If the United States already has “socialist institutions”, I guess we don’t need democratic socialists to run things.

You just claimed that institutions are socialist when they "place what's best for the overall community at the forefront". Sorry friend, but that's ri...

I can't agree with that. Public education, post offices, fire departments, infrastructure, etc were not invented by any socialist.

Wait...how are those socialist?

Which socialist institutions?

See I think he's more left-wing than the typical Republican. Either way, he's certainly an aberration from the party's standards.

Sanders poses the biggest threat to Trump, in my opinion. I actually want Sanders to win the primary because I hate the establishment, the DNC, and th...

You could be right as far as I know. I can't say I've read up on it that much, but I am aware of Hamilton's distaste for parties and factions, though ...

I don't blame you. I voted twice for Obama and now sort of regret it, though I still like him. I can't stand the Bush dynasty nor its legacy, however....

You've only offered me loaded questions. If you could correct that I would be happy to answer them. Is that ok?

I think they're right. I don't think someone should be impeached because of partisan differences. I think the bar should be set much higher for impeac...

You're a Democrat? I've never liked either party and will remain an independant, though I do favor the Republicans more and more these days. But I'm w...

That's fair and I appreciate that. The going rate was me being accused of being a troll or Russian bot, so this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

You don’t need my permission, friend. You do you,

I love politics, and this aspect of politics is of particular interest to me. I enjoy the dialectic. I admit that I find it strange that an opposing o...

Thanks for the questions, Shillary. I hope you check in every day.

Then you’re a more trustworthy man than me, that’s for sure. Interestingly enough, the judge denied Stone’s demand for a new trial because of a biased...

Yeah the problem occurred somewhere in the voir dire. Whether it was the fault of his own attorneys or someone else is unclear. You wouldn’t object to...

Some semblance of impartiality would be nice. Even the appearance of bias can be ruinous to the entire justice system. Of course that’s a lot to ask, ...

I’m optimistic and think most of us would act morally save for a few opportunists. But then again it would be interesting to see some statistics on wh...

Lol

It looks like the trial against Stone is rigged. The jury foreman is an anti-Trump democratic candidate and Russia truther. https://www.theguardian.co...

I’m not surprised. It seems like your one fantasy away from doing something foolish,

No, the audio is clear as day. Saying you can do anything does not mean that I have done it. Simple English.

He admitted no such thing.

What about those that were actually accused by the victims, for instance Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, a Maine Democrat, or Bill Richardson,...

“ Epstein was once reportedly a regular at the resort, although he was never a member. Trump later banned Epstein from the property, allegedly due to ...

I’m not talking about “political beliefs”. I’m talking about appeals to motives and your fundamental attribution error. It’s bad faith and it’s unjust...

Punshhh The only standards Punshhh has are double standards. He sees opposing opinions as so foreign that he simply refuses to believe people will dis...

That’s a loaded question, Shillery.

Prove or otherwise admit that you have imagined it all. Admit you’re speculating. Admit you’ve invented it. Admit that you have no proof. It is a part...

I was just continuing my point. My apologies. But you’re right. It is difficult for anyone of lower means to compete with the political machinery now ...

I don’t understand those who decry “big business” and lobbying. The only reason people buy out politicians and bureaucrats is because politicians and ...

Sorry, big big business and media don’t run the country. Government does. And if you think about it, if there is less government then there is less po...

The problem is the government takes our money and does with it what it sees fit. It has the monopoly on violence and we have to depend on it for our v...

Right, “patterns” as you keep saying. There is also a continuous pattern of a particularly insidious form of appealing to motives, especially when it ...

Those trade deals also cover manufacturing. What would be good according to you doesn’t necessarily mesh with the interests of Trump supporters. Incre...

I see no evidence that Senators are blocking it “because it would look critical of Trump”, nor that “the net result is that it DOES enable future inte...

Free tuition and healthcare and student loan relief definitely sound better, but whether it is better or results in something better is a different st...

The point of any trade policy isn’t just immediate results, but also long term ones as well. Given China’s recent pledge to purchase around 32 billion...

I see no evidence for that conclusion.

They see the government as more of a problem than a solution, and prefer it stay out of they private affairs rather than meddle in it. So it appears s...

This is quite a common trope. What are their interests, and how are they voting against them?

I’m only relaying Blackburn’s statements. I would just stress that the suggestion that they are blocking it to allow foreign interference is without m...

I don’t want you to think you’ve wasted time typing all that out, so thx for the reasonable response. I read all of it. I appreciate you considering b...

The senator Blackburn’s claim is that it takes power from the states to govern their own elections and give it to the federal government. She further ...

In the revised recommendation, here, the DOJ states that “the Sentencing Guidelines enhancements in this case—while perhaps technically applicable— mo...

You have offered zero arguments and in lieu of them can only repeat, like a parrot, unproven accusations. All this from someone who in theory should b...

I remain unconvinced by your specious and spurious reasoning. It’s as simple as that. You know that but you fear being exposed as a dupe.
