Did Trump have an un-democratic US dream to enter the Capitol with an armed mob and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

American voters see Trump as engaged in nothing less than an attempt to overthrow the government by force. This amounts to criminal sedition. Add to these allegations interruptions of a congressional proceeding, defrauding an American election, destroying U.S. property, seditious conspiracy is now in play, and assaulting a Secret Service agent.

A Russian government default on its international debts would be the first time in 100 years after time runs out for Moscow.

This little dictator has responded angrily to the situation, claiming the default has been engineered by Washington. It has insisted it is willing and able to pay. So he better put up, or shut up.

Russia's Central Bank no longer has access to around $300 billion of the country's total reserves of about $640 billion. The Russian government used U.S.-held reserves to make coupon payments on dollar-denominated debt on a case-by-case basis.

Submitted by ub on

The Wild West was awesome, but that's not to say it was as attractive as some video games, television, and films make it out to look.

There's a lot of false facts about the old west out there in the wild, and we're here to run 'em down, tie 'em up, and leave 'em on the train tracks, like the dastardly myth-busters we are.

Prepare for the wild east, and more specifically, The Big Apple firearms circus, because SCOTUS has ruled that NY gun laws are restrictive.

Following the fourth hearing, there was the same number of takeaways. Four strikes and Donald Trump should be out and locked up.

Trump and his team:

Public statements: Americans are giving us so much evidence of election misconduct...  

Private conversations: We’ve got lots of theories. We just don’t have the evidence required.

Joe Biden is old and in shape. But Donald Trump is old, fat, and a traitor.

On June 17 1972 a break-in at Democratic headquarters led by Republican crook Richard Nixon ended with his resignation on 8/5/74.

It was nearly 50 years ago this day, that Tricky Dick showed the GOP to prey on Democracy and the rule of law our founding fathers had meticulously crafted to avoid the circumstances we face today from the Republican Party and the dirty trick they continue to play.
