While I often desagree with you, I acknowledge you may have a point. Trump can play the "dumb" card. And he has a credible past record about it. Practically, we know it is B.S., but technically there is no absolute proof that he did not promote the Big Lie because he is a moron. That may work for him, or not.

If they don't all believe it, they should! "Violent far-right attacks and plots remained the most frequent type of domestic terrorism in 2021...... ....Most violent far-right perpetrators were motivated by white supremacist or anti-government sentiments, and they committed most of the fatal attacks in 2021. Of the 30 fatalities in 2021, 28 resulted from far-right terrorist attacks. White supremacists killed 13 people, a violent misogynist killed 8, anti-government extremists killed 4, and an anti-vaccination perpetrator killed 3" https://www.csis.org/analysis/pushed-extremes-domestic-terrorism-amid-polarization-and-protest

I would also suggest a psychological explanation. Big guns may be a substitute of.. ahem, you know what I mean....????

Sadly, the good old conservative British traditions are falling apart....???? "The Council of Europe set to work creating a human rights convention. Again, Churchill was an advocate; he proclaimed: “In the centre of our movement stands the idea of a Charter of Human Rights, guarded by freedom and sustained by law.” That ‘Charter of Human Rights’ of which Churchill spoke was named the European Convention on Human Rights." https://eachother.org.uk/wrote-european-convention-human-rights/

We know you don't care to provide evidence! Lol!

We know there are many immigrants illegally crossing the channel, and sadly it includes children. But where is your evidence that they have been "allowed" to do so. Suggesting, I guess, that the French authorities had knowingly let children making such a risky trip.

Where is it written that they were "allowed" to sail across the English channel in dinghies?

Source?

Right. Even a mummy would be better than Trump!

FYI "Even Russian-speaking Ukrainians don’t want to be evacuated to Russia or Belarus The research shows that Russian speakers across much of Ukraine identify as Ukrainian" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/07/ukraine-russian-speakers/

Well, it seems there is at least one topic on which they are united!????

Hmmm. Not sure at all about not breaking international law (see Bluespunk's post). The U.K. government can make any decisions It wants. However, there will likely be consequences. And then it will start again, I.e. It's not UK's fault, the EU is not nice to us, etc...

As usual you are distorting reality. The EC does not hold all powers. It has been explained to you many times but it doesn't fit the Brexiters narrative. Anyway, you now have an "independent" government, mainly composed of Brexiters. So why don't you stop pointing fingers at others, and focus instead on the political accountability you allegedly voted for.

The EC represents the EU's interest (in particular the application of treaties signed by governments) The Council represents the countries (elected governments) The EP represents individual citizen. It seems to be a good balance to me.

Try to ingest an excessive amount of cannabis and then relate your experience to us! ????

There is no such restrictive definition of an insurrection. The courts and the Jan. 16 committee don't accuse them of overtaking the government, no one in this thread claimed that they were going to overtake the government. You are just posting a lame argument over and over.

So to be clear, nobody claimed they "were going to take over the United States Government".

I guess you mean "do not" govern. He's been told at least 100 times but he cannot acknowledge it as it nullifies one of the main Brexiters argument.

What are talking about? Council: composed of elected country governments Commission: selected by council members Parliament: elected

There was a big difference between these two cases. Bush was not particularly supportive of the terrorist organisation. It was only due to his incompetence. There could not be any suspicion that he did it on purpose. That's quite different from Trump who was supportive of the protesters. Actually, he called them to protest (even if he did not literally tell them to storm the Capitol). There is a credible suspicion that he failed to act on purpose. Well, I guess we'll know more about it after the next hearings.

Which Congress members had the power to order security? I could not find any reliable source about it?

Nowonder he never wanted to disclose his tax returns. That would have shown what a fail he is (among other reasons ????)

That would be a case of failure to act. It is the duty of a president to protect the U.S. Constitution and its institutions. On top of it, if it comes up to be the outcome, not only of negligence, but also of common interest with and sympathy for the rioters, it would be an aggravating circumstance.

Well unlike you, "bone spurred" Trump wasn't in Vietnam! ????

You conveniently forget to mention that Russia and its Donbass puppets did not respect the Minsk II agreement. It's a bit complicated to disentangle all the events with occurred. Ukraine may be also at fault, but it is certain that Russia did not respect the agreement.
