That's great information.

You have to wonder, though... What was their objective? Their REAL objective?

Trump has said time and time again, he desavows those groups, or such groups.

So they were not acting to help Trump, but themselves and just be violent for some venting. Otherwise they did Trump a huuuuge diservice, wouldn't you agree??

@Lazarus Knows

"Reliable source"... even you have to accept there is no such thing. You know every media out there is on one side or the other. There is no objective media anymore.

What I do is try to listen and what the whole unendited hearings and speeches and events as much as possible and mute the commentaries and opinions of so called "journalists", who do not exist anymore, at least regarding to this issue of Trump.

@Jsapc

So you label as racist anyone with an opinion different than yours? That is ... racist!! It is actualy not. It's bigoted, childish and lazy.

Where's the tolerance? so you tolerate a middle eastern relligious man who believes his God hates sexual sins, and orders females to a certain status, or a Death Goddess(la Muerte) beliving latino immigrant? but not someone who actually believes his voting rights were trampled by a full blown high tech, mass media, voter irregularities front? and a justice system deaf and callous enough to skip launching real law backed investigations based on extensive, if circumstancial or testimonial, evidence, precisely because it is just circumstancial or testimonial! It is like, Ok we haven't found the smoking gun, but there's pelnty of smoke so let's investigate, and they said no beause it's just smoke... that's why you have suspicions and that's why you launch deep investigations.

Oh, now BLM cries. Where were their cries when black people business and livelihoods were burnt to the ground in those cities riots??

Think straight for a minute. Trump's speech was at the WH, some 40 minute walt to the Capitol. There were no cars or transportation allowed in the vicinity so people who listened to the speech needed to cover that span walking. The speech finished at about 1:12PM, which is after the attack on Capitol Hill started.

Where's the logic on that.

Where they watching the speech just before attacking? Give me a break.

On the ground reporters at the time of the attack have said there was no signal reception for minutes before and after the attack. A good move by security if it was that.

Also, don't trip yourself into conspiracy theory land... "a failed coup" was not.

The attack on the Capitol serves Trump NO purpose at all. It never would have, it never did. He didn't ask for physical violence and a takeover. It would we naive to think that. A mob overtaking the goverment? even if you exaggerate to say it was a small militia... will they be succesfful in taking the goverment? then what? oblitarated by the Guard an Military. It's a completly absurd plan at that.

The people that did storm the Capitol had no objective other than be disruptive and perhaps rough some feathers of some senators, but those were few and seemingly had no tacticality, thankfully. They were not there to take the goverment by force, for sure (perhaps in their dreams, but not realistically)!

What the Preseident as calling for is to make their voices heard "as hell" so that the senators and representaives would have the courage or push to protest the ellectoral votes. THAT'S IT.

BLM has equally in his website claimed to aim at the "destruction of the nuclear family", "destruction of America", don't know if it still does.

Stop the over use of the "there was no fraud, move on", did democrats, Biden, Pelosi or other ever stopped calling Trump illegitimate President? who robebd and hijaked the 2016 election? Local hearings didn't just say "it was a fair election" they acknowledged some or several irregularities took place, but 1) failed to invistagate their extent (how many actual votes were affected by each airregularity) and 2) failed to invistaigate the origin, motiviation etc behind those, and still just claimed their existance didn't amount to much as to overturn an election, therefore nothing to be done. Most courts did the same, as Trump lawyers can only present as much evidence as volutariy, publicly available as possible. To prove and persecute large scale fraud, guess what? a full scale law enforcement lead investigation is needed! which is what was and has been denied. Therefore people whose strive to have that investigation at least reveal the truth in numbers, are rightfully angry. Trump even said he would concede defeat if teh numbers were ratified against real people and real signatures on the ballot envelopes (oin the case of mail-in) so if a full scale deep investigation and ratified re-count had been done and say Biden were 78 million and trump 76 million, then that would have been the end of it. But the courts and hearings only just said we con't bother to go that far, just move on. Even considerering the unconstitutional changes to the electoral law in several states!

This is the basis for the anger and claiming of a rigged election: the outright denial of the establishment to actually certifiy one person-one vote against real people and their signatures in an open way and carefully and deeply pursuing evry irregularity that took place.

