Aus den USA erreichen uns derzeit (und das ist understatement) „beunruhigende Nachrichten“.
Vier Leute starben aufgrund von Protesten gegen die Bestätigung des neuen Präsidenten – eine Frau wurde von der Polizei angeschossen und starb an ihren Verletzungen, drei weitere Menschen starben aufgrund „medizinischer Notfälle“. Es wurden zwei Bomben entschärft und Rohrbomben in einem Auto gefunden. Vierzehn Polizisten wurden verletzt, zwei schwer (wenn jemand schwer verletzt wird, heißt das, er muss ins Krankenhaus, eine einfache Schürfwunde reicht da nicht aus) – und von den beiden wurde der eine noch in die Demonstrantenmenge gezogen und weiter angegriffen!
Zustände wie in einer Bananenrepublik – die Partei hinter Trump sollte sich jetzt in Bananenrepublikaner umbenennen. Immerhin hat sich die gestern abgewählte Georgia-Senatorin, Frau Loeffler, von Trump distanziert, indem sie nun nicht mehr die Bestätigung Bidens blockierte. Von Ted Cruz aus Texas hat man das noch nicht gehört. Für mich heißt das, er heißt diese Art von Verhalten gut! Und damit macht er sich zumindest moralisch schuldig.
Einige Leute sprechen von Terrorismus – mit Bomben, bewaffneten Angriffen aufs Kapitol – ja, klar sind das Terroristen! Und was macht die Polizei? Eskortiert sie friedlich aus dem Haus. Waren ja keine Leute mit dunkler Hautfarbe.
Armes Amerika.
I do not watch the news so you know more than I do. I am glad Trump is leaving because he is somewhat of an embarrassment for America but I do fear that Biden has dementia.
Biden will be judged by doctors, if he shows signs of dementia. He is 78 years old – he is probably not even making it to the end of this presidency. But you have a very intelligent, determined and not at all leftist Vicepresident, a young-ish woman who studied the laws, who worked in law and order, who will be good president, should it come to that. I would not worry about Biden falling short. I still hope he can reach the end of his presidency and deliberately will not pursue reelection – by then he will be 82 …
Once upon a time I thought, there could be no president more laugable than George W Bush – you know the president who held the children book the wrong way around on TV … Well, the man is a wise man compared to Trump. He said:
he was appalled by the “reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election.” Let that sink in. The president who was most ridiculed for his seeming lack of intelligence is quite clearly seeing to the basis of these scenes from yesterday. Kudos to him.
I hope there are more people like him in the Republican Party and less like Ted Cruz … Even Ms Loeffler, who was defeated the day before by Warnock, had finally the grace to say, she does not object to the election results! Not so Ted Cruz. People have died, police officers have been (severely) hurt, the Senate chamber has been broken into, the House was „desecrated“ – and he still did not have the balls to distance himself from Trump … Cruz is part of the future problem for the Republicans.
I found it hard to believe four years ago and again this election that out of 300 million people we could not come up with a decent candidate for president. I was not a big fan of George Bush but I did believe he had good intentions, which is very important. I also read he is now close friends with Michelle Obama.
Yes, George Bush was a rather innocent child compared to the brat, that’s now occupying the WH.
Genau.
And this morning news came tgat the cop that was severely hurt has died. A good life wasted because a pathological liar cannot fathom truth.
That’s sad.
This kind of behavior is also happening at the state level, even in my own state. The next few days will be very interesting.
