that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,
It is this last part that we are coming dangerously close too. I am of the mind that things can change for the better and conflict can be avoided, but the clock is ticking and so far few in congress seem to care
“That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,”

Some Americans would say such a checklist is what Donald Trump is following. Who knows, you might be right. However, according to historical accounts; it was the foundation of control used by Adolf Hitler in his rise to power within Nazi Germany.
Moral: Loyal Trumpers will allow this insanity to continue.
Real loyal members of our proud Republican Party will stand alongside the Democrats and force an end to the insanity.
I wouldn’t be “some”. And I don’t see ANY of those as done. I’m sure the ones on the other side think they all are done too, thus the lively discussion on this forum.
For those of you who think Trump delivered on his promises, here are some which he most certainly didn’t.
“Real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as Obamacare."
“I will ask, to appoint a special prosecutor. We have to investigate Hillary Clinton, and we have to investigate the investigation.”
“We can provide six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.”
“We will build an active army around 540,000 as the army’s Chief of Staff has said he needs desperately and really must have to protect our country.”
“I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall.”
I do not wish to poke my nose into American politics, being from the UK I do realize that we are in a bigger mess than Boris’s hair cut. I am neither right wing nor left wing, perhaps I lean to the right. However, I had a dream last night and came up with what I saw as a perfect solution - America to have two presidents -
Candice Owens and Tulsi Gabbard.
Just a dream,
Dominion Voting Systems on Friday filed a defamation lawsuit against attorney Sidney Powell for what they say is her role in orchestrating a “demonstrably false” conspiracy theory about the Colorado-based voting machine company rigging the 2020 presidential election.
“She has directly accused Dominion of fraud, election rigging, bribery, and conspiracy, which are serious crimes,” the company wrote in its complaint filed in D.C. federal court. “Powell’s statements have exposed Dominion to the most extreme hatred and contempt.”
The suit, which is seeking nearly $1.3 billion in damages, accuses Powell of leading a pervasive campaign to spread false election theories that gained currency with President Trump.
A former federal prosecutor, Powell rose to become a close adviser to Trump in the closing days of his presidency, meeting with him repeatedly as he mounted increasingly desperate attempts to overturn the outcome of an election he lost by more than 7 million votes.
To refer to the violence that occurred as a ‘protest gone too far’ is pathetic, just as miserable as trying to justify it by turning attention to the ‘left’ - for one second think of the fear that men and women were subjected to because they were simply doing their job.
People lost their lives as a result of this ‘protest’ - go to their families with these stupid words or excuses, sympathize with them, attempt to understand their pain, say you are sorry for their loss - then take these stupid excuses for violence put them in your pocket and go home.
Where is the entirety of the membership of Congress in any of that, @falstaff? Where is the VP of the US in any of that? Senate Majority Leader? Speaker of the House? Where are the top members of the US government in any of those riots/protests?
Were those riots/protests also on the same day the government was certifying the election for president?
Were those riots/protests literally taking place in the house of the US Government?
