With his deep ties through out the Biden Administration, it's a brilliant move. Meng should sigh a breath of relief, she will be free soon to return to China and all US Gov charges will be dropped. Look to also see Huawei sanctions removed. Hard to buy the Chinese and Russians but American Politicians will whore themselves out for the cost of a hooker, golf game and dinner, plus a couple of points on the deal. It's so nice to know your elected officials work for foreign powers and themselves and they say the folks who stormed the capital were the terrorists.

What would you call folks that violently and successfully interrupted a core democratic process of tabulating the votes from different states?

  >What would you call folks that violently and successfully interrupted a core democratic process of tabulating the votes from different states? Are you referring to the Politicians you vote for that violently spread war and interrupt core democratic process all over the world? It's not both because the folks in power (and their supporters) are the ones who are exaggerating everything to obfuscate their own criminal behavior.

  A permanent war among plebs - well, I do not want any part of it. I might as well hang-out with Tony and collect some Fentanyl money.

  if they "violently and successfully interrupted a core democratic process", why do you think the charges being levied against these terrorists are so light? Why no charges of insurrection?

    Some of the more serious charges being levied such as "Assault on a federal officer with physical contact and intent to commit another felony" come with penalties more severe than insurrection charges.

      my point is that there is inconsistency between popular descriptions of jan6 and the charges. If jan6 was as bad as many say it was, then we should expect to see not only serious indictments, but also convictions.

        Did you miss the conviction with a 8 month prison sentence a few days ago? Other convictions are in the pipeline.

        Highlighting the remarkably long sentence for “interrupting an official proceeding” actually undermines your argument.

      But to be clear, there are no insurrection or terrorism related charges. The point is it does not meet the definition of insurrection.

    Obviously this wasn’t an “insurrection,” and the people using that inflammatory language are hyperventilating to crack down on dissidents. We even know that FBI agents were involved in setting this up (although the full extent of involvement is unknown). It’s no different from China or Cuba. Perhaps more insidious than what you’d see in Russia.
