Er..the GOP is not in power.

If the right questions are asked then the truth will come out but your prejudgments don't help that cause.

Why don't you give us a link to all this sensitive info?

Can’t have this, can’t have that, can’t have anyone who might ask questions we don't like. Hopeless.

No wonder McCarthy got the hump. Pelosi being so democratic. 555.

Really? Regarding Republican participation, I can't find any news or information to match what you say.

Finally. Thankyou. But congress members with the power to order security were not looking for pardons.

Judge Judy?

Read my comment again.

Not a dodge. If you mean the prime time Kangaroo Court Show then yes.

Perhaps just a slight memory lapse then. It was 18 months ago after all.

I know you'd loathe it but you should listen to the full speech sometime.

Find the timeline.

I don't know what he knew at that time but he should have tried to help stop the problem as soon as he did know. I've had to assume that his own security would have known by the end of the speech and whisked him of back to the WH for his own safety - he was still the President then. That said, the general security arrangements for that day seemed totally inadequate, especially if what Cheyney said is true and it was known in advance by FBI etc. this invasion of the Capitol was all pre-planned.

I read these stories years ago but business failures don't all mean being "taken to the cleaners". Some of the best in business take quite a few hits but also make at least as many successful recoveries, before consolidating their wealth. If Trump is such a dunce how come he's ended up with billions, great real estate assets and that stunning wife?

I get that you're distorting the fight like hell wording, quotation and context and invite you to listen to the speech again. When this phrase was used, Trump was near the end of his speech and the violent actors were already breeching the amazingly weak Capitol security.

No. I mean fighting like hell for things like your own life in an ICU, or anything else that you value dearly. Fighting like hell does not necessarily have to mean or infer law-breaking, or physical violence. It's quite a commonly accepted figure of speech. You may have heard of it.

If you can show me how this "fight like hell" reference was meant to be to taken in a violent and illegal way then fine.

Yeah. They let millions fly out for Chinese New Year holidays - after the virus was already identified in China - very generous of them. A real rat of a year.

Your links refer to individuals that have pleaded guilty to two different charges but neither of these is Trump. I think everyone knows that there was a radical minority making trouble on Jan 6th, some of it violent and much of it criminal. But is Trump himself guilty of sedition? As he was asking people to protest "patriotically and peacefully", then the answer is no.

It existed and still exists.

Lots of claims there in the first para but no proof re taken to the cleaners stuff.

Well done Bill, me too. End of January 1998 - averaged 89 over three days, best day was 90. Then again, in parts of the 80's, a pound only got you 29 Baht!

Fuel is up due to (1) US domestic production (down) policy, (2) consumption normalizing post Covid and now (3) the war in Europe. Oil was way up long before the US Fed put in this mammoth 0.5% rate rise! Rate rises are generally applied to fight inflation, which is at a 40 year high (and still rising),in the US but the Fed is way behind this sharp curve. It looks like an extended period stagflation will affect the US, with similar in Europe and maybe a bit less hitting much of the rest of the world.

- if GDP level in value is above pre-Covid level, It's not due to the fact that growth rates are obviously high after a crisis Why not? That is the main reason. It's called a recovery. - if the number of jobs is higher than pre-covid, It's not because the occupation rate is lower than pre-Covid The number is still shy of pre covid by about a million: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/03/economy/may-jobs-report-final/index.html#:~:text=US employers added 390%2C000 jobs in May%2C representing a robust,2020%2C before the pandemic hit. Inflation, attempts to raise rates to combat same, will cause a lot more harm than just denting growth and the origins of this happened way before the war started.
