The said podcaster tells his story on the Joe rogan experience if you further wish to educate yourself on the issue.

Joe Rogan isn't a good place to get educated these days.

His interview with Leah Rimini definitely was. I would even consider it (the interview) a public service given that that sort of information doesn't always trickle down as far as that level of education. I did regret watching it on youtube without private browsing because of what happened to my recommendations but it was definitely educational.

I haven't seen any only biko on this thread and there isn't a single sighting on the Donald Trump thread.

If you are willing to prove me wrong (which you all enjoy so much) and direct me to these Republicans you speak of I would be exremely grateful but I think you will struggle to do so.

You want me to posters by political persuasions? No chance.

Maybe you should just read every post in the context of the topic being discussed and if you agree with the post, thank it or quote it and add to it, or if you disagree with it, quote it and say why it is you disagree with what they said.

If you can't identify the 'likely' persuasion of people once you have spent some time here, then I don't know what to tell you.

Pity you were around 6 months ago. No shortage of people at that point who were talking up Donald which give an indication as to their allegiance. Pity they all stopped posting soon after the election however, although many of them are busy on other areas of the forum. You'll find some of them in discussions on multiculturalism and what seems like the weekly edition of the 'feminists make me so mad' threads.

Joking aside, AOC better take common sense security measures when going about her daily business. Nothing too dramatic, but she should never be in public somewhere on her own.

Might sound dramatic, but 4 months ago, the Capitol was overrun with people looking for elected representatives to vent their frustration and you wouldn't have to go too far to find someone keen to brag on Parler that they thought AOC a thing or two.

A bipartisan deal has been introduced on a commission that will have a similar framework to the 9/11 commission that will investigate the insurrection at the US capitol, it will have subpoena authority. However it must still pass vote.

A group of House Democrats and Republicans announced Friday that they had struck a deal to establish an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a significant breakthrough after months of partisan standoff over the mandate for such a panel — and whether it should exist at all.

The proposed 10-member commission, which emulates the panel that investigated the causes and lessons of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, would be vested with subpoena authority and charged with studying the events and run-up to Jan. 6 — with a focus on why an estimated 10,000 supporters of former president Donald Trump swarmed the Capitol grounds and, more important, what factors instigated about 800 of them to break inside. Trump’s critics in both political parties view it as a means to bring further public scrutiny to his role in inspiring the violence.

“There has been a growing consensus that the January 6th attack is of a complexity and national significance that what we need [is] an independent commission to investigate,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, announcing that he had reached agreement with the panel’s top Republican, Rep. John Katko (N.Y.). “The creation of this commission is our way of taking responsibility for protecting the U.S. Capitol.”

In the bipartisan deal announced Friday, five members would be appointed by the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, while the other five would appointed by their Republican counterparts. In a departure from Pelosi’s earlier proposal, President Biden would not have a say in appointing any commissioners.

The commission would have the power to subpoena witnesses, but not without an agreement between the Democrat-appointed chair and the Republican-appointed vice chair, or a majority vote of the panel. Current government officials, including those holding elective office, would not be allowed to serve on the panel, to maintain its independence.

The commission would be tasked with producing a final report detailing its findings, as well as any recommendations for preventing similar attacks in the future, by the end of this year, giving it only about six months to complete its work — if Congress approves the commission in short. By comparison, the 9/11 Commission took 20 months to publish its findings.

These Republicans are very strange people. Sleep deprivation is now a virtue and a sign of strength in their eyes and getting a decent night's sleep is somehow a sign of weakness. Very bizarre beliefs.

You can be sure she has a larger than average detail from the capital police. She definitely hasn’t opened a letter in years.

She’s an extremely intelligent woman who would be on a fast track to leadership in any European country. She’ll only ever be a fringe bogeywoman in the US. She’s painted as some sort of wild extremist for relatively moderate opinions.

Delusions of mediocrity is more likely.


So, remind me. Daily mail articles misrepresenting police behavior with regard to some podcaster has what to do with Joe Biden? Does he run the CHP now as well as the Daily mail?

And, AOC's no more important in the functioning of the USG as she's just a congresswoman, than MTG. Does Biden run them, too?

She takes every given opportunity to make others look bad and not just Republicans. Her eyes are firmly fixed on the top prize and she'll do anything to get there. She's not a nice person.

Where did you get that she isn't a nice person? I get that she is clearly focused and has her views, but how is that any different than pretty much every politician or successful business person?

SHe doesn't make others look bad; their actions and duplicity make them look bad, she just happens to be willing to call them out on it.

She wants things to get better, she doesn't accept the status quo is working and wants it to change.

This is a truly bizarre take considering she calls out people who dig holes for themselves.

I honestly don't get the hatred towards AOC. It's genuinely baffling to me considering the actual hateful bastards that are in the House and the Senate.

It's even more baffling considering she is the perfect representation of the so-called "American dream". The reality is that it's just a meaningless abstract concept and a lot of Americans don't like seeing others do better than themselves.

She actually comes across as one of the few politicians who actually care about people and their struggles.

So she 'basically' didn't call her that like you said. In fact, she specifically said she wasn't calling her that.

Either way, AOC having a problem with Pelosi is a weird hill to die on to try and convince people that she's this really despicable person when there are actual hateful people in the House and Senate.

Hate her all you want but I really think your anger is misdirected and you're falling for the nonsense that is thrown at her.

This is just a load of rambling nonsense.

You say she has no beliefs? How did she manage to beat a 20-year incumbent who had the backing of the New York governor?

Again, just the usual ridiculous sh*te soundbites that are rolled out just to discredit people. You don't beat a 20-year incumbent from within your own party for having no beliefs.

If you actually think she has no beliefs or is just 'an outrage politician that hops on the twitter outrage' then you haven't a clue about her at all.

Do yourself a favour. Do some reading and actually educate yourself instead of reading what Bob on Facebook says.

Nonsense. The 690 legislative pieces sponsored or co-sponsored by her show exactly what her beliefs are.

You’re just too busy getting your “news” and information from tweets to see what’s actually going on.
