Trump having a business and living in New York is like swimming in shark infested waters. A Republican can never get fair hearing or justice in deep blue demonrats infested States like New York. It's all dirty politics - and we know it.

Most of what you posted is not true and talking points I know have been propagating via right wing media. You should have watched the 1/6 hearings. There was a lot of good information provided.. all by Trump's own people. Ex. The Capital Police Chief never said that. That narrative is false. I'm not relitigating it for you since the information is out there. It's your choice to to go find it, and find sources that actually report truthfully and also stop listening to the same people who continuously lie to you.

So, you don't need to believe me. I assume you're here to discuss and learn things. I presented you facts, backed with sources. It's your choice what you do with it. I don't think it's a badge of honor to continue to repeat propaganda(your post) or continue to be wrong. At least not for me.
It's one thing to read what's said, written and blown out of proportion as the "truth". It's another thing to think through these "truths" - for and by yourself and make clear logical deductions.

I watched the ex Capitol Police Chief said he requested for backup, in an interview. He was told by Piglosi's team that backup will not "paint the right optics". These were the words of the man in TV interview that I watched. Not some cooked up bullshit.

I have watched, read and "heard" many talks about Piglosi's J6 "Team" - and the RINOs among them (warmonger Liz Cheney and Cryin' Kizinger). I am fully convinced that the team basically put stuff out that suit their narrative. It was all a pack of carefully scripted lies, woven to deceive the gullible and uninformed. Why didn't Piglosi allow Jim Banks and others nominated by McCarthy to the team? Simple: To prevent the truth from ever seeing the light of the day. She hates opposing views to hers.

Piglosi will go down as one of the most ruthless, divisive, selfish and dangerous Speaker in US history!

I think the question you should consider is why why you think Tucker was overwhelmingly convincing.
Read this article about some of his texts between him and his producer re: Jan. 6th. They tell a different story of his concern than what he is expressing now.
https://www.mediaite.com/news/brutal-new-texts-reveal-tucker-carlson-and-producer-horrified-by-deadly-trump-anger-spiral-on-jan-6/

And here is the DOJ convicting Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy for Jan. 6th. Remember, this verdict had to be unanimous.. meaning 12 jurors out of 12 found that they were guilty.
https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/3755252-oath-keepers-leader-found-guilty-of-seditious-conspiracy/
There was a plan to overtake and hold hostage Congress drawn up complete with a weapons cache stored at a local hotel if they needed them. Hence the conviction. Yes, the plan wasn't wasn't up to snuff, but a lot of what didn't happened were thanks to those police who were in hand to hand combat with people at the doors, which gave the Congress just enough time to evacuate. Imagine what could have happened if they had caught Pelosi or some other congressperson.

I watched it live and was in shock, shock at how any of it was possible and why there was no backup coming. And months later, the one thing that reminded how crazy that day was the texts of the Secret Service agents protecting Pence, who have an understanding they may aways die in duty. They had text their family (wives. etc) goodbyes, because they thought/were in fear they may die that day. It's reprehensible for Tucker Carlson to spin it they way he did.
The highlighted bit of your post.

- I mean, c'mon man! Piglosi, Browser and McConnel knew such a huge crowd will descend on the Capitol. Why didn't they make provision for law enforcement backup to protect the building?
- Trump on his part has said, repeatedly too - over the past 2 years, that he specifically requested for the National Guard to be deployed for the event. It was turned down by Piglosi and Mayor Browser.
- The Capitol Police Chief, corroborated Trump's claim. He too requested for back-up from Piglosi's office. Someone in her office told him "it wasn't necessary - will not "provide the right optics".

How and why should I believe all you wrote up there?

There are very many sources saying the exact same thing, that "Brian Sicknick died of a stroke the very next day", but if you have an ono view, provide it please let us see it.
Tucker’s version of what transpired on J6 is overwhelmingly convincing. I will not argue any further.

I want to agree with you that we should double check information before coming to post stuff. But all these past two years Demonrats have made it extremely difficult to believe their version of what happened. They basically showed what supported their narrative that there was a “violent insurrection”.

Think about it buda, for a second. Is it really possible that those guys who were at the Capitol on J6 really went there to overthrow the US government ? Do you know what that entails ?

I’m sorry buda. I don’t agree with you. We’ve never agreed on most things anyways. So.

After listening to Tucker, yesterday, folks I believe J6 was a trap set up by the Dems for Trump to walk into. I think Trump knew - but he decided he’d go in all thesame, knowing that one day, he will be vindicated.

SlyfoxxMadness:
Lol I haven't personally used Facebook in any serious manner since at least 2015 and very few people in my age group do but it’s still a very important voter mobilization tool for a politician, especially a conservative politician like Trump who has a large base of older voters. (Facebook is still very popular among senior citizens) so I’m glad he’s back. In fact that’s probably the reason Meta reinstated him. He is a leading presidential candidate now so if they didn’t reinstate him and his opponents where on the platform, that would be unfair and may even be considered an in-kind contribution to his opponents campaign.
You can read the below:

Mollie Hemingway: Facebook Unbanning Trump "Isn't Even Close To Making Right To What They Did To This Country"
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/01/25/mollie_hemingway_facebook_unbanning_trump_isnt_even_close_to_making_right_to_what_they_did_to_this_country.html

The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway on Wednesday called Facebook an existential threat to the country and the Republican party and said if they believe unbanning former President Donald Trump makes up for what they have done, "they have another thing coming."

"If you can do this to the sitting president of the United States, this makes you more powerful than most governments," Hemingway said on Fox News.

