@kewpie saidWe will soon find out if it is me that has been had, or the MSM shielding the story.
Google can't find parlay as a webpage. Parley is an eco site. I'll stick to the sources I listed, thanks.
The Reuter site has a fact check on the story, very detailed, which shows that it was a fake Parler account.
Either it's going to be an interesting countdown to the 20th Jan, which clearly I don't think is going to happen.
I'll come back and post on 20th so that everyone can throw pelters at me, so start saving your pelters up. :-)
@divegeester saidHear, hear! And after him, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, and Rutte. Ah, ça ira!
The only bad thing which absolutely must not happen to Trump is assassination. It will turn him into a martyr.
He must however be dragged through Congress and the courts to face any and all legitimate charges against him.

@shavixmir saidJust this year, a Merkin "diplomat"'s wife murdered an innocent English man through drunk driving. She got off scott free.
A bit like diplomatic immunity or job protection when doing union work, etc.
Lovely, lovely diplomatic immunity.
I say, string them up. Every single one.
The post that was quoted here has been removedYes. So?
Various elements of the nazi top were put on trial and punished as well. And I don’t disagree with that at all.
What I am saying is that generally speaking putting politicians on trial for political matters isn’t good for the democracy of a country.

@shallow-blue saidA nasty case.
Just this year, a Merkin "diplomat"'s wife murdered an innocent English man through drunk driving. She got off scott free.

And border-line abuse of diplomatic immunity.
What should have happened is that a court case is held with US observers present. And if they concur that law was observed (that the case was proper, without political bias, objective, etc.) then the diplomat’s wife could have been found guilty.
She then could do her sentence in a mutually agreed country.
The system is in place to protect officials from being unjustly tried and bullied, not to allow them to get away with murder.
@shavixmir saidGenerally speaking, no. But inciting a murderous riot inside your own parliament - let's be honest, so close to an attempted coup as to make no difference - is not merely a political matter. It is treason.
