Of course I notice this. But who is doing the favoring? Lobbying is an important avenue through which the public can petition the government, and it’s...
February 14, 2020 at 22:16
So long as you admit it, yes I do.
February 14, 2020 at 21:26
As you might expect I will have to accept this with extreme suspicion. The defense, Michael Bromwich, was the inspector general of the Clinton DOJ and...
February 14, 2020 at 21:21
I wouldn’t be happy either. To me this is more evidence of the two-tiered approach to justice.
February 14, 2020 at 21:14
It appears to be so. That’s a shame given that he lied to the FBI with all these others being jailed for doing the same. So does that Waylay your fear...

I was trying to see it through Bong’s lenses rather than my own, considering his past films. It seems obvious to me that the flood was referencing the...

Any advice on how I should further conduct myself in the future?
February 14, 2020 at 20:52
You promised me an analysis about my right-wing extreme views and how I am a danger to democracy. Is that ever going to arrive? or....
February 14, 2020 at 20:34
I don't mind some constructive criticism on how I should conduct myself, Tim. Metaphors about pissing on your leg is fine and dandy, but anything real...
February 14, 2020 at 20:23
That's just your fantasy getting the best of you again. I suppose it's a good thing your opinion means very little to me.
February 14, 2020 at 19:51
You guys have no qualms in uncritically believing and promoting the flimsiest of cases to justify your conspiracy theorizing.
February 14, 2020 at 19:45
I think Bong Joon Ho also contrasted the effects of climate change on the rich and poor. When the river flooded and the rains started, the result for ...
February 14, 2020 at 19:29
The question was loaded, it was poorly asked. There is no indication Trump heard it properly. There is no indication Trump was talking about sending G...
February 14, 2020 at 19:05
Anytime now....
February 14, 2020 at 18:53
You used a CNN article to make a point. The CNN article claimed Trump openly admitted to something he didn't. Is this true or false? Rivera's question...
February 14, 2020 at 18:52
Still awaiting your sober analysis.
February 14, 2020 at 18:45
So is CNN telling the truth?
February 14, 2020 at 18:43
I answered your questions many times. Still awaiting your analysis.
February 14, 2020 at 18:42
Keep looking.
February 14, 2020 at 18:40
He did not admit it. Quote him admitting anything close to openly admitting sending his attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to find damaging information...
February 14, 2020 at 18:39
I’ve answered all your questions, so let’s hear your analysis.
February 14, 2020 at 17:52
All of these effects are caused by personal motivations, desires and feelings. If a judge or attorney or attorney general are influenced by a tweet th...
February 14, 2020 at 17:49
That’s a complete lie, and you’re falling for it. He admitted no such thing.
February 14, 2020 at 17:46
This just in: fair trials are for suckers. Bring back the Kangaroo court.
February 14, 2020 at 08:38
Why is it not a particularly reliable measure?
February 14, 2020 at 08:33
We could easily look at an exhaustive list of socialist states and cross-reference it with various indexes of quality of life, freedom, human rights r...
February 14, 2020 at 08:04
I agree it’s probably not helpful for the DOJ to receive so much scrutiny, but I’m not aware that he said anything about speaking out against an injus...
February 14, 2020 at 07:57
I’d hope that their political affiliations did not come into play, that’s for sure. If there is a conflict of interest then it puts doubt on the whole...
February 14, 2020 at 03:52
First, it is not inappropriate to call foul on injustice. In fact I think it is quite appropriate. Either way, how does a tweet have any bearing on a ...
February 14, 2020 at 03:43
Again, I was speaking about the recommendation of the DOJ for a lesser sentence. Someone linked to an article saying it was corruption. I said it soun...
February 14, 2020 at 03:20
I was speaking about DOJ’s decision to change its recommendation.
February 14, 2020 at 03:12
I believe it is unjust to punish someone in a manner not appropriate to their crime.
February 14, 2020 at 02:41
Again your assumption that Trump’s tweet somehow influenced Barr’s decision is just that, an assumption, and one that isn’t backed by any evidence sav...
February 14, 2020 at 02:07
I have never supported POTUS influencing DOJ in lesser sentencing recommendations for people who he likes. The question is loaded because it assumes, ...
February 13, 2020 at 23:59
That's a valid complaint by Barr. The timing of Trump's tweet, though it agrees with Barr's assessment about the Stone case, has a tendency to fuel co...
February 13, 2020 at 23:51
How dramatic. I can't wait.
February 13, 2020 at 23:29
Thanks :ok: .
February 13, 2020 at 23:21
He's a self-described socialist, has backed the Socialist Worker's party, has applauded bread lines, etc. So though I agree his policies may not be te...
February 13, 2020 at 22:34
I wouldn't disagree with that.
February 13, 2020 at 22:22
I'm not disputing that at all.
February 13, 2020 at 22:19
I read your quotes, yes. Are you also going to claim that you own the police, fire departments, public parks and the military?
February 13, 2020 at 22:18
It doesn't mean the public owns the police either.
February 13, 2020 at 22:16
I dare you to say that to the police officer the next time you get pulled over.
February 13, 2020 at 22:03
Which public entities, lands and institutions do you own?
February 13, 2020 at 22:01
What do you think ownership means?
February 13, 2020 at 21:59
Because I pay for their service, not because I own them.
February 13, 2020 at 21:58
How does “social ownership” fit into your definition? Will you say that me paying taxes means I own the post-office?
February 13, 2020 at 21:43
Exactly.
February 13, 2020 at 21:28
I’m well aware of American rhetoric around what “socialism” means. Bernie sanders himself once said Denmark was socialist. But Denmark is a market eco...
