I see nothing wrong with the article save for the implication that speaking to Assange and Wikileaks and having interest in the emails (knowledge of w...

I said his treatment was unjust, not his conviction. His conviction has not changed.
July 13, 2020 at 16:33
Horowitz report was quite explicit: “We determined that the Crossfire Hurricane team’s receipt of Steele’s election reporting on September 19, 2016 pl...

I think submitting someone to unjust investigation and treatment, and then convicting them because they weren’t 100% correct during that investigation...

He was raided by an FBI Swat team in the middle of the night with CNN in tow. He was gagged at his trial. His judge and jury forewoman were anti-Trump...

Because he was treated unjustly and wasn’t given a fair trial.
July 13, 2020 at 15:26
I love it when you foam at the mouth, Tim. But it’s a shame your insults are as about as good as your arguments.
July 13, 2020 at 15:06
You’re spouting the Pelosi line that the Mueller investigation was a legit investigation. The Steele dossier was payed for by the Clinton campaign and...
July 13, 2020 at 14:56
A couple bad experiences might lead one to use faulty generalizations, and that is probably true for some police as well. If the police treat you unju...

He’s still guilty and still a felon the last time I checked. Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller probe were a farce. They spied on a political campaig...

I’ve explained my views on Stone before. I think the investigation and prosecution were political and unjust.
July 11, 2020 at 20:39
Stone’s sentence commuted. And the outrage is glorious.
July 11, 2020 at 16:57
I think it’s more in line with a sort of Blanquism: In effect, revolution for the sake of revolution, without any care for what society may look like ...

I know that if I was given highly classified, highly dubious information, the publication of which could ruin fact-finding missions and put intelligen...
July 10, 2020 at 18:27
I wonder why you’d quibble about my use of the word “gossip” while leaving the media’s hysteria, which perhaps ruined all avenues of finding the truth...
July 10, 2020 at 16:51
Then what is the problem again?
July 10, 2020 at 16:37
It wasn’t credible enough to do anything, according to McKenzie. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/top-general-doubts-russian-bounty-program-killed-us/s...
July 10, 2020 at 16:19
You use the euphemism “intelligence”; I use the word gossip. It wasn’t credible enough to brief the president or Vice President or the gang of eight. ...
July 10, 2020 at 16:00
Yes, he said the reporting that the president was briefed was a hoax. If you don’t like the word use another one. Rumors? Whispers? Tales?
July 10, 2020 at 15:40
There is no fact that Trump doesn’t read intelligence reports. It is fake news because the story is, according to the administration, false. You make ...
July 10, 2020 at 15:30
It’s gossip. Robert C. O’Brien also said the reporting was a hoax, and that the information was unverified and not corroborated. This is why you shoul...
July 10, 2020 at 15:07
But there is a way to spin it so it is negative for Trump. Hence the leaker, the Democrats, the fake news singing the same songs in unison. They want ...
July 10, 2020 at 14:56
It wasn’t raised to his attention because it wasn’t credible intel and could not be corroborated. It’s gossip. So it’s no surprise opponents have gras...
July 10, 2020 at 14:37
I’ve never said such a thing. But I will say everyone is a victim of cancel culture. You will only deny it until it comes for you.
July 08, 2020 at 18:12
A couple years ago the city in which I live removed the statue of John MacDonald, Canada’s first prime minister, due to his residential school policie...
July 08, 2020 at 18:10
I wonder where those writers and academics were years, even decades ago, when the alarm bells were being rung. Better late than never, I suppose. But ...
July 08, 2020 at 17:16
I figure that since “true” and “false” are adjectives and descriptive terms, there is really no need to imagine them as nouns and go off in search of ...
July 06, 2020 at 21:57
Unless you have existed at some other place and time, you are original and one of a kind. As a corollary, this is why you matter.
July 05, 2020 at 21:48
According to “multiple intelligence sources familiar with the briefing”, Schiff was briefed in February, but for some reason took no action. https://t...
July 05, 2020 at 21:30
That’s nonsense, but it appears nonsense is the going rate here.
July 05, 2020 at 21:28
Just to be clear, your only arguments are straw men. Is that because you think you’re clever, or because you have no other argument?
July 05, 2020 at 21:19
I’d be weary of it for ethical reasons. The public should have as much information as possible in order to judge the reliability and motivations of so...
July 05, 2020 at 17:09
There is nothing to obey. There is no requirement. They can live and gather as they wish in an open society. And they can do so without disrupting any...
July 05, 2020 at 17:02
I think the role of the media should be to continue growing. Keep the means to reach an audience open to anyone. That’s why I would say censorship is ...
July 05, 2020 at 07:11
I think it’s a great idea to support others, especially those in need of family. What I don’t agree with is to do so to disrupt the “Western-prescribe...
July 05, 2020 at 01:04
I think everyone should help one another. It’s a brilliant idea.
July 04, 2020 at 21:45
Again, no one has a dim view of “helping one another”. That would be what is known as a lie where I’m from.
July 04, 2020 at 21:23
I just don’t find your opinions compelling or interesting.
July 04, 2020 at 21:20
I don’t need to misrepresent them. I can quote them directly from their website and interviews.
July 04, 2020 at 21:15
Because I believe it is a bad idea. I’m not going to stop them or impede their choices, but I’m not going to support them either. It’s a rotten lie th...
July 04, 2020 at 20:55
I think the current political hegemony in culture—academia, the press, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, corporate America—is quite a bit more powerful than ...
July 04, 2020 at 18:43
"The idea of people helping one another" doesn't trouble me, but the idea of disrupting "the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement" ...
July 04, 2020 at 18:28
I find it troubling that anyone would preach such piffle, when the opposite might be the better cause. Does that make sense to you?
July 04, 2020 at 17:04
I guess it's a good thing I don't respect your opinion. Like I said, I think they're preaching dangerous nonsense. Rather I think they should be champ...
July 04, 2020 at 17:00
I don’t think BLM can operate as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, namely because it isn’t an extended family o...
July 04, 2020 at 16:39
No, it just hints at the ideological undertones of the organization. Perhaps. But I believe family stability is important to the health, wealth, and w...
July 04, 2020 at 16:31
They couldn’t replace it if they tried. My contention is that they are preaching dangerous nonsense, none of which has to do with police violence or r...
July 04, 2020 at 16:20
Then why would you say “replace”?
July 04, 2020 at 16:12
When the founder calls her and her co-founders “trained marxists”, I take them at their word.
