We've gone over this before, the Dems were the ones that started it!

Hillary Clinton: Trump is an ‘illegitimate president’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...40f_story.html

I know in your mind you think the Jan 6 riots were some type of attempted coup when any fair minded assessment can see it was a protest that got out of hand thanks to the complete lack of security at the Capitol that day.

People seem to forget there were violent protests the day President Trump was inaugurated, the difference was the place was full of police that day. Do you seriously think these rioters wouldn't have stormed the capitol if they had been given an opportunity

I guess people just see what they want to see these days!

What part of agree to disagree didn't you understand?

Of course.

Blaming some on the right for their disagreement on the separation of church and state is blind on one eye in light of Biden's speech where he uses obviously religious terms like "sacred ground", "we’re all created equal" (requires a creator, which is obviously the Abrahamic God), and "God bless you all.". Though he excluded whom he calls MAGA Republicans, in a totally effective move to "heal and unite the country" as heralded by the far left dreamers.

It's a Christian society, that will manifest in all kinds of aspects. The difference is where and to what degree one thinks that's Ok. Biden took his oath of office by swearing on the bible, many a federal justice and congress member will do the same.

Your claim;
"the complete lack of security at the Capitol that day."

The reality:
"In total, more than 150 officers were injured in the attack: 86 Capitol Police officers reported injuries, the sources said, along with 65 members of the Metropolitan Police Department, Chief Robert Contee testified in January"

As you wrote, "I guess people just see what they want to see these days!"

everyone has a bias. just some people are more aware of it than others.

Because i don't want to spend 30 min to listen to Biden, if it was Obama (or an eloquent speaker from the Reps) I might invested the time.
So I was hoping for some unbiased media providing some key points. The transcript linked by konsomolez was even better.

Thanks for the picture provided, exactly what I was talking about.

For a normal speech I would agree, however when everyone has gotten their knickers in a twist I want to see what all the fuss is all about first hand. As delivery and visuals are also important I prefer to watch than read transcript.

Removal of meritocracy, a market driven economy and capitalism are no less of a threat. Communists slaughtered many millions in the last century, perhaps even more than a hundred million, and not one country succeeded with it. Not sure how many more bodies people need to accept that it doesn't work.

Yes, there can be no doubt that we'll feel the consequences of whatever happens.

Just like we suffer the brunt of the consequences of Biden's powerplay against Russia in the form of price increases even the biggest pessimist would have laughed at as recent as a few years ago. That's something I could easily do without. Have it meet an energy mix/supply that's already stretched to the limit and the result is what we see now, and will see in the near future.
You can probably read transcripts of all recent presidential speeches at WH website. And with higher accuracy, these are the official versions.

Ï agree, people have moved from "he is incapable of making a coherent speech" to "this I must watch".

Former Attorney General (for Trump) William Barr appeared on Fox News today, the article also links to a video of Barr's interview.

Some Barr quotes
You can read the full list of seized documents here.
The list includes 90 empty folders that had contained classified documents.

Donald Trump stands for meritocracy. And Joe Biden stands for communism. Is this your point?

Wait a min.....does that mean we're victims suffering the consequences of whatever happens?

I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my delusions of agency and embrace victimism

I didn't expect you to see reason that quickly.
Actually I'm somewhat suprised to see you call him a communist. But Ok, your call.
We're participants, some more willing than others.
But obviously it's the US calling the shots, not Europe.
It's Biden who declared Russia's decapacitation the aim in Ukraine, not Europe.
It's Europe that bears much stiffer energy price increases than the US. I'm not aware of significant heating or industrial production problems in the US because of the sanctions.

I think it's a given that to support Trump you have to be one of the following:

1. Highly ignorant and/or uneducated about Trumps motives, history and his political policies
2. A disenfranchised and/or delusional conspiracy theorist
3. A person of low moral fibre
4. A person with right-wing authoritarian tendencies who is fine seeing democracy eroded and civil rights turned back decades

I would highly doubt that there is a single exception to this on or off of the forum.

You forgot to include the social media influencing trolls working at some nefarious state sponsored organisations in St Petersburg whose mission in life is to make Russia great again by undermining western democratic values.

Objectively, you are also likely to be a white evangelical Protestant voter who attends religious services frequently.

More than eight-in-ten White evangelical Protestant voters who attend religious services frequently (85%) voted for Trump in the most recent election, as did 81% of those who attend less frequently.

Here

I take that as a yes. Hilarious.

don't forget all the people who simply don't agree with the open borders / soft on crime / identity politics approach and see trump as the lesser of two evils.

These may tick the "all of the above" box?

Don't you know that in the Royal Navy you have to choose the lesser of two weevils !!

And just like that President Biden gave the green light to attack his opponent's voters en masse. It started with Hillary Clinton and the "basket of deplorables" and now it's just been normalized by the sitting President.

To think people believe it's Donald Trump that is a threat to democracy