All of that was just looked at, evaluated as events in isolation and deemed irrelevant. Which misses the point and only engendered more frustration and impatience. It is what policy brutality is to BLM... the cause of anger and rage.

Get it now? Not that we should endulge in rage and anger, though.

What are you so afraid of? A virus that may kill you. Guess what, there are several other things out there that can kill you on a regular and random basis as well. Smoking-check. Passive smoking-check. Bad eating habits(lots of sugars and bad fats)-check. Molds and fungus-check. Cancer-check. Car crash-check.

The data of new infections and deaths needs to be detailed: what ages of people are getting infected? what types of people (travel a lot, work at office, stay at home study , sudy abroad, having other health issues/risks... etc, etc) and of those WHO exactly is dying and why/how?? Without this data the numbers are just for the purpose of panic creation and driving people to blindly comply.

Still few scientific data is provided and referenced as to the actual non-symptomatic transmission, the form and manner of most contagions(difficult to gauge I know, but still needs researching) .

I do not know the final solution, but prudency, plentyful detailed complete and broad spectrum (not just fitting one narrative) information and data made readily available and public will lead to educated people making wise informe decisions. Just keep playing the panic and fear card will only grow people more and more tired of specially, specially since for "pandemic" the numbers are pretty mild. Over hygienitizing only contributes to weakening your immune system, increased levels of stress for the economy, work, or confinement at home, also weakens you, not to mention the emotional and psychologial downfalls that many experiment, and the increaingly high levels of suicide and domestic violence that has been linked to lockdowns everywhere, including Japan. Stop the panic and fear, educate, make all data and all research (ALL, not just what fits a narrative) and then you will see things get better, and people come up with better solutions.

Although a call for reason will fall on deaf ears, as it did in the House, I call for reason and logic.

I have said it before but I am not American nor have or want to live in the USA.

I long derided the intervensionism and meddling og USA in foreign nations affairs, albeit their military might does have put an end to alleged criminal dictators, although the legality of it is always fuzzy.

As with any other president I listened and watched President Trump for afar, and time and time again adhere to his word and convictions and plan and deliver what he promised and seeing the IRRATIONAL, BIASED, BIGOTED reactions of the mass media, and oppositors.

So, to the issue at hand.

First of all, he did not call for insurrection, riots and the taking of the house by his supporters. Even if you overthink his speech as incendiary, which is not, he was just telling people to protest, as the left continuously and tirelessly does with their antifa and BLM mobs, and more importantly it SERVES HIM no purpose if he actually had wanted or incited that to happen, it led to nothing, it would have lead to nothing, and it has lead to this now. So it would have been completly assine to ask a bunch of followers to cause chaos in the counting of the votes, WHILE being counted, when it is the time where senators and representatives whe going to protest those ellectoral votes!! It is precisely for this that Trump asked people to show up an protest, to PRESSURE the senators and represenatives to NOT ratify the result. The chaos that unfolded actually served for the exact OPPOSITE purpose and senators and representatives felt more strongly to ratify the election. THEREFORE it is idiotic to think that this is what he wanted and incited. He just asked for people to show up and make their inconformity heard. THAT´s ALL.

Now, the inconformity is REAL. The might not be a smoking gun being found, but there was and is enough smoke to have clear suspicion that the election was rigged. You can dismissed them without a care, as you have and would, but that is just caprice and bias. There is video evidence, dead people's names, more ballots than registered voters, question ridden machines, etc... does that amount to some 6 million votes or so that are the alleged difference?? that's ultimately the question and the issue that the doubters would have liked SOLVED, not just IGNORED.

And finally spare the holier that thou attitude. Speaker Pelosi and her commarades tweeting and speakinf endelssly of rigged and hijaked elections in 2016, Clinton saying to Biden to not concede under ANY circumstances even before the election, the downpalying of destructive, violent riots and mobs in Portland, Minnesota, Kenosha, etc... but now now. Pelosi applauding the storming of the Hong Kong Capitol by protesters... what double-standard baziness and charlatanery.

The reality is, YOU, with the bigotry, knee-jerk reactions, the bullyng, the bias, the cancelling, have DIVIDED the country, ostricizing half of it, and there is legitimate reason for that half of the country to feel rage and fight back at you. But contrary to you, they were not incited by their leader. Certainly video and photographic evidence shows some supporters partcipated in the trashing but also some BLM and antifa, and don't come saying is not true, there is evidence. The police did open the barricades, and security experts have come forward to say it is unthinkable for such security breach to happen, and have put serious doubts on what kind of security was in place.

