Empty words.
Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy as a chauffeur. Eric Swalwell was bedding a Chinese spy who he didn't give up until the FBI informed him she was a spy. She even put an intern in his office and he's on the House Intelligence committee and privy to the most secret intelligence. And then there's Biden's son taking $1.5 billion from the Chinese. There's the constant issue of the Chinese stealing intellectual property. Let's see the Dems be as tough on the Chinese as Trump was. Bet you won't.
 

The big package

You don't get it. It's not about appeasing the world for their sake. It's about what that country can weaponize and use to their advantage in numerous ways to degrade our position in the world, based on how we treat our own democratic system.

A country like China can point to our chaos and violence and claim in their propaganda, "See? They're not any better than we are. Screw democracy." It helps them. It hurts us. Any serious intelligence official, agent or analyst would agree with that. Any serious defense official would agree with that.
If i dont get it you dont explain it well. you keep saying you're worried about what some frenchman in europe thinks of us. I dont live my life based on their whims. you apparently get up every morning worried that some body somewhere in the world may not like you.

18 U.S. Code § 2101 - Riots

It is a crime to incite a riot, or to “aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot.” Violators of this statute may also face up to five years in prison.

18 U.S. Code § 372 - Conspiracy to impede or injure officer

Conspiracy to “prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office, trust, or place of confidence under the United States.” As the purpose of the pro-Trump insurrection appears to be to prevent President-elect Biden from holding the office of president, this statute could apply to members of that insurrection. Violators of this law face up to six years in prison.

18 U.S. Code § 1361 - Government property or contracts

It is a crime to damage federal property. If the amount of the damage exceeds $1,000, violators face up to 10 years in prison, while lesser damage may result in up to one year in prison. Another statute makes it a crime to rob “personal property belonging to the United States,” and violators of this statute face up to 15 years in prison.

These statutes could potentially be used against members of the pro-Trump mob who damaged parts of the Capitol. In a widely circulated photo, for example, an apparent member of the mob is seen carrying a lectern from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. If, in fact, this individual stole that lectern, he could be prosecuted for doing so.

18 U.S. Code § 1752 - Restricted building or grounds

It is a crime if someone “enters or remains in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority.” Such grounds may include any restricted area where a person “protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting.” Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding over the Senate when rioters breached the Capitol, is protected by the Secret Service.

Violators of this statute may face up to 10 years in prison if they carry a firearm or other deadly weapon, or if their crime “results in significant bodily injury.” Otherwise, they face up to one year.

Finally, it is a crime to assault “any person having lawful charge, control, or custody of any ... property of the United States, with intent to rob, steal, or purloin such” property. This statute could potentially be applied to insurrectionists who committed assault as part of an effort to rob the Capitol.

Violators of this statute face up to 10 years in prison — or up to 25 years if they put their victim’s “life in jeopardy by the use of a dangerous weapon.”

I'm just relieved these knuckle draggers didn't reach the inner chambers and take anyone hostage. Could've been a lot worse.
That would have been funny if they did. I can see it now ---nobody would care if those imbeciles were taken hostage. 95% of them are career politicians who don't give a crap about the idiots (myself included) who elected them.

They forced their way into our Capitol and engaged in vandalism and intimidation. I am upset at the police leadership. If that was a crowd of Muslims they'd all be dead.

The MAGA lunatics should be happy they didn't get mowed down.
Dead Muslims. Dead Blacks...... One can only wonder.....yeah man.
Writing evidence-free "what would have been" fan fiction isn't helpful or relevant.
