Perhaps you should use it instead of misquoting people. Then you'd see that when I using the phrase "bullying tactics" I was using the same exact phra...

I would consider that a gross mischaracterization because paying for services does not require involuntary methods of exchange. Not only that but ever...

It’s called misquoting, a common tactic of propaganda. You’ve never heard of it?
September 04, 2023 at 16:00
Puts quotes around something no one said. Lies called out.

You’re displaying bullying tactics, dear. I thought you were opposed to such antics.

In that same conversation he did brag about hitting on Nancy O'Dell, referring to himself as “I” and recalling his actions, according to his own word....

And they did use that irrelevant “evidence”, a conversation a decade after the alleged event, at that very trial, proving to me how specious it all wa...

My theory is that governments need to plunder their populace to sustain their activity because they do not have other means to do so. They possess the...

I’m claiming there is no evidence for any sexual assault, not to mention a very reasonable doubt. Why don’t you tell me what Trump did? You must know.

Yes, governments everywhere run protection rackets.

I’m not sure. Is the absence of something an argument against something, in your eyes?
September 03, 2023 at 18:59
A wrongdoing is to believe a decades-old assault occurred when time renders evidence and memory obsolete and unreliable. They have statutes of limitat...

Voluntarily paid for by those who purchase the services, sure.

NY state democrats literally introduced legislation, in collusion with Carrol’s lawyers, to get Trump. They have to make up legislation in order to pe...

That’s right. He was not found guilty of the crime of sexual assault.

I wouldn’t. But a moral means to funding anything is through just and voluntary transactions.

It’s evil to take people’s property and force them to labor for your benefit without any just and voluntary compensation. Do you think there is there ...

Sexual assault is a crime. No one has been found guilty of it. End of story.
September 03, 2023 at 16:55
It was a sham trial with a sham judge, long past the statutes of limitation, lacking any hard evidence, and in a hostile jurisdiction.
September 03, 2023 at 16:54
Figure it out.
September 03, 2023 at 16:23
Only because Trump didn’t show for the trial, not that he actually assaulted anyone. Liability isn’t guilt.
September 03, 2023 at 16:20
That is true. Most of all he said things people didn’t like, single-handedly smashing the illusion of statesmanship, which for Americans is sacrosanct...

I have no cut-off. They say…what if they said something else? The problem with appealing to popularity is that popular opinion often gets it wrong.
August 30, 2023 at 20:52
None of that is up to me. I wouldn’t use the terms pro-life or pro-choice, both of which are stupid. The debate is around the act of abortion in parti...
August 30, 2023 at 20:03
No, what I consider a valid excuse for abortion is if the unborn is a product of rape or if the mother is too young or if the fetus is malformed. What...

I would not consider it murder because there is a valid excuse for it. It is homicide by definition, though. I’m sure most people disapprove of homici...

You can ask Trump. He says who he was referring to. I wasn’t there, so no I do not consider myself amongst them. Do you?
August 29, 2023 at 00:11
The insinuation has always been that he incited an insurrection and encouraged lawless action at the capital. Of course, none of it passes the “immane...
