I was glad for the rhetoric because rally-goers were getting beaten and berated by protesters, rioters, and Clinton operatives paid to incite violence...

Take a read of this. The Mug Shot Is a Warning I’ve always stuck by the theory that we’re in a moral panic and Trump is a folk devil. Not much else ex...

Fair enough, though I think dismissing the burden of proof is a bad idea when it comes to making claims, especially one’s that involve accusations aga...
August 25, 2023 at 17:57
So you do not believe the burden of proof should lie with an accuser?
August 25, 2023 at 16:52
I meant to say the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, or anyone who makes accusations against others. Those who presume innocence should be ev...

I bought an official space force hat for $25 back in 2018 or something and sold it for around $250 last year.
August 25, 2023 at 15:24
The Trump campaign is already selling merch of his mugshot. It will go down as one of the most famous shots in American history. I’m buying for poster...

One standard that applies to those who prosecute in courts, but to no one else. Only they should presume innocence. Only they require the burden of pr...
August 25, 2023 at 14:51
That means you hold it true of some men and not others. Two sets of standards.

The presumption of innocence is either a basic human right or it is not. You either believe in it or you don’t. Anyone who says Trump should prove his...
August 25, 2023 at 00:00
Much talk of Trump “proving his innocence” in a system where innocence is assumed, or ought to be, at least if due process and fundamental human right...

According to the defense they were given too much data in discovery that there is no chance they could go through it in time. But it might be for the ...

Suggesting? I was asking a question.

The election was in November.

Changing laws is cosmetic and minor, according to praxis.
August 23, 2023 at 17:03
Think for yourself for a second. Do you think changing a law is cosmetic and minor?
August 23, 2023 at 16:59
I’m not sure they were changing election laws in the lead up to an election out of the goodness of their hearts.
August 23, 2023 at 16:58
Would you agree that lockdowns were suppressing votes, then?
August 23, 2023 at 16:54
I don’t.
August 23, 2023 at 16:52
Why alter election laws in the first place?
August 23, 2023 at 16:51
Changes to election laws—laws that were not there before are now in effect. There were hundreds of them a cross numerous states. I don’t know how to m...
August 23, 2023 at 16:49
I welcome it. The more emojis I get from you the better. It's all on record.
August 23, 2023 at 16:45
Changes, plural.
August 23, 2023 at 16:44
It just so happened to favor one candidate, one party, some people, some states, at the expense of the rest.
August 23, 2023 at 16:42
How does one suppress votes by attempting to block fundamental changes to election laws?
August 23, 2023 at 16:30
Exactly.
August 23, 2023 at 16:19
We already know you can't write, but you sure can pad it with other people's ideas.
August 23, 2023 at 16:19
It was before, as well. They were trying to block the efforts to make fundamental changes to how elections were run, all of which was occurring under ...

His countless efforts to root out fraud and hold the shadow campaign to account are by now public record.
August 23, 2023 at 15:54
Administrators at the state and local level are responsible for running elections. The president isn't.
August 23, 2023 at 15:46
I am sitting down, frank. You might want to give your imagination a rest for a while because your projections are becoming commonplace.

That’s the problem. Capitalism is present in all systems, and any system without it is inconceivable. The only difference between the present system a...

Sharing might do well to describe the distribution, but stealing, plundering, or pilfering describes the acquisition. Sharing is good and all but if y...

Funds do not have to be expropriated from one source to another. They can also be exchanged voluntarily. As a self-described democratic socialist, whi...

We can quibble about my experiences, if you wish. No doubt geography is not my strong suit. I explicitly said I could care less about it. The utilitar...
August 18, 2023 at 01:03
Cherry-picking, I guess.
August 18, 2023 at 00:57
So why not Switzerland or the Netherlands or the Ivory Coast or Singapore?
August 17, 2023 at 23:33
How come you only bolded those three countries? What’s the argument?
August 17, 2023 at 23:19
Right, one has to go and prostrate oneself before those in power and practically beg in order to have any input. But you'll note that the state moves ...

And a belief is merely a name for a kind of articulated feeling. I feel this sort of way and when I express myself about it this is my belief. I belie...

Good thinking. For so long we've disparaged the worldly in favor of the spiritual, and this has likely led to the upsetting and devastating fear you'v...

Either malice or incompetence. Neither are good, and it let’s me know the level of expertise we’re working with here.

Are these the same indictments published before the grand jury got a chance to decide whether to indict him or not? Yes, yes they are. Another farce, ...
