in and present himself like this over the course of the last year, _even occasionally,_ he would, almost certainly, have legitimately managed to win re-election.
