His words explicitly and directly say something else than what you’ve consistently claimed it does, namely, “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitud...

Of course he’s talking about election fraud. What I’m wondering is how you can get from this quote: To this assumption regarding his motives: “Trump w...
January 23, 2024 at 00:06
I’m just wondering how one gets from what is quoted to “Trump wants to suspend the constitution” or “Trump calls for the termination of the constituti...

Your whole schtick is stoicism but I can only read rank emotion. At any rate, I apologize for sending you off into clown world.
January 22, 2024 at 23:29
Your problem is the contextomy. P2 ought to be: Trump believes “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, re...
January 22, 2024 at 23:28
Just follow your imagination. Works every time.
January 22, 2024 at 23:09
In praxis’ defense I left out the .amp out of the link.
January 22, 2024 at 22:48
Massive fraud allowing for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution is a far cry from Trump wanti...
January 22, 2024 at 22:44
This is contextomy. It would be proper to quote in full instead of picking and choose which words you want to include and fill in the blanks with your...
January 22, 2024 at 22:25
They’re provable lies, I’m afraid, and on a level that makes newspeak look like child’s-play. But that’s the sort of discourse we’re forced to deal wi...
January 22, 2024 at 22:09
They’re not only plainly false, they’re obvious lies. And they follow the same pattern of propaganda, namely, “contextomy”.
January 22, 2024 at 22:01
They’re complete lies. These sorts of lies are just another reason people are abandoning the sinking ship that is establishment politics. But the lies...
January 22, 2024 at 21:45
I don’t see any of that. I don’t know what to tell you.
January 22, 2024 at 19:17
What subscription?
January 22, 2024 at 19:04
I clicked on a link and read the article. Maybe you’re at your Fox News limit.
January 22, 2024 at 18:49
I was refuting the claim that Trump brought it all on himself, which is absurd because one can never bring charges on himself. Prosecutors bring charg...

Nope.

House Jan. 6 Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority: sources I wonder what they’re trying to hide? https://www....

Stealing someone’s taxes and releasing it to a partisan press is a huge violation of privacy. Thankfully the charade dispelled a host of myths that we...

Removing their opponents from the ballot, indicting their opponents during an election, altering voting laws beneath the noses of the voter, flooding ...
January 19, 2024 at 18:03
It’s just not the case that he brought it on himself. Many of the people indicting him campaigned on doing so. They brought it on him, and not because...

He had indicated earlier that he had already made up his mind, that it was only a question of when he’d announce. A month later they raid Mar-a-lago. ...
January 19, 2024 at 00:03
He announced his campaign months before the first indictment.
January 18, 2024 at 23:21
Sorry, but Trump was looking for illegal votes, which if found would have put him in the lead. He wasn’t telling the governor to fabricate votes or fi...
January 18, 2024 at 19:00
You can witness fallacy at work. Guilt by association, fallacy of composition, and a whole host of social categorization biases leading to the typical...
January 17, 2024 at 19:14
This is what a moral panic reads like. Observe the conspiracy theories, fortune-telling, and fear mongering, derived as they were from the reporting o...
January 14, 2024 at 22:26
I don’t see how you can conclude from my quote that I was speaking about that particular statement alone. Clearly I wrote, and thankfully you quoted—s...
January 13, 2024 at 21:12
I’d love to see you dispute that. But I know you’ve swallowed whole something else.
January 13, 2024 at 15:19
You seem to think wrong. I was speaking about election crimes, not election management. Election crimes? become federal cases when: The ballot include...
January 13, 2024 at 14:32
Here’s a better quote because we don’t want to accidentally spread a little misinformation. And of course, as is evidenced by the transcript, he’s loo...

Yes, one thing the Conservative Incorporated likes to forget that Reagan implemented harsh and targeted gun control, especially in California, where h...

We observe the entities in order to derive their properties, relations, and activities. I suspect I lack the necessary abilities to abstract a propert...

Just to add, Fascism is against "individual self-defense" and "class self-defense". Defense was the sole job of the state, which is a common idea nowa...

Prosecuting political opponents for trumped up charges, yes. Though such activity could be construed as communist, or Putinist, I suppose.
January 11, 2024 at 19:34
Like prosecuting one’s political opponents or removing them from the ballot? Given the unprecedented nature of each of these, we can watch in real tim...
January 11, 2024 at 19:26
I see nothing adjacent here and see much of what you described in the activities of his opponents. At any rate, there is a thread for that topic and i...
January 11, 2024 at 19:16
Ah, fascism improper. Ok
January 11, 2024 at 18:48
I also focused on the philosophical premises, which you avoided. Hallmarks and echoes aren’t good enough, I’m afraid. One has to show that fascism is ...
January 11, 2024 at 18:42
Which “various aspects” have I missed?
January 11, 2024 at 18:34
Fascism has long been absorbed into the structure of the American state, starting with FDR. It's corporatism, grand public works, state propaganda, ha...
January 11, 2024 at 18:10
I hope it passes because a salty prosecutor could indict the presidents he doesn’t like, and it would render useless a check on the executive and judi...

Right, impeachment is not a criminal trial. It's a unique process. Trying impeachment involves both the judicial and legislative branches. The Senate ...
January 09, 2024 at 18:25
It was all above board. I say this because it is exactly what some Dems did in 2016. The only difference is that House members in 2021 had the backing...
January 09, 2024 at 17:42
It’s such an outlandish scenario that would never happen, but if it did, It would no doubt lead to a constitutional crisis. At least their wild though...
January 09, 2024 at 16:47
I fear that a political solution would not work. The power of government is illegitimate to begin with. It functions on monopoly and plunder. Taking p...
January 09, 2024 at 16:27
I’m afraid I can’t. As stupid and belligerent as the affair might have been, the political class has been largely insulated from the pathologies they ...
January 09, 2024 at 03:02
I can appreciate your view. But Had the rioters on Jan 6th pointed their ire at the public or on private businesses, and looted wherever they went, de...

You’ve never done anything besides playing games to pass the time?
January 09, 2024 at 02:17
Paine’s projections reveal that everything he does to pass the time is a game.
January 09, 2024 at 02:13
I copy and pasted the link. No clue. Not only that, but the protesters got a huge settlement from the DOJ, just another example of the two-tiered just...
