This isn't the Rubicon, this is one of the dozens of incidents of Roman politicians stirring up the mob to win a political fight in the decades leading up to the Rubicon moment.

caesar crossing the rubicon was like the 3rd time a field commander had done that in a 30 year period but also the guy that did it the first 2 times, Sulla, accomplished his mission of destroying the political power of the lower classes, whereas trump has not.

hes more like a catiline. but more of a dumbass

doesn't he have to delete the offending tweets before the 12 hour timer starts?

I'm... not sure, I thought the timer started when Twitter made its announcement yesterday and that it would remain locked until he did so

it's been twelve hours, where the hell are the President's tweets

there's almost certainly an unstated (to the public) "also apologize, condemn, and promote peace" bit that we're not seeing and he's not doing

i mean, yeah, lol, but its just some intern waiting for another intern to tell them pence is ready so making them wait more isn't exactly taxing. could even be a hilarious prank!

the right will delay until fox news can spin yesterday in a way that its actually the democrats/antifa/bidens fault and they do not have to take any action

hmmmmmmm

I think a lot of awful poo poo will happen but also the author of this piece talks about how the opposition party literally took over the capitol in Sri Lanka while this was a bunch of chud idiots. Granted, Hawley, Cruz, and Trump are delighted and egged it on, but that's not enough

But again, it was a metaphorical rubicon and poo poo will continue to get stupider and worse
