It certainly isn’t about the injustice of George Floyd’s murder anymore. They gunned down an officer in Oakland, not because he had anything to do wit...

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1267129644228247552?s=20 I’m not aware of any evidence of Antifa agitators, but Barr’s recent statements an...

You are right. I was wrong. Yes, Kislyak mentions them. Flynn does not. Flynn certainly does not “ask the Government of Russia's Ambassador to the Uni...

https://www.justice.gov/file/1015026/download The charging document made clear this is what he lied about. Yet in the transcript he does not ask the R...

I did read it, but I also read what you suspiciously left out of it. Clearly he's still talking about the expelling of diplomats. No where in that quo...
May 30, 2020 at 18:26
Clearly they don’t. Why fret about flesh and blood human beings when you can making sweeping generalizations? That’s why human beings are often the br...
May 30, 2020 at 17:33
In contradiction to the charging documents, it is true that “On or about December 29, 2016, FLYNN did not ask the Government of Russia’s Ambassador to...
May 30, 2020 at 17:10
Even if I do agree with you (I don’t; we’re talking about putting people in jail for making false statements, so precision is important), did he in fa...
May 30, 2020 at 16:45
He either asked Kislyak to refrain from escalating or he didn’t. He in fact did not. It takes some mental gymnastics to say he did. Here’s the chargin...
May 30, 2020 at 16:22
There are some contradictions in the Mueller charging documents. As the transcripts show, Flynn in fact did not ask the Russian ambassador to “refrain...
May 30, 2020 at 15:57
Lol. Sometimes you can come up with some gems. :ok:
May 29, 2020 at 18:47
I think it’s boring. I can’t even be bothered to read them, let alone respond.
May 29, 2020 at 18:28
Yeah I've abandoned that spectrum myself. I just don't find affinity with abstract groups and communities in general, probably the logical result of m...
May 29, 2020 at 18:17
I still consider myself a man of the left, just not their version of it.
May 29, 2020 at 18:08
Truth shines in a free and open encounter with falsehood.
May 29, 2020 at 18:07
I like debate, no matter how contentious. It’s good for you.
May 29, 2020 at 18:01
I will abide, even when the rules are selectively applied.
May 29, 2020 at 17:58
I apologize for what I said, Benkei. I know you meant no ill will. That stuff just bothers me.
May 29, 2020 at 17:44
I don’t view the world through the lens of race, and I despise people who pigeon-hole others into such groups and then pretend they can derive from it...
May 29, 2020 at 17:40
I'm not sure that would happen. Perhaps a real example would suffice.
May 29, 2020 at 17:10
It applies to sick people only, not "non-whites" or any other group of people. Perhaps you might refrain from holding low expectations of entire group...
May 29, 2020 at 17:08
You left his part out, shill.
May 29, 2020 at 16:03
The white man has spoken. Non-whites should not go to polling stations.
May 29, 2020 at 16:02
What a lie. Any other advice you have for non-whites?
May 29, 2020 at 15:51
You don’t think non-whites can line up and vote like everyone else? Fucking sick.
May 29, 2020 at 15:23
It’s a poor phrase used to illustrate an old standard which was used to censor opposition to the draft.
May 29, 2020 at 02:12
The standard in first amendment law is “immanent lawless action”, or in other words, the advocacy of criminal activity, if and only when the advocacy ...
May 28, 2020 at 20:59
I think the term “functional equivalent” means it is not actually public property, but functions in a similar manner. Recall when the courts claimed T...
May 28, 2020 at 20:53
I was worried that Trump would attempt to regulate Twitter, but the EO seems to be consistent with law without getting all authoritarian. 1. To order ...
May 28, 2020 at 18:57
Maybe that’s the key to it: do what you can instead of washing your hands of the situation and walking away. Warn the conductor, call the police, make...
May 28, 2020 at 17:38
I think it’s a step too far. But the question of who fact-checks the fact-checkers is an important one. The capricious and political use of their labe...
May 28, 2020 at 17:33
All that being said, it is wrong for Trump to try to regulate social media companies, and I suspect his EO will be slapped down in the supreme court. ...
May 28, 2020 at 16:35
My mistake. Another example is that video. There is nothing manipulated in it.
May 28, 2020 at 16:26
It's the first time it happened!!
May 28, 2020 at 16:20
Apparently it does, because Twitter didn't simply "say it was false", as if they made a statement. They altered the code of the website in a discrimin...
May 28, 2020 at 16:14
Of course not. You guys are all adults, aren't you?
May 28, 2020 at 16:11
Utterly false. If only I had the power to add a little link to fox news under your misinformation.
May 28, 2020 at 16:09
That explains everything.
May 28, 2020 at 16:03
You'd be fine if someone did that to you?
May 28, 2020 at 16:03
I do not want to limit their expressions nor dictate how they run their website, and instead of assuming what I want you might as well just ask me. No...
May 28, 2020 at 15:57
That’s absurd. That’s like saying the first amendment protects itself.
May 28, 2020 at 15:39
I do not.
May 28, 2020 at 15:37
Was there a point in there somewhere?
May 28, 2020 at 15:29
Is this another little game of questions?
May 28, 2020 at 15:26
You have my blessing.
May 28, 2020 at 15:22
Of course they should. It’s their property. They can do what they want. That doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong. Are you able to make that distinction?
May 28, 2020 at 15:12
Again, I never said Twitter’s new feature is illegal or not protected by the first amendment, so it’s stupid to keep trying to nail down that irreleva...
May 28, 2020 at 14:59
It’s not a comment. It’s a new feature of the system, one designed to combat “misinformation”, which has been demanded by Western governments for the ...
May 28, 2020 at 08:12
It’s a twitter comment. The doublespeak is profound.
May 28, 2020 at 07:37
If it’s a comment then who made it?
May 28, 2020 at 07:22
