I see the man has pardoned all of the thugs who attacked the Capitol 4 years ago in a blanket pardon and allowed para-military groups armed to the teeth back on the streets. This has essentially given them free rein to do whatever they want without retribution and Chump will also call on them to do any dirty work at his bidding. So now we have our very own Putin on our doorstep with ideas beyond reasonable belief that he may or may not implement and his evil intent to try and destroy the Canadian economy is scary at best and unthinkable in the worst case scenario. Canadians hate the man with an intensity that can't be measured on any known scale due to his contempt for everything that is non-American and loves anything that can fill his pockets at someone else's expense. We will soon have a change of government with Trudeau on the way to oblivion and his replacement in Polievre is almost disliked as much as Trump and so we are also entering a difficult re-alignment of Canadian policies. Polievre is a Trump fan and so where that love-in will take us is anyone's guess, but in his defence he will not back down to threats, and so we will have to wait and see, but the damage could be done before he is elected and therein lies our concerns.
And we get hot under the collar at prisoners being let out a few months early to free up prison space. The Donald gave pardons to people that were sentenced to 20 years, some had beaten up police officers
And Biden pardoned his criminal son and another family member plus Fauci and Millie None of it is right
Trump/Biden........minor details. Didn't Tony Blair, against Parliament wishes give pardons to 187 IRA suspected terrorists ?
I can't understand the criticism of Fauci because without his control during the pandemic the death toll in the U.S. would have been way higher. Remember this President recommended that people be injected with disinfectant to rid them of Covid and at the same time that the pandemic was a total lie being inflicted on the population. He also claimed that he got the virus and spent a couple of days in hospital being supervised by a team wearing a logo that said they were the special medical consultants to POTUS. He never believed that the virus existed and yet he managed to get it which was in fact an attempt to get pity from the public leading up to his real loss to Biden. People are talking about the corrupt Biden family and to them I ask if there are any American politicians that aren't bent. I have to say that I do agree in principle to a lot of what Chump says but I don't like his bullying tactics and some of his rants are totally bang out of order. Time alone will judge him and until then I wait in anticipation and some fear as to what he will implement against his nearest neighbour and one of his biggest and most reliable trading partners. On a slight side note I dread to think what would have happened if he had lost this election because by now the streets could have been filled with blood. Giving the criminals who perpetrated violence at the Capitol 4 years ago has given them validity to do whatever they want and not face consequences which I reckon is as close to a criminal offence as there is possible, but of course he does everything legally.
Not really a defence is it, Donald was going to pardon them anyway regardless what Biden did. My point was there are those that criticise our government for releasing prisoners in this country a couple of months early to clear space, yet see nothing thing wrong with what trump has done,
As I've said at least twice on this thread I'm not sure I agree with it BUT I believe there were preventable circumstances for averting what happened on January 6th. Trump tweeted beforehand urging his supporters to be law abiding and calm - the post was quickly removed by Twitter He had also asked for the National Guard to be deployed around the Capitol building previously for safety reasons, but this request was refused by Pelosi. So it begs further questions such as why was the young and unarmed woman shot and killed by Security in the Capitol building ? And it's now coming to light that the Biden administration and the FBI knowingly suppressed both the Hunter Biden laptop story, and his many dodgy dealings in Ukraine for fear it would hurt his Fathers prospects. It's also since come to light from Mark Zuckerberg himself that the US Government also forcibly told him to remove any posts on Twitter or Instagram questioning the safety of Covid vaccines. They're all crooks
Fair enough, I don’t follow it that closely I admit. I wouldn’t defend Biden over the incident with his son, but on the face of it at least what Trump has done in releasing the people sentenced for storming the White House is crazy, even if there should have been better security that doesn’t excuse what that mob did, it was dangerous for democracy. Imagine if a mob charged and entered the Houses of Parliament or 10 Downing Street.
Looking at the security steps not taken for the killer of the girls in Southport, nothing would surprise me any more
Again not a like for like comparison is it. Of course these type of incidents are appalling and should never happen, but I just don’t understand the mindset of pardoning people that threatened democracy itself, regardless which side of the political spectrum did it. It sets a very dangerous precedence.
It's all wrong whether that's pardoning friends, family members or supporters. But the world in general no longer knows right from wrong so who's surprised
Not many of you have countered me on my comments about the Chump and I can understand that you only see what his presidency brings to the world and especially the U.K. and Europe. Take a look at what he is saying about Canada becoming the 51st state of the union and it is something he has continually said and not only do these stupid statements hurt Canadians but it also shows how vulnerable other nations are under the rule of a thug just down the road. His cob against Canada started during his last term when he insulted Trudeau and the rest of the international leaders attending the conference by pushing his way past others to get his mug shot up front and centre with the aplomb of an arsehole. This time out he has constantly called Trudeau the governor of the 51st state and he has not backed off on those comments and in fact he said the same during his virtual appearance in Davos to a World Forum today. The conference hall loudly gasped when he made that comment and right there and then he proved to the world that he can't be trusted, even with his biggest and longest ally all the way back to the start of the U.S.A. Our soldiers fought and died together in the name of freedom from tyranny during several wars and now this idiot is saying to hell with a wonderful friendship and he wants to become the first "King of America" and that presumably would include him, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and that now includes the Panama Canal. He also wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America poking his nose up at Mexico who send him most of their refugees. Living in Canada is like having a large boil on your arse as you know what it is but have no idea what it will be in a years time, especially under the health care offered by Chump. The man is a total moron and today only part of his hidden agenda was blurted out in front of a major international crowd and I just hope they alone have woken up to what an over-egoed maniac could do the world order. My life here on Vancouver Island is sheer bliss and the thought of American tanks rolling down our streets to take us over is a frightening thought and although there will be many who say it will never happen has to take in the fact that we are dealing with Donald. J .Trump the first president with a criminal conviction who is capable of doing anything at anytime. Uncertainty ahead for us and that's not a pleasant feeling, so we hope cooler heads will prevail.
it’s the fact that he’s pardoned those that have rioted against the result of a legitimate election. That’s troubling to say the least, let’s hope it doesn’t set a precedent.
The rule of law in the USA has gone based on these inexcusable pardons by Chump. He has essentially given the proud boys and others the right to do as they like without fear of being held accountable for their deeds. The gun laws will forever haunt Americans, if it continues in it's current format, and how on earth their leader can condemn the UK for ethnic grooming is beyond belief when you consider how many innocent children are murdered in their classrooms by thugs carrying what should not be allowed in a civil society, but those south of our border can never understand why they need gun control. I ask the question as to what you think would have happened if Trump had legitimately lost the election and my answer would be carnage beyond imagination and the perpetrators would undoubtedly be those who were sent to jail. The USA is a sad country made only for those who get all the breaks.
I didn’t answer the first time because it was obviously a WUM. if you can’t see the difference then I genuinely feel sorry for you. Just read Mike’s post.
