suffice to say the allegation falls flat.
it doesnt though. just because most people there weren't there to do harm doesn't mean there weren't groups present that did intend harm to the political process and leaders. the parliamentarians' offices were ransacked. not most of congress, not most of the offices of the people the mob hated, the parliamentarians. that is a particular place to ransack because its where the electoral votes are supposed to be stored but fortunately they weren't there. somebody went there with explicit plans to fuck up the american election. trump's response was to keep watching on tv. i don't know how we are so far apart on this.
trump's response was to keep watching on tv.
He was in the middle of his speech when it started
He sent several tweets telling the crowd to go home. Twitter was deleting them.
There is disputes over who was in charge of the Guard, and there was certainly the police letting everyone in.
when it started, how about for the next 3 hours? a handful of tweets are not the limits of presidential power. there are disputes over who was in charge of the guard and why the police were so lackadaisical to start but thats not an excuse for what happened.
My point is: When voter fraud is alleged, someone has taken a sledgehammer to the principles of democracy. But it isn't automatically the guy making the claim.
I don't see how that's relevant, except in Trump's favor. He left, after all. Very dictatorial thing to do /s.
I don't think we will come to an agreement about what that was, but suffice to say the allegation falls flat.
It's a sleezy power grab, but Biden is more sock puppet than tyrant.
I'd say the 'no amendment is absolute' comment is by far the most tyrannical attitude he's displayed so far.
