By acting contrary to his Constitutional duties. Investigating a US citizen without due cause violates due process. Trump also seems to have violated ...

Impeachment is not just for violations of statutes, as you seem to imply. In Federalist 65, Hamilton discusses impeachment and refers to "offenses whi...

Big News! Trump utters a true statement!: I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody I know. I...

The Trump campaign was warned of foreign interference (including Russian) in August 2016, which was within weeks of the determination having been made...

It's not an impasse! It's an opportunity to look hypocrisy in the face! For example, it is hypocritical to embrace Trump's unwarranted allegations aga...

And yet Trump and his supporters proclaim that Mueller completely exonerated him, which is false. There is more evidence for Trump's conspiring with R...

In the quote, which is from volume 1, Mueller is stating a standard and surely it applies broadly. It is also true there there is evidence that Trump ...

Your mistrust of these individuals does not justify your assertion that the Russian investigation was a "hoax". There's no evidence of their having in...

I'm supportive of a healthy level of mustrust of their public comments, but it's crazy to be totally dismissive of their work, particularly in a case ...

The intelligence community absolutely deserves to be trusted by default, otherwise we might as well open up all the prisons and give up all hope of un...

Sure, but there was actually evidence to suggest wrongdoing. For example, Russians hacked the DNC servers, released the materials through Wikileaks, a...

If you would like to portray youself as an objective observer, I recommend you refrain from using Trump's memes. The investigation was anything but a ...

They will not. Has any Republican in Congress even acknowledged that the closed hearings are even allowable, much less appropriate?
October 24, 2019 at 18:26
Yes, and Republican defenders are implying he lied, and is part of a "deep state" conspiracy. His true believers, like NOS4A2, will continue to have t...

You don't understand the concept of "evidence". With your absurdly narrow view of evidence, no white collar crimes could ever be prosecuted.
October 23, 2019 at 14:30
Yes, it's evidence, because he was in position to know what was going on. I think you mean Sondland. Sure, taken at face value, Sondland's response is...

Clearly, William Taylor perceived there to be the impeachable quid pro quo: "“As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistan...

"Sole" reason? Are you saying he shouldn't be impeached & removed for this if there was also a second precondition? Do you agree that there is some ev...

I have a question. If it could be established that Trump actually withheld funds for Ukraine to influence them to investigate Biden, would you agree t...

I do not think the video will result in violence toward media. I just see it as yet another example of Trump devotees' slavish devotion, uncritically ...

You must not have read the post from Wallows before you responded to it. There is ample evidence that Trump is a detriment to American values, and yet...
October 04, 2019 at 21:20
Provide some facts that support the notion that Trump is upholding American ideals. Be sure to state the ideals he is upholding.

There are Christian apologists who absolutely insist Jesus was actually resurrected, and that this can be"proven". I've debated Christians on this for...

Your stated reason is contrary to whistleblower law: 2nd hand information is reportable. The report was even judged credible by the IG. I'm still awai...

I never said anything about it BEING true. What I said was: (I believe p) = (I believe p is true). ... which is consistent with the article. Bizarrely...
October 03, 2019 at 20:22
You sidestepped my points: 1) It is inadequate as a sole basis to impeach, but -like any credible whistleblower report- it warrants investigating furt...
October 03, 2019 at 20:03
And yet, you're fine with Trump doing exactly that with regard to Biden. Regarding Trump's offenses, we also have the whistleblower report, which prov...

You only need to read the first sentence of this article. It defines the term "belief", as the word is commonly used among english speaking philospher...

You are repeating the Republican talking points, and overlooking the obvious: the whistleblower complaint is within the legal guidelines, is credible,...

I recommend you read this article.

For any proposition p: (I believe p) = (I believe p is true).

By "the truth of Christianity", I am referring to key doctrines of Trinitarian Christianity being true. In particular, that Jesus actually existed, wa...

Please elaborate. I've found nothing on this. Let's compare facts. Here's the facts I'm aware of: 1) A whistleblower from the U.S. intelligence commun...
September 23, 2019 at 03:25
Ah, such faith in your orange god! You regard it as "DNC spin" to have suspicions aroused by knowlege that there was a whistleblower report. These sus...

I have not judged Trump guilty of this charge. I haven't even said there's necessarily enough evidence to even indict him. You are the one expressing ...
September 12, 2019 at 04:44
No, Cohen's testimony alone isn't enough to indict, but there is at least a bit more than that. It may or may not be sufficient. What makes you so cer...
September 11, 2019 at 19:15
LOL! The Justice dept has ruled that a sitting President cannot be indicted.
September 11, 2019 at 17:35
It may result in some Republicans staying home, and it may sway some independents.
September 11, 2019 at 17:32
That may not be entirely true: No, Trump isn’t Teflon. Scandals lower his approval among Republicans — if they see the news
September 11, 2019 at 16:37
I didn't realize that was what you were advocating. I'd be OK with delaying an impeachment vote until then, but I think they should hold impeachment h...

OJ was acquitted, but it didn't change anyone's mind about him. It is possible you're right, but it is also possible that failure to indict (which is ...

A lot of different people have made a variety of hyperbolic remarks about Trump, and you lump them all together into one boogeyman. Let's get real and...

Great. As I said, a Schroedinger equation indeed does that for a quantum system. The tricky part is that a measurement does something. What it DOES is...
September 10, 2019 at 21:27
Do you agree that a system can be considered deterministic if it evolves over time strictly per an equation over time? That is the case with a quantum...
September 10, 2019 at 19:39
A quantum mechanical system evolves over time in strict accordance with a time-dependent Schroedinger equation. This means that at every point in time...
