DonF Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Biden declares 'Kyiv stands' in surprise visit to Ukraine | AP News KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — President Joe Biden swept unannounced into Ukraine on Monday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a defiant display of Western solidarity with a country still fighting what he called “a brutal and unjust war” days before the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion. “One year later, Kyiv stands,” Biden declared after meeting Zelenskyy at Mariinsky Palace. Jabbing his finger for emphasis on his podium, against a backdrop of three flags from each country, he continued: “And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you.” Biden spent more than five hours in the Ukrainian capital, consulting with Zelenskyy on next steps, honoring the country’s fallen soldiers and seeing U.S. embassy staff in the besieged country. Altogether he was on Ukrainian territory for about 23 hours, traveling by train from and back to Poland. The visit came at a crucial moment: Biden is trying to keep allies unified in their support for Ukraine as the war is expected to intensify with spring offensives. Zelenskyy is pressing allies to speed up delivery of promised weapon systems and calling on the West to provide fighter jets — something that Biden has declined to do. The U.S. president got a taste of the terror that Ukrainians have lived with for close to a year when air raids sirens howled just as he and Zelenskyy wrapped up a visit to the gold-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral.

Dkansas15 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Seems to be a lot of Trump hating going on here and not surprisingly, a lot of it appears to be untrue... CNN: Accounts of Trump angrily demanding to go to Capitol on January 6 circulated in Secret Service over past year Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn’t get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred. The sources tell CNN that stories circulated about the incident – including details that are similar to how former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described it to the House select committee investigating January 6 – in the months immediately afterward the US Capitol attack and before she testified this week. While the details from those who heard the accounts differ, the Secret Service sources say they were told an angry confrontation did occur. And their accounts align with significant parts of Hutchinson’s testimony, which has been attacked as hearsay by Trump and his allies who also have tried to discredit her overall testimony. The false claim of Trump "hiding" in his bunker is just that - false. The former president demanded to be allowed to go to the Capitol building, reportedly in an attempt to deescalate the situation but his protective detail refused to allow him to do so. It is what it is and remains as it always was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonF Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 actually Don AKA dark Ks (lose your log in or just trying to hide ) the trump hiding in his bunker comes from the protests out side the white house around the same time he had the police and park rangers remove [rotestors so he could hold up a bible upside down in front of a church he never went to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkansas15 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 (edited) Around the same time huh? The Capitol protesters being removed from Lafayette Square was in JUNE of 2020 and according to the U.S. Interior Department's inspector general released a report in June 2021 that concludes that the clearing of Lafayette Square of protesters on June 1, 2020, had been previously planned by the U.S. Park Police after arsonists attempted to set fire to the historical "president's church" the day prior. This decision was made before President Trump made his public statement at a nearby church according to an article from NPR. NPR: IG Report: Police Did Not Clear Lafayette Park For Trump https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=20805140-review-of-uspp-actions-at-lafayette The Capitol riot took place in January 2021... You are free to think and try to convince people a half a year difference is: "around the same time", but personally I don't see it that way. What does the US Park's Service clearing protesters from Lafayette square have to do with Trump; "hiding in his bunker" anyway? 3 hours ago, DonF said: actually Don AKA dark Ks (lose your log in or just trying to hide ) Well since you asked... It seems I'm no longer able to sign in with my previous moderator membership, when I try I get sent to a SEKcommunity.com page which informs me the site I'm attempting to log onto is considered "unsafe" and won't let me sign on. So I made an alternate account to inquire about the block/ban/whatever and that account also was redirected to a block page after making that inquiry. I made third account to post about a local event and after doing so it too was blocked, so far this one was hasn't been but we'll see. Okay, if you wish let's talk about Trump holding up a bible in front of DC's Saint John Church for a photo-op after DC protesters broke into the church and attempted to set fire to the church. Huh? Politicians making some phony baloney public appearance using props to try to make their point... unusual? Not really (see below*) Then let's discuss your claim that Trump never went to, or attended services at St. John's... Jan. 20, 2017 : Trump attended a service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square on his inauguration day. His predecessors, including former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan attended services at the same church on their inauguration days. Former President Bill Clinton attended services at Metropolitan AME Church, a historically black church in Washington, D.C March 17, 2019 : After a months long church-going drought, Trump attended Lenten services at St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square. June 1, 2020 : Trump stood outside St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square for a photo-op holding a Bible... after protesters tried to burn it down. As I correctly stated earlier a lot of {the things posted about Trump} appear to be untrue, but it's being done anyway and I suspect you're tickled no one seems to be calling any of those inaccurate anti-Trump statements for what they are any more... enjoy ~ *Then why don't we discuss politicians and their phony-baloney publicity stunts using inappropriate props to make a statement, this time how about we discuss the one perpetrated by former House Speaker Pelosi and her cohorts? Can we say inappropriate cultural misappropriation? Seems fair... right? 