I made a resolution to stay away from political news going into the new year. Needless to say, I didn't hold-out terribly long after the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. I'm now curious to know what the Election Board or Political Talk board looked like just as the "riot" unfolded last Wednesday afternoon. Can anyone link the best thread covering the play-by-play of the incident?

The woman that was shot has aged 19 years since this board (actually the election board) was as convinced she was 16 as they are of election fraud. They were as right in both cases....

The problem is the banks are going to band together to try and put him out of business

They have already banded together....banks are prone to not loan folks money who do not pay loans back. Trump has done it so often few if any banks in the world will loan him any money. The sinister bastards...imagine the arrogance of expecting a man to pay back money when you loan it to him.

They gonna try to destroy the trump brand.

If by they you mean the brands namesake then of course you'd almost be right....he isn't trying to destroy the brand he done did it....

Yes you should lol. WTF else would you do with them? We need way more capital punishment for people who commit unforgivable crimes and no more of this “moral” injection shite either. A hanging is just as humane. My only reservations would be convicting an innocent but to be honest forensic technology is so advanced these days that you can’t really screw someone over through eyewitness testimony anymore.

---

The hell you can't...if the state is footing the bill for their defense and their prosecution and the revenue is based on their conviction rate it is entirely possible to convict an innocent person based on snitches and eye witness testimony even when the state possesses forensic evidence PROVING the accused is not guilty. Once convicted that person is then charged with overcoming the prejudice Judges who are also part of the prosecuting economy and juries who automatically assume the system works most of the time and the accused must be guilty.

The fact that many people have been exonerated of the capital crimes they were convicted of is all that is needed to know the system is seriously flawed and should be stopped immediately.

And at what point do we start killing the mentally ill??? When they first suffer from the trauma that drives many of them insane? In this case the woman would have been executed at the age of 4.....a society is judged by the way it treats the least capable among us to defend themselves.

we have a state in between us and Alabama

if you had one between you and Texas it would almost be heaven on earth.

I have only lived in Louisiana for one summer when I was a kid but I have spent considerable time in the state and it seems like it would be about as good a place to live as any. People are nice, food is great, culture is interesting, hunting and fishing is as good as it gets. I know nothing of the economy but I do know the state is considered poor but that is not uncommon in the south outside of metro areas. I may be wrong but I think I'd be happy living in Louisiana.

In my experience DU does some good things but the amount of money raised compared to the amount they spend in preserving habitat is akin to most charities.

I do take issue with their take on lobbying for more public land being accessible to hunting. Again, in my experience, they do almost nothing on this front and even though many of their projects are open to hunting they are heavily regulated and provide even more suitable habitat for loafing and resting and feeding which allows birds to only be hunted when DU sees fit. MANY of their "projects" are on private land and the only hunting allowed is by the landowner and of course DU executives....the projects that allow public hunting are FAR less attractive than these "private" projects and are usually marginal habitat to begin with.

Outside of that it is fun to go to a banquet with real duck hunters if you can find one. Most banquets are attended by people who think duck hunting consists of paying someone to take them, place them in a comfortable blind, set the decoys, do the calling, even do most of the shooting for them, all so they can take pictures and brag to their buddies back at the lodge. Nothing wrong with any of that but it is only duck hunting in the smallest possible way. If, however, you live in an area where folks do all of this on their own a banquet is very enjoyable.

america right now is almost a mirror image of 1930s germany

---

It ain't even close. Just the fact that the United States isn't 15 years removed from being routed in a war we started by attacking a neighbor in a fit of nationalist fervor for expansion and told by the victors in that same war that we broke it now we had to pay for it makes the analogy fatally flawed.

