RT: Russia ready to discuss human rights if Biden wants, but starting with arrest of protesters who stormed US Capitol, says FM Lavrov  

After US President Joe Biden revealed he plans to raise the issue of human rights when he meets his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin next month, Moscow has said it is happy to have the discussion, as long as it goes both ways.

Speaking as part of a press conference on Monday, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that “we are ready to talk, we have no taboo topics. We will discuss whatever we think is necessary. We will be ready to answer the questions that the American side will raise. This also applies to human rights.”

Yeah - the Jan 6 "Insurrection". Without a single person charged with insurrection. Or sedition. Or treason. Or firearms possession. Just misdemeanor trespassing.

And 5 months locked up solitary confinement in the DC septic tank.

Biden's DOJ doesn't know it yet, but it has made all these people millionaires.


CRUEL,
UNUSUAL,
LAWSUITS,

I did 30 years in LE, 15 as a major crimes investigator. I have been involved in dozens of officer involved shooting investigations and I've been the LE shooter on several occasions. I am stunned by the Ashley babbit murder. We all saw it, there was no immediate need to use deadly force. If there is a Federal law that allows for the use of deadly force if someone simply crosses some boundary than lets see it. If there is okay, but I know there is not. The right to "Life" is preeminent in the law. it seems in this country, to be a democrat is to have diplomatic immunity. The silence from the people about this murder is deafening. I'm waiting for the call up. This hateful union cannot bend me to its will anymore.

I didn't see much of this incident but what I saw didn't qualify as a riot unless I was a demokrat.
