Not exactly. Trump claims that he offered to deploy the National Guar and made this offer to Pelosi. The Speaker of the House is not in cha of security, so even if this offer was made, that was not her job. Sh in no way "didn't allow" the National Guard to be deployed, because t is also not her job, and outside of her authority.I read that the Sergeant at Arms (who answers to Pelosi) rejected the request which was made by the police chief. That conflicts with what you're saying. Unless both are true, and both requests were denied.
Are you sure now is a convenient time for your people to be trying to prevent presidents from abusing their power?
Presidents should never abuse their powers. Do you have specific allegations of Biden abusing his power, as you seem to be implying?
Yea, here are a few cases of it:Are you sure now is a convenient time for your people to be tryi prevent presidents from abusing their power?Presidents should never abuse their powers. Do you have specific allegations of Biden abusing his power, as you seem to be implying?
1) Biden border crisis, Biden crime crisis, Biden D.A. crisis
2) Biden threatening to hold aid from Ukraine unless they fire the prosecutor 3) Reducing police power during a crime crisis
4) Biden lying about his son's foreign business endeavors
I read that the Sergeant at Arms (who answers to Pelosi) rejected the request which was made by the police chief. That conflicts with what you're saying. Unless both are true, and both requests were denied.
Whichever is true, it was not Pelosi's decision to make, which makes your previous statement a lie.
It wasn't a lie, I guess I was wrong, but I don't lie to win arguments.I read that the Sergeant at Arms (who answers to Pelosi) rejecte request which was made by the police chief.

Like I told Aaron, I have no need to watch the circus. I already
believe that the ones who committed crimes (breaking and entering, assault, theft, vandalism) should be punished. Those who were there,
were let in, and did not do anything should not.
Other speakers were clearly inciting trouble and should also get in trouble.

I don't know anything for a fact, except that this news report
indicates that the former capitol police chief made a request to the
house and senate Sergeant at Arms (both of which report to
Pelosi/McConnel respectively) to deploy the national guard for the
planned January 6 event, but the former police chief said that his
request was denied.
I like to blame Pelosi for things, but blame can also be put Irving & Stenger (Sergeants at arms.) But Pelosi had no problem with deploying
the national guard in the days that followed, for narrative purposes.

Then why are border patrol agents recovering record quantitites of fentanyl?
Biden told you that "white people are the biggest threat to
homeland security," so armed with that advice, if
you shoot a bunch o
white people, you can just say "I did it because Biden misled me.."
Prove that Biden said that. You seem to be equating his statement of "white nationalists" to be the same as "white people". It definitely is not the same.
I mistyped that Biden quote. But the point is that it's wrong to blame Trump for the attack just because he got people riled up.

The point is that Trump abused his power, acted illegally, and tried to destroy the USA's democracy. We need to find out exactly what happened so that we can prevent it from happening again.
What is still unknown about what happened?
Then why are border patrol agents recovering record quantitites of fentanyl?
I don't know. Where did they recover that fentanyl? Was is from immigrants crossing the river (unlikely) or from the sixteen wheelers crossing at a highway border crossing (likely) or from tunnels (also likely)?

Only last week, I learned something new. Namely that the leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers met in a garage on Jan 5 to discuss plans for the 6th. Did you know that? and when did you know it?
I didn't know that. And I can see how that story sorta backs up Biden's "biggest threat" narrative. But what good does it do?

The media calls them "Trump supporters," and Jeff calls them "conservatives." I think their angle is to maintain the alienation of conservatives. "You guys did this!" and "If you continue to vote Republican then it means that you wanted those people to get hurt on January 6!"
Trump could do us all a huge favor by running for congress, but he's too full of himself to do that. Everyone just wants to be president.
For a while, Candace Owens was talking about launching a presidential campaign
but she too needs to get off her high horse. I wrote to her and told her something like "Candace, our state (NY) is being destroyed by Democrats and no GOP candidate is even running for assembly in like 30 districts. Do us a favor and run for state assembly so you can help fix our state!" She'd totally
win if she ran, but no, it's president or nothing.
George Soros is the leader of a large population of leftists, and he sa
that
he wants criminals to be out of jail, but it would be a stretch for me declare that Georgie is the cause of the current crime crisis that we'r
dealing with.
Do you have some context here? I would guess he did not mean all of them.
George Soros is trying to overhaul our justice system by financing the campaigns of Democrat progressive DAs who are minimizing prosecutions accross the country.

