He was acquitted of insurrection in the impeachment process with the Chief Justice presiding.

Granting she has that right, do you think it is right or wrong to disqualify a candidate for a crime he has been acquitted of?
January 03, 2024 at 16:42
What if he was acquitted of insurrection? Should he still be disqualified for engaging in it, in your opinion?
January 03, 2024 at 16:38
Sorry, as already stated, and completely avoided and obfuscated by yourself, I don't argue to win points. That's your projection. I argue for its own ...

Complete lies. You’re going to pretend you know what I meant more than I do, and this after you deliberately doctor my quotes to suit your little narr...

Not only that, but removing people from the ballot is the modus operandi of the two-party duopoly. Look how the DNC railroaded Bernie or RFK Jr. We’ve...

Yes, I approved of that assassination. It arguably averted war. I said I seek argument for its own sake, ie, not for the sake of winning or persuasion...

Yes I did. The prospect of war was one of the reasons Bush refused to do it. It turns out he was wrong.

It's a method. The end is one's own education and growth, which ought to be endless.

No, I don’t listen to that shit, nor do I watch any television. My propaganda diet is limited to what pops up on my X feed. But I sometimes see the ne...

How does one advance his thinking if he refuses to subject his beliefs to the grindstone of argument? He cannot. You become a victim of orthodoxy, a s...

I just can't be bothered to care about his moral life or what comes out of his mouth. What I oppose is the moral panic created in his name. His reacti...

I enjoy it. I seek argument for its own sake. I get to test my intuitions against some fairly heavy criticism, and so far so good. If I wanted consens...

I didn’t even know who he was. I just recognized his X post occupying someone else’s head. But according to his page he’s a legal analyst on MSNBC, wh...

The grammar is doing the heavy lifting. The grammar states that the noun represents a person, place, or thing, and apparently this is enough to conclu...

You can literally watch the propaganda as it move from one vector to the other.

It all reads like an exercise in destroying oneself and leaving an abomination in its place. That’s a big nope for me.

Whether Trump has engaged in insurrection has already been decided by the senate. Acquitted. And the plain language of the constitution tells us what ...

The Colorado Supreme Court is wrong.
December 29, 2023 at 20:08
The 14th amendment applies to those listed who engaged in insurrection, neither of which is true in Trump's case. You're reading into something that j...

Again, no conspiracy, just a confluence of stupidity.

No, I wouldn't doubt it. The "tongue-in-cheek" attitude on such a grave and unprecedented matter gives more evidence to the malice and delusion of the...

They really said that Trump believes he won the election and if that were true, which they argue it's not, then he's ineligible because he's won twice...

I’m only arguing that if consciousness does not apply to the physiology, there is no other object to which it can apply. The circularity begins when y...

I was hoping the term could be used to describe an aspect of ourselves. The term "conscious" cannot describe "consciousness", I'm afraid.
December 28, 2023 at 19:33
What non-physical aspect of ourselves does the word "conscious" describe?
December 28, 2023 at 19:30
What non-physiological aspects are you speaking of?

“Winner” is a noun. I was talking about the switch from adjectives to nouns, for instance “happy” becomes “happiness”. Try describing “happy” without ...
