Re: Biden and Harris - the first 100 days

That's rough, I don't have as much personal history with this. I simply see it as immoral and I react.
Seems we ended up having the same idea on simply googling "apartheid" and "israel". Ending up with a very useful source and article
Indeed! My memory banks are still with me and my "official" remark came from LTM on TV about HRW.

AlJazeera is good
CNN is still obssessed with Trump
BBC World is useless
CGTN, well

Unfortunately, they don't feed us Europeans FoX news or RT these days.
In defense of CNN (which is not my favorite news source), as long as Trump is alive and in total control of the Republican Party and all its members in congress, there is no greater threat to the US (or, for that matter, the world).

According to court documents, Paul Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa, Florida, entered the U.S. Capitol building at approximately 2:50 p.m. on Jan. 6. Around 3 p.m., Hodgkins entered the Senate chamber, walked among the desks, and then removed eye goggles. He took a “selfie-style” photograph with his cell phone and walked down the Senate well where, a few feet away, several individuals were shouting, praying and cheering using a bullhorn. Hodgkins walked toward the individuals and remained standing with them while they continued commanding the attention of others. At approximately 3:15 p.m., Hodgkins exited the Senate chamber and the U.S. Capitol Building.
Harmless. Deserves a day in jail ...

“To deter future rioters”…I’ve never been comfortable with this principle.

Some of us consider this the worst attack on the US since 1941. In that context, eight months and a day aren’t really all that different.

I wonder if Iced Earth is back on tour?

It's actually not a bad group, music-wise. I bet Jon Schaffer was humming that song on Jan 6 2021. Delusional.

OK, I'll give him 2 days -- an extra one for making AOC wet her panties.
