Possibly, but we put that theory to the test at our peril.
If there is no bloodshed in the next couple weeks, it will only be because law enforcement made tremendous efforts and took the threat extremely seriously.
I would be shocked frankly if there were not attempts of violence. The only...
Jay, people are in denial. For five years they have taken for granted what IS and failed to appreciate the possibilities of what COULD be.
That is why so many have defended, deflected, supported and provided air cover for Trump.
Remember when Michael Cohen testified to Congress after...
Actually what you foresee is not the “opposite” of what Sunstone foresees.
BOTH can happen at the same time.
Even as Trumpworld is defeated and marginalized, they become more extreme and desperate. Like part of a balloon being squeezed, it may pop ...
I am not afraid of the government being...
Yes, agreed.
The guardrails of our democracy buckled and failed this time. That is a security failure of Congress and Capitol Police and the DC Mayor.
But it is also Trump’s fault for constantly testing the guardrails for weakness and ramming them, not just this time but for five years...
Yes.
Unfortunately, regarding the election contest and who should be inaugurated on January 20, one side has lost its grip on reality.
At this point even Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Bill Barr, Mick Mulvaney and many other former Trump allies have admitted he’s basically a nutcase...
The problem is that the ordinary words we use to describe despicable acts usually imply a high degree of intelligence was behind them.
Words like “crime”, and “corruption”, and “coup”, or even “Russian plant”.
It’s hard to imagine Donald Trump being behind any of these things until you...
Are you referring to threads on RF being derailed outside of the North America Politics forum?
I must be allowed to discuss US politics in the North America Politics forum. I am from Texas. Do you really expect me to discuss politics with just anyone?? I need an outlet. ;)
What discrimination are we talking about, exactly?
I asked earlier in this thread and no one responded.
The OP is about the entertainment business. The entertainment business is a bit unique ... after all, there’s no business like show business, as they say.
Is anyone getting...
Thank you.
You sound confident in your own powers of distinguishing truth from fiction. Yet, the Pelosi smear video is the only thing I checked, which can be checked, at this point. And if I hadn’t checked it, you would remain blissfully unaware that it was BS.
I guess in fairness, you did...
Hi Suave. Respectfully: I can’t quite tell if you are a person of the far-left persuasion, or if you are a troll trying to make people on the Left look bad by promoting extreme views.
Sorry but I honestly am wondering. Are you sincere in this view? :)
I voted for Biden but I do not agree...
I don’t think anyone who is not in the entertainment industry is getting fired merely for peacefully attending the rally, are they?
All the reports I have seen have been centered on people who breached the Capitol building. The OP is an exception ... that’s showbiz for you. Remember when the...
I do not think someone should be fired simply for attending a political rally, even if that rally was to support an orange goblin like Trump.
On the other hand, as Revoltingest noted, part of your right to free speech is the right that the rest of us have to disagree with it. When people...
Yes and no. Some clearly had plans to storm the building - and do what after that, who knows. Part of the reason they didn’t know what they would do is simply because they didn’t know what Mike Pence would do. So it appears largely leaderless (not surprising since Trump is no brilliant planner)...
You are cherry picking what Trump said and leaving out the parts where he incited the mob.
Yes he played the reluctant part of someone who swore an oath to defend our Constitution and told the insurrectionists to “go home” HOURS after his own Vice President was in mortal danger and escorted...