What you should be striving for is the TRUTH in all issues that remain. Only the truth will unite the country again. Truth with COMPLETE UNEDITED evidence, for the election issues, for the Biden Ukraine-China corruption, for the Capitol attack, etc. Clear, open truth.

@cracaphat

So Biden is not Pathtic at all?? with his senile speech and slow motion, his myriad of gaffes and unhinged escaping answers when confronted with hard questions. 0 results to his name in 47 years in politics, 2 times shamed out of presidential races by its own party AND the media, curently under investigation in Ukraine.

What unwordly wisdom made anyone feel it was better to have him in the WH than results-getter, primised kept Trump is as pathetic as it gets.

Are we eally afraid of this virus that we need to feel "safe" by being someplace in the world rather than in another. I feel safer here than my home country because of the low crime rates and economic and political stability, alas precisely Covid-19 has rattled things up even in those areas, but that is just worldwide.

Against a virus I feel safer not by the country or goverment, but by the actions and precautions I take. Specially my health.

The real problem is you, the Press. Report the facts without trying to convey a story. You always seem hellbent on controlling the narrative and guiding which conclusions should be infered from the "facts" you report. I always thought you report the facts, intelligent people reding reach their conclusions. Your choice of words, inuendo, over quoting of one side of the story, defaulting to esteriotype the other side... etc. etc... it's revolting, nauseating and appalling. And unprofessional. And it goes both ways, press on the other side does kinda the same thing. True observers like me are left not really knowing where is the truth. Both sides tell their narratives well. As a non-american, non-partisan, apolitical, Japaese living foreigner this is what I see:

A left side hellbent (I explain shortly why I reach the hellbent conclusion) on having a senile president and a progressive VP, ONLY out of spite of haing lost to an outsopken business man who doesn't play politics. Their narrative after the election is as there is no evidence of fraud just deal with the losing. This is where I see the "hellbent", as a foreigner looking in is quite obvious to me for 4 years or so the mass media relentless attack on the President, the lies and the doctoring of statements, the lack of coverage fof achievements and so on. Never giving an inch or recannting on any of the lies the egt caught on (the Kentucky kids come to mind, the President denouncing racisim plenty of times, the "good people on both sides" defamation, etc, etc) and exploiting to the fulelst any tiny mistake or flamable bit. All the whilst covering and actively ignoring and sidesteping the same or worse things from Biden, calling troops stupid, wanting to build a border wall himself when he was a senator, the rage bursts when he is pushed on any issue he doesn't like, the perverted cringe-wrothy touching, sniffing of young girls and ladies on American citizenship ceremonies in front of cameras, the mental lapses, the China and Russia collusion very possible issues, etc. etc.) That is the definition of "no matter what" . You defenders of this guy may claim the right siders have drunk Trump's kool-aid, but you have drunk yours for so long you die at the smallest sip of clean water.

On the other side a right side interested in keeping American values intact, empowering ALL peoples in the American espectrum, trough industry and hard work and national interest at the front. And seeing thousands of irregulaties in many vote locations, I mean you have sen the videos, right? ballot watchers blocked from doing their jobs, etc. the creator of the Dominion software company openly declaring his software can overturn any number of votes no problem, a software used in Venezuela, Argentina... such bastions of democracy, and on and on, surely they can smell dead fish. But prove fraud. Perhaps not. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't try... wouldn't we all do the same if we smelled teh same stench of dead fish??

So... reporters... do your JOB: interview people on all sides left, right and in between and follos the evidence left, right and in-between and publish those results as is.

We will be able to determine where the truth lies by ourselves. Don't tell me what to conclude.

At this stage I know it probably doesn't really matter, but get your facts straight.

By this time, after 4 years of media extreme bias you should know better than just believe what one source tells you. Specially the Mass media ones.

Remember the Covington kids case? fabrications.

And so many others.

Don't you think is odd that exactly what you ALL wrote here in comments is what come conservtive people would think and say of most leftist people? Exact same words just changing the color from and to.

