Nice thinking. I think you’re right about “human feeling”, much of what I believed is derived from embodied experience. It’s like we’ve started AI in ...
May 12, 2024 at 22:15
I didn’t ask a question. I made arguments that contradict the main tenets of Bragg’s flimsy legal theory. Trump never wrote nor directed his controlle...
May 12, 2024 at 19:27
Yes. Are you thick? You didn’t ask me a damn thing. And for the reasons I stated, which you refuse to address, the idea that this was to prevent damag...

She did indeed lie. The reasons I already stated, which you have not addressed, has all the bearing needed to contradict the allegations.
May 12, 2024 at 18:43
She comes off as a money-grubbing, lying, and crazy extortionist to the jury. By the way, you never asked a question.
May 12, 2024 at 18:14
Name-calling is entirely appropriate. But anti-Trumpists uncritically reserve themselves the right to call people names while at the same time critica...

The cope is real. Frothing over a brilliant tweet from a couple years ago (which also shows Daniel’s admitting to violating a court order), the anti-T...

No, but Tony Bobulinski testifying in front of congress does. A set of facts consistent to the theory. That’s right. And you have a set of statements ...
May 09, 2024 at 16:30
I’d be weary of such claims because any appeal to the “greater good” implies knowledge that isn’t immediately accessible. It implies knowledge that su...

It’s either that or they’re completely incompetent, neither of which is good for your truckling.
May 08, 2024 at 22:17
My claim was based on congressional testimony. Circumstantial evidence is evidence, as far as I'm concerned. It's not my fault you are unable to infer...
May 08, 2024 at 20:14
Plausible deniability. Works every time, according to the Biden’s. Taking everything at face value is not evidence either. But the question as to why ...

The welfare state, too, largely began as a conservative project. These and other examples lead me to believe conservatism is often the hand-maiden of ...
May 08, 2024 at 16:34
That’s inaccurate. It was multiple errors. The appeals court described as an “abuse of judicial discretion”, essentially denying him the right to a fa...

Judge Cannon torpedoed the illegitimately appointed Jack Smith’s case indefinitely. After Smith’s team was busted tampering with the evidence, this be...

They are now litigating Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels in this show-trial. This guy is in the courtroom live-tweeting the testimony: https...
May 07, 2024 at 17:12
Harvey Weinstein’s case was just overturned because the judge could not be just. It simply means they’re interfering with Trump’s campaign, and thus t...
May 07, 2024 at 15:48
If it does get overturned it will be because it’s an unjust and stupid case that will discredit the American justice system for years to come. The lea...
May 07, 2024 at 14:35
I am aware humans grow and age, and that I am not identical to myself as I was three years ago. The physical facts and properties change but I do not ...
May 07, 2024 at 14:19
I’m talking about human beings, which are not vague, blurry sets of whatever. I happen to identify as one. What further facts do you require? I though...
May 06, 2024 at 21:02
Nope. It’s a novel legal theory with no precedent and full of holes. This is election interference, political persecution, a Biden campaign strategy, ...

Another misdemeanor with a two-year statute of limitations. Here we are 8-years later. This whole case is the real crime.
May 06, 2024 at 19:40
Yes, I've read the indictment. What's missing is the alleged other crime. There is none. Both the DOJ and the FEC examined the case and no charges wer...
May 05, 2024 at 22:13
Paine's Common Sense is worth a read if you're ever bored. I think what you write is true. And the distinction between the two is becoming less and le...
May 05, 2024 at 21:02
Very true. Buying votes with promises is one means to edge out the other guy. But really the only reason people vote is for astronomical reasons, beca...
May 05, 2024 at 19:43
Now you're speaking my language. Thomas Paine wrote that writers tend to confound Society and Government, as if the two were one and the same, so I ap...
May 05, 2024 at 18:49
Of course you disagree. It's enough for me to know that you're now finally informed of the matter.
May 05, 2024 at 18:39
The group in control is always the state. There are only two classes of people worth pondering: the state and the rest of us.
May 05, 2024 at 18:27
You read more Fox news than I do. Have you never heard of the phrase "hatchet man"? It surprised me too that I had to learn about the conflict of inte...
May 05, 2024 at 18:22
In my opinion it would be a state whose only concern is to protect natural rights and provide equal access to justice. In one it could be you; in the ...
May 05, 2024 at 18:05
Well, I think every system is capitalist. The only thing that differs between them is who they believe should control capital. But yes, I think any sy...
May 05, 2024 at 17:59
I was talking about the individuals in the communities you mentioned. Let them organize and live however they wish. I wasn't saying you were getting i...
May 05, 2024 at 17:47
Sure they can. It's easy. Just stop getting in their way.
May 05, 2024 at 17:12
That's great. Then nothing needs to be implemented but the freedom to do it.
May 05, 2024 at 17:03
No problem, pal. Yes, I’ve heard of voting. Isn’t that what educated people do? I learned about Colangelo from the New York Times and Merchan’s daught...
May 05, 2024 at 16:10
Me too. I wonder if the absence of a middle voice in English completely alters our understanding of the ancient Greek texts. I suppose it does. Would ...
May 05, 2024 at 03:26
I’m with you. So what is stopping us? Why don’t we just organize, find some like minded people, and implement our philosophy by living it and doing it...
May 05, 2024 at 00:58
If an evil person is someone who acts immorally and wickedly, they need to act immorally and wickedly, and thinking just doesn’t rise to that level as...
May 03, 2024 at 21:20
I don't think so. I think that to believe thoughts can be described as evil is the result of a superstition of language. I say this because thinking i...
May 03, 2024 at 20:23
It is true. Not only that but it’s a made up crime that no one has ever been charged with. They have to make up crimes in order to feed their fantasy ...
May 03, 2024 at 17:48
I think you’re right about that. Education is never impartial; it often represents the beliefs and desires of the people and institutions that provide...
May 03, 2024 at 16:21
I laughed. A mixture of soy and political dopamine fuels the rage. One thing you won’t find is any principle.
May 03, 2024 at 16:02
Bragg’s current prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, previously served as acting associate attorney general in Biden’s Justice Department and also led New Y...
May 03, 2024 at 15:55
I don’t really care about your fee-fees. So maybe we can dispense with them. I do not hold a further fact view about identities.
May 03, 2024 at 05:37
I don’t care whether you’re interested or not. I note only that you have not provide any counter. Your objection, as far as it was legible, I could no...
May 03, 2024 at 05:29
I’ll just reiterate the point to which you replied. So far no determinist has shown that any act or choice was determined by anything else, and until ...
May 03, 2024 at 03:51
You can give me any example you like. Does anything else in the universe determine an agent’s actions? What prior causes? What causes are you speaking...
May 03, 2024 at 03:34
Is there some other cause besides you that raised your arm? As I mentioned, the determinist ought to be able to say what else besides the agent caused...
May 03, 2024 at 00:10
The foundation is the biology, which can be experienced from all perspectives. But from the first-person perspective most of it remains invisible, thu...
May 02, 2024 at 17:34
Maybe it’s relevant for indirect realists and dualists of all types, no doubt, but my relevant concern is why they’re begging the question, why they p...
