I ask again, where did I claim any of the above? Now I am the one asking for proof . You may be fighting your own image in mirror, I’m afraid.
You ask why there isn’t more pursuit of proof from “lefties”. If you mean Democrats, they are building their case by passing the Articles of Impeachment in the House. Their pursuit of truth will depend on whether or not they send the resolution to the Senate. Frankly, I hope the people who are asking the most questions are Republicans. Whether we are Americans, Republicans, doctors, teachers, or military personnel, we maintain our legitimacy when we police our own the most rigorously.
We still maintain the grand jury process here. While you all send people directly to court, the impeachment process here still works like a grand jury. The first phase of the impeachment process in the House was specifically built in to prevent what you suggest - a kangaroo court.
The second phase - the trial, is explicitly spelled out in the Constitution, which will place in the Senate. It is legal and democratic, specifically because it infuses the system with checks and balances to insure the rights of the accused, and to prevent frivolous claims. It is really important to understand that Impeachment in no way, shape, or form is a proclamation that high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed.
Wasn’t the guy who filmed the shooting of the lady by the police inside the building the head of a far left movement called “Insurrection USA” (or something like that,) ,?
Yes, the videographer is definitely an extremist and under investigation for his activity and presence in the Capitol on January 6th. Per a Rolling Stone interview:
" Sullivan’s profile is unique: The 26-year-old is a resident of Utah and a former competitive speed skater who participated in the 2018 Olympic trials. He is no fan of institutional politics — “I’ve never voted,” he admits, “because I don’t believe in the two-party system” — but he found purpose in the street protests that followed the killing of George Floyd, even founding an activist group called Insurgence USA that fights for racial justice. Sullivan’s activism has brought him legal trouble: [B]He faces riot and criminal mischief charges stemming from a BLM protest in Provo, Utah, last June.
[B]I’ve also seen video of the police moving the barriers and letting the “protesters” in which is also weird. It’s not normal behaviour for MAGA supporters to riot or resort to violence

That activity is being investigated by both Capitol Police and the FBI. Democrats are saying that some police officers may have been siding with the protestors and rioters. Beyond that, there is not a lot of information on those claims so far.
I don’t know about that OG, but I am very patient when it comes to these investigations. I am with the FBI director in saying that they are going to identify and thoroughly investigate every single person tied to the events that day.
I hope we then use that expertise and those resources to go back - with as much thoroughness - to investigate the crimes related to this summer’s riots and, insurrections as well.
Of course it is. Biden will be carted off to the funny farm allowing Harris to step into his shoes no doubt with Hilary Clinton in the background… Just imagine. The USA in the hands of communists.
Since I last posted, Sullivan has been arrested on federal charges of civil disorder, entering a restricted building and violent entry or disorderly conduct.
The FBI isn’t messing around. I couldn’t be happier about these arrests.
Looks to me what was a peaceful MAGA protest was infiltrated by the hard left posing as trump supporters. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was another stupid stunt by them.
There is no evidence of that so far. The only left-wing radical that has been positively identified and arrested in Sullivan.
Make no mistake, I, and every American I have talked to want EVERYONE arrested who has broken laws associated with riots in the last year. I couldn’t care less who they are or what their ideology is.
Many more arrests were announced this morning, including the criminal who repeatedly struck the police officer with the American flag. Unfortunately, he was only arrested with the minor charge of obstructing a police officer.
To be honest Galty, I think that both sides are as guilty as each other - this is not an exclusive Trump supporter issue.
Biden said he was going to unite the country, so far he has increased divisions and poured petrol on the fire by heckling the republicans - riots are as much to blame for the BLM and far left mob, the ones he supported in Detroit and Chicago and the ones who were rioting that Harris said was “a movement” as they destroyed public property and people were killed. During the 2020 election it was Obama telling democrats that if they speak with their neighbours and they are republicans then they need to “get in their face”… hardly the caring left…
Anyway, time will tell, I just hope that next week goes smoothly or it will be the beginning of civil war. What Biden needs to realise is that 10 million more people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016 and if he thinks impeaching him on BS charges and having Pelosi grandstanding and calling all the names under the sun is the “right thing to do” he is seriously misjudging the mood of the nation.
Interesting reading the last two day’s posts. I have friends in the US both pro and anti-Trump. I would not say the anti-Trump friends are in any way “left-wing”, they just think he’s a dick who has disgraced the US’s reputation around the world.
What happened at Capitol Hill was shocking because for many around the it’s like the equivalent of the Vatican being invaded. It’s the global sanctum of democracy. So although there were terrible demos in the Summer, this one event is far more shocking and therefore more likely to result in serious recriminations.
The impeachment is a drama that some seem to need. Riding the back of a shocking event. Ultimately many politicos want to punish Trump for dividing the country and for acting like a dick. Some want heads to roll for losing their own four years ago.
I like Biden because he’s a gent. I can’t see a tape of him talking of grabbing pussy circulating. He lost most of his family in a tragedy and then has rebuilt his life. That deserves some respect. Many around the world are relieved to have someone normal in charge.
I’ve never seen an incoming president celebrate with so much hate and spite.
As for your man Biden check out what he did to his staffers and blowing on young girls hair, and then there is the children he likes stroking his hairy legs
Good post, Annie . There are plenty of Republicans who supported Trump’s policies but have been concerned about his behavior and character from day one. I was done with him the night he mocked the reporter with cerebral palsy.
However, Biden is no saint, Annie. He has been accused of inappropriate sexual advances and making multiple inappropriate comments about and interactions with children. His present marriage to Jill was the result of an affair while she was still married.
Then there were the multiple incidents of plagiarism, one of which caused him to withdraw from an earlier presidential bid including appropriating the speech of British Labor party leader Neil Kinnock, another when he was in law school, a few others when in campaign speeches. He was also caught lying about his credentials in town hall meeting. Then there are concerns regarding his possible link to his son’s dealings with Russia and Ukraine.
President-elect Biden presents himself well, and he has been elected, so we have to respect him as the President, but he will have to be watched like a hawk.
He’s not my man bread he just isn’t a dick that’s all. The USA does not want a class A dick in charge. I mean there’s a certain level of dickdom Hollywood fake feelgood facade with any US election. The saccharine fawning and lab manufactured smiles always abound. They like their fireworks and tickertape parades. But there’s a level of dick that crosses the line into being a national embarrassment. Biden is not a dick that will embarrass the country. That’s all people want, normality.
Yes he has skeletons in his closet but he’s pretty stable and safe and maintains himself with dignity and restraint. I am hoping he will re-unite people with his calm and diplomacy.
I am not worried about him at all. It’s just Harris that bothers me. She smiles too much in a way that is a bit too predatory for my liking. I seem to recall from pro Trump friends that most objections were not to him being President but to her being Vice.
I am beating the drum for Presidents being presidential, Annie. It’s most definitely way up there on the list of qualifications.
Now we need to demand the same of our Representatives and Senators. During the impeachment debate, a Representative from Missouri called the President the “White Supremacist in Chief.” This kind of behavior has to stop.