Now I don't KNOW the facts of THIS particular case, I read what this article say. I have to doubt it is the whole truth, if any truth in it. That is all I am saying.

And that just REACTING by name calling and such is not productive, nor benefiting to anyone, but to the divide.

So you have just contributed to the divide.

Because even if its true as told here, is a far strecth to call ALL of his supports such and such. There are nut heads and hecklers in both parties... or you woudl deny the Biden suports trashing of Trumps suports cars, or yard signs, or adult women stealing and stomping on your kids Maga hats?? Those things have happened too, and i doesn't mean all blue suporters are such truants.

Worry about you being moral, and keeping cool and being decent, tolerant (truly tolerant too ALL), being kind to all, truthful and honest. Stop thinking name calling and decrying and deriding "alleged" stuff online makes you any good or better that any.

Worry about your deeds and acts and words, how they reflect your true self.

Ask yourself would I do the things I decry in this article if I where in that position using whatever excuse?? Or would I act accordingly to what I would like the other side to act towards me??

That IS the real issue. SHOW and SAY HOW to be better. Don't just blurt out epithets and insults.

Finaly,

@JohnSmith & @Blacklabel -

Are you for real? How can you say such when rioters the world rond are always leftists?? Just see BLM and antifa?

You really think there won't be blue riots if Trump wins?

If Biden wins there would be red protests... but if fraud is belived it could delve into another thing, though.

Science is the application of knowledge to the physical world

Science is not "the application of knowledge to the physical world".

Science is a sytem a method of gaining and obtaining such knowledge that you claim above. The strict application of the scientific method is what makes something scientific or not.

Science is thus, a human effort, a human construct (as a method). What has been proved by that method may or may not be a human cosntruct, but we can only concluded from what constitutes our set reality. (insofar that we cannot know for sure anything beyond our human experience).

If what you are playing is a game of words, saying "gender" is a construct, then what is biological is that "sex" does exist, just 2 of them.

Ah, the classic refrain of the Trump supporter. "I didn't do any research, and then I made my mind up". You love to see it. At least you can't vote in the USA.

The classic misleading of the left. You are reinterpreting my words and thus misrepresenting what I meant.

I said "Anyway, without actually looking to, or actually trying to find out more, I came across different types of views and coverages and was able to make up my own mind."

This means I was not actually at first interested in finding out more or researching, As I came across different types of informations I started doing the research actively. Eventually gaining my own conclusion. But, in fairness this last part of "actively reasearching" was not made evident in my previous comment. However, it does say "I came across different types os views and coverages", which is in itself different from "didn't do any research".

Anyway, I have clarified above that I did evetually do active research.

I will check the videos you post later tonight. Hope you watch the ones I shared as well.

I am not American. Have lived in Japan the last 15 years and counting, and I have never cared for American politics, or any country’s polities for that matter.

I am originally from one of the countries often derided by Trump, especially during his first presidential campaign.

When Trump was campaigning and said stuff about my country, I actually never felt it insulting or deriding in any way, I read what news articles were available about the issue in the news sites I usually consume and felt odd how the articles writers were often more insulted or critic of the comments than me. But for me it stopped at that, just a bit of my periodic dose of news. Then when he won, it didn't surprise as much that he won, but it surprised me that it actually was allowed to happen by the puppeteers of the world.

But it continued to bug me and eventually annoy me how much effort and eventual blatant disdain the mass media had for him, the lambasting, misleading and biased bigoted coverage was at first off-putting and then just blatantly disdainful. I mean I had followed in the same way other presidencies: I remember the mocking of George B. occasional gaffes and some stern criticism of his handling of 9/11, how bland and off-putting was Obama, but with Trump, this was different. I was not realistic to believe how dreadful the media paints it.

Anyway, without actually looking to, or actually trying to find out more, I came across different types of views and coverages and was able to make up my own mind.

And through it all I have for the first time in my life learned about the true workings of US politics and the sad state of media currently.

So just be sane and truly really try to see what you haven't seen, see what else is out here to see and consider. Which is a lot.

You can enjoy some comedy for a start (these are NOT how I began to see the bigger picture, but where a nice find this week):

RBG's last dying request should have been honored. Shame on the GOP.

There is a Constitution to uphold, not "dying wishes".

Even RBG herself declared a president has a constitutuional right to nominate a justice during the last year of his presidency just as any other of the 3 years.

