U.S. Politics - Thread

[Rodzilla]

There's a pretty important distinction that needs to be drawn there, I think. Politicians didn't confect the outrage that led to those protests.,,,unless Derek Chauvin was a DNC plant. Protesters had a constitutional right to assemble in protest, and yeah, I'm sure some were doing the wrong thing, but I don't think the Cops who cleared the area really discriminated between law abiding protesters and those who were causing property damage. In any event, a public protest which was inspired by real events is very different from the forcible entry of an angry mob into a government building based on a president's paranoid delusions.

I get the whole sentiment of establishment mistrust and all, but Trump supporters have done some dangerous things in his name and things could get a lot worse. Nothing authoritarian about Biden giving a speech.... unless he follows it up with punitive measures aimed at Trump supporters who are not breaking any laws.

I don't really see much use in Biden's comments.....they will probably only reinforce the divide.... but I think the V for Vendetta comparisons are a bit over the top.

no i think the distinction is the previous protest were a bunch of gays/lesbians/vegans and they didn't have the required amount of cojones to achieve what they wanted, but if they could have gone in there and strung up trump then they would have been happy

biden talking about MAGA republicans being a threat to democracy is very stupid, if the maga republicans want to party like its 1899 with a crazy right wing platform including burning witches and have enough votes to gain power then that is still 100% democracy

i think the threat is something else entirely, the threat that the republicans would go after fauci and investigate the origins of covid if they got control of congress, fauci announced his retirement and the republicans said that wouldn't save him, so this is preparation for that event and a last minute rally to prevent it happening

Just when you thought she couldn't get any dumber...........................................

Majorie Taylor Green laughing that 'President' Justin Trudeau has bought 30 electric planes for Air Canada (a private company).

Forgets to mention United Airways has ordered 100.

Then compares electric planes to slave ships and air stewardess to slave masters whipping slaves to keep rowing boats.

Sky News heavily edited the speech down and cut out the parts where he said that he supports and works with most Republicans. They basically just showed him calling Trump supporters "extremists" then said that Biden is calling all Republicans extremists.

Either way you gotta agree to some extent even calling trump supporters extremists is divisive and in no way unifying.

Definitely. It was definitely a divisive thing. But Sky News turned it from,"Biden hates the die hard Trump supporters" to "Biden hates all Republicans"

What Biden said wasn't above reproach. He took an angry mob and called them all "terrorists". That's pretty divisive. But nowhere near as divisive as what Trump and Sky News did.

Credit where credit is due. This female literally put the lemon in his place. Let’s keep having these conversations cnn lmao.

Don Lemon is stunned into silence over royal's reparation response

CNN anchor Don Lemon is at a loss of words after a royal commentator told him reparations are necessary - but they should be demanded from the African chiefs who sold them into slavery.

Not really divisive if it is true.

Just a statement of fact.

but........But..........................BUT.....................................

I like to remind @Realist90 I am still around, every once in a while.

He just needs to see my name and he goes off.

Then I see his rant, take the piss out of him and then get bored of his wannabe Christian rants and ignore him.

I like to remind myself how I live rent free in his head after I have a crappy day.

Petty, but hey, if it works......it works.

NY state has raised a civil case against Trump. They claim they have plenty of evidence to confirm that he and his children lied about the worth of their properties. They are asking for $250m in damages and a ban from them operating businesses in NY.

If the case passes, the information gathered will then be passed on to the IRS and feds as it constitutes fraud and would likely result with Trump spending time in prison.

Trump said she's racist though and that's the only reason he's being charged

Just a civil case at the moment. You do understand these are serious allegations of fraud and sny evidence the AG might have is likely to be passed onto both the feds and IRS, right?