All of the above are criminal offenses. The second group are milder,
and those who have been arrested have often been let off with probation.
What you left out of the first group is the primary purpose of some,
namely to interupt or prevent the counting of the electoral votes in the hopes of somehow letting Trump get away with a successful coup.
First of all, the January 6 committee does not have the power to put Trump in jail. Secondly, it's not a distraction; most people can deal with multiple things at the same time. Thirdly, Biden is not on the ballot in November.
What's the point then? What are they trying to get out of this? Biden's not on
the ballot, but a lot of idiots who've supported him are, like Chuck Schumer. Voters should be consciencious of whether or not they're voting for a Biden (destroyer of the USA) supporter or not.
I'm not jumping to disarmament, but the House is.
No, they're not.
Ok, let's call it something else then, like "slight disarmament."
My point of that is that there are already laws against heroin possession, but
people possess it anyway, and they'll do the same with assault weapons if that's what they're into.
Thanks for that confirmation! The leftists want to fix the opinions that people have about the 2020 election. They want to broadcast it on the mega screen in Times Square that "Trump was wrong about the 2020 election!" Like anyone really cares?
The media calls them "Trump supporters," and Jeff calls them "conservati I think their angle is to maintain the alienation of conservatives. "You did this!" and "If you continue to vote Republican then it means that yo wanted those people to get hurt on January 6!"That would be a good example of black-and-white thinking on their part, but I have seen similar applied here before when it comes to Republicans.

Then again, for celebrities and people who think they are, you are probably right... it is probably President or nothing. :)
Ok, now I see where the jump to "wants all criminals out of jail" comes from. If Soros is really financing these campaigns, then it does sound like he is not from the "hard on crime" line of thinking. I have read somewhere, other than here, that he does put money into progressive DA's campaigns but I don't remember where so I cannot say now how credible I believe it to be.
As with every midterm, the sitting President (and the policies of his administration) are indirectly on the ballot. Midterms can change a President's term. Bill Clinton was on his way to being a single-term President until the Republicans cleaned up during his first midterm.
The biggest reason Trump lost in 2020 was the same biggest reason that Hilary lost in 2016... they both preached too much to their own choir. Hilary did not visit a lot of place and mostly preached to the large
urban areas (and called people in other areas names). Trump preached to his base and did not account much at all for those in "the center" that voted for him in 2016.
But for Trump, had he not ruined his once impeccable reputation as president,
he could have moved on and ran for congress in Florida, and that way he'd still be able to help all of America, just in a slightly smaller way.
know. They focused on the Trump group making claims that the election
was stolen, that Trump knew that his fraud statements were false but making them anyway, and as a side comment how Trump used the election fraud story to dupe $250,000,000 out of those who believed him. At
least some of that money went to various cronies -- but they did not say where most of it went.

I'm trying to comprehend this, because I was not paying attention back in those days. But Clinton was doing bad? And some midterm results led him to shape-up ahead of re-election?
Or do I got that all wrong?

Yea, he missed a lot of opportunities to connect with Americans. Bush & Obama talked to us a lot through special broadcasts from the oval office. Can a president just do those whenever he wants? Or does he need to have friends in the media? Trump did not do many of them (if any?)

It's really hard for someone, not affected by the extreme brainwashing in the USA, to understand that a single USAian cannot know how stupid and incompetent Trump was and still is.
Person, woman, man, camera, TV. Just saying...
His ratings were not great. Every time he would say something middle-of-the-road in the press, before you knew it Hillary would be giving her own soundbyte and often contradicting him with a more left-leaning opinion. For example, she contradicted him often when it came to universal health care and what type and size of employers might
be forced to provide it.
I am not 100% on how that works. I would guess that the White House announces that the President plans to address the Nation on a date and time, and then the networks decide if they are covering it.

that came before them.
Maybe I have missed most of them, but Biden hasBiden has done 30 in ~2 years. <-- more than Trump's 26 in half the time
not done too many, either.

They are referred to officially as "Address to the Nation," and apparently the President requests them. Obama requested 20 of the over two terms, and Trump requested 26 of them in one term:

As it is required by the US Constitution, every president has made

The SOTU is technically an address to Congress, as mandated by the Constitution, while Addresses to the Nation are addresses to the people of the United States. As such, they are not synonymous, and one is not a subset
of the other. Addresses to the Nation are typically delivered from behind the
Resolute Desk, although Obama used other locations in the White House as well.