What a biased article by whomever. Is this Japan Today's? The quality of the person makes a person. And the results and succeses it bears speak for themselves.

So much for tolerance and pro-female diatribe of the left.

It's weird how the far-right considers anyone who isn't crazy like them to be left-leaning, just because they might want equality or health care or, you know, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for all people.

Leftist want the goverment to provide the means AND gurantee life, liberty and happiness for "all"(meaning "those who think like them"), in other words, equality of outcome.

Whereas, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are rights for which the goverment should clear and pave the way so that each individual can fully and wholly pursue them on their own volition, will and power. THAT is the American dream. NOT having the goverment tell you what your dreams are and then have those dreams realized handed down to you. The American Dream is Equality of Oportunity, according to what each does with that opportunity the outcome will logically vary. There is only one iPhone creator and everybody who purchases one is declaring they want that item, and are okay with that maker getting billions of dollars whilst other makers do not. If you want equal outcome you would have to limit iPhone sales and force verybody to buy other makers by the same quota (and price); or make the technology open to all makers, thus destroying any future innovation as nobody would want to innovate only for their technology to be appropriated and commonalized .

If you eat all your vegetables at dinner you get dessert, if your sibling doesn't he doesn't get one. He had the same opportunity, he didn't make the most of it. He cannot get the same outcome. Is that simple.

There is a real concern that she murdered her infant.

I am quite sure nobody here needs any poster telling us she night have done it or not. That is pretty obvious, that is why she is on trial.

So, what is your point? Spare us your hollier than thou arrogance.

What do you all gain from spreading condemnation and bloodthirsty comments about somebody totally unknown to you?

It is not about defending her, just understanding we don't know for sure what happened and all circumstances around this.

Just because we are able to think whatever we want and express it, it doesn't mean it is worth expressing it.

What are we spreading: animosity, intolerance, quick judgement before the facts, ignorance, inhumanity, self gratification, etc?? Or generosity, tolerance, understanding, open-mindness,etc??

Does what we say help make a better world or just perpetuates the current state of things??

You don't know the circumstances of the case anymore than I do.

Exactly.

Being humane means being so evenly. The baby is surely a victim of a crime. Be it murder or neglect.

However, this crime is beyond the perpetrator's actions, a social problem. As all crime is.

We will never know what really happened. No matter how obvious it seems to any of you. Whatever you state is not the truth unless you have witnessed it first hand.

By being judgmental, impulsive and bloodthirsty you are not being any more humane than you claim she was.

You are actually perpetuating and encouraging the same social issues that bring about these sad situations: failing to hear all parties, understand all parties, etc.. Abraham Lincoln once something to the tone of "never judge a man unless you have walked a mile in his shoes".

This woman was a new mother for a baby she probably wanted or not, from a man she willingly slept with or not,

for a reason that could range from seeking love to seeking thrills, from a house where her own mother is a burden to her, no father seems to be in the picture for her either, she could be anything from depressive, undadapted, impulsive, rebellious, unsocial, lacking friends, drug user or addict, school dropout... etc, etc,

or not, and still as a new mother very well be facing post-partum depression(PPD), which in and on itself is hard enough for mothers who have the support of their husbands and families and who expressly love their babies (my wife and I are the parents of 2, I can attest to how PPD can affect women, my wife's dejected face after weeks of irregular sleep and her then apparent inability to care anymore for a crying baby when she hasn't been able to sleep well for weeks, carved a lasting image of just how tough the mother's job is), and in that condition the mother's mind is literally blurred, blunted and foggy.

Whatever happened, we don't know, but in any case she deserves the benefit of the doubt and as much pity and sympathy until she is proven guilty.

And the man who got her pregnant deserves as much judgement for not caring for the consequences of his actions, not being responsible.

And all of us need to figure out our role in this and all type of tragedies, as members of society, we might not commit any crime... but do we condone any from our relatives, friends, acquaintances?? Do we pass quick judgments over the internet, but our friend's/relative's/acquaintance's dangerous driving, mistreatment of others, drug use, illegal activities, etc don't meet the same kind of judgement face to face??

Do we seek to help those who seem to be screaming for help, overwhelmed by stress, problems or bad health??

Let's do this instead of passing frivolous judgements over the internet. Will you??
