Call me cynical but I think Google and Facebook stopping all political donations is more about possible anti-trust action against them than storming the Capitol, otherwise why stop donations to the Democrats too?

Hmm, the exact time of day is different when I go to the page. Perhaps it's a bug?

Clearly a typo, since that is the current date and time as of a few minutes ago, GMT. An intern accidently put a timestamp widget in where it doesn't belong. The error has been noticed since that page is now down.

Also, it's been a while, and the news-o-sphere has yet to implode.

I'm trying to find something in the news about it but I can't.

Wonder if it's a glitch or if Trump's presidency is really coming to an end shortly before 8 PM tonight. Probably a glitch. I'm not getting my hopes up.

I’m assuming it was just an intern fucking up, since Pence’s page says the exact same thing, and there’s no reason his term would end now

I interpreted it as being GMT, meaning it's just slightly in the past.

If I were to guess (and this should be treated as a guess) it would be that as partisan tensions rise holding any donations to a political party becomes a liability to one part of the public or the other and the safest thing to do is take their hands off and back away slowly hoping to survive the bonfires.

Google sez its 20:20 GMT as of this post:

If the time stamp in the image is also GMT (which likely since it's State, or just a *nix webserver), the time indicated is just a bit ago.
