    That's quite a stretch. These people were part of a mob trying to prevent the elected leader of the US from being certified by congress so that Trump, who lost the election, could hold on to power.


    That's a far cry from wrong-think.
    Nope, that was last week, this is next week. These things grow legs... that's the nature of corruption. Another example of corruption could be ...Everyone was OK with the violent riots looting and destruction in local communities supported by the people in the capitol, egged on by people in the capitol, with police removed from the streets by people in the capitol. The anarchy existed for months in some cities, then we turn around and say the seat of democracy is in the capitol. And robbing **** there is not on.

    I know there was a protest against the validation, but was it organised from the start to go into the Capitol building, and who was privy to that?
    What was trumps knowledge / participation- go and protest or go into the Capitol? Obviously one is 100% OK and one is far from it.
    unless there is proof the whole impeachment thing is some variation on a wankfest

    Which is kind of insane when you think about it. You even see it here. It's come to the point where left/right isn't really what divides people anymore - it's between the informed and the misinformed.

    Hold on, you're trying to tell me Bain Capital's own Mitt Romney is NOT a communist?

    Yeah, pull the other one comrade. :rolleyes:

    I think a lot of people misunderstand what impeachment is. It's just addressing charges against a government official - akin to being sent to stand trial. After impeachment, the Senate has to try the accused. It's the outcome of that that would potentially have consequences (he was acquitted last time).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,686 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980



    If the Impeachment is successful he would be tried in the Senate and if convicted in the Senate can be barred from holding office again. It's literally in the Constitution:

    Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States.

    He's too old, and in 4 years he will be old news.

    Agreed. I know impeachment is not a big deal in itself, not judgment is highly unlikely

    You don't agree that private companies can make their own rules? Because that's what the Republicans believe in.

    So you're claiming censoring Nazis is like being a Nazi? :confused:

    Ron Paul is a Nazi deserving to be banned now? Evidence your honour?

    Repeated use of 'fight' seems like a slam dunk, but, of course, he would undoubtedly claim he was using the word 'fight' as in to 'struggle', 'strive' or 'contend'.

    I certainly do not disagree that he used a lot of fiery rhetoric, but I do think that if you accuse him directly of incitement to storm the Capitol, you give him and his lawyers an easy dodge.

    Oh so he just meant jihad. Whew.

    He does not seem to know either last thing he posted he says was a publishment of some sort that he's been publishing since the 70s it's on his twitter their going after all Conservative, rupublican and right way accounts twitter has lost millions off accounts due to it and also their share price is crashing.

    Yeah, coz that's exactly what the Nazis did - require people to sign up to terms and conditions when using a product, and then withdraw the services of their products when those terms and conditions were broken. :rolleyes:

    Ron Paul is a guy who has spent his life talking up the free market and being anti-regulation but now is crying tears because a private company believes he repeatedly broke the rules he agreed to when joining the service and has limited his right to post.

    Seems like the free market is only good when it is screwing the little guy.

    What he posted certainly looks like pushing anti-semitic propaganda....

    It is a great irony that he's a Libertarian who's pushed for little to no government regulations of corporations for decades now, and he's made a lot of money off of this. Of course when it impacts him it's a problem.

    Sonic just linked to older stuff he posted that pretty clearly uses anti semitic tropes. Guessing he's in trouble due to frequently posting misinformation though. He was in trouble recently with youtube for corona misinformation. The guy has gone the direction of Alex Jones by looks of things. Poor mite.

    OK, and now in English...

    With videos and everything. Even featured a cop getting beaten to death with Trump flags.

    Was that the cop that died or was it the cop that got hit with the fire extinguisher

    The "white man" as you describe it is clearly drawn in the same style as Jews were caricatured in anti-Semitic propaganda going back decades. The other people depicted are also standard stereotypes with long standing traditions in racist publications. Ron Paul, as a veteran politician, would most certainly be well aware of these facts, and could not credibly claim that he was just posting an innocent cartoon depicting some friendly multi-cultural faces. I don't know you, so I don't know what your excuse for not knowing this is, but now you do know.

    Libertarians are an extreme bunch. Bit weird that there were no notices though and that it happened today when all he posted an article criticising social media companies. I guess it is a bit conspiracy theoryish.

    Yeah mate, that's all it is. Thanks for confirming you're just another troll.

    You’re kidding right.

    That's a mix up on my part. I forgot that it was two cops. One as you said with the fire extinguisher and another beaten but not killed with Trump flags.

    Jews subverting culture with communism is literally out of the playbook of Nazi propaganda.
