Yes, while true believers were happy, even giddy, with the spying and costly investigations into American citizens because some Russian trolls dared t...

What I meant was your statement that what I mostly share is fox is false. Rather, I have mostly used sources that have been proven to employ DNC hacks...

Ownership is inextricably linked to property, which is an extension of our faculties. Property does exist whether it is abolished or not, because prop...

That’s false. I avoid Fox unless an interview has occurred there because I know this fallacy will come my way. I try to use sources that are acceptabl...

It was a neo-McCarthyite conspiracy theory. It won’t be long until they blame this one on the Russians.
November 25, 2019 at 16:44
Remember when Trump was a Russian agent?

People once reached a “shared understanding” about the geocentric Universe. Most people in this thread reached a “shared understanding” regarding Trum...

That’s quite the theory. https://miro.medium.com/max/1440/0*SxJshiJskqDkjPu9.jpg

Russian talking points? Perhaps you can give me an example of one.

Devon Nunes was recently under fire from CNN for allegedly meeting Ukrainians, as if doing so was illegal or inappropriate. This has led to Dems to ra...

Blind and wild accusations without evidence. This is par for the course in anti-Trumpist circles. All we have to do is look at the track-record to fin...

They each testified to their presumptions, sure, but not to any such fact. Surely they were convinced that he had such motivations just as you guys ar...
November 24, 2019 at 20:39
I’m not aware of Trump coercing anyone. The alleged victim, the Ukrainian president, has said on numerous occasions that no one pressured him. There i...

They aren’t opposed to welfare, per se, but that welfare must be a product of the government.

It is also common to under-emphasize situational explanations while over-emphasizing internal explanations for someone’s behavior. It’s a common bias....

About withholding aid, the legal issues are murky. Even Mulvaney was concerned about this. But there is no problem; Ukraine got the aid. Second, it wa...

It’s getting interesting. The entirety of that interview is worth the watch. https://youtu.be/u8WJtT3vINE
November 23, 2019 at 23:28
That’s an interesting way of looking at it. I suppose it helps when Burisma has your son on its board and is being payed 50000 a month for...well, I’m...

The one to watch is Guilliani. He is the epicenter of all this and he has been making some wild accusations. https://twitter.com/rudygiuliani/status/1...
November 23, 2019 at 19:34
Obviously Trump is under investigation here. There is an impeachment inquiry as we speak. I’m saying it’s a sham because of the process.
November 23, 2019 at 19:33
I have never said Biden fired a prosecutor to protect his son. I have only mentioned the conflict of interest of Hunter Biden being brought on the boa...
November 23, 2019 at 19:15
Why wouldn’t you quote the whole thing? Unless you consider the context irrelevant.
November 23, 2019 at 18:21
Unless you can find one time Trump expressed the desire to “damage a political rival and help his re-election campaign”, you are dealing with presumpt...
November 23, 2019 at 18:15
Oh dear, quote-mining for the purposes of slander. That’s so unlike you guys. Oh, look, someone believed it. That’s so untypical.
November 23, 2019 at 18:10
So no personal gain. So the only investigations into political opponents is the inquiry into Trump, correct?
November 23, 2019 at 18:00
Sure, if that is the case, you might be able to explain what “personal gain” Trump acquired.
November 23, 2019 at 17:56
Which investigation of the Bidens are you talking about? Ukraine got the aid, so which investigation in particular was it conditioned upon?
November 23, 2019 at 17:55
Guilliani’s efforts were about the ongoing investigations into Burisma, not investigations of the Bidens. There are no such investigations into the Bi...
November 23, 2019 at 17:49
No one is investigating Biden, nor has anyone held aid for any investigation into the Bidens. That’s why this impeachment hoax is so silly.
November 23, 2019 at 16:10
I think you’re right about stories. I suppose history isn’t so much a cataloging of events as it is an understanding of concrete human artifacts, the ...
November 23, 2019 at 07:11
I appreciate that, friend. But it’s all good. I don’t mind it!
November 23, 2019 at 06:31
Burisma is a Ukrainian company. So any investigation regarding Burisma pertains to that company and those who work there. But if they were to discover...

I have a special place in my heart for polemics and the argumentative style, a la Swift or Voltaire. I also love argument, rhetoric and disputation fo...

The impeachment show trial is over. Some quick thoughts. What we learned beyond what we already knew is that insubordination exists at the highest lev...

But they’re patriots worried about the country! They have no ulterior motives at all!

Exactly. Your superstitions in a nutshell.
November 21, 2019 at 17:38
I haven’t alleged any conspiracy. I have only alleged it is a clear conflict of interest that deserves investigation. I hold the same view of Hunter’s...

It’s a corrupt company that payed the son of that candidate over $50,000 a month while that candidate was vice-president of the US and the point man i...

Probably some sort of intrusive examination of the body while it is fully conscious. Who knows, one day we might be able to do so.
November 21, 2019 at 17:17
Keep believing that black cats are bad luck in order to remember how badly we treated black cats.
November 21, 2019 at 17:15
Surely announcing criminal corruption investigations into a candidate would hurt that candidate’s campaign. Knowingly refusing to do investigations be...

“Consciousness” (I reject the term) remains unexplainable for the simple reason that our eyes point outward, and it is unethical to do certain experim...

That’s not true, he does care about torture when our enemies do it. Perhaps torture is their just deserts. Trump never wants to take anything off the ...

Uh, yeah. I even quoted it.

He needs to go, for what reason?

Trump wants to do what the American people want? What a tyrant! But as for the mind reading, your assumption of people’s motives and desires and inten...
November 20, 2019 at 22:49
I think it would. If we were to devise a "treatise" it would help to be careful with the use of terminology.
