villakram Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Sam-AVFC said: Such a shame about US warships patrolling the world after Trump showed enormous self control keeping them all in the US for the last few years. If you gave a shit about Muslims being killed in Myanmar you would have mentioned it before when it was being ignored by worldwide leadership, rather than waiting for a chance to snipe at Trump's enemies. At least you've showed some consistency for once in supporting both coups this month. Nice job reading that and taking - villakram supports military coups/dictatorships from it - truly impressive. I made a factual statement and then a comment wondering if we would all be told how wonderful Suu Kyi is all over again. That her regime was somewhat ignored by worldwide leadership is implied in that comment, hence the potential dusting off of the heroine freedom shtick. Though , to be fair, Trump stealing all the air in the room did contribute quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Anyway back on the home front. A dangerous situation in New York, defused by some fine - how many police officers does it take to... - police work, where a vicious 9 year old girl was prevented from going on the rampage and killing millions of innocent babies, probably. Disgraceful, blood boiling stuff. https://www.khou.com/article/news/state/videos-show-rochester-police-officers-pepper-spraying-9-year-old/71-618fbe04-72a2-430f-996c-a10b6f2adc94?fbclid=IwAR1siulps_Qpyt5v_Qa3C47Ct-4OsfOP95KHiBzyB4FJIarC89QFcJFs8Ns "Police in Rochester have released two body-camera videos of officers restraining a distraught 9-year-old girl who was handcuffed and sprayed with what police called a chemical “irritant.”" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2021 How's this for retarded? Quote They were there to "Stop the Steal" and to keep the President they revered in office, yet records show that some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol did not vote in the very election they were protesting. One was Donovan Crowl, an ex-Marine who charged toward a Capitol entrance in paramilitary garb on January 6 as the Pro-Trump crowd chanted "who's our President?" Federal authorities later identified Crowl, 50, as a member of a self-styled militia organization in his home state of Ohio and affiliated with the extremist group the Oath Keepers. ... Among those who didn't vote were a 65-year-old Georgia man who, according to government documents, was found in his van with a fully-loaded pistol and ammunition, and a Louisiana man who publicly bragged about spending nearly two hours inside the Capitol after attending Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally. Another was a 21-year-old woman from Missouri who prosecutors say shared a video on Snapchat that showed her parading around with a piece of a wooden sign from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office. And a Florida man previously convicted of attempted murder who was accused by the government of refusing to leave the Capitol likely did not have the option to cast a ballot because of his unpaid court fines.

il_serpente Posted February 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2021 Why would they bother to vote in a rigged election? Better just to try to install by force the one who would obviously have won the election if it were free and fair. Can't be bothered with trivial stuff like voting when protecting democracy from radical left marxists who would take their guns and prevent them from overruling the peoples' choice in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Nutcase, nutcase, what'cha gonna do, what'cha gonna do when they come for you.. CNN Quote Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Monday issued a tacit rebuke of controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, slamming the Georgia Republican's "loony lies and conspiracy theories" as a "cancer" for the party. "Loony lies and conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country," McConnell said in a statement. "Somebody who's suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.'s airplane is not living in reality. This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party." The not-so honourable lady replied.. @villakram - what do you think of Marjorie? Edited February 2, 2021 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Mitch missed the 'Jewish Space Lasers started the California wildfires' theory. Quote In November 2018, California was hit with the worst wildfire in the state’s history. At the time, future Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote a bizarre Facebook post that echoed QAnon conspiracy theorists and falsely claimed that the real and hidden culprit behind the disaster was a laser from space triggered by some nefarious group of people. https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/marjorie-taylor-greene-penned-conspiracy-theory-laser-beam-space-started-deadly-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced Hawley is savvy enough, he’s too keen for the spotlight so sometimes falls over himself. It’s the Tom Cottons of this world who lay in the dark, let’s Hawley and Cruz do the hard graft before they eventually slip up and he is a bit more savvy and will only come out at the right time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the U.S. What a total shit hole of a country. Not really though. Think of the avowed communists who get elected to parliaments in many places in europe or outright fascists or utopian green folks. It's a big place, that there's an oddball or two can hardly be said to be that unusual. Re-election will say something different ala the interesting gentleman from Iowa who was only recently ousted after a long tenure. How would this compare with Berlusconi? Sarcozy or Boris?

It's really up to the people of her district to cast verdict in 2022. Her sanity or otherwise, who knows. Afterall, politicians are well known to say what "we" like to hear.
