Posts: 1116Republican members giving "reconnaissance" tours
Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, revealed Tuesday that several Republican members gave “reconnaissance” tours to would-be rioters on the eve of the insurrection..
Several members of congress (both Dems. And Repl.), feared for their lives and thought they'd be turned over to the white supremacist riot / mob insurrectionists, by their fellow congress QAnon and Republicans members sympathizers.

According to Mapping Police Violence, officers have killed 1,066 people in 2020 more than 28 percent of them Black, despite Black people making up only 12 percent of the USA Population.
So on a per-capita basis, blacks are more than twice as likely to be killed by cops.
Then have it excused by ShooBree due to his Stupid Swede prejudice.

And to changing employment landscapes, people need to adapt, learn new skills. But then we are back to personal responsibility, which is much harder than shaking one's finger at Facebook and Amazon. There BTW has been a lengthy discussion about this in the "Rants" thread under the FKK section in the Europe section.
P.S. This may sound harsh, but here goes. The fact that so many Americans today are believing ridiculous lies doesn't speak well to the intelligence of many of our citizens. Do you want them creating technology and deciding how the business is run? Or rather a couple of greedy college kids in a Harvard dorm room. You can give free college to the former, but you'll have to dumb down the work and they may drop out anyway. These though should have some kind of living and some entertainment, if they are able and willing to work, and there are plenty of opportunities in the USA.
Some have wanted to make excuses for the Capital rioters, but all we know of had a job or a business, or was leeching off a wife who did. So Socialism is a tough sell in the states, thus the Crazy Bernies and AOCs haven't seen success at the national level.

That said, one and all, I'm outtahere for one month, on vacation, and I don't do politics when focused solely on having fun. The rest of you sensible folks hold down the fort, unravel the lies and fake spins as you wish, but most of all relish in the fact that we won the election, and "by a lot. " Wink.
P.S. Regarding this post that I'm replying to and others, what we need more than anything is an informed citizenry. When we have so many people running around believing and spreading lies, and lacking the ability to make valid deductions and comparisons, we have real problems. We could start with improving public education in the US. So when a liar like Lin Wood, Hannity, Alex Jones, etc. Opens their mouth one is skeptical and investigates. For example, the other day Alex made a statement about CDC numbers that the sheeple will accept without question. But one quick look at the source and the claim was instantly refuted. That is one of a slew of examples.

Let's take on one issue at a time. Of course some influence others. Start with the invasion of the north and South American continents in 1492, culminating in the genocide of native peoples and theft of their lands. "Manifest Destiny" "Trail of Tears" any of heard those terms. (James) "Monroe Doctrine" "Remember the Maine" & "Alamo" too, USA's training South American soldiers (Fort Benning, named for Confederate General / slave holder) in "counter insurgency" tactics as part of its dirty little wars? Coup in Chile? Henry "Make the economy scream" Kissinger. Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas when Mina, AR was the staging point for weapons sent to the Contras, former members and supporters of the Somoza regime, using terror trying the retake Nicaragua from Daniel Ortega, the liberator now an oppressor of his own opposition. So many countries, so many insurgencies. The immigrant gang members sent to Honduras are back now. After two hurricanes and no help, it's no wonder a caravan is heading to "El Norte" Carlson says they will make USA dirtier and dangerous. They may work hard, send their children to schools and resist the next wave as Nimby's.

Posts: 2344Obama's administration successfully contained a virus that had the potential to be a global pandemic.
Primarily most of what the Trump Administration did was lie hundreds of times claiming to have contained their pandemic.

Joe and Kamala will get back the jobs Trump lost. 400,000 new jobs in clean air technologies alone.
