all these people coming out of the social media woodwork determine that princess Katherine is dead/hiding or whatever, they all seem like nutters. Admittedly the palace has done some things which haven't dampened these rumours but surely the rumours are stupid.
If she was dead, why would they lie? How would they explain her not ever being seen again? They'd just say at the time sadly she died and then not announce why.
I find this all totally mental/thick.
You need to understand that a lot of these things are just people having a laugh whilst winding up people who think they're being serious.If she was dead, why would they lie? How would they explain her not ever being seen again? They'd just say at the time sadly she died and then not announce why.

Anyway...here is a picture of my pet surveillance drone as I type this...

It was as much an insurrection as the 2016 post election protests - just because the protests spilled over into congress did not make them somehow an attempt to "sieze" control. That is not how any transfer of power has ever worked. It would be like sitting upon the stone of scone and declaring yourself king.
An insurrection by definition is a revolt against authority, not that it means it has the aims of seizing control.From what I read, it was more a point of them attempting to stop the transfer of power (this was a real goal i.e. to disrupt the process of law).
What is bonkers is that its clear as day Trump had a role in inciting it, yet we have to go through the US legal nightmare of proving it, which if you have enough money to defend it, never will.
It was very much about a losing President attempting to subvert the handover of power, and required the insurrection attempt so that Pence would either be scared into declaring the fake electors (it's no coincidence that the insurrectionists wanted to 'hang' Pence), or delay the decision so that trump could take the decision to his tame SCOTUS.
We can argue the subtleties of whether it meets the strict definition of insurrection, but here is a link LINK to a list of the over 1000 people charged with various criminal and violent acts that day.
It was a definite attempt to seize control amd overturn the legitimate US Presidential election. Jan 6th was the violent part of it, there were attempts to provide fake electors, destroy votes that weren’t going for Trump. He incited and controlled a lot of it “stand back and stand by” allowing weapons into the park where he started the March “fight like hell” and so on.
The fact he’s still managing to defer his criminal trial for this and other actions should be a cause of National shame for the US.

I think any sane and objective thinking person knows that Trump carefully worded everything so that he could post event claim it meant something else - but he knew what his words would do, especially with the core Trump supporter base which is quite frankly a bunch of utter lunatics.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He appears unintelligent but has a kind of 'street smart' ability.coldel said:

He isn't a oratory mastermind, his words are pretty obvious and not carefully crafted at all.What Trump has is a legion of rabid fans that will shout "He DiDn'T sAy ThAT!!1!!!11!!1" whenever it's bought up.

So he's some kind of idiot savant with a dog whistle? He is so stupid and you can't trust anything he says because he is always lying. But you should definitely trust him when he says something you disagree with, and he knows exactly how to talk his way around everything, despite clearly being an idiot?

That's exactly it poppet.The upcoming US election is indeed one of the worst decisions Americans will have to make in recent times - two diddly old fudders completely unfit mentally for running one of the worlds largest economies
Anyway, don't want to derail this thread ... there is another thread for political poking!

Although it’s unfortunate news, the announcement yesterday has finally put to bed all the nonsense going on about the royal family
are you joking? Haven't you looked at the internet since that video came out?! If anything it's worse! They all think it's a fake background, deepfake of her, they are pulling out images of her wearing the same jumper years ago as 'proof'... they all firmly believe she's dead and this is just what they are going to use in a few months as the reason why she died.
