    Well you can’t answer it because you don’t know. Some random post on Parler.

    The usual “rambling and raving”. I mean really, is this the sort of reference we use now on this site.

    My personal take is that for Democrats it's probably best if they wouldn't impeach and leave this problem festering and dividing the Republican Party. For the GOP impeachment and conviction would be a godsend.

    That's the political calculus.

    Predictable I suppose. If anything, McConnel is a smart politician with a clear ethical view that the end justifies the means.

    Yes, when discussing whether it's true that fascists plan coups on parler, what they post on parler is remarkably relevant. Especially when, you know, those coups actually happen, dismissing them as noise is dumb as hell. Thank god the FBI take it a little more seriously.

    The most beautiful thing is that nobody remembers that the cause of the riot in the Capitol in the first place was the biggest electoral fraud of all time, an obvious crime of high treason protected by the Senate and Big Tech. Everyone wants to give the impression that the cause of the violence was innocuous little words from Trump. Madness has become mandatory. Investigating electoral fraud was prohibited, reporting it was prohibited, and even speaking in any context was prohibited. That's what communist transparency is.

    There was no wide spread electoral fraud, and "high treason" isn't a thing under U.S. law. There's the crime of "treason", which is defined as "levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort" which electoral fraud doesn't satisfy.

    15 000 of the National Guard to be deployed for the inauguration in DC. To get a perspective on the number, when Obama had his first inauguration there were 4 000 National Guardsmen deployed. With Trump's inauguration in 2017 the number was 7 800. So roughly now twice the number.

    @Brett, FYI, I wanted to see for myself, due to rumors on the street and FBI warnings across most US states. The backend hosts apparently shut Parler down because of messages like those posted, lots of them. Make of it what you will. :shrug:
    Personally, I'd be somewhat reluctant to just remove/ban it all, but that may just be me; other platforms do have means to force-tag posts, make it a bit slower to get to offensive posts, etc.

    As far as I can tell (I know some of those guys), there's a McCarthyist type fear-dread of their faith/culture going away, which easily turns to hate. Things like "commies" "socialism" "taxes" "Marxists" "leftard" "big government" "globalism" are special loaded/pejorative/trigger words here. So, anyway, this contributes to far-right moves for (some) Christians. Not that there are that many communists in the US as far as I know (Sanders certainly isn't one) — unless you ask those guys. Trump has become / is their guy (to an extent).

    Rampant and unbridled voter fraud everywhere. Didn’t Joe Biden himself accidentally say they put together the greatest voter fraud in history during pre-election?

    So basically "Trump said so." Investigating false allegations of voter fraud does not demonstrate voter fraud, especially when those investigations found that there had been no voter fraud.

    Great post. there's no way he can respond to that.

    I clicked the one you claimed was from the Washington Post, which wasn't.

    Theft of voter data is a breach of privacy, if it happened, but is no proof of voter fraud.

    Court cases need to be won before they count.

    Affidavits are generally worthless as are anonymous claims.

    So basically you have nothing.

    Meanwhile, your conspiracy theory requires most media outlets, judges, politicians, election officials, etc. to be in on it.

    So, basically you're peddling lies.

    I looked at and read the first four references above. Four of four all bulls**t and no substance or even relevance. I accuse Rafaella of either not reading his references himself, or having read them but being unable to understand them, or just being a troll, which in the present environment is vicious. I call you out. Produce substance or retreat, retract, and go away.

    The President just got busted inciting peace and calm.

    In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You.

    18% of Americans named Trump, 15% named Obama, 6% Biden and 3% Fauci.

    I think it’s likely that most of the 18% who named Obama or Fauci voted for Biden in the election, not Trump.
