Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 1)

Irrelevant and you know it. I am only talking about the ability to launch and you know it. I am not talking about consequences or deterrence, that is irrelevant to what I wrote and have never been a point I have made. I am fully aware of all the deterrence that exists and so on.

Anyway, there is a game on.

Aparently 3 others have done it before. Not sure which 3, but I bet Nixon would be one, the others would have to go back a hell of a long time I suspect.

Good play by Biden just now imo…

‘What are your thoughts on impeachment?’

‘Not up to me. Congress will decide.’

Good, put it all on them, and the noises are all pointing to action, even if it is just symbolic.

He certainly knows the game, I just hope he plays the right one.

This is Biden’s best suit, isn’t it? Nice sheen to it.

I tell ya…fucking hell, it’s a bit weird hearing someone answer questions about US politics like an adult.

Probably not…but I am hearing some welcome noises re green initiatives and in his comments just now he actually took the time to spell out the fact that in the richest country in the world, people cannot afford to put food on the table or turn the light on.

Easy for him to say, I know, but I am hopeful, and fingers crossed the intellectual diarrhea that has been infecting the world for the last five years slows down somewhat…

Hope he does what he’s promised.

They all do.

One of the other fatalities was a woman from Georgia. Slipped on the stairs in the early rush and was trampled.

She was carrying a ‘Don’t tread on me’ flag.

So how many of the deaths were deliberate acts and not just sheer stupidity?

This is the taser guy

Well, the police officer died from being crushed (horrific video, caught in a door basically). The woman trying to break into the House chamber was a deliberate act. The other one not covered here appears also to have been a heart attack, also running up the steps.
