Some people go away, but come back eventually. Some just disappear. Get fed up with arguing with hard heads, I guess. I hope it was nothing bad. @jmccr8 Could try doing a message. That goes to their home email. Edited December 29, 2023 by DieChecker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Wellington Posted January 1 #930 Share Posted January 1 People on the right assume that those on the left are simply biased or being led by their emotions. Its got nothing to do with bias or emotions, its about control. People with no power in their lives collectively trying to exert control on a right wing politician as if that will change their lives for them.

Its wholly about exerting power and control by those who have little power and control in their lives. Unfortunately, it won`t get them power and control in their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have a slant, even PBS. @razman BBC is a good source to go to. They're legally obliged to remain politically impartial. The "agenda" referred to by Desertrat is factual reporting because the makes Trump look bad (because, factually, he is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath in the form of CIA, FBI, social media platforms, mainstream media, Washington swamp state judiciaries and whatever else have attached a single man. Who among us could withstand even a small fraction of that assault. Goliath has created a hero for people who know that the government isn’t there for their benefit . This isn't David vs Goliath.

Yes, even though you are using another whataboutism, this time with @Desertrat56, I believe that is a fair point you are making. But both Biden and Trump obviously have MCI - Mild cognitive impairments. It would be nice if both would get the heck out of the way and retire. We need somebody completely new in the White House for the next four years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump didn't actually say that he was thinking anything about this, he shared another individual's public social media post (without any additional commentary). The shared post read "what if they were trying to limit his ability to activate the Insurrection Act". Considering at the same time he posted to the same social media platform that the J6 committee was destroying evidence, the argument sounds like it's is the equivalent of "the dog ate my homework" and while it makes great reading on social media (well, it makes reading on social media) it isn't going to cut it in a court of law. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like he's looking to improve his standing in the court of public opinion (in a court called Truth Social, so consider the user base of that platform) rather than laying out any kind of legal strategy, in my humble opinion.

When Donald Trump shares a post to social media without any further commentary, it's probably brain damage!

If I believed your whispering, I'd still think it was Trump talking and not reposting/re-sharing. And if I believed the mainstream media this is Trump's new legal strategy, cunningly shared to social media where opposition legal counsel couldn't possibly catch wind of it Edited January 2 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was urged by a militia group to invoke it in order to properly insurrect (Cecil Rhodes, for instance). It could be that Trump believes that the Insurrection Act is what one would use in order to carry out an insurrection. Well, as even his fervent supporters acknowledge, he's a complete idiot. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first hint that this wasn't what the headline made it out to be. You can find it from other sources, though i had to click on half a dozen different articles before i found one that quoted it: Quote On New Year’s Eve, Trump also reposted a message by O’Handley, who floated the evidence-free theory that Twitter banned Trump from the platform so as to thwart him from invoking the Insurrection Act that would have allowed him to use the U.S. military to clear the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. “What if they were trying to limit his ability to activate the Insurrection Act?” O’Handley mused. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-legal-news-brief-trump-floats-conspiracy-theories-as-a-defense-for-election-interference-charges-191014811.html Edited January 2 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
