D.C. AG Racine: Trump, Rally Speakers Are 'Being Reviewed' for Inciting Violence Charges January 18, 2021 by Pam Key District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that he was looking at charging President Donald Trump and others who spoke at the rally proceeding the deadly riots at Capital Hill on “inciting violence” charges. Anchor Ali Velshi said, “You are considering bringing charges, that’s what the reporting is, against people for inciting this riot.” Racine replied, “The reporting is accurate. The office of attorney general has jurisdiction over a number of potential offenses, including weapons, ammunition, curfew violations, and the one that’s gotten the most attention, of course, is the inciting violence charge. We’ve brought that charge before. It is law in D.C. since 2011. It makes illegal the statements of individuals that clearly encourage, cajole, and otherwise, you know, get people motivated to commit violence. We’ll balance the First Amendment rights of speakers versus this law and will be judicious with whether to charge and who to charge but every single person at that rally is being reviewed.” He continued, “If one is talking about combat justice in a crowd that is all amped up and really focused on taking over a particular building, like the Capitol. I think it gets closer to that line. When folks are talking about fighting, fighting, fighting, I think it gets closer to that line. Ultimately, we’re going to have to do a thorough investigation, which is under way, including, I must say, talking to people who were at that rally, talking to people who indeed stormed the Capitol and went inside.” He added, “You know, we’re looking at the president, of course you have to be, you know, incredibly diligent and responsible whenever you’re going to charge anyone. The president is not above the law. He’s not below the law. I think his conduct prior to the mob storming the Capitol is relevant. I think his conduct during that time and immediately thereafter is also relevant. You’ll remember it wasn’t until hours after the Capitol was cleared that the president actually made a statement of contrition and actually chastised and called the stormers rioters. That’s a long time after what everyone saw on their TV was an attempt essentially to undo our democracy. So we’re going to be thorough, patient, and rigorous.”
ECONOMYBIDEN: I’m ‘Asking Everyone to Pay Their Fair Share at the Top’ So We Can ‘Rebuild America’ posted by Hannity Staff - 2 hours ago President-Elect Joe Biden delivered his first major national address since the Electoral Count was certified Thursday night; calling on “everyone at the top” to pay “their fair share” so we can rebuild and rescue the American economy. “What I just described does not come cheaply… We simply can’t not afford to not do what I’m proposing,” said Biden. “Even Wall Street firms have reinforced the logic. We must invest now, boldly, and smartly,” said Biden. “Asking everyone to pay their fair share at the top so we can make permanent investments to rescue and rebuild America is the right thing for our economy,” he added.
I always thought freight was the profitable side of airlines anyway and passengers were the cream on the cake?
Not in the past Karen... Most of our routes were full pre COVID which meant 340 pax up top , their bags below plus on average 20 tonnes of pure high yield cargo ( fresh produce , IPhones ,Ipads etc ).... Far more profitable than pure freight.. Not any more..
I just heard a list of the immediate changes that Biden is going to make. Predictably changing things put in place by Trump as a priority. Good luck America. You'll need it.
Not sure why anyone intelligent would want to make the US like CA, it is and has been poorly run for at least two decades. I can attest having been living in CA for many decades.
Agreed, we should always be open to ideas , nobody has a mortgage on good and bad ideas I just don't like being a follower of any political party, it's a dishonest profession. I believe most people go in with great thoughts of doing good for the country but then have their ideals derailed by party lines
