This is precisely the language of the morons who attacked Capitol Hill the other day. You can do better. I hope.

They were using vampire analogies? Crikey.

Why are you intent on making it personal? Sounds like you were calling me a moron. You understood the point i was making, i presume, then sought to try and belittle.

Have you tried reading the point before seeing who made it? Someone suggested that...

The stats are correct and can be checked (I took them almost word for word from yesterday's newspaper, a reputable broadsheet). Whilst I agree that the cause of the economic boom is debatable (and I do believe a decent proportion of it is thanks to the President's economic policy), to do so is to miss the point.

The point is why so he resonated with so many American's who felt forgotten? A certain proportion of that is because their lives demonstrably improved under him, certainly in an economic sense. Whether that was down to Donald Trump or not doesn't really matter.

In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary - "come again?" You have very seriously misunderstood something or have confused me with someone.

Not in the least. My intention was to say "be nicer to each other, even if you disagree".

And yes, you're right, I did (once) exactly what I said we shouldn't do. It was wrong, but I won't go back and delete what I wrote. If I insulted him, it's done. I won't hide my hand.

Why are the Lincoln Project giving trump a hard time about the inauguration? they literally named themselves after someone who didn't attend their successors inauguration - hypocrites!

The guy who broke into Nancy Pelosi's office has been arrested and charged with three federal counts. Apparently, he was also carrying a gun at the time.

"Richard Barnett, the man who allegedly broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, posed for pictures and stole mail from her desk, was arrested Friday morning in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has been charged with three federal counts.

He was charged with entering a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and stealing public property.

Alberts was one of the protesters who stormed the Capitol and was "slow in responding to orders to leave the premises," according to a complaint unsealed in US District Court in Washington, D.C. That is when the Capitol Police officer who wrote the indictment said he noticed Alberts had a handgun on his hip and was wearing a bulletproof vest and a backpack. Alberts tried to flee when officers noticed his weapon, but officers detained him quickly, according to the complaint."

Sen. Durbin says Captiol mob stole files and computers from lawmakers.

In the meantime Donald Trump can twitter no more . . . . . . .

BBC News - Twitter permanently suspends Trumps account

Ok I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: what did you mean?

What I said.

Pelosi & co. did not fail previously; they did successfully impeach Trump. And there's no doubt whatsoever that they could do it again now, this time with not insubstantial Republican support.

Having corrected that misconception, I don't disagree with anything else in your post.

But this would all be so unfair...official communication channels seem to be broken, how is he supposed to defend himself and rally support?

Im not sure he really did resonate with that many outside a small but loud fascistic fringe. It's just that post-Obama the Democrats lost their way and he capitalised.

He beat Hillary who was toxic to begin with, and then ran the worlds worst campaign where she campaigned in the wrong states and with a ludicrous woke message (vote for me to shatter the glass ceiling!). Despite this his own ratings stunk. Lots of people who voted for him didn't think he was qualified, just didn't want Hillary.

Biden wasn't exactly a strong candidate and would lose to an even vaguely decent Republican but kept it simple, ran an ok campaign where he basically just acted like a reasonable adult and kept his mouth shut and that was enough.

Trump Reminds me of Jeremy Corbyn, another Nutjob who attracted a small but extremely loud extremist following and who was made to look vaguely electable by a weak opponent (Theresa May) and then was pulverised when someone half decent faced him.

Biden is the luckiest person alive. He faced a nutter in the primaries, a nutter in the election, and now it looks all but certain he'll face a tribute act nutter if he makes it to 2024 in decent health and wants a second term. Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski would beat him very comfortably - but they'll run Ted Cruz or Donald Trump Jr or someone else barking mad.

He isn't going to have a second term, that is obvious, he will be too old. It will likely (and I do hope she has a good 4 years now) be Kamala, the first female president.

A lot is being made of Trump not attending the inauguration. But, does anyone know, did he get an invitation?

Ironically if the process worked the way the original framers intended none of this would have happened. Without the 12th Amendment Hillary would have been his VP, not Pence. And Trump would now be Vice President-elect.

Democrats and Obama's problems in my view started with the bank bailout of 2009 and the misunderstood healthcare reform with the ACA. This enabled the Tea Party movement which again made it possible for an anti-establishment campaign to run and win. Trump was the vessel, but it could as well have been Palin or Glenn Beck.

And yes, Hillary Clinton was an atrocious candidate.

Right place, right time I guess. Like all candidates need. What you see in Collins or Murkowski is beyond me.

Trump is probably beginning to experience withdrawal symptoms due to being banned by Twitter. He'll probably start his own reality television show on youtube, where he can collect "thumbs up." I'm not sure how long he can go without seeking attention and validation from his cult following.

The "symbolism" is obvious and written on their flag "Trump is my president"..

We do?

Shall we invite him over to our warm and fuzzy little community? He might never want to leave...

youtube has also announced they will ban people who incite violence etc.
