They’ve been trying to impeach the president before he took office. I suspect they’ve chosen this time because their ability to win the next election ...

The problem with values and value systems is that they are often internally contradictory. I think some form or other of compromise suffices. Perhaps ...

I wrote it as clear as I could, but if you say the moon is made out of cheese and I say it is not made out of cheese we have a contradiction. In order...

We can contradict a statement by merely stating it’s opposite. To solve it we’d need to determine whether the statement or its contradiction are true.

That would be a false sense of security. Any mob, religious or not, can and has torn apart the innocent on a whim.

Right, so they seem more worried about the politics and not justice. I don’t think you’re wrong on that one though I would say this has been a partisa...

Human labor has been replaced by machine-labor for quite some time now, at least since the industrial revolution. As old work perishes new work is bor...

What misbehavior? You guys keep saying he did something wrong.

I’m not going to explain to you how sanctions are more effective than hashtags and Guardian articles.

False, I said it was far more effective than any anti-Trump virtue signalling. I never said “effectiveness” so your use of quotes is a fabrication. ht...

The point of the Global Magninski Act is to deny individuals entry into the US, allow the seizure of any of their property held in the country, and ef...

One far more effective than any anti-Trump virtue signalling, but sure.

The US response to the Kashoggi murder was appropriate. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-bans-16-saudi-individuals-u-s-role-khashoggi-n992311 ~T...

As I’ve pointed out his standing up to Chinese totalitarianism is one of the biggest for me. For instance he signed into law the Hong Kong Human Right...

He always touts freedom and fairness and justice in his speeches. A good one would be his UN speech. https://youtu.be/fQXgCcmgav0

Justice and liberty, as I said earlier. Perhaps it is you who doesn’t understand plain English.

I think the ethos of the country is important and meaningful. I’m explaining why I believe Trump’s presidency is a good one in that regard. Why is it ...

What do you want to know? I’ve already answered your questions and I’m willing to justify my answers. If you could make your concerns explicit I could...

You suspect wrongly, and I’ve already stated my beliefs.

The American experiment is a colloquial term for the founding of the United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I mean the p...

There would be no “when” because there is no beginning or end to infinity. I’m prone to think a symbolic representation of infinity suggests finitude,...

I think the United States is the brightest beacon of liberty in the world and Trump is making it brighter. The Statue of Liberty, the American flag an...

He has pointed the country in the direction of those principles and reignited the American experiment. I truly believe this.

For Americans in general. The standard I apply most is justice and liberty, but also includes the economy, defense and politics. But not only that its...

I don’t see how it is possible that a person can be both the world and inhabit the world at the same time. He is either the world or the inhabitant.

The IG report found 17 failures at the highest levels of the FBI. Mueller mentioned zero of them. Eventually we’ll find out whether it was corruption ...

Giuliani is going off-the-wall insane, suggesting that not only was Shokin fired, but also poisoned! https://twitter.com/rudygiuliani/status/120629092...

He’s doing a great job. It’s hard to believe how much time we’ve wasted hiring politically-correct lawyers to run a country, when we should have been ...

None taken.

If you’re ever bored read through these Reddit threads. They are anecdotes of people who have worked for him or have met him. If what they say is true...

Yet with all your bluster you have not produced a single evil act.

The Great Scapegoat. Blame him for everything; give him credit for nothing. But as far as we know the worst he’s ever done is said things you don’t li...

I oppose bigotry and injustice and I champion liberty and free thought. I wouldn’t make a good Nazi in that respect. Since you understand the nature o...

Identity politics in general is a sort of essentialism, insofar as people are deemed this or that based on some superficial, phenotypical characterist...

Let me know when they fawn over a teenager and become activists in her name.

Perhaps, but I understand the nature of snobbery, arrogance and sanctimony, which is what your little diatribes amount to.

Only one group is screaming “apocalypse” while glueing themselves to buildings and streets.

Fair enough. To some he’s a folk hero. To other’s he’s a folk devil. The reality is somewhere in between.

Congress passed a law in 1995 called the Jerusalem Embassy Act, wherein the embassy was supposed to be moved to Jerusalem by 1999. So by the standards...

Of course I never asked what the SNP ran on. And I know you don’t have magical powers

Yeah, I think it’s the latter. The standard of a politician was too high that to attempt to live up to it becomes quickly absurd. It leads to the publ...

That’s fair. Personally I refuse to judge his presidency until the entirety of it is apparent.

Because we love wisdom and it’s articulation. There is a certain beauty in it.

Yeah I figured it was irony born in the toxic nether-regions of the Internet. I don’t think he rises to the level of corruption. I think it’s more tha...

Oh, you know the reasons why people voted the way they did? I don’t claim to so that’s why I’m raising the question. But I’d love to hear it.

I guess the question is whether people voted for SNP to have another referendum or did so in order to give a big middle finger to Labour.

Unfortunately it gets worse. There is a meme of Trump as God-Emporer, GEOTUS. I think it’s a joke, at least I hope it is.

I guess they chose Brussels over their own country. What a shame.

It’s why they taught the trivium before the quadrivium in classical education. One needs the requisite understanding in order to grasp the more compli...

Congrats to everyone in the UK!!
