its not a matter of what the damage was, its the intent. protestors where trying to stop the process and obtain documents to refuse their use in the electrol college, in order to overturn the result. thats an attempted coup. they were mostly chancers but that was the objective of many present.
not really, its typically used where one doesnt have anything to back up a claim or doesnt want to show the source. its easy enough to give some source, let the reader judge the quality and credibility. those with decent sources usually give them, those without say dyor.
you'd think by now the Republicans would have found some other candidates, rather rely on this cockoo. with a recession, inflation and a geriatric likely running again, they'd only need to find someone a bit more centrist and energetic to clean up.
the pro-russian sentiment in some circles is eye-poppingly weird. libertarian conspriacy batland has been full of pro-putin view for years, even though he shares few of their views.
no, the argument is you shouldnt trust some source that believes/promotes some false or biased ideas. that arguement is completely sound, if a source is known to be untrustworthy, treat it as such.
well that depends on what you understand the purpose of face masks to be. the fact you bring up this tangent kinda says a lot about the position you were trying to make.
so who are these very long lived oligarchs in US?
oligarch power in Russia waned when Putin decided he didnt like them taking all the benefits of corruption. put one of them on trial to make the rest fall in line. they (or rather their businesses) then start paying lot of taxes, and they start...
you're using "oligarchy " as a fashionable term without understanding the difference from other terms. not sure if you mean corporatocracy, deep state, or both. Russia isnt really oligarchy, everything read in past few months tells me the Oligarchs have been a waning influence since the mid 00's...

not sure his praise of Putin is going to go down well with the traditional Republicans. pretty sure a couple of Republican representitives were calling for direct military assistance for Ukraine, where their mood is.
there isnt really any "ism", its always been a personality cult. however its pretty strong one, the Republicans fear there is enough support for him that will vote for him or an endorsment if he runs.
reminder that free speech is free from the state control and intervention. media companies are free to select what they please to publish or broadcast on their platforms. if you dont like it, you are free to setup an alternative platform.
the thing is, he wasnt charged with being a racist dickhead. as i understand it the evidence was such that self defense was reasonable legal defense, even if he did travel hundreds of miles to put himself in that place.
Ivanka has talent, by accounts, but also moderating Trump. would that appeal to the Trump base? the sons dont seem to have the charisma or talent, just be rabble rousers. they'll try at politics, fail, and fall into reality TV .
this had sweet fa to do with Trump. only thing US gov contributed (other than mis-information) was funding that amounted to forward orders on developed drugs.
