Replying To Trump2020:  "Trump asked Nancy Pelosi for the National Guard which she refused. When Elon Musk bought Twitter one of the first things he did was release the TWITTER FILES which showed video after video of the police escorting people into the Capitol Building. All peacefully. The only fatality was an unarmed woman named Ashli Babbitt. Her family sued and won. Releasing the TWITTER FILES and UNcensoring Trump on Twitter was strike one and two against Elon by the Left but when he endorsed Trump that was the final straw. He became public enemy number one. Most Police Unions endorsed Trump BTW."
you are right about one thing - Ashli Babbitt. Her family did sue and did win. But you omitted to say they won when the Trump Justice Dept told the court they were no longer defending against the suit. No way would they have won in court.

She wasnt the only fatality BTW, within 36 hours, four others died: one died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer who died of a stroke a day after being assaulted at the Capitol.

I wish people like you would own your outrage. You believe despite all evidence to the contrary that the 2020 election was stolen. The logical conclusion of your belief is that people had to invade the Capitol and stop the election certification. But you have to lie to pretend that it was peaceful that people were invited in. Which is just complete and utter nonsense
And just as cowardly as DJT saying he had nothing to do with it and that all he did was ask people to come to protest.

And yes, a lot of police unions endorsed Trump just as a lot of police unions criticized his decision to pardon the J6 rioters.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "Just something that crossed my mind yesterday when seeing the coverage of the disturbances in the North.
What is the fascination with rape?

Now in this case, I believe there was a sexual assault which gave these racist louts all the tenuous justification they needed to kick off. But all you have to do is read any local newspaper's court pages, anywhere in the country, at any time of the year, and you'll find some sort of sexual assault by an indingenous Irish person being reported on.

There is a line constantly peddled that these immigrants are mostly rapists and paedophiles, which is complete and utter bull. "Grooming gangs" are roaming the streets of all Western Cities now, to the point where it's dangerous to leave your front door for fear of being raped it seems."
No riots when it comes to the high profile loyalist politician facing court over similar charges.

Whereas, throughout the history of our state since independence, women have been treated with nothing but care, dignity and compassion.

Replying To Trump2020:  "Fun Fact: the Bushs, Cheneys, and the rest of the Warfare State in the USA did NOT endorse Trump. I wonder why?"
Well Bush and Chenys business interest was oil not sure if they had anything to do with weapons. America is more self sufficient now with fraking so oil may not be a main war interest for those. Interesting to see how many Trump supporters on the boards of the big arms makers. 300 Hellfire missiles were casually sent to Israel the other day for their Iran project. That's a handy 45 million for Lockheed Martin.

Because he's a fascist wannabee dictator who wants to blow up the democracy in the US.

Certainly would be no great admirer of Democracy, Mr T. Loves strongmen and dictators. Favours the "military" sorting everything out. Loves big military parades. A rare one has been organised for Washington and by some crazy coincidence it just happens to fall on his birthday. Loved playing soldiers as a kid. Went to some cadet school but was unable to join the military due to some strange disability or other.

The far right and their fear of 'single males' is akin to the Me too movement and their paranoia about men- funny bed fellas.

Never thought being yellow was a disability.

Bone spurs on his heels, it seems. There is an Interesting article in the "failing" NYTimes which says that no less than 2 paediatric experts ( whose landlords was the bould Fred) signed him off. No medical records exist of these examinations. Two military panels had passed him fit. He took 4 available educational outs on enlisting before he ran out of road on that one. Then enter the bone spurs - no doubt they were bone spurs like no one had ever seen before. World record specimens, I'd expect they were.

Shooting of Democratic politicians in Minnesota. Obviously political but possibly a crackpot. Is this the start of something bigger, or an isolated incident. Hopefully the latter. It will be interesting to see who Mr T tries to hang this one on.

I'm sure you were just as concerned when at least 2 attempts were made on Trumps life. Plus this from Wikipedia below surely concerned you.

On June 14, 2017, during practice for that year's Congressional Baseball Game, Scalise was shot and seriously wounded by an anti-Trump domestic terrorist who was targeting Republicans. He underwent treatment for several months, returning to Congress on September 28.

In his own words most beautiful and big bone spurs
