Oooops! I confused two threads! ???? Anyway, it was not what I was discussing with Nauseus.

Wow! Two conspiracy theories in only 20 minutes time! ????

Go home with love and peace! 3 hours late. Lol!

While at the same time inflaming them.... Anyway, you are deflecting this was not what I was discussing, which were security issues, such as calling the National Guard Trump did nothing during 3 hours while he was watching the mob assault the Capitol (which is exactly the topic of this thread.)

The security at the Capitol has been poorly planned.. However, it doesn't exempt anyone for the assault, just like the fact that a bank may not be well guarded doesn't excuse gangsters of robbing it. According to several converging testimonies under oath, there is no doubt that Trump did nothing during the protest, they can be easily found.. Before January 6, he only apparent contradiction is between Milley's statement on Fox News and his testimony under oath (but a testimony under oath is more relable).

At this time, it had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation: - provided by Giuliani, already involved before with Russian disinformation operation about Ukraine, - only a computer image, not with logs information, - not checked by independent experts, - only provided to one minor right-wing media, no copy was provided to other media to check by themselves. Trump and his aides have been so immersed in fake news and disinformation campaigns that nobody trusted them for telling the truth! That's what happens to serial liars, sometimes they tell the truth, and nobody believes them!

The MAGA folks scandalized about a POTUS possibly lying! ????

Ask Mike Pence! ????

Oooops! You are right. Well they don't seem to anticipate a recession either.

It was an obvious case of national emergency so he could have called the national guard which the VP did.. So it's the VP's duty but not the President's duty?

This is not true but let's assume you are right and that businessmen are more reliable than economists. What are businessmen doing? They are onsistently recruiting new employees. Businessmen don't create jobs when they expect a recession.

Frankly, you are not serious. It wasn't the average civil disorder, it was an assault on fundamental federal institutions established by the U.S. Constitution. Obviously a matter of national concern for a POTUS.

Better believe MAGA posters on ASEANNOW.....????

For the time being, economists are still forecasting positive growth for 2022.

A lot of them have been charged, and a significant number already convicted according to "USA law".

I second that proposal! ????

To call it a recession or not at this stage is much like splitting hairs. What matters is how it will evolve during next semester. If growth starts again nobody will care whether the first semester could be called a technical recession or not. If it's negative there will be no doubt about the U.S. experiencing a recession. Obviously, economists are observing mixed signals and are considering that a further recession trend is not certain.

Faux news! Lol! You can check Biden's speech, he never talked about China. This was all made up by Trump. The rieason Biden and Pelosi called Trump xenophobic was about the so-called "Muslim ban" announced a few days before, just like they did for the previous Muslim bans, I.e. Pelosi speech on 27 January 2020 https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/12720

It's a lie. He wasn't accused of being racist for (partially) stopping flights from China!

Well, I guess one doesn't care about being assimilated when dead....

2 major parties. One sore loser lost elections by a landslide. The other won and painfully tries to fix the mess left by the sore (+liar, cheat and traitor) loser.

Why did they stop (not suddenly as you claim, it was during the Covid 19 pandemic) job searching?

Not legal? The national guard has been deployed at the Capitol during nearly 5 month! https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/05/23/national-guard-mission-to-provide-security-ending-at-capitol/

That's the essence of Brexitism: wanting to have it both ways. When it's not possible (which is always the case), blame the EU, the French (in particular Macron), or nazi Germany.

What a nice little crook.....