"They are not just private companies," Hemingway said. "They have a lot of privileges that are afforded to them. This cannot continue. And if they think, oh, after two years of this type of thing, allowing a little bit of more free expression would keep people from coming after them, I think they have another thing coming. They are an existential threat to the country and the party."

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, THE FEDERALIST: It is unbelievable that they were allowed for two years, that Facebook was allowed to deplatform at first the sitting president of the United States, then the leader of the Republican party, now a candidate for president, a potential future president of the United States. They did this in part because people were not creating enough outrage over it.

Facebook in general has done so much to attack freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the freedom of free people to debate. They didn't do it just with Trump. They did it with all sorts of effective voices. All sorts of important debates about COIVD. And, so, finally two years later after meddling in election after election, now they're finally saying, oh, he can come back now. This isn't even coming close to making right what they did to this country and what they continue to do...

It is true that the left has become this authoritarian totalitarian force. They have pushed to continue this horrific censorship that has done so much to destroy civil society in the United States. So they did try to keep the pressure on Facebook. But that is not to their credit that they are even worse than Google or Facebook or Twitter or these Big Tech companies that have done so much censorship against the American people.

It's just crazy how much the left supports this type of restriction on how people can say or think or what should happen to them when they do. I think it's also worth remembering when this happened -- when this move to take President Trump off of these platforms happened -- it was so bad that it alarmed people who don't even have the protections of our First Amendment. Angela Merkel was appalled. Various other European leaders were terrified about what was happening with how much control these Big Tech companies have over -- if you can do this to the sitting president of the United States, this makes you more powerful than most governments.

They are not just private companies. They have a lot of privileges that are afforded to them. This cannot continue. And if they think, oh, after two years of this type of thing, allowing a little bit of more free expression would keep people from coming after them, I think they have another thing coming. They are an existential threat to the country and the party.

PoliticsRe: Addis Ababa Beats Lagos To Light Rail As Construction Delays Mount by ono(m): 6:27pm On Dec 16, 2022
SB2020:
Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million
GDP == $50Billion (Ethiopia) / $100Billion (Est.) (Nigeria - $535B)


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.

for your information i don't live in Lagos, and will never wish to live in Lagos. I just have sympathy for those living there cos the place is so jam packed, such that life will always be difficult for you there irrespective of how much earn for a living. Efforts should be geared towards decongesting that city instead it is being jam packed the more.
Living in Lagos is nightmare I will never wish to experience even though I've visited there on a few occasions. And each time I've always been eager to leave that city. Those who live there are really strong
You should see opportunities in current state of Lagos - as per the dense population. That's a huge catalyst for expansion and growth. In fact, it's because of the "choked" nature of Lagos that we have the Lekki axis practically exploding with waves upon waves of investments. Epe that was a village a few years ago is set to witness massive infrastructure development that will transform the LGA to a mega money spinner for Lagos and Nigeria.

Try to se the positives to these so called "inconvenience" and invest.

Honestly, you don't have the slightest clue about what you are talking about and it sounds like incoherent rambling. And I'm not taking my time to go through it with you.
My suggestion. Research, Read and Think. Read not only articles of those you agree with but those you don't, esp. with a discerning mind. It'll help you sharpen you arguments. I gave you an article to read and I'm sure you know how to use google. Read up on the US legal system. Sentencing and how intent plays a role. How Jury Trial works and unanimous verdicts work. If you are interested in really learning more, will point you to some good places for unbiased info. But not following you down the rabbit hole

This isn't a disagreement about subjective matters yet. Your FACTS are just wrong.

Edit: This is important/ You have to understand Trump is a masterful marketer/propogandist. He said "there was no way he can get Justice in deep blue Washington DC, New York and California", so when he did get in trouble people like you would defend him. He primed your brain to disbelief anyone but him. And it worked. That's what serial abusers do. In the US, trials are by unanimous verdict. And both prosecutors and defense attorneys get to shape the jury and can even dismiss certain jurors they dislike. So, your argument has to be that in any of these places there were 0 Trump Supporters who made it on the jury? Because even 1 person not agreeing that he was guilty would lead to a "hung jury".
OK. I only posted my views and opinions - not facts. The facts have been out there for months/years. Klinesmith's crime can be looked up anywhere. Easy man.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by ono(m): 3:30pm On Dec 13, 2022
To IjeBos, as per your post above:

This is the problem we have tabled before everyone who cared to do a bit of insight to what's eating away at the very fabric of the USA foundation. I recognise that no one is perfect in this world and Donald Trump - as far as I can see, is not Jesus Christ!

But when Donald Trump said there was no way he can get Justice in deep blue Washington DC, New York and California, because of the level of bias, corruption and evil to which the jury and judges in these places brazenly display, please, push politics aside and believe him.

What Clinesmith did deserves the harshest penalty ever to be meted out to a government official, especially someone working for an organisation like the FBI! But he was given a pat on the back and told to go and sin no more! What he did was tantamount to a coup on a sitting POTUS, especially when he was found out! Ideally, that should be an automatic life sentence. But here we are! You can argue it's not my call to make that decision, no problem.

Now, compare that with the persecution Trump is facing in Manhattan because of some taxes not paid on fringe benefits by his staff and all the noise this has attracted. Is that not the highest level of hypocrisy on display??

As far as I can see, if these biases, corruption and evil that has permeated the judicial system in the US is not addressed, as soon as possible, it will spell the death knell of that country - that's if the country is not yet gone already!
