The short answer is wealth inequality within and without the United States. It gives him incredible power that he can either abuse or waste. He could ...
I say good riddance to bad rubbish regarding the elite exodus. Where you see future collapse, I see change and opportunity (an industry shakeout) and ...
At the obvious risk of sounding like Karl Marx, I think that the crucial value of a wealth tax is that it addresses concentrated ownership of the mean...
I get what you're saying, but I'm not interested in over-taxation. You're making a slippery-slope argument that cannot aptly be applied to Bernie's pl...
Wealth taxes are a great idea; not at all populism. I'm not sure from which lands you hail, but it sounds like a tax on wealth above 200k is obviously...

What do you mean by "a specific social relation and power"? If you mean something like "the power of whites", then you're not being specific at all. T...
I don't like Zionism because it presupposes that land currently belonging to native inhabitants is the rightful property of a religious authoritarian ...
I feel like I could write a novel-length post on this subject, so I'll be intentionally brief. Intersectional feminist theory draws from the post-mode...
Clearly there was, and regardless of how much desire there has been for a Trump impeachment, the impeachment trial is in fact about justice. Trying to...

I once asked my (Jehova's witness) grandmother why she thought all the other churches were wrong... She said "because they think Jesus died on a cross...
What's he going to say? How, because Israel and Saudi Arabia are such great friends, we should destroy Iran for them? Is doing to Iran what was done t...
Sometimes a Trump fuck-up is just a Trump fuck-up... But for all the ways the anti-Trumpers contort their principles in order to condemn him in every ...
"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figure...
Right. Ignoring the point I made and substituting irrelevant nonsense. We agree. Well if according to the white house the bad terrorists are dead and ...
Right. You're just ignoring the point in favor of an irrelevant red-herring appeal to the fact that armies exist. Because of who they killed. Apparent...
But war literally involves sending soldiers to fight and risk dying. Are you saying that soldiers join the army knowing they risk being sent to fight ...
Your point doesn't need to pertain to specific wars. You were suggesting that sending soldiers to die in wars isn't a negative thing because the soldi...
Oh shoot... You got me there. How can we blame politicians for starting wars? Since the soldiers voluntarily joined the army, it's not the politicians...
Some wise-ass once remarked that war consists of old men sending young men away to die.. (some old Roman dude IIRC)... Some other dude once said that ...
Looks like the U.S and/or Israel just assassinated one of the top Iranian military officials, along with a handful of other Hezbollah commanders (and ...
True, but only because automation has largely rendered their human assets more expendable. Without their automation tech, Amazon would need millions u...
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that it's corrupt for lawyers to seek the maximums? In much the same way, criminal prosecutors and criminal...
After a read of your original post and a few responses. I just skimmed the Humbug article, which does make some interesting points: humbug as a violat...
Corporations only care about the bottom line, which is why extracting justice from them in the form of damages (cash), is an effective deterrent again...
I think lying and bullshitting are on two separate spectra entirely (except maybe on the spectrum of self-deception vs intentional deception of others...
I remember reading a quote that I believe was used as evidence to show intent. it went something like "Whether by the window or the door, I'll get the...
But when the sand-man intentionally tries to over-sand and damage some oysters into retreat to save on dismissal costs or other obstacles, then we hav...

"Duty of care" certainly applies in the employer-employee relationship. However, in tort law, duty of care pertains to "negligence" suits, but the act...
It's a betrayal of the employer-employee relationship/contract. When someone agrees to work for a company, there is an unspoken assumption that the em...
Are you suggesting that the market should sort this out? What if some disgruntled employees harassed the execs to the point that one of them commits s...
I only glanced at an article about this so i might be wrong, but didn't orange execs intentionally try to make people's lives and working conditions m...
So let me get this straight: The founders gave the senate the power of "impeachment", the most critical and sensitive type of judicial proceedings in ...
So when the trial begins, the senators are going to swear an oath to uphold their subjective whims? They could always be impeached for it (which would...
What Mitch said is definitely "unconsitutitional" (in that it controverts the constitution in rhetoric), but whether or not that speech could be crimi...
I'm thankful for the honesty that people are showing (as well as for their civility). I can just hardly restrain my grin when, at this stage, Republic...
But it's the Senator's role to interpret and apply the constitution during an impeachment trial. If what @"Hanover" suggests is true, then the Senate ...
Technically there is no actual formal "jurors oath" as far as I know (or at least no defined penalties). I think in a typical civil, state or federal ...
The founders gave impeachment trial power exclusively to the senate because they assumed the upper house would be filled with the most intelligent, de...

Abuse of power is what got us here in the first place. You can call it a "political process" like Mitch McConnell et al., but in reality when he turns...
Even though Trump will probably not be impeached by the senate (there is yet a chance depending on what else comes out in the trial), the fact that co...
