(PS) I don& #39;t know what the heck is going on here, but I know that in 48 hours you have three extraordinary events happen: an unprecedented blocking of a foreign attack; an unprecedented attack on the platform doing the blocking; an unprecedented policy reversal by that platform.
(PS2) And in the midst of all this, you have the president *whose team conspired with the Kremlin in the initial attack* threatening to *gravely injure the platform that refused to host the attack* using the *full might of the U.S. government*.

This is terrifying stuff, people.
