Gonzo79 13,345 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I can't believe how often people refer to American democracy as something admirable or to be cherished. The constitution and the founding principles - yes, what it has morphed into - no. Does anyone else think the poor security response to what happened last week was intentional? You're not telling me the Police, Feds and other groups didn't see it coming and had sufficient time to react. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is laughable that the US intelligence services are able to track and kill terrorists in caves or a house in Afghanistan and Pakistan and launch drones on specific targets in Iraq, but are unable to stop a few thousand loud and visible protesters from getting in the Capitol Hill grounds and building - especially during a period of heightened global security. Are they really as incompetent as the film industry makes out!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lucky for the protestors that Gerard Butler, Dwayne Johnson or Matt Damon weren't around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite enjoying the show, even some of what was on his autocue, but when the music started I realised that this was just more of the same mind-numbing bullshit we are daily directed to swallow. Ffs is there no honesty left anywhere. America might be happy to see the world through Hollywood's eyes but I seem to need something more corporeal.

Any chance you can provide details? Not too difficult surely. And I'm not going to to re-sign up just to provide details to you. Far more productive to ask whose interests you think the big parties govern? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
