However... Total value of U.S. trade in goods (export and import) with China from 2012 to 2022 (in billion U.S. dollars) https://www.statista.com/statistics/277679/total-value-of-us-trade-in-goods-with-china-since-2006/

And he will call them "brownshirts"! ????

He was convicted for a single felony count of obstructing an official proceeding before Congress. There is nothing in the video diffused by Carlson which may exculpate him.

For once, Trump has been holding a consistent position over time. From the start in 2014. "Within weeks, Trump praised Putin for how he handled the takeover of Crimea and predicted that “the rest of Ukraine will fall … fairly quickly.” Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Trump said in a TV interview that the Crimean people “would rather be with Russia,” a position he also pushed in private. One of his 2016 campaign aides falsely claimed that “Russia did not seize Crimea.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/26/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.html

He was not charged with (and convicted for) engaging in violence so it's not surprising that there is no footage of him engaged in violence. So your question was irrelevant, unless your intent was to exculpate him from something he was not accused of. It's a fake injustice. "Jacob Chansley, a former actor and Navy sailor widely known as the QAnon Shaman, who stormed the Capitol in January in stars-and-stripes face paint and a horned fur hat, pleaded guilty on Friday to a single felony count of obstructing an official proceeding before Congress." ".....charged with civil disorder, obstruction, disorderly conduct in a restricted building and demonstrating in a Capitol building" https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/03/us/politics/qanon-shaman-capitol-guilty.html

That's irrelevant as It's not what he has been charged with.

1. It was not a trial 2. Trump and some of his aids refused to testify. 3. I don't see how a video of the 'Shaman' followed by officers may provide a defense to Trump. The Shaman is a completely neglectible element and has never been in the focus of the Jan.6 committee. Another storm in a teacup....

I know. I was joking.

You seem to be quite knowledgeable about these books! ????

When the hearings were diffused on TV, I remember that the main MAGA channel (Fox News) refused to diffuse it, and also that MAGA posters on this forum were often claiming that they will never watch such a biased (according to them) investigation. Surprisingly enough, it seems that MAGA and/or right-wing posters now know exactly what has been shown (or not shown) during the committee hearings. ????

So that we lose our time looking for sources. It's his m.o.

Well, It's much better than you making assertions which are not backed by any source.

No. They told it before. From the linked NYPost article in my post, the event was described in the DOJ timeline: "The DOJ timeline confirmed that Robishaw followed Chansley into the chamber as the “Shaman” took the seat on the dais recently occupied by Vice President Mike Pence" As to the comments by the officer, they have been aired already in 2021 (quote from the same article): "In a statement Monday, the Capitol Police pointed The Post to comments by Robishaw in the 2021 HBO documentary “Four Hours at the Capitol.”

This more peaceful part doesn't exculp him from what he has been charged of. Additionally, it seems that Carlson omitted to mention the reason why the officers were so "peacefull" “The officer is then seen on video walking behind Chansley as Chansley walks into the Senate Chamber,” Capitol Police said. “Moments earlier our officers and agents had to evacuate the Senate Chamber, which was closed to the public, to rush elected officials and staffers to safety. After that, multiple people snuck into the Chamber. At any given time, the officer is outnumbered by more than 20 or more people. At this point, it is clear the officer is trying to get everyone out of the Chamber.” Capitol cops say they couldn’t get physical with rioters as new ‘QAnon Shaman’ video reveals hands-off approach https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/capitol-cops-say-they-couldnt-get-physical-with-rioters-as-new-qanon-shaman-video-reveals-hands-off-approach/

Poll with one respondent?

He was convicted by a court, not by The Jan.6 committee. Carlson has his "pants on fire"! ???? "However, Chansley’s signed plea agreement, an officer’s firsthand account of the events, and an internal memo from Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger all contradict Carlson’s claim that Capitol Police acted as Chansley’s Capitol "tour guides" Jan. 6." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/mar/08/tucker-carlson/evidence-rebuts-tucker-carlsons-claim-about-capito/

A few years ago, I asked my friends in Romania what they thought about Russian people, and that was their reply (quoting more or less): "We like them individually, we like like to drink vodka with them, etc... but as a collectivity, we don't like them". That sums it up. Individually, they are friendly, but as a people they have always been imperialistic. Add to it an authoritarian regime, controlled media and lots of propaganda to maintain this state of mind. Add also to it that the government is corrupt and incompetent, has not been able to develop this country despite its very good natural and human resources, has not even been able to prevent its population from significantly decreasing, etc... so they need to play the nationalist card in order to distract attention from their incompetence.

And the NYT did retract it. https://thepostmillennial.com/nyt-issues-correction-of-story-claiming-capitol-police-officer-bludgeoned-to-death-with-fire-extinguisher BTW, you just contradicted your previous claim that it was a peaceful visit! ???? Nice video! Video shows Capitol rioter hit officer with fire extinguisher https://nypost.com/2021/01/11/video-shows-capitol-rioter-hit-officer-with-fire-extinguisher/

Making one's own mind by watching only what Carlson selected! Yeah, sure! ????

Running out of money, and maybe also out of people... Russia’s population nightmare is going to get even worse A demographic tragedy is unfolding in Russia. Over the past three years the country has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 fell by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti. The number of Russians born in April 2022 was no higher than it had been in the months of Hitler’s occupation. And because so many men of fighting age are dead or in exile, women outnumber men by at least 10m. https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/03/04/russias-population-nightmare-is-going-to-get-even-worse

GOP: the party claiming to be pro-free speech and which actually acts against it....

Well, to start with, I am not convinced they speak out that much (well, at least in the U.S. it seems It's rather the anti-LGBT group speaking out). When they do, I guess It's because they are expressing their (relatively) new freedom and equal rights, sometimes mixed with provocation directed at those who are prejudiced against them). We had the same phenomenon in the past with other types of groups, for example the women (women's lib, etc...), or black people (I'm black, I'm proud).

You haven't explained why you disagree with people "shouting" they are different (I don't see many people shouting, but never mind). Which problem does it generate. Are people harassed by other people shouting their difference at every street's corner?

How is it a problem?
