Happy as a clam, friend.

You assumed, wrongly, that I was posting it for any other reason than a joke. Sorry pal. Your humor isn’t as well-rounded as you are pretending it is.
June 27, 2023 at 21:39
When we speak of pain and joy, are speaking of any other consciousness than human consciousness? No. Sharks have shark physiology. Insects have insect...

Oh dear, he’s using emojis. Is this how you get across your mockery? I usually read your words in a valley-girl voice, but this is hilarious. Your chu...

You don’t like that he averted a war with Iran? That says enough for me.
June 27, 2023 at 19:40
No problem. I’m glad you liked it.

Trump is the only living president who isn’t a descendant of someone who enslaved Americans. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-s...

It’s seems a simple case of double standards. One expects better or worse of people, so he holds them to differing standards. It’s another of the myri...

The scale of difference between an insect and a man is astronomical. Ascribing to them elements of human consciousness is patently absurd on those gro...

It makes sense. They have a body, sense organs, digestion. But it would be silly to say that such dissimilar bodies would result in a similar consciou...

You’re not so bad yourself. Cheers.
June 25, 2023 at 19:57
No offence taken. I’ve made no attempt to hide my bias, so being called a partisan is expected. But that no one else is being accused in the same way ...
June 25, 2023 at 19:25
All that incitement and corruption we’ve listed. The treatment by the justice system, the press, the intelligence community clearly favor both exactly...
June 25, 2023 at 19:12
I’m being genuine, though. I hope you are as well.
June 25, 2023 at 19:00
I said laugh all you want. Again, what corruption? I’m so inundated with Fox News that I may have missed it.
June 25, 2023 at 18:54
Simple definition. Still no quote. c-ya.
June 25, 2023 at 18:48
What corruption?
June 25, 2023 at 18:47
The evidence is pretty clear that your assessment isn't considered incitement according to any law or definition. Are you able to provide a single quo...
June 25, 2023 at 18:22
Feel free to shit on me all you want. But if you want to believe a political rally is "incitement to insurrection", which is the same line repeated by...
June 25, 2023 at 17:53
All I know is as soon as I post something about a politician, there you and the others are, like clockwork. This has been the case my entire time here...
June 25, 2023 at 17:14
The real problem is the preferential treatment, the justice system and intelligence community protecting one of its own. The architect of the Patriot ...

Well said, as usual.
June 25, 2023 at 14:58
There is a difference between saving some kids and believing you’re saving some kids. He either shot someone and saved the lives of children or he sho...

Let me guess: corporations? That being said I’m glad you’ve come to your senses about the Biden crime family. Now you can follow around his defenders ...
June 25, 2023 at 14:32
Can’t stop speaking about Trump, even in a Biden thread. But others are in a Trump cult.
June 25, 2023 at 13:48
Bring it on. What’s another frivolous investigation? Maybe they’ll hire ABC to produce it like they did with the J6 committee, or they’ll sing ballads...
June 25, 2023 at 06:29
Biggest revelations from the whistleblower testimony. Hunter linked daddy to Chinese deal in threat to business partner. Joe Biden showed up at busine...
June 25, 2023 at 02:37
Federal crimes reduced to misdemeanors. DOJ and FBI obstructing Justice. Threatening oligarchs to pay up or else daddy will get them. Crack, prostitut...

The desire to be good isn't good enough, in my opinion. We can desire to be good until the cows come home, but until it motivates other actions and be...

Note the difference between the dutifully quoted propaganda and the actual quote of the whistleblower testimony. NYT: Actual testimony: https://waysan...

Mens rea. The so-called intention can lead to a harsher punishment. You’re right. I guess I’m trying to find out why, ethically speaking, this needs t...

Not a good look. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/us/politics/hunter-biden-joe-business-deal.html Hunter Biden got a nice little slap on the wrist f...

If you want to find the “process of thought” watch a person think. Human thought, like believing and reasoning, is an action performed by persons, and...

One wonders how different the issue would be if the pictograms on bathroom doors were penises and vaginas.
June 22, 2023 at 16:22
Schiff promised them evidence of Russian collusion and when he didn’t deliver they didn’t care. He deceived congress, the public, and the world and it...

The fallacy of division reminds us that that which true for a whole needn’t be true of its parts. So a vast combination of non-intentional and non-pur...
June 22, 2023 at 16:00
That’s what I’m struggling with. My conscience won’t let me abandon the truth of the matter, nor will it let me abandon compassion and manners. I beli...

Why is it transphobic?
June 21, 2023 at 15:16
A woman is a female of the human species. It's mind-boggling that such a benign fact can create so much division between people. The truth of this say...

It’s not clear that the mind has adapted when the examples given are exclusively performed by bodies.
June 16, 2023 at 15:26
Interesting OP. Thank you for writing it. My own take is that morality mandates behavior rather than a perspective. In that sense it must become objec...
June 15, 2023 at 20:45
Somewhere, out there, some poor soldiers life was at risk. This is the kind of propaganda that justifies jailing dissidents, starting wars, and dronin...

It appears he did file them separately, took them with him, and disputed with NARA over them. If you find that he took something designated as preside...

Whose lives did he put at risk?
June 14, 2023 at 15:55
Hillary wasn’t elected by the people as the authority of the US government. She was afforded no such right by the people of the United States. Trump w...
June 14, 2023 at 15:52
So NARA has more authority than the president in deciding what are presidential and personal records. But we’ve already seen that play out in court an...
June 14, 2023 at 15:49
He was the commander-in-chief and supreme authority of those agencies, though. Someone below him has more authority then?
June 14, 2023 at 15:39
Do you think the government can take back personal records of a former president, circumventing the presidential records act, if the next administrati...
June 14, 2023 at 15:32
So you’re saying that after the president leaves office, they can retroactively re-classify it and arrest him for having it?
