The success to the rioters who invaded the Capitol Building was the lack of planning and implementation of such particularly by the Capitol Police. There are now hearings going on and evidence is being led that there was powerful interference on the having the National Guard participate in control. There is now also evidence coming that persons who were in the Capitol when it was being invaded were talking on phones to some of the disrupters. I would humbly suggest that although I totally disagree with their actions and motives, the organisers of those criminal activities are not stupid, and do have intelligence from knowledgeable insiders that the security was going if the attacks happened to be much more prepared, and the battle much more even and defence of the Capitol much more focussed. As a reliable eye witness to your comment, I would suggest again respectfully that the threat was mysticlsm is totally wrong and absurd, but was in fact a genuine threat, but considered by the perpetrators to be more a danger of a loss than another public relations victory. I would suggest that even now a new situation is being discussed and that the motives for disruption are still present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 A man described as a Trump appointee has been charged regarding his conduct in the Capitol Building, he worked in one of the Cabinet offices. Some other prominent persons are apparently being looked at because of their participation in the events. It provides some satisfaction but deep down it really just raises fear about the state of the United States if this type of person and others were party at the urging of the sitting President to participate in such. I used to wonder why my elderly parents got so upset about things happening in my generation. I now understand it is because you are concerned the affect it will have on your own grandchildren that they will be denied the lifestyle you had. But the fact is no generation had complete peace and joy, man always finds a way to screw it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Z Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 In 2016 when I voted for Kyrsten Sinema for the Senate in Arizona, she was widely regarded as the most progressive senatorial option outside Bernie Sanders. She was also openly nonreligious which as has been discussed in this thread, is a rarity in US politics. 2014. So even worse than her cutesy curtsey, she lied for years to get into power. Not unlike in the case of Barack Obama, progressives got sold up the river electing her to office. I hope she gets primaried for 2022.

Sharpie Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 So an old man stumbles on thick carpet on steep stairs leading to an aircraft, and this is the news. Who didn't expect an old man type things when a seventy eight year old man was elected. I am more concerned about his threatening comments to China, and his taunts at Putin, his frequent references to Harris as President Harris, allowing for his fighting to avoid any obvious speech impediments he has takes away his train of thought about which he is talking. My feeling after Trump is that anyone would have been better than him, Biden is a more palatable a man, but as a President he does nothing to relieve any concerns I have about world peace, immigration crises, defunding police, and a general atmosphere that provides confidence in an interested party who watches with hope for a new leadership, not different leadership but capable leadership.

I am probably the last person to have to imagine my response to anything Trump would ,could or has done I assess him as a despicable character, a liar, a coward and a serial adulterer, on the other hand I see Biden as a sincere individual who as myself is assessed with actions as being caused by age. I don't think he is in the present or will be in history adjudged as the best or even a good President, but he will not be vilified as I foresee Trump being in the distant future. My problems with Biden are his policies, and have to concede that he has been voted President, the only time I was a President of anything was a in danger of collapse a local minor football league. So I again concede to his abilities to do, and mine strictly to criticise what he does that does not conform to my wishes. As for Trump my sole ambition with he, is to see him in handcuffs as the result of a sentence imposed after the many investigations are concluded.

My response where I mentioned Trumps failings as I see them was not to the actual incidence of both men having difficulty perambulating on stairs or ramps., but to the question posed in a second post by another member who asked we should imagine what would have been said if it was Trump. I was attempting to point out that despite my and others opinion that Biden is not the greatest President ever elected, he seems quite a different character to Trump who I admit is very low in my esteem. I felt it was fair and proper to illustrate my reasons for being critical of Trump and felt with the sense of the question it was fair. I was not if I recall critical of Trump treading slowly and carefully down the ramp at West Point, I do say it was a bit ironic when one looks at an elderly man who spends so much attention to dyed, comb overs and phoney tans to look young, but finds that senior years are not all about appearance but include many deficiencies in handling every day occurrences.

You know, in this big universe of imperfect political systems, I don't mind things like the Senate in a “broad ideas” sense. If the UK had a similar setup for its other chamber instead of the House of Lords (which is an utter joke), meant to represent regions' differing interests instead of pure population, then Scotland, the North, and others might not have been trampled over constantly throughout history, thanks to the population edge in the South. What screwed up the US Senate was making it elective instead of appointive.

Trump put out a statement today that the Capitol Hill situation was all peaceful, police and persons hugging, and all friendly, yes that what I thought also Donald on fact hugged so tight that some died. It would be so nice to turn on the TV and hear how Biden is taking are of things, then you hear about the thousands invading the Border, words such as chaos and out of control used widely. He speaks and refers to his Vice President, as President Harris, he is reported to have said yesterday he will run again the next campaign.
