Gonna be so many nervous people if it's simply entering the building, though I doubt they could do that given the numerous vids of quasi-helpful police. Even if the police were simply acting that way as they were overmanned and prioritized crowd safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is anyone meant to respect what you say when you use that language with other folks? The question was framed in a manner that was not in any way relevant to reality, and I know that you know that. That is silly, and you wrote it, so in that moment you were silly. It does not mean that you are silly. Relax, we are all stupid from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recognised MSM journalists will not be prosecuted. Legitimate interest to report the events. Pseudo RW citizen journalists should be though. I think most people can rationally draw the lines between the two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age, the citizen can wake up in the morning and have a media organization registered and up and running (website/home studio) by the afternoon. Or do journalists have to be registered now? and only those approved by the government matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine anyone working for the media would need accreditation when entering the Capitol Hill or such buildings while they are in session. Having a Youtube channel or a fanzine likely won't cut it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been tried so isn't 100% guaranteed, resigning and being pardoned by the incoming Pres has precident from Nixon / Ford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously a system designed to ensure that only left wing elites can get into the press. They have to sit an exam with questions only extreme left wingers will be able to interpret because of the unique way their brains function. But as well as being left wing socialists/commies they ALSO have to be elitist and so only get a card if they can prove they are only at least 1 immediate family member removed from a multi millionaire. Unless they are working for Fox in which case they can get a card by default, but no one knows why this happens. In short, you can't wake up one morning and decide you and your iPhone are becoming a media company. You can make media but your not a member of the press. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2021 The Presidential pardon thing is absolutely shocking. I really cannot believe this exists, it's absolutely ridiculous. But the question is can Trump pardon people like our friend Derrick Evans before he's been charged with anything? If so they should not charge him with anything until Trump has gone.

He's digging his own grave (barring some pre-emptive pardon by Trump) and even if he doesn't get prosecuted he's going to become irrelevant after what happened. How the heck did he get elected as mayor of arguably the most liberal city in America, by the way? A bit of a side issue, but I think you have to make a bit of a distinction between New York on the federal level, where it is undoubtedly very liberal, and on the municipal level. It's true that the mayors preceding Giuliani were Democrats, but mostly not liberal ones as far as I understand, especially Koch. Not sure which American city is the most liberal. Maybe Austin or Seattle these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hilarious if he handed over the reigns and Pence just told him to go rot in hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that instance, yes he has. The impeachment, however failed, so no he hasn't if you follow? impeach him once, shame on you. impeach him, he can’t be impeached again.
