These “democratic institutions” have grown sclerotic by way of social democracy. They would have died sooner had they not adopted economic liberalism,...

Not as bad as I thought. I feared the worst.

Clinton perjured himself in a lawsuit and was impeached because of it.

Lol I dont want to know

By all means, friend. I still won’t hold it against you when you finally realize that you’re in on the charade. There is no blind hatred here.

The IG report on FISA abuse is expected to drop tomorrow. It’s been a long time in the making. Most Trumpers are preemptively downplaying the report, ...

Oh is that right? Then why are you guys looking like you’d drink the cyanide koolaid to get him out of office. It’s a depraved moral panic and it puts...

I was actually saying it’s different than hysteria, that you’re engaging in a form of escapism. You, for instance, have zero stake in American politic...

I’ve come to believe it’s more live action role playing. They get to live out a fantasy of an oppressive force while at the same time remaining comple...

Jobs growth soars in November as payrolls surge by 266,000 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41ywRuWcMzL._SX398_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

No, there are no parallels beyond the fever dreams of those wedded to propaganda.

You made the claim and I should back it up for you...How old are you?

Tell us more about the parallels between Trump’s America and Nazi germany.

Like I said, a moral panic. Trump is their folk devil. It is with scary stories and promises of a coming terror that they justify their authoritariani...

What are the parallels to the 1930s? Is it the booming economy? The only parallels I see are to the various points of moral panic and mass hysteria.

That’s a good little racket. Keep saying fascism is coming and when it never arrives you can say you helped keep it at bay. Any time now...

Individual rights. Groups are always composed of individuals. Without individual rights there is no greater good.

He’s also a very litigious man. He will, or at least would, sue at the drop of a hat.

Right off the bat an anti-Trump talking point I’ve heard many times, even in this very thread—Had Trump done such and such with his money he’d be a lo...

Tax returns? The man paid $38m in 2005, more in one year than you or I would ever pay in 5 lifetimes. Most of his businesses? There are nearly 500 bus...

Fail at everything? He’s the most powerful man in the world. If that is failure I’d love to see what you consider success. He did it by showing they a...

I don’t see him like that at all. I just see him as Donald Trump, the same billionaire playboy we’ve known for decades. He’s as American as apple pie....

This is a very critical moment. I’m just of the mind that American politics needs eroding. We’re watching the death throes of the politically-correct,...

I agree. we’re always situated (I think that’s another term they use) in an environment. Simple notions such as “inside” or “up” would be impossible w...

Any reason why?

My guess is because it’s an unjust investigation and a fishing expedition. If he participates it increases the likelihood they’ll get him on process c...

I suppose I’ll have to read the arguments. The shore analogy doesn’t quite cut if for me. But I agree that there is no clear cut boundary between brai...

Written by some anti-Trumpers at the WSJ, yes. Poor job.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. The human skin is a surface given that the human organism does not extend beyond it.

Assuming the professor is Lakoff, take a Read of his book “Philosophy in the Flesh” if you get a chance. I think an organism has a boundary by virtue ...

The story about the troops was, according to trump and the pentagon, fake news. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1202791650726154240

Great point. Consciousness would need to permeate through the entire organism, beginning and ending at the surface of the skin. I would argue “conscio...

There they are in the report, in the public eye. None of that hand waving changes the fact that Schiff was using “secret subpoenas to obtain, and then...

I would say that. But I would argue investigating fellow members of the house, a journalist, and Trump’s personal attorney is a different activity tha...

The lack of outrage on Schiff’s subpoenaing the call records of the opposition, the president’s lawyer and a journalist is deafening, especially givin...

I’ll retract it then. Poor job.

Doing a poor job of it as well. No wonder you thought they were ridiculing Trump.

I said there was no insult or mockery because I looked at what they said.

Ha. Could be true. But the guilty party disputes the narrative and I cannot find any insulting language in the discussion, so...

They weren’t making fun of Trump. No discernible insult or mockery was recorded. Another media plot to disrupt Trump, and thus America, on the world s...

He was in Libya and Malta according to the suit, not Vienna as CNN reported. CNN reported that Parnas and Nunes were in contact around that time, whic...

According to OMB lawyers, withholding aid was legal so long as it was temporary.

For his own gain? Another presumption. For the 2020 election? Fabricated from thin air. Rather, Trump explicitly stated the reasons why he legally hel...

A favor? Oh my. Is it or is it not fair to ask a favor of someone you give weaponry and money to? Especially one of the most corrupt countries on the ...

Perhaps, but it’s even more silly to pretend there was a crime when the alleged victim says there wasn’t one. Zelensky said there was no pressure on v...

Good question. Socialist states and technocratic tinkering have been disastrous for the environment. Consider Chernobyl, the Aral Sea in the Soviet Un...

Yeah, you might be right. Barr’s supposed uncertainty of Horowitz’s conclusions has already led some Trumpers such as Hannity to preemptively dismiss ...

The entity is the self. The personality is the distinctive character of the self. Because of our first-person periphery most of the self lay hidden fr...

According to the NYT, it has to do with the genesis of the investigation: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/us/politics/barr-inspector-general-report...

The impeachment hearings will ramp up tomorrow after a brief rest. The hearing will be chaired by 14-term congressman Jerry Nadler. The White House is...
