It’s a shame I don’t respect your opinions. I suspect them.
January 27, 2020 at 22:27
I’m clearly speculating and not pretending otherwise.

Pam Bondi is now laying out the case against the Bidens in front of the senate. This is getting good.
January 27, 2020 at 22:24
I’m not convinced. The context, the joking and laughter about her comments, suggests to me he was largely kidding around and playing it up for those h...

That’s fair. Trump could definitely be lying. But given that she wasn’t fired for over a year later until after allegations from Ukrainian prosecutors...

Me: You: Merriam-Webster: lie noun (2) \ ?l? \ Definition of lie (Entry 4 of 6) 1a : an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker or wri...

The idea that Trump should remember every conversation and every name with everyone he meets is a little silly. Maybe you can remember every name and ...

I agree with Clinton on this one. His personal sex life should not have been aired in public. Privacy is important, even for the most public of figure...

That’s a blatant mischaracterization of what I said. But I wouldn’t accuse you of lying for doing so. Sure, you could be lying, acting in bad faith an...

The term “lies” implies an intention to deceive. But given that knowledge of those intentions are completely absent from our knowledge, the use of the...

At least the last presidential impeachment had the added bonus of sordid details and sexual deviancy.
January 27, 2020 at 18:33
The Senate trial begins for the day. The defense has 22 hours remaining to make their case. https://youtu.be/6zHPfxOR0-E Kenneth Starr of Clinton impe...

Hah. To be fair lying in congressional hearings and senate trials is a big deal.
January 27, 2020 at 18:06
What? No article to tell you how to respond?
January 27, 2020 at 18:00
What’s to debate? Correlation does not imply causation.
January 27, 2020 at 17:54
Trump’s words are so powerful he can manipulate matter. You believe in sorcery, friend.
January 27, 2020 at 17:51
Trumps words damage lives. That’s not the first stupid thing I’ve heard today, but pretty close.
January 27, 2020 at 17:39
No, not really. Again I don’t look to politicians for truth. In fact I think it would be idiotic and naive to do so. What I want is leadership and res...
January 27, 2020 at 17:23
I do not dispute that.
January 27, 2020 at 17:06
I’m not insulted at all. I love hearing people try to psychoanalyze others from afar. They insult themselves.
January 27, 2020 at 16:55
I prefer the little falsities and misleading statements to the Big Lie of public relations politics. I like to know what my leaders are thinking, whet...
January 27, 2020 at 16:53
What does it tell you about me as a person?
January 27, 2020 at 16:49
I don’t trust politicians as a matter of principle. As long as what Trump says is interesting and hilarious I’m fine with it. So no I do not trust Tru...
January 27, 2020 at 16:38
I do, yes. I don’t trust the GOP and do not understand why the McConnell does not want witnesses. A long senate trial effectively removes Warren, Klob...

If they only knew. It should be a part of early childhood education.
January 27, 2020 at 08:56
Navel-gazing, time wasted.
January 27, 2020 at 08:28
I love when you guys pat each other on the back. Very cute. No props for Relativist? He’s the only one making coherent arguments. If you need someone ...
January 27, 2020 at 07:23
No wagers from me. What I would question is the editorializing and lack of direct quotes of the manuscript itself. It takes faith to trust in a 3rd-ha...
January 27, 2020 at 06:03
The NYT publishes rumor as written by a go-to journalist for the DNC. Consider me shocked.
January 27, 2020 at 05:48
Let’s say you and I team up to affect democracy and the rule of law. Since we have de facto control over both, how would you and I go about doing that...
January 26, 2020 at 19:09
Voting is one thing, but to “simply elect someone” is quite another. You can’t “simply elect” your neighbor for instance. I’m only saying the private ...
January 26, 2020 at 18:32
The word “process” is a noun, but it is series of actions. These actions are reified into a noun. For instance the word “jog” can be used as a noun. “...
January 26, 2020 at 18:25
That’s clearly not true because it is not easy for any one private citizen to get someone elected or to get elected himself. Only the state has the po...
January 26, 2020 at 18:20
I’m mostly speaking about the positions and structures and not necessarily the various people who occupy them. Anyone who occupies those positions are...
January 26, 2020 at 18:02
I think he might mean that “life” and “consciousness” should not be nouns because they aren’t persons, places and things. I don’t think it is beyond r...
January 26, 2020 at 17:57
In English we differentiate between those who hold official power conferred by the state—judges, bureaucrats, police etc.—and those who don’t by using...

Let them eat cake.
January 26, 2020 at 17:37
One becomes a public official when he is in a position of official authority conferred by a state. A private citizen has no such power. I’m saying the...
January 26, 2020 at 17:28
Good explanation. It is a horrible idea. One can be technically wealthy but effectively poor and your farmer example is a good one. I feel the same wa...
January 26, 2020 at 17:18
I’m just writing simplistically. My point is that if the State or King never made these advantages available in the first place, others would be unabl...
January 26, 2020 at 17:04
We tend to blame the those at the upper echelons of the private sphere for having the means to acquire power through purchasing advantage. I think thi...

You don’t even know your own “fact checks”. Sorry, pal, but this isn’t going to work.
January 25, 2020 at 20:28
I already did, hence my rebuttal. I just want to see if you know your own “fact checks”.
January 25, 2020 at 20:20
You are unable to even name the persons who said otherwise. Give it a shot.
January 25, 2020 at 20:18
Your fact check is wrong.
January 25, 2020 at 20:16
Who says it’s not? Because they address that as well. Of course you’d have known this had you watched the arguments.
January 25, 2020 at 20:14
You’re being misled to believe piffle, friend. Go watch the arguments and try coming to your own conclusions.
January 25, 2020 at 20:11
Spin and nonsense 101.
January 25, 2020 at 20:08
Purpura‘s arguments lay it all out, and includes videos of each of those men saying so. But you would have known that had you watched it.
