Yes it is. The President is the Supreme Commander of the military, and it is TREASON to disobey a military order of the President, punishable by death...
And by the way, if Mattis refuses in such a hypothetical case, that is unconstitutional. The generals CANNOT refuse the President in such a circumstan...
Sure, except that special pleading points to a double standard. Why does the statement of the positivists make an exception to the general rule? And i...
No, he was considering it, but he didn't actually try to do it. If he orders Mattis, and Mattis starts initiating the procedures, and then something g...
No he didn't. He just expressed what he would do in case Trump would order him, that he would resign. He did not resign. Why not? Because Trump didn't...
No, this doesn't follow. If you take statement (1) "Some (or even all) metaphysical statements are meaningful", you will not find it begging the quest...
No, not in all contexts. Some discussions are facultative, merely done for the purpose of seeing what other people's positions are for example. Trump ...
Nope, those aren't facts. It's not a fact that Trump tried to obstruct justice. That is your silly spin. What is factual is that some people from the ...
So if you accept the statement, it is contradictory. This is known as a performative contradiction in philosophy, and it is a valid ground for dismiss...
No, that's not an action, that's a discussion that was moving towards taking a certain action. What you are doing is spin, since you don't take the ev...
Where did I say anxiety should be restricted to a pathological condition? I recall multiple times in this thread when I told you the opposite. It may ...
Why? They are purposefully trying to lynch Trump in order to promote their left-wing bias, because they cannot get over the fact that the Democrats lo...
So you tell me, you tell TimeLine, you tell fdrake that we ought not to talk about the pathological anxiety, because that's a complicated phenomenon, ...
Yeah, you threatened to stop talking to me, so I stopped first just to annoy you ;) ;) ;) After all, it would be a shame if TimeLine can stop talking ...
This does not follow nor does it address the problem raised by Wayfarer. "Only statements that can be verified with respect to scientific evidence oug...
If you think anyone has control in such a complex and highly globalised world, you're fooling yourself. Control is more and more difficult as time goe...
I think this thread should be closed as propaganda. George Soros is a reputable philosopher who has made a fortune in finance and has written on philo...
And this is actually very well-studied scientifically. Resilience building and being successful in very stressful environments does require a certain ...
Yes, I think your way is inherently dysfunctional, and while it may work within a limited set of circumstances, if you go out of that set, you will se...
What highly functional human beings practice rumination, preoccupation and obsession? I see none of them - these traits usually lead to dysfunctionali...
The relevance is that you should not say "I only talk about normal anxiety". You need to talk and understand both to understand each one individually ...
TimeLine may be engaged in self-deception, that's what I was trying to draw attention to. All this blabber about going over the past, communicating it...
You're not thinking very deeply about this. To be ill is to be sick, unhealthy - that's a tautology. My point is just that a doctor - meaning a person...
Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvdsbQ3VxLA :s I don't think anxiety actually manifests like that - this seems like an embellishment. I get...
What does "illness" mean to you? You are aware that doctors classifying something as "illness" is just that - a medical classification and nothing mor...
No, insubordination, even in a light matter, is punished, because it teaches others that disobeying is permissible. This is especially so at White Hou...
Yeah, I wouldn't fire you if it wasn't an order, and it was just a suggestion. But if it's an order and you disobey, you'd be fired. It may even be tr...
Exactly, so he didn't order him. Maybe he suggested it, contemplated it, or expressed his desire to do it. That's not the same as ordering him. I alre...
I didn't call them fake news, and I did read the reports. Through reading them, I deduce that the President didn't give an order - he wanted to give a...
So why didn't McGahn resign then? He should have resigned if it was an order, not threaten to resign. The fact that he threatened to resign shows us t...
Nope, he didn't order it. You don't understand what ordering it means. He would have ordered it if McGahn would have resigned. He wanted to order it, ...
I did not go to Harvard law school, or to any law school for that matter, but it doesn't take much brain to realise that the bit you quoted shows exac...
Why are you people obsessed about DT in a thread where I didn't even bring it up? What's a good side? Now addressing your previous comments: I think P...
For example, he tells McGahn "fire him", McGahn says I can't do that because it's obstruction of justice, so if you insist, I will resign, and Trump b...
