Pence says 'history will hold' Trump accountable for Jan. 6 in Gridiron speech

Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered his harshest rebuke yet of former President Donald Trump over the weekend for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Pence made the comments while speaking at the annual Gridiron Club Dinner, a white-tie event thrown by Washington, D.C. journalists and attended by high-profile Beltway figures. The exclusive soiree is known for politicians poking fun at each other and members of the D.C. press corps taking part in skits. This year featured speeches from Pence, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The former vice president used the platform to issue his strongest criticism to date of his ex-boss as the two inch toward their anticipated 2024 rivalry.

My comment: What a back stabbing POS Pence turned out to be. IMHO his political career is DOA.

"It’s as bad as we thought… Since we’ve last spoken we have bank records in hand. We have individuals who are working with our committee," Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

"In the last two weeks we’ve met with either these individuals personally or with their attorneys. And that would be four individuals who had ties in with the Biden family in their various schemes around the world. So now we have in hand documents We have in hand documents in hand that show just how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist Party."

I have added the last paragraph and cross posted as it's a topic more appropriate here than the Ukraine thread

Some interesting facts from the YouTube channel Ukraine news tv.

The video touches on the subject of arms imports / exports and it's no surprise to find the USA is by far the largest exporter with approximately 3 times the next biggest, Russia. With poor Russian results in Ukraine from its home produced garbage it looks like this trend likely to increase further.

What happens with the huge sums of money generated by this industry and the resultant profits is ultimately a matter for the American people though i would add if Trump / Biden and their respective parties made multinationals and other untouchables pay a minimum of 20% tax a lot of America's internal problems including the deficit will start to go away.

Note - 20% is the lower rate personal tax allowance in the UK.