There are some things about the US today which were true in Germany in the 1930's. For years leading up to the Fascist takeover in Germany the German right had fought against leftist policies in Germany which created the most progressive nation on earth at the time and an economic powerhouse the likes of which had rarely been seen. When the bill for WW1 was presented to Germany for their arrogance and nationalism the people of Germany saw the progress they had made for years prior to WW1 stripped from them and were open to the idea that "those other people" were making victims of them. They were open to lies and disinformation because they had enjoyed a very progressive lifestyle in their lifetimes and were no longer....since there was no way they could be responsible for this themselves they came to the conclusion it was "them" who had caused all of the problems.

We are in the same boat in the US. White people in this country enjoyed a helluva ride in the era between the end of WW2 and the mid 60's. Then we decided it would be a good idea to send working class sons to SE Asia and wage a police action we were never committed to winning. We also engaged in a cold war with Russia at this time out of necessity. As we did these things the rest of the world began to recover from WW2, mostly on our dime...we rebuilt German and Japanese manufacturing and kept the world safe for their shipping their products all over the globe....but we forgot that American workers existed at all. In the 1980s we bought a bill of goods which has always been well known to be based in a fallacy but we wanted to believe in some economic miracle which would slow the decline of the working class in the US. When it became blatantly obvious the miracle many knew would never materialize was not going to materialize we started looking for answers and the worst among us blamed "them"...immigrants, minorities....when in fact it was our buying into trickle down economics, allowing US companies to save money which was invested overseas while we increase military spending to mitigate the risk of doing so. Meanwhile US workers were, accustomed to a steady income sufficient to live a damned fine life, felt the economic pinch which required 2 incomes...leading to all manner of ill shite socially. We the people then fell into the trap of cheap money and got ourselves into financial slavery to live the American dream. When this idiocy crashed we blamed "them" and a leader emerged who would indeed tell us it was "them" and not our own greed and ignorance.

The only correlation between the rise of Hitler and Trump that is similar is a population accustomed to living well suddenly finding themselves not doing so as easily and a charismatic leader coming along and blaming it on "them".

you racist piece of shite

"Take a look at the riots yesterday and there is no doubt black people are losing their mind."


You are too stupid to even realize what you say.

Equating riots due to the state executing people with no due process and a failed coup attempt to overthrow the United States Government based on unfounded fears and lies is indicative of the very insanity which many of you suffer from. Seriously....the end is not nigh....life is good. There is a lot of stress and worry but even someone who has lost everything because unfounded COVID fears destroyed their life's work has a better life today in the US than king's dreamed of 100 years ago. I know none of you will change your mind but you are only harming yourselves....

CFB is a regional pastime. I suspect COVID season has as much to do with the game not being as interesting to people as last years game was but CFB did everything it could to get a BIG 10 team in the playoff along with ND in an attempt to attract audiences in the midwest (big 10) and a national audience with ND. Anyone who watched CFB this year and is honest knew that 3 teams in the SEC not named Bama and Oklahoma was as good as Clemson and would have beaten Ohio State 7 of 10 times if plated on a neutral field.

Last seasons CFCG was the most watched ever because a team not named Clemson, Alabama or Ohio State was in it. Between entire swaths of the US not having any interest whatsoever in CFB and the same teams being at the top with an outsider breaking in like LSU last year only rarely CFB has become a regional game and is quickly losing the luster it had just a short time ago.

Of the 3 teams at the top mentioned above Ohio State has no business in the top....they play no one all season, as does Oklahoma, and gets wacked in the playoffs, normally the first round. Clemson is there because of their proximity to the wealth of recruiting in Georgia and Florida and close enough to the SEC to make inroads into Louisiana, also a recruiting hotbed. They also play no one all season and have been able to win a couple of natty's by being good and not having been beaten up by a brutal schedule.

The only widespread interest in the US for CFB is in the SE and no one can compete with Alabama, making even the fanaticism in the SE less than it would be otherwise. I dont think there is anything that can be done....

A court would do so if the Trump team could produce a legally coherent case....they can't because there is no such case and therefore the courts won't hear more than a bumper stickers worth of rhetoric....
