Agreed; not finding any humor in open insurrection and treason.

The same shit is going on in Portland as it was almost all of last year, I don't recall anyone calling that an insurrection and treason. In fact i appeared a lot of people were encouraging it

Pathetic attempting to equate that stupidity in Portland with an armed crowd storming the US Capitol directed there by the President, the law & order president, to block the electoral votes from being processed. This is a direct attack on this country's democracy.

Stupidity was taking place all over this country last year. Tough nuggies......

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Yet nobody saw this coming?

You are apparently out of touch - much of DC was closed and boarded up. And, then when the police called for help, it was denied.

Storming the steps and kicking in doors. Then maybe it's a good start. Our country always seems to be reactive. why change now to proactive

So you are advocating anarchy now, too?

Who denied the help? Who boarded it up? private owners' or the government?

[robert.]

Not one Philadelphia news channel mentioned DC. Businesses boarding up there store fronts. You can go back to my statement of" being proactive not reactive". Pa. NJ. MD. and Virginia are now sending police to DC. That could have been done a day or 2 ago.
Anarchy No. Change for the good of the people yes. Everyone should be tired of the same old same old.

[HONDO74]

I do remember last year when Trump brought in the fed to quell the anarchy in DC What happened then

This will all blow over in a couple of days. Then the country can get back to the real protesting, rioting, looting and burning down police stations and businesses.

Oh, he's nowhere near exiting as low-class as possible yet.

Who will he pardon next?

Will he resign ahead of the expected date and get his vp to pardon him for the crimes he's committed recently ?

The drama continues.

I just hope he doesn't refuse to leave the White House and have to be removed , which would appeal to his egotistical view of himself as The Victim who hasn't been adored sufficiently.

He's living proof money does not bestow Class.

And P.S. As I have suggested all along , the hair-do has been the clue, all along, that something was terribly wrong underneath it.

This thread was working just fine until someone brought politics into it....

This coming from someone that can’t figure out how to eat blueberries

That would be Murph back on page 2 who likes to drop a turd in the punch bowl with all his infinite wisdom. When in reality he doesn’t have enough sense to pour piss out of a boot with directions on the bottom.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Well, that hurt, so I'll try to clean-up my presentation or simply absent myself.

[rogruth]

This may be a ramble of some kind. Right now it has no direction. I don't know where it will go. A true ramble. Nothing important.

I have always had faith in our form of government and have never nor do I now want to change it. My first presidential vote was when I became 21, the required age at that time, and I have voted in every election, national, state and local, since. I have never been a party voter. My grandfather, who helped raise me, taught me to vote for the person. Have won some and lost some but have survived them all. None were perfect. Some better than others, The reference is to politicians in general not just presidents. It has not always been easy but I and many others have survived. I hope to make it a few more years. I have been really amazed at the division that has taken place in our country. No, it didn't sneak up and pounce on me. I realized things were getting weird. I just didn't realize that changes were happening so fast.
We have grandchildren that have decided we are their enemy yet they don't know what we think about anything or have ever talked with us about their views. My son refuses to talk with one of his sons, one of my grandsons of course, because political matters are always brought up by his son. When your son accuses you of being a murderer and killer it becomes difficult. There is no attempt by him or his group of friends to try any course of discussion other than confrontation, I see this everywhere between young and old, black and white, immigrants and citizens ( not the best word choice ), different religious factions/sects. If we are not attacked by other countries we are now warring amongst ourselves. Anarchy may occur if the Congress, administration and general population are not very careful. I am worried. A larger problem could also be some form of insurrection. We may have seen a bit of that today.

Remember that a ramble is a way to ease some tensions in the rambler. No answer or comments to the above is needed but if anyone wants to help me see my errors you are welcome to comment. I may or may not answer. This is also a way to have some FUN.

[rogruth]

Stay with us Murph. It can still work and be good fun,

[up148]

Well, as usual, politics is turning a friendly thread ugly.

But stealing the election isn't a attack on democracy.

[rogruth]

I haven't seen any proof from anybody on either side that an election was stolen.

If some of you want to inundate a model train forum with conspiracy theory stuff go right ahead.
I will not comment further along these lines. I'm sure there are forums that thrive on this stuff.
MTJ should not be one of them.I do not think conversations of this nature should be banned but
I don't want MTJ to turn into a political battleground.
