Whatever, sorry I engaged you on this.

You're always right because the rest of us are morons influenced by tabloid media (except the ones who agree with you). Even if we don't read it.

He does throw that line around a lot for someone who regurgitates Bolt, Panahi and co all day.

"Wokesters" lol.
 
Do people actually believe what their government tells them, or what they hear and/or see, in the media? Surely not. Skyhooks sung it best, with Horror Movie.

They don't give a ****, about us.

All the issues that they focus on, are just distractions.

If you aren't the lead wolf, the view never changes.
 
Yeah vengeance, but also he did try to to overturn the election because his ego wouldn’t let him admit he lost. He’ll probably get acquitted but I think they’ll be going after him for a long, long time. He’ll be tied up in court for years. He brought it on himself.

In one of the many millions of Inside The Trump White House types books, the first one by Bob Woodward, the greatest American journalist of his generation, he quotes an "intelligence community" source as saying how Trump will die in jail wearing an orange jumpsuit, they will make sure of it.

Generally take it all with a very large grain of salt.

Tightrope walk, from a political standpoint he had no real power apart from what he derived from the people.

if you were to punish him, you could alienate a large percentage of the population who voted for him.

they are still one nation, so with so little to gain and so much to lose, its best to leave it to the history books to write about.

What comes to mind is when Ford pardoned Nixon.

.

Buuuuuulllllllllshit.

The office of POTUS comes with enormous power.

He was just too dumb and corrupt to realise how to use it.

Silly ****er thought nickel and dime scams like getting the air force to stay at his hotels was how you did it.

The real smart ones parlay it into eight figures fortunes.

See Clinton, Bill.
 
I think you may have pegged Simpkinbythedockofthebay wrong, but you touch on something I've been stewing on for a while.

As someone with a lot of family and friends in eastern Europe and in Russia I'm so disappointed to see that they've become the liberal bogeyman, and in many cases some outright racist crap towards that part of the world gets said by people who would call themselves progressives.

Eastern Europeans and the Chinese seem to be the only people against whom it's okay to stereotype, to whip up hatred against, etc. when it comes to liberal discourse.

Two of my close friends are Russian and Chinese (Hong Kong), I call them the Axis of Evil when we get together and I say things like "If ASIO is listening, I do not know either of these two people", we have a laugh about it but they are crusty old farts like me and they got to grow up in an environment free of extreme political propaganda. I think it would be really rough for younger migrants.

No shit..
but the power of the prez office is gone now and he has hardly any political allies left. In terms of speaking engagements would struggle to get a dinner together at chaddy food court. I can’t see many willing to stick their neck out for him that is what I meant by no real power left. In fact the speed at which everyone abandoned him after the election shows how much influence he really peddled.

But if they go after him with the big stick, the risk of turning him into a martyr to his supporters would jump tenfold. There was 75 odd million people who voted for him and If that movement gets picked up by someone with an actual plan, the us is in trouble.

At the moment it’s perfect scenario, hold the charges over his head, he is isolated, so he shuts up and plays golf by himself. Sucks, but politically it’s the smart move.

let the history books do their work.

I don't think you understood my post.

Is it something I didn't comprehend or something you failed to articulate?

It could be me, my eyes tend to glaze over when people talk about Russians.

Yep, said for a while smartest thing Biden could have done is pardon him day one.
 
The GOP is very fractured at the state and federal levels. The neo-con style leadership isn’t cutting it like it used to. Besides Supreme Court justices, they achieved bugger all from a legislative standpoint under Trump. The multi-ethnic working class vote that moved towards Trump is up in the air as cocaine Mitch doesn’t give a rats ass about them.

Besides historic tax cuts, stacking the Supreme Court and packing lower courts.

Trump gave them the the culmination of three decades of planning

Your appear to be some sort of expert on this topic. Could you please enlighten us as to one's preferred technique for pegging old mate SLF?

At the same time, they might as well repeal the Emoluments clauses of the US constitution.

Oh, and introduce a rule that says whilst you're president, you get one free hit at treason / insurrection / whatever you want to label his role in inciting 6 Jan.

The risk of him being seen as a martyr is low - his supporters are already dangerous and it's a crap state of affairs if the decision is to let Trump off simply to avoid the potential reaction to him being subject to proceedings. He must be tried for his (alleged) crimes.
