If I wanted to steal a bunch of items but didn't would you try to convict me for theft?
November 20, 2019 at 19:40
That would be assuming corrupt intent without evidence. That's a dangerous and unjust game to play, especially when there is no such announcement nor ...

I don't accept that it was on condition of political benefit or to influence an election.
November 20, 2019 at 17:58
No, I do not accept that the aid was held back on the condition of a political favor.

The he said/she said doesn’t really matter in the absence of any high crime and misdemeanors. What is the high crime and misdemeanors?
November 20, 2019 at 17:42
- Donald Trump according to Sondland.
November 20, 2019 at 17:24
I don’t mind the speculation, but there is a lot of mind-reading involved in your screed. I’ll dismiss much of it as just that, but I can tell you at ...

I do not recall rectificatory, but the other two I do.
November 20, 2019 at 07:39
It’s been a while but yes I have.
November 20, 2019 at 07:34
You appealed to authority and then didn’t like it when I point out that authority also defends slavery.
November 20, 2019 at 07:21
I was defending Trump’s efforts to get Mexico to pay for it.
November 20, 2019 at 07:20
Mexico sends nearly 15,000 troops to the US border “ The deployments come after renewed pressure from the Trump administration on Mexico to help slow ...
November 20, 2019 at 07:19
Is that all you can do? Misrepresent my argument then pose it back to me in the form of a question? I’m just saying that Mexico is paying for American...

You said he was the first advocate of social justice, as if that meant something. I merely replied that he also defended slavery.
November 20, 2019 at 06:56
We should be asking Congress if any of them can point to Donbas on a map. American diplomats saying the Donbas is important for America is like saying...
November 20, 2019 at 05:31
He also defended slavery!
November 20, 2019 at 05:20
Another nothing-burger day for the impeachment inquiry. All we have is the insubordination of unelected bureaucrats. Instead of resigning, they leaked...
November 20, 2019 at 03:06
Mexico is paying for it. I said “people who would rather not think about politics”. You said “all Trump supporters”. Not even close.
November 20, 2019 at 03:03
Sure it does. The actions by the Mexican governments are directly contributing to lower illegal immigration over the border, saving American’s money a...
November 19, 2019 at 16:06
It turns out the nominalists were right. Ideas are as fragile as the parchment they’re written on. They are carried in our artifacts, not in some othe...
November 18, 2019 at 23:26
I think the assumption of a “negative ethics” is the problem to begin with, because “not bringing about negative experiences” seems to me to be the sa...

I agree that the idea of self ownership is flawed. The self cannot own itself anymore than it can possess itself.
November 18, 2019 at 20:07
The idea of a static rich and poor is quite mistaken. In free market countries people move between different income brackets over the course of their ...
November 18, 2019 at 16:38
Again, the equivocating is silly. If you overstay a visa you’ve gone through the necessary security points and shown documents. If you hop a border yo...
November 17, 2019 at 19:39
My point was that each individual, no matter how you classify them, knows what’s in his best interests better than some aloof technocrat who spent his...
November 17, 2019 at 18:46
Mexico is doing quite a bit along the border. They recently sent 15,000 troops there to slow northern migration at great expense. Sure they aren’t han...
November 17, 2019 at 18:36
But the “common man” knows what’s best for himself is my point. The idea that people vote against their best interests is, as you said, snobbery. The ...
November 17, 2019 at 17:46
It is sort of a meaningless phrase. Justice suffices enough to address injustice. The “social” aspect is the problem, as social inequalities are not a...
November 17, 2019 at 17:31
Simple English doesn’t make sense to you? Yikes.
November 17, 2019 at 17:08
And you’re ignorant, so I’m not worried at all.
November 17, 2019 at 17:01
Who claims to know what is best for these people? The “elites”. The “Davos man”. The elites, of course, live no where near these people, nor hardly in...
November 17, 2019 at 16:59
That’s the problem I’ve been speaking about during the entirety of my participation in this thread: the word-policing, the consideration of the presid...
November 17, 2019 at 16:50
That’s fair. Americans often do take offence to president bashing, especially from people who live in countries that benefit from American protection,...
November 16, 2019 at 04:17
Taylor affirmed no such quote because no one said “I want Zelensky in a public box”. So we can quote it properly, or not at all. What we cannot do is ...
November 16, 2019 at 03:57
Now the president of Ukraine is lying...
November 15, 2019 at 23:44
All of that is a complete fabrication with zero evidence. Pizzagate indeed.

What is the misdemeanor?
November 15, 2019 at 23:16
Impeachment is supposed to be used in the rare occasion that high crimes and misdemeanors are committed. So what is the crime?
November 15, 2019 at 23:11
Repeating the Clinton line. Alt-facts.
November 15, 2019 at 23:06
Lying to Congress. One minute it’s “case closed” the next it’s “oh but it was about a blowjob”.
November 15, 2019 at 23:04
We know what the Mueller was investigating and why crossfire hurricane was spying on American citizens—Russian attempts to influence the election and ...
November 15, 2019 at 23:03
Clinton was acquitted. More evidence of a two-tiered justice system.
November 15, 2019 at 22:53
A blatant fishing expedition. A man will face years in prison because he made mistakes during the process of an investigation of which there is no und...
November 15, 2019 at 22:23
I’m not sure why anyone should forget this “old stuff”, but I’m also not sure why anyone would want to employ the same race-thinking as their racist f...
November 15, 2019 at 21:28
All of which occurred during the previous administration. But instead of investigating apprehending the culprits, they spied on, investigated and pros...
November 15, 2019 at 21:23
7 process crimes, zero for anything to do with Russian collusion, even though that is what we were sold. That’s American justice for you.
November 15, 2019 at 20:48
I didn’t ask you anything, but whatever.
November 15, 2019 at 17:45
You’re assuming, without evidence, that the state apparatus was used for personal gain in both cases. Except Biden is the only one with the conflict o...
November 15, 2019 at 17:32
There is no evidence that Trump is seeking dirt, nor that he is trying to influence any election. That part is completely fabricated. Both Trump and B...
