I’m speaking about those specific charges. Both threatened to withhold aid (well, no evidence Trump did, but he is accused of it nonetheless), and did...

It is a strange obsession, and I would go so far as to say this is the remnants and continuation of institutional and systematic racism. In universiti...

Well, he wasn’t. He even gets to brag about his alleged offences while campaigning for office.

Let’s test it out. Here’s Biden regarding withholding 1 billion loan securities from Ukraine. “ I looked at them and said: 'I’m leaving in six hours. ...

There is no quote that says "I want him in a public box". I just gave you sworn testimony of direct conversation with president Trump where Trump clea...

Be careful, you’re making up quotes and attributing them to someone who never said them. That was something expressed by Taylor, quoting Sondland who ...

To return it back to the topic, the criticism of color-blindness in particular is also a criticism of liberalism in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/...
November 14, 2019 at 19:25
It’s debatable, sure. My main point was that libertarianism as it is known today is a valid school of thought and in fact not something that everyone ...
November 14, 2019 at 19:19
The point of the issue was that the core principles of liberty is largely absent from other schools of thought. It is central to classical liberalism,...
November 14, 2019 at 19:13
And in those entries it says: Oh look, liberals started calling themselves libertarian, and not because they traded world views, but because the word ...

Not just the Nordic welfare system, but welfare states in general. I’m thinking also Canada, Japan, Australia, the UK.
November 14, 2019 at 18:10
But its guiding principle—liberty—is not bullshit. Of course people want liberty, but the efforts of libertarian thought is how to build a society gui...
November 14, 2019 at 17:58
Is there any correlation between welfare states and monarchies? The universal support for such policies could be explained by a sense of unity brought...

Prosecuted by a foreign government? No one asked for such a thing. In fact, Trump asked the president of Ukraine to speak with our Attorney General re...

It’s more like I want people to stop fellating the privileged ivory towers of American academe, where most of this drivel comes from. Is it really tha...
November 14, 2019 at 16:25
It certainly would. Do you believe potential corruption in Ukraine should not be investigated because one of the named figures is running in an electi...
November 14, 2019 at 05:43
There is plenty of denying that the military aid was about winning points in the domestic election. There was no mention of wanting political dirt, or...

I love how only my statements receive your criticism while everyone else's are pushed aside and covered for.
November 13, 2019 at 22:01
Schiff’s assertion that Trump did such and such to “help his political campaign” is still without evidence, even after the Dems brought out their star...
November 13, 2019 at 21:17
Well done. You mined my quote and cherry picked six words from a 42 word statement. Let's see, one or two outlets...fair point... any Guardian article...

\ It does work, just as it does with any superstition. Those who no longer believe in witches will likely no longer burn people for witchcraft. This i...

I'm not sure if that quality can apply to existing things, for infinite object would have no beginning or end and would take up the entirety of space ...

It’s been postulated that Ciaramella is the whistleblower that started this whole mess. I believe Facebook and YouTube censors anyone who mentions his...

You waste your great writing in the service of tyranny and injustice. As such they are empty and without value. What a shame.
November 13, 2019 at 17:22
The show trial begins. The Dems are immediately abusing the impeachment process for the purposes of influencing the 2020 election and to cover up Bide...
November 13, 2019 at 16:45
I enjoyed reading all that. Well written and argued. Just as a remark, it appears the word “thing” is the most common and general classification of ex...

One thing about this administration is the certainty of anyone associated with it ending up on the book circuit hawking their screeds. It’s almost ine...

It’s base tribalism at this point. New political identities and ideologies are emerging and with them their ready-made list of tribesman and enemies.
November 12, 2019 at 22:58
I’m merely stating my belief. I don’t need to accept what you have yet to prove. “Conscious” is an adjective describing organisms, in our case, the hu...
November 12, 2019 at 22:04
All is still there, except we would be looking at the world instead of trying to look inward. There is a reason our eyes point out of our body.
November 12, 2019 at 21:58
I think it should be said that consciousness is a direct one-to-one ratio with the body, and any discussion about consciousness is a discussion about ...
November 12, 2019 at 21:52
The thing about social media is how anti-social it is, and this to me this is more evidence of that. In every case of social media use, the person is ...
November 12, 2019 at 21:44
That’s an uncharitable accounting of my views. I explicitly stated that all other racisms arise from this one belief. And I’m not the only one who rec...
November 12, 2019 at 21:10
But by the same token the agnostic should also remain agnostic about his agnosticism. Given that I am a limited being with limited knowledge I cannot ...
November 12, 2019 at 20:59
I commend you for giving it a listen and coming to your own conclusions. The world needs more of that. I assumed most outside of Trump’s base wouldn’t...
November 12, 2019 at 20:11
Thanks. The only disjoint is your false interpretation and subsequent misrepresentation of my argument. It’s all there in black and white.
November 11, 2019 at 18:39
This is untrue. The rest of your errors arise from this one error, and simply repeating it isn’t going to make it any more true.
November 11, 2019 at 18:00
I’m not aware of any of them preaching fear of foreigners. Perhaps you’ve misinterpreted or misrepresented what they actually say.
November 11, 2019 at 17:32
I explicitly stated why I said I thought it was “racist”, but this explanation doesn’t fit into your specious mind-reading. So why the bad faith? Why ...

Populism is more a politics of the dichotomy between the elite and the people, no matter their political leanings. I don’t think it can last because o...

It is essentially theological fence-sitting. But it is a form of dogma. An agnostic must first believe, without evidence, that a god is possible befor...
November 11, 2019 at 16:40
Clearly you’re a liar because I’ve already stated why I said that. Add on top of that the fake moderate approach, clearly you’re a concern troll.

There are no biological races. But people believe there are. They often believe skin color or other racial markers are evidence of cultural difference...

Whether we can know whether god exists or not is something we should remain agnostic about.
November 08, 2019 at 23:08
I fully agree. It doesn’t make any sense. The whole idea of attaching significance to this or that biological grouping for taxonomical, identity or ev...
