Theory? Probable cause, or any derivative thereof, is a matter of law and human rights. It’s a part of due process. Please, show me the law that says ...

This is what Giuliani and Trump want investigated. You don’t want it investigated?
September 23, 2019 at 16:00
Why?

In both cases the elites and their acolytes and have taken it upon themselves to try to undo the democratic choices of the electorate. Even now, years...

You’d be surprised.
September 23, 2019 at 15:40
No, you don’t need to explain what “interactive” means. I can interact with a rock. It doesn’t mean the rock is “interactive”. As in your example, yes...
September 23, 2019 at 15:33
Where has it happened? That is an arbitrary arrest with no proper due process, which flies in the face of human rights laws throughout the world. If t...

I agree with 2 - 7, giving anonymous sources and you the full benefit of the doubt, though I still remain skeptical about them all. It’s not clear whe...

Good point. Hate speech laws are so poorly defined that it isn’t so much “hate speech” as it is “speech I hate”. Where did this occur? I’m always inte...

Looks like someone is living rent free in another’s head.
September 22, 2019 at 23:30
Not a contradiction. You or I reading or hearing an ad is us acting upon the ad, not the other way about.
September 22, 2019 at 23:28
Whataboutism? That’s convenient when your party and beloved candidates might be guilty of exactly that which you’ve been accusing others of being guil...
September 22, 2019 at 23:01
Yes, your ‘whistleblower’ doesn’t even have direct knowledge of Trump’s conversation, according to CNN. You guys have propped up DNC propaganda, consp...
September 22, 2019 at 22:54
Another lie. The topics of the threads are different. I bet you also pretend that that thread was about how law enforcement can arrest you without you...
September 22, 2019 at 22:49
There is no contradiction, unless you mind-numbingly assume, without evidence, that an ad’s “influence” is how it acts upon buyers.
September 22, 2019 at 22:46
You’re trying too hard, pal, and digging yourself into holes you can’t get out of. Try relaxing a bit and discussing the topic.
September 22, 2019 at 19:24
That thread topic was “Should hate speech be allowed”, genius.
September 22, 2019 at 19:20
That’s corruption. That’s exactly what Joe Biden is being accused of: firing the official that was investigating his son’s company. Not only that, but...
September 22, 2019 at 18:26
Suspected of what? Committing a crime. Don’t let the sophist’s casuistry convince you that you can be arrested without committing a crime. That’s arbi...
September 22, 2019 at 18:19
I don’t get it it. The alleged corruption would involve both Americans and Ukrainians. Does this not compute when viewed through the lens of the DNC n...
September 22, 2019 at 18:12
No, they’re not neutral. The state dept has to carry out the foreign policies of the administration. But they are completely relevant to the situation...
September 22, 2019 at 17:53
That would be a genetic fallacy, dismissing a report based on where it comes from and not on its merits. Is this how you avoid exculpatory evidence? I...
September 22, 2019 at 17:03
Yes, of course, people are more likely to show for a party if invited. I’m not denying that people are more likely to purchase a product or go to a pa...
September 22, 2019 at 16:18
You’re lying, as is evident by my reply. Not only a fool but a liar.
September 22, 2019 at 15:59
But the state department set up the meetings and assisted the efforts, and by some reports, encouraged Guilliani to investigate. https://www.nbcnews.c...
September 22, 2019 at 15:56
I think it goes without saying that people are more likely to purchase a product they know about than one they don’t. In that sense they are “influent...
September 22, 2019 at 03:50
There would be some value in listing the physical processes, “brain functioning terms”, and facts of biology involved in ideas such as “free will”, bu...
September 21, 2019 at 23:15
I’m aware of it in one thread, but it was admittedly off topic. I see no futility in it and in fact believe it is an important idea, for reasons I’ve ...
September 21, 2019 at 22:54
By creating this thread I was trying to limit it to one place. I wasn’t aware there were other threads on the topic.
September 21, 2019 at 22:42
It’s not the effect of advertising. Yes, people who know about a product are more likely to buy it. That’s a true statement, But the ad didn’t cause t...
September 21, 2019 at 22:38
Then tell me, which branch of the government has the most power in the field of international relations? I believe I know the answer, but am willing t...
September 21, 2019 at 22:29
Trump urged the Ukrainian president to work with Guilliani , who was being facilitated by the US State Dept. in his efforts. America wants to know if ...
September 21, 2019 at 22:26
Yes, the alleged corruption between Biden, then vice-president of the US, and his son was committed in and with Ukraine during the Obama administratio...
September 21, 2019 at 19:11
It seems to me prudent to want to investigate the possible corruption of the US government. Biden was the vice-president of the United States during w...
September 21, 2019 at 18:55
I already told you why but you suspiciously refused to quote it.
September 21, 2019 at 18:17
To be fair, I don’t know why the DNI didn’t disclose the memo. But I think there are at least 2 possible reasons why he didn’t do so. 1) because the D...

For posterity. The dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-of-arrest-your-rights
September 21, 2019 at 17:59
Expect in your country, which states the exact opposite.
September 21, 2019 at 17:49
Which country can you be arrested for not committing a crime, then?
September 21, 2019 at 17:48
What has been alleged?
September 21, 2019 at 17:47
What about in your country? https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-of-arrest-your-rights
September 21, 2019 at 17:45
Say it three times for posterity.
September 21, 2019 at 17:43
What did Trump do wrong? You said you don’t know. If you don’t know what Trump did wrong, how do you know he did something wrong? The Dems and their f...
September 21, 2019 at 17:41
What?
September 21, 2019 at 17:31
Even if that was true, what is the crime?
September 21, 2019 at 17:19
Accusations of what? What are they accusing him of? What is the crime?
September 21, 2019 at 17:10
The person I was responding to says it was “pretty impeachable stuff”. Nancy Pelosi says “If the president has done what has been alleged, then he is ...
September 21, 2019 at 17:05
Not much there, at least until the complaint is made public. I wonder if the possible corruption of Joe Biden will receive any coverage.
September 21, 2019 at 16:59
Did Trump do something wrong?
September 21, 2019 at 16:44
It looks like the Dems are inventing fake crimes (again) while Trump is investigating the real ones.
