I'll let you know if a disparaging view ever makes sense. Until then the over-use of figurative language to describe states of affairs is inadequate a...

According to a special counsel investigation Joe Biden willfully and knowingly stole classified documents, even some Ukraine documents that he lifted ...

Yikes. Biden stole classified documents and gets off. Never did he have the unilateral declassification powers a president had. A former president who...

If you can injure someone with words, why wouldn't you demonstrate it? Because it's tantamount to sorcery.

They are not random words. I create them and organize them at my own discretion. But the sounds and marks themselves are without meaning. One simply c...

There is always an excuse.

Your contradictions are not in fact contradictions. The fact that I deny words have meaning does not contradict that I mean something by using them. C...

Perhaps you can demonstrate. Inflict upon me the greatest injury by using your words.

The word “Influence” and its various synonyms are words I’m going to try and avoid from here on out, if such a feat is possible. Perhaps if we recogni...

I never claimed it supported any of my claims. I merely used the quote as an example. The issue is what I wrote about in the OP. You haven’t touched a...

I understand your claim I’m just not sure I agree with it. I did not find Socrates’ arguments persuasive. What’s not to understand? Sure, that is also...

I’m not so sure of that. At any rate, I was only pointing out the arguments Socrates was making, and they were wholly unpersuasive. I’ve never said wo...

Believing is the power of a believer, not words. I never said they were unawares of their beliefs. I said “Men are able to use argument in order to st...

“Influence”. I wrote about this word and detailed its etymology. I’m trying to avoid the use of it because the sense of its definition is figurative a...

Why blame me and not your words? Perhaps because you realize you are not the agent of persuasion in the formation and defense of mine or any one else’...

Are you using words or making them? You use your mouth or fingers to create them, certainly, but beyond that this is where your relationship with them...

I neither asked nor said that it came from Latin. I said that it can be traced to latin. You said "Nuh uh". But the etymology proves unequivocally tha...

The entire field of consciousness is pseudoscience. At best it's folk psychology; at worst it's superstition. I wager that physicalist explanations wi...

Nicely put. I would also the 16th amendment to your list. It relegates plunder and forced labor to a legitimate act of government.

That's the gist of it. In my view, rhetoric in general promotes the magical idea, that speakers are like sorcerers, and I think this underlying belief...

You don’t think the word “inspire” can be traced back to the Latin word “inspirare”?

There is nothing to echo. Through their grift they reveal their own malfeasance. That’s one thing. But another is that Anti-Trumpism is a license for ...

I’m quite looking forward to climate change. I’m not sure what all the doom and gloom is about, but anything that keeps us in the The Holocene is righ...

Fanny Willis is corrupt. End of story. But it’s a common thread throughout the anti-Trump movement. They reveal themselves to have no moral standing a...

Not a fan.

Never heard of it.

Close enough.

I am absolutist in that regard.

He spoke. You don’t like what he says. The eternal desire to shut him up is the sine qua non of anti-Trumpism. His voice—or at least, the excerpts cho...

All I know is there is no evidence, just like what you claim to know about Trump. I just disagree with your method of believing things without the evi...

If Trump was buying drugs and prostitutes and engaging in high-level corruption it would be deserving of scrutiny, because all that is criminal activi...

Yes, he's been accused of sexual assault, and all during his foray into politics. I think it is relevant that these sorts of accusations magically app...

The persecution is wild on this one. Democrat Anti-Trump law-makers invented a law with her in mind. Gave her a year-long window to sue. No evidence o...

The indictments are a consequence of a two-tiered justice system and politically-motivated prosecutors. There is no evidence of any crime; there are n...

I was just trying to make the point that appealing to law is fallacious. You made an effort to point out to me that laws were broken by rioters, and n...

Here I thought we were talking about law. Sorry, but the declarations of the UK, France, and Russia do not represent “international law”. I suppose yo...

They invented the law after the fact in order to prosecute the Nazis for a crime. They were violating no law. Therefor what they did was fine, correct...

Clearly I was speaking about his crimes against humanity, which were not crimes. That their actions weren’t illegal or that they were just following o...

That’s right. I answered your question. I can’t find that they broke any laws. Hitler never broke any laws either, so appealing to law is a grave stup...

You asked what laws were broken in the coup I mentioned.

I'm not sure any laws were broken. The CIA, the FBI, the media, the DNC, have the lawful power to defraud the country, to investigate their political ...

I do. I’m not making a case; I’m just sharing my beliefs. Besides, you and I have litigated the evidence and reasoning already, and the consistent app...

She’s resorting to insults. But that’s OK. The evidence affords greater weight to my characterization than yours, and history will correct the record.

It was far worse. They tried to frame the democratically-elected president for treason and waged a years-long coup based on Clinton campaign conspirac...

Objecting to certification was exactly what congressional democrats did in 2017.

Fair enough

Your snark doesn’t change the fact you removed most of his argument and filled it with your own assumptions. That’s the way propaganda works, and I wa...

Did you not say this? “Trump believes suspension of "all rules, regulations and articles... of the constitution" is justified.” Is this a full direct ...
