Who ever suggested we could! All we can do, together with all our fellow citizens, is show solidarity with those in the USA who also see the danger. As there are some here who don’t, making sure they know their views are not accepted by everyone is the least I can do. It’s not much and my contributions to various US based sites are more interesting. Just as long as its not all a waste of time.

Trump only dominates this section of HOL in the mind of one particular poster with TDS.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

"President Joe Biden repeatedly told Special Counsel Robert Hur he had 'no idea' how government documents ended up at his D.C. office and his Wilmington garage, according to an interview transcript released minutes before the start of a bombshell hearing Tuesday." Four more years please

Trump could not have Biden indicted anymore than Biden can have Trump indicted now. What he could do is appoint a lackey as the AG and then pressurise them to take action. The result of which could easily be a mass resignation by the Justice Department followed by support in other Departments and for the wheels of government to stop turning. It would not be the media in meltdown. It would be the USA. You didn't see Naga crying when Trump won? Or the general reaction from the BBC? It was the same as Brexit. As for the rest, childishly naive and frankly laughable, risible.

Not my time; yours since you're the one answering different people several times a week and to date seem to have convinced a grand total of zero posters to change their mind.

Four more years please Do you seriously think that someone like Biden does his own filing and supervision of storage? He has a large team to do such things. One of his advisors would have been responsible for deciding which of the many thousands of documents needed to be returned to government storage and which retained. They obviously got something wrong. It happens and I expect has happened many times before, without it being noticed. That doesn’t mean Biden escapes responsibility because he takes the ultimate responsibility for everything done in his name. He accepted that and cooperated. Trump could also have been cut some slack if all he had done was identical. It wasn’t. He deliberately retained documents and then both tried to conceal the fact and obstructed those looking for them. Then suggesting he declassified them before leaving office just makes his culpability look obvious.

I don’t expect to change any minds. It doesn’t matter if I do here. On the US sites maybe. What it does is inform. Primarily myself.

No I didn’t but I can understand why and respect her for such an honest response. It’s hardly though a media meltdown is it? It’s one presenter showing emotions on air. The BBC report as truthfully as they can what they see happening. That your perception might be different doesn’t mean it’s right or theirs is wrong. It’s my belief that the general reaction to Trump’s victory in 2016 and all he has done subsequently, both in the UK and in the rest of the free world, is much more in line with mine than with anyone who believes in him. The BBC reporting that accurately is what they do. You seeing bias where none exists is what you do.

I’m struggling to see the relevance of that comment. Maybe instead of bothering with insignificant me you should spend some time with CNN, MSNBC etc. You’ll discover objectivity and intelligence there. Thus proving there is still hope and good people in the USA.
