I think that's fair. The GOP storming Schiff's kangaroo court seemed like an act of desperation. It looks like they're criticizing the process, which,...

That’s not true. Your word salads are nearly unreadable.

It seems to me that a constituent part is not conscious unless it is connected to the whole, in which case the whole would be conscious, not the part....

At no point did they tell the Trump campaign they were being infiltrated by Russian influence. Instead, they opened a spying operation on the campaign...

Tu quoque? Why are we feeding foreign meddler’s?

I do believe it is superficial, but obviously it is significant to many.

It’s also a matter of justice. If justice should be color blind, and we are to be just, we too must be color blind.

Ha. No. And I do not doubt that racial-injustices occur. My problem is with the taxonomy of race and looking at things through the lens of race. I bel...

It’s like saying bald men are 2.5 times more likely to be shot by police than men with hair. How can we address the problem without considering baldne...

No I mean race is assumed. The problem could be addressed by looking at each individual case rather than relying on race statistics, which automatical...

Thanks for the explanation. But this sounds to me to be an argument in favor of racial-colorblindness, that had the racists been color blind, all of i...

Exactly right. The media and DNC inundation of Trump/Russian collusion was based on that falsity from the get go. We don’t need the Mueller report or ...

If we group the victims of police shootings according to race it is almost a necessity that we will have varying results. But the race of the victim d...

John Brennan and James Clapper are proven liars. Peter Strozk and Lisa page we’re proven to be biased. Andy McCabe was proven to be a liar. These guys...

Look, I apologize for flippant responses. I do not have enough evidence to accurately say this is a hoax and criticism of my statement is valid. Yes, ...

The truth is Trump was innocent despite all claims and worries to the contrary. There was no Russian collusion, no conspiracy to defraud the US, no ob...

Do I have solid evidence that this charade was a malicious lie? No—we will find out soon enough. But we do have massive amounts of evidence that vast ...

There is no crime for collusion. That’s the hilarious part about it. I’ve already gone over the Mueller report, my criticisms of the investigation ad ...

That’s frightening. I don’t believe any of what the CIA says. As for the hoax, I will call it whatever I please. Do I have solid evidence that this ch...

So then why do you uncritically and blindly parrot the CIA and FBI? The problem is now they and their Russian investigation, their spying on American ...

The Mueller report is only a part of the Russia investigation. You really have no clue, do you?

I’ve been thinking a lot about pluralism in this metaphysical sense and have come to agree. Each thing is it’s own “substance”, it’s own “stuff”, by v...

I‘ve made no secret about voting for Trump and being a fan of Trump’s. A hoax implies the reasons to suspect wrongdoing were fabricated and passed off...

It looks like the Durham investigation is now turning into a criminal inquiry. This does not bode well for champions of the Russia hoax. Justice Dept....

One cannot be born with privilege anymore than one can be born with a trophy in his hand. Privilege is always granted, and it needs to be granted from...

Thanks for sharing. Even considering that much debt gives me butterflies in my stomach. And here I thought things were good. I think it should be adde...

Perhaps. At least the doom-mongering and fortune-telling of both the war hawks and their propagandists didn’t bear any fruit, as usual. But yes, those...

This cannot be a lie? Anyways, quibble about my use of terms all you want. I think leaving Syria is great progress. I remember asking how along the US...

I suppose the SDF general was lying, then. No, Trump’s sanctions and ceasefire deal were separate from Russia and Turkey’s pact.

Thank you for your lengthy contribution. Hopefully you do not think all that writing was in vain.

Even sooner for me. But it seems that all sides are at least happy with this development. If what Trump says is true, Turkey is finished with it’s ope...

In other Trump news, Trump has claimed progress in Syria, claiming a “permanent ceasefire” along the Turkish border. https://twitter.com/whitehouse/st...

Those reasons are explicit somewhere, but to paraphrase it had to do with national security, the integrity of the proceedings, and other glittering ge...

I think they’re wrong to storm the deposition, but right that this should be done in the open.

In a strange turn of events, House Republicans tried to storm Schiff’s secret court, demanding transparency. Politico

He isn’t conducting foreign policy. He’s defending his client, according to him. An opening statement is a far cry from a congressional testimony. Tak...

Not just any private citizen, but the defense lawyer of the president of the United States, who (perhaps ironically) at the time was under investigati...

That’s false. You pointed me to a previous event, regarding a different person, from a previous investigation, in which no one was found guilty of the...

Sorry, I don’t get the point.

Read my posts. I was not speaking about the Mueller report.

Knew about what?

When I said “zero evidence” I was saying it in regards to your question earlier, and my explicit answer: “If he withheld money for the purposes of fin...

According to Rudy he was doing it in his capacity as a defense lawyer, and it wasn’t, as I once assumed, in the capacity of the government. Rudy had g...

Exactly right, but De Toqueville’s arguments are, it seems, still prescient today.

Bill Taylor’s fears are evidence of Trump’s criminality? That does not constitute evidence of anything, except perhaps Taylor’s assumptions and fears....

For anyone interested, here is a great account of a debate regarding race and racism between Gobineau, arguably the father of white supremacy, and Ale...

You’re right, it’s not sufficient to combat racism as it exists in society, but it is at least sufficient to combat racism in ourselves and in our own...

I say it because judging people according to their race and not their character is a prerequisite to racism. I say it because race-consciousness and r...

If he was withholding aid money until he was assured that the Ukrainian leadership was going to work with current DOJ investigations, such as the Durh...

Well yes, preferential treatment for race groups is racism almost by definition. And it is a thing. Troll away Tim, but let me know when you can add a...
