That is very close logic - and I am forced to admit you are right.

So..Let's start by saying, no other president in history won a second term with record votes like Trump, 75 millions.Next..Sleeping Joe win the election by 5 million more from his armchair without any rally up and down in USA. Now...Let's say this election was not a fraud, WHY Democrats refuse to prove Trump was wrong to claim fraud. What they were afraid off??All they had to do to let independence body to check results. But no..You lost, that's it!!That what upset the 75 million voters .

The problem with the Democrats & the left in general is they're just a rag tag bunch of thicko idealists who rally behind a single cause at election time. Once elected the focus becomes diffused and ineffective. Initiatives like ERASMUS are necessary to ensure a constant stream of fragile ideologies.

"We have just witnessed anarchy promoted by Trump and carried out by his supporters"

Anarchy?

The election was stolen by rampant fraud - they have a right to protest such.



"It's Over: Trump Promises "Orderly Transition" On Jan. 20 After Biden Win Certified"

Promoted by Trump??? Doesn't look so.


Like most Americans, I was absolutely horrified by the violence that I watched at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. But I had a difficult time trying to understand what I was witnessing. Trump supporters are almost always extremely peaceful, but many of those that were storming the Capitol were being very violent. That didn’t make sense to me. And how in the world did protesters get into the U.S. Capitol in the first place?




1) Well, it turns out that police actually opened up the barricades that were surrounding the U.S. Capitol and purposely allowed protesters to storm the building. See the video

2) Either the U.S. Congress has the worst security personnel that any of us have ever seen, or this was allowed to happen on purpose.

And there are multiple reports that Antifa activists were brought in by bus. In fact, one patriot actually recorded video of the Antifa buses that were brought into the heart of Washington D.C. with an escort…



And so the deception by the LEFT continues.....


Once they got inside the Capitol, the Antifa activists could have done a much better job of disguising themselves.

In fact, one has already been positively identified as a member of Philly Antifa…

False flag clearly. Deliberate attempt to smear Republicans, and Trump by extension.

And you've fallen for it Poikka.



"I'm saddened that you lot are also supporters of Brexit, you do the cause no good at all"

Why?

We follow the facts and truth.

And it is clear, just like the lies of Russiagate, Ukrainegate, the smearing of Brett M. Kavanaugh with utterly dishonest rape claims, this is yet another bunch of lies perpetrated by the LEFT.

Oooooooooh, the dark side.

Perhaps you should be worried Poikka!

LOL

[minerve 2] 07/1/2021 14:24

Who cares?

Straw man argument.

[mr.elbee] 07/1/2021 14:24

Poikka you are so annoying I have filtered you..a pity because you once did have a brain but you are now eaten up by the Dark Side... Bye Bye!

Bad what happened in America but any idea how many businesses were robbed and burnt down like another protest that happened few months ago

[joestalin] 07/1/2021 14:07

You will have to forgive him as he has cancer, and is lashing out at everyone else.

[joestalin] 07/1/2021 13:57

Any self respecting remoaner would be squealing "VOTE AGAIN!!!!!"

[poikka] 07/1/2021 13:51

Me - "The idea that the Democrats are capable of cheating at elections, but not the Trump supporters, is completely risible."

Cheshire - "You are wrong. It is a matter of historical record that the Democrats won the 1960 election by fraud.."

I'm not aware that that was the case, but even if it was my comment has not been proven to be false; so actually - you are wrong.

[joestalin] 07/1/2021 13:47

Carney is a Canadian, which is still 'Commonwealth personnel'. He got the job because of the pro-EU Cameron government.

We do need a Brit in charge, though.

[maxk] 07/1/2021 13:45

I think it's also a warning to Doris .. dont try to pull a fast one.

[utrickytrees] 07/1/2021 13:33

Isnt it refreshing to be rid a Carney, & have English/ Commonwealth personnel at the BoE suddenly everything seems to be falling into place.

Britain must not be forced to take EU rules on finance, warns Bailey

It is important to keep control of the rules governing the vital industry, the Governor of the Bank of England told MPs

Britain must not become a “rule-taker” of Brussels’ mandates on financial services in the next stage of Brexit talks, as it is key to retain control of regulations governing the vital industry, according to Andrew Bailey.

The Governor of the Bank of England said the UK must be able to make its own rules for the City, even if it means EU authorities refusing to allow access to markets across the Channel.

If the UK agreed to take EU rules, it would be bound to follow Brussels’ decisions even when regulators in London thought they were unsuitable for British banks, or even threatened financial stability.

British officials are keen to change the Solvency 2 rules governing the insurance sector, for example, and reject some EU decisions to count IT systems towards banks’ capital buffers.

It is important that Britain is allowed to make these changes without being cut off from EU markets, Mr Bailey said, but if the EU insisted the UK follows its rules then it was worth losing out on access based on "equivalence" decisions in Brussels.


“I would strongly recommend that we do not become a rule-taker. I think that is a very bad place to end up,” he told MPs on the Treasury select committee.

“If the price of that is no equivalence, then I’m afraid that will follow. That is the wrong outcome for the UK, but if that is where it goes. I am strongly opposed to rule-taking.”

EU officials have only granted the UK equivalence status in central clearing for 18 months and securities settlement for six months. By contrast the UK has granted EU firms equivalence in 17 areas, allowing much more open trade.

But if Brussels expects Britain to accept its rules in exchange for access, Mr Bailey would turn them down.

Sam Woods, a Deputy Governor, said the UK is unlikely to end up in such a bind.

“I don't think we are on that rule-taker path at all,” he said.

“There is an absolute recognition that both sides need to evolve their rules and will do so in their own way. If you had to be a rule-taker to get equivalence, you would be crazy to do that deal.”

Anil Kashyap, a member of the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee, said the EU and UK both aimed to follow global rules on finance, even if they implement them in different ways, which meant “it is not like the EU can hold the UK hostage”.
