Not at all.
The whole thing is a complete mess isn't it.
I just think that more could and should have been done to protect people and property.
To think they could storm the Capitol building is quite something and it could have been prevented.
I do also call out the rioters by the way!

So, you think Trump has consistently done what he thinks is best? In my judgement, the only thing that has ever concerned him is what he thinks is best for himself. He has completely misjudged the events of last week and shown himself for what he really is - completely unsuited to the role of President or indeed any role that requires steady judgement and working in the interests of the population at large rather than his own selfish interests.

I reckon the next 10 days will be interesting to put it mildly. I somehow don't think he will leave quietly without creating some further mayhem.

I'm not sure it would be something we should be laughing about! It's very unlikely with empty coffers that the US will be rushing to war within the next couple of years. Nor is the democratic party particularly some kind of war inclined party anyway.

You do speak a lot of sense of covid though, in a very responsible way so I'll leave it at that .

yes, cryrst has impressed me with his covid stance to, lets himself down on other nonsense but argues well on covid-even against his allies!

The more and more I think about this latest turn of events, the more I think it stinks.

Lets go with a UK comparison. The Queens annual opening of Parliament. An event that has a dedicated security detail for the entire year. Effectively a lock-down on the area around the Palace of Westminister and all kinds of measures put into place.

Now I cannot imagine the security detail of the Senate not being used to demonstrations. And with all the hype around the recent election, the events of that particular day even more on the radar, so would hazard a guess that you would rate that day with a very high threat level. Makes sense right?

And yet those protesters get that close? And up against the kind of security that would be lax at most Premier and Championship football matches in this country? With the US police meant to be far more gung-ho than our own 'Bobbies'?

This really does not add up. Not in the slightest.

So imagine if a load of blm supporters stormed parliament on that day, killing a police officer, leaving a couple of pipe bombs,sitting on the crown, would you say they were just demonstrating ? Or would you say chuck the book at them?Long prison sentances or tried for treason?

On rare occasions the military is required.