10 hours ago, Dkansas15 said: It is what it is and remains as it always was Edited February 27 by Dkansas15 SPACING -CLEARIFICATION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkansas15 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) 3 hours ago, DonF said: no restrictions bans or blocks according to this site , but its your story tell it anyway ya like ya always have Interesting that you of all people would be tossing out accusations of of someone else for attempting to pass false information... but it is what it is - Below is a screenshot of the block page and the popup happens whether I attempt to use my desktop, laptop, phone or a friends computer at their house. It pops up despite using different antivirus software or no antivirus software or even a VPN so I don't think it's tied to any problem at the sender end but that's neither here nor there the fact is I've had several attempts to sign in canceled/blocked/ whatever and I have to wonder if or how many other previous posters have suffered the same. And whether or not you are being honest about it or even aware of it is inconsequential... it seems you now have free reign and absolute control over the forum since anyone posting dissenting or opposing opinions run the risk of being shadow blocked or banned.

And of course we can all take your word for it because you've never posted or claimed something that was inaccurate or misleading before I suppose... <roll eyes> 1 hour ago, DonF said: as for your unsecure prompt Have gotten that often off the forum at different times . Clean your disc and defrag update your anti virus and stay off hamster in the future Much of that doesn't even make sense by "cleaning your disk" I'm guessing you're talking about cleaning cookies from the web which my computer does daily automatically unless I intentionally exclude them. The different antivirus programs I use on my phone, desktop and laptop also checks for updates daily or downloads automatically whenever they are published and I'm confident my friend's computer is well maintained since they work in the IT industry professionally. Just today to attempt another random check I used the computer at the public library with the same results. Defrag the hard drive also happen automatically once a week or with a manual override which I tend to do monthly and at any rate a fragmented hard drive wouldn't produce those kinds of results. It would either work or not work if there was a fragmentation problem and not work on some accounts but work perfectly well on other accounts. And I don't even know what the "hamster" reference is supposed to mean. 1 hour ago, DonF said: I figured ya just got embarrassed over so many of your previous posts , too many to edit so ya re registered as a new name and even tried to change your writing style, so you wouldnt be as easy to spot . I find it funny myself Yeah not surprisingly you figured wrong, I have made some errors previously and usually owned up to them but for the most part readily stand by much of what I posted, particularly those posts supported by independent documented references, like the NPR and CNN references I offered above to show the inaccuracy of statements an memes previously posted... not that it seems to matter. I attempted to moderate my posting style because I still wanted to be able to post about local events and perhaps Items of local interests like how a few local businesses seem to be tacking on additional fees and surcharges for using credit and debit cards and how some of these places seem to be doing it clandestinely and illegally according to state federal laws... I just completed my research on the topic and was awaiting a response from the State AG's office before posting but here's a bit of a preview: ...according to the federal government's GSA website, surcharges and fees can only be charged against credit cards and not debit cards or prepaid charge cards... (*see below) Can a surcharge be imposed on debit or prepaid cards? No. The surcharge may only be imposed upon credit cards, and not debit or prepaid cards. The amount of the surcharge may not exceed the amount of the swipe fee paid by the merchant on the particular credit card. Therefore, merchants will need to know how much a swipe fee is on each card if they intend to fully recoup the full amount of the swipe fee. When is the surcharge applied? The surcharge is applied before taxes (when applicable for government charge cards). Will an account holder know that there will be a surcharge? Yes. A merchant that decides to impose surcharges must post a notice of the surcharge at the point of entry into the place of business, at the point of sale, and on the receipt given to the consumer. Online merchants must post the notice on their websites. The notice of the surcharge must be printed on the receipt. The receipt must also itemize the dollar amount of the surcharge. https://smartpay.gsa.gov/content/surcharges#:~:text=Can a surcharge be imposed debit card. but it has become apparent counter leftist opinions, even when supported by facts and independent references are provided may tend to get someone's account blocked - but at this point, I don't really care.
