  1. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/06/politics/kamala-harris-midterms-closing/index.html https://www.wsj.com/articles/kamala-harris-seeks-to-rally-voters-on-abortion-as-polls-show-interest-waning-11667480402 More if you really need to know what’s she up to. Goggle is your friend. By the way, former Presidents from the Dem Party like Bill, Hillary and Obama are chipping in to support their candidates. Don’t see any former GOP presidents on the campaign trail. Perhaps it’s the obnoxious Trump’s fallout.
  2. I think you need to hold on your exhilaration as regards to absolutist freedom of speech. Wait and see what his policies as he has announced a council would be set up full of diverse voices to decide on controversial moderation decisions and permanent suspension. As regards to his business acumen, I am not sure that his subscription route to profit is sound. More than half a million users including celebrities have moved to Mastodon.
  3. Don't be sidelined by peripheral stuffs like need to fly in for an important climate change conference. The attention should be focused on the 13 days of the Glasgow conference between nearly 200 countries and signing of the Glasgow Climate Pact and the completion of the Paris Agreement's Rulebook. They are other achievements and goals that were reached that include accelerating the phase-out of coal, curtailing deforestation, speeding up the switch to EV and encouraging investments in renewables. I am sure trying to prevent a climate catastrophe by securing global net zero by mid-century and maximum of 1.5 C degrees of warming are not important to you.
  4. You mean stand back and stand by.
  5. Many conservatives hope that the Republican Party would snap back to be a normal party of old after Trump. It didn’t happen and has become more radicalized. The Maga Republicans are displaying growing fanaticism and embracing blatant Trump’s election lies. The party is now center around nativism and white identity politics which is shared by many extremist groups. Republican Party is throughly infected with many who sympathize with the insurrection. Republican Party is not the old party but a party that is willing to support an authoritarian narcissistic law breaker who care more for himself than the rule of law, democracy and the country. Biden is right in calling voters not to vote for Maga Republican Party.
  6. Seem he has fallen deep into the world of far-right conspiracies, antisemitism and hate that could have pushed him to carry out the sinister attack. Even had thoughts that Trump may be Q. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-28/pelosi-attack-suspect-david-depape-shared-conspiracy-theories
  7. That was Trump favourite victimhood word. It was a House bipartisan recommendation for articles of impeachment. Trump should know as he was the subject of the impeachment.
  8. Leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were prosecuted under US18. USC 2384 - Seditious conspiracy. It’s a planned conspiracy to overthrow, put down or to destroy by force the government of the United States, or to level war against them or by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law.
  9. According to the Department of Justice, 725 people have been charged in connection with Jan 6; more than 225 have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers; 640 have been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted area; 275 also face charges of obstructing, impeding or influencing an official proceeding.
  10. What Bennie Thomas said was based on testimonies from Republicans witnesses. <deleted> voters can vent their frustration by voting in the next election and not by staging an insurrection. Too early to tell whether the Dem messaging is wrong. Threat to democracy resonated by more than half of registered voters.
  11. Trump will reveal his involvement when he testify under oath to the Jan 6 committee. Just appear and state the fact that he has no part in the insurrection. .
  12. Digressing much. It's ok if you have have no relevant response to my post.
  13. Blimey that's rather ignorant of you to not recognize the intention of the few thousand people summoned by Trump to seize and violently remove the government so that he can remain in power. That's how every coups succeed. Seized the government and delegitimize the legal process for usurper. He will then will have the command of all the military and law enforcement agencies.
  14. You know how ridiculous you sound. Few thousands of joint troops in an exercise was deemed provocative and firing of short range missiles that can carry nuclear explosive is dismissed and acceptable by you. You really lost the plot.
  15. They still carry conventional or nuclear explosive up to 1,000 km. So that kind of missiles are acceptable by you and non provocative.
  16. Those love letters were laughed off by Kim. Get real. You are dealing with a cold blooded dictator and not taking a tough stance will only make him bolder and reckless. https://www.voanews.com/a/east-asia-pacific_north-korea-fires-more-missiles-after-trump-receives-beautiful-letter/6173580.html
  17. North Korea will not stop to provoke South Korea. The previous South Korea President Moon who scaled back joint military exercises and public display of military strength to reduce tension have not worked. The current President Yoon is a conservative and will match North Korea tit-for-tat. The way to handle peace in the peninsula is through strength and certainly not by love letters.
  18. NK was firing misslles even before the joint military exercise. Just who is the provocateur.
  19. You are not wrong when you said left and right have committed political violence. However left wing terror have decreased dramtically in the 1980s while the frequency and lethality of the right-wing, separatists and anti abortion terror increased, a trend that has continue. Threats of political violence mostly by the right-wingers have increased tenfold in the last 5 years since Trump's election with 9,625 incidents documented in 2020. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/10/29/23428956/political-attacks-increasing-far-right-congress-pelosi
  20. Uncouth and undignified behavior and cringey to think he was a former President of a highly developed country.
  21. Maybe the perception is derieved from the fact that David DePape was a Maga conspiracy nut and you have been hyper active in deflecting for him and tacitly backed his conspiracy theories.
  22. Anyone can read a report and offer their own spin and at best it only offer circumstantial interpretation that may or may not be admissible. Yes, it doesnt matter who open the door. Direct evidence supports the assertion directly. So what are the direct evidence in this case. Read the charges.
  23. I bet my bottom dollar that you will have somethng to spin even after the actual CCTV, bodycam and the audio 911 call are released. Anyone disagree?
  24. I will give you credit for providing a reason albeit ambiquous agenda for supporting your party unlike a more direct reason that Democrats never got over the Civil War.
  25. Now that’s rich coming from you to cite procedural justice. You had much indignation of the due process resulting in the legal search of Marlago.
