    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    And?

    Did you listen to it?

    Please give me a review, what is so noteworthy here that it deserves this thread you have given it?
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    What I mostly got is that the CCP dictates every aspect of its citizens' lives and there is very little upward mobility for the masses.

    They suppress all unwanted info and practices and will put you in a gulag or kill you for deviating.

    For China's Covid lockdown? They sealed the doors to the apartment buildings.

    Hopefully there is something in their about the leadership making sure that they have the broad consent of the people, and how everyone is pulling together for the glory of the Empire, about how personal wants and needs are partly put on pause for the glory of China.

    That's the wrong thing to say there.
    I take it the operative word is "was".

    There's no "broad consent of the people". They may not know any better, but they all have the jackboot of Big Gov on their necks.
    My head is nowhere near in the sand.

    It is a twisted relationship between power and the people but the people consent, and in return power promises to be responsible in their use of power and to do with it what has been agreed, reestablish the glory of the Empire after many years in the wilderness.
