That does not tell me enough to place much value upon it. The trial ought not only be public... I'd be all in on public mandate to watch the trial...

Observation... or... ...contradicts with, or stands in direct opposition to some other bit of knowledge(statement) that has been previously verified? ...

Trumpian Apologetics... :wink: That has a nice ring to it...

The pulse of Trump apologists...

I'll take your word on that...

The same measure would apply to Graham, and all other Senators who've already made public pronouncements of guilt or innocence.
January 24, 2020 at 05:19
I don't care about Fox News. I care about it when the Senate majority leader cannot perform the duties of all members of the Senate during an impeachm...
January 24, 2020 at 05:13
Still have not seen the video. If he openly and clearly stated that he could not be an impartial juror in this matter of impeachment, then he has conf...

The Republican Senate members have a leader who is - by any and all reasonable accounts - siding with the defense(holding the same position as the pre...
January 24, 2020 at 03:53
Alas though, the point is being avoided... How do we know when the experts are wrong? Experts are wrong before they know it. So... We cannot just ask ...
January 24, 2020 at 03:46
I may not find it boring to critically examine your position... Is it still based upon logical possibility alone?
January 24, 2020 at 03:40
It was not an analysis. It was just offering a few possible explanations. That's something your entire philosophy rests it's laurels upon. Logical pos...
January 24, 2020 at 03:38
Unfortunately they can and do... and in doing so convince some who do not know better.
January 24, 2020 at 03:32
I like to think that this very situation will cause change in the right direction...
January 24, 2020 at 03:30
He... and the defense are trying to import civil rules to this... not civil case. There is no excuse for failing to honor a subpoena to testify as a w...
January 24, 2020 at 03:25
He's repeating the apologists procedural argument.
January 24, 2020 at 03:09
You are claiming that our path to knowing when the experts have been wrong is to ask them. Is that correct?
January 24, 2020 at 03:04
It ought not be possible for that to be the case. Wow. Talk about unabashed dereliction of sworn duty... :confused: Justice Roberts better do his job ...
January 24, 2020 at 03:02
What about all the time that passes prior to their becoming aware of that fact?
January 24, 2020 at 02:58
Sigh. As I said... you're a bit boring to have several years of graduate level philosophy. You've been talking in academic terms, so... Since you aske...
January 24, 2020 at 02:57
How do we know when the experts have been wrong?
January 24, 2020 at 02:52
The same one where it makes sense to ask such a stupid question.
January 24, 2020 at 02:50
Did not work for me. No video. No audio. Was that a "yes" or a "no"?
January 24, 2020 at 02:45
Really? :yikes: No. Surely not.
January 24, 2020 at 02:31
There is more than enough adequate evidence for us to confidently conclude that Trump has acted and continues to act deliberately to the following end...
January 24, 2020 at 02:31
Awww... ...and you're cute too? Make my heart flutter. That's not me being touchy. That's me being frank. Now you're mimicking yet another common beha...
January 24, 2020 at 02:23
You're a bit boring - to me - to be an expert. A very talented rhetorician though. Gifted, perhaps, in the art of persuasion. A keen eye for using cer...
January 24, 2020 at 02:13
Yet another prima facie example of misinformation... The Mueller investigation would not charge anyone with anything. It was not in the purview. They ...
January 24, 2020 at 01:41
You're an idiot. There are a whole slew of claims that are known to be false but cannot be falsified. Knowing that allows us to also know that not all...
January 24, 2020 at 01:34
Proves beyond a reasonable doubt that one can be formally educated and be quite wrong, and thus not an expert... unless experts can be wrong... oh wai...

Executive privilege does not permit and/or allow a president to impede an investigation into his own possible unconstitutional/illegal behaviors, rega...
January 23, 2020 at 17:36
Members of the Senate are not Trump's defense team. That is a problem. McConnell needs removed.
January 23, 2020 at 17:32
You're a fountain of misinformation. There are two articles. The first is abuse of power. The second is obstruction of congress. Trump has shown a pat...
January 23, 2020 at 17:30
The Senate majority leader is knowingly concealing evidence from the investigation. There has been newly emerging information which certain persons wh...

This just doesn't carry much weight when viewed in light everyday facts and openly expressed public behaviour. A court is not necessary to prove that ...
January 23, 2020 at 05:10
Rubbish.
January 23, 2020 at 04:37
That can and does happen.
January 23, 2020 at 04:28
Isn't there a missing premiss? Something like humans are the only entities with agency... then agency is only applicable to humans. If that is the cas...
January 22, 2020 at 04:56
It makes no sense to think that any more evidence and/or testimony is needed. The obstruction charge has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt. No o...

He's jerking your chain...
January 22, 2020 at 03:52
Why? What would the point be? I mean... You are here to tell us what it means, even when it comes from another's pen. Sigh... Experts are generally sp...
January 22, 2020 at 03:52
:brow: I was with you til the above... How did you get there from where you were?
January 22, 2020 at 02:19
Do you agree with the following? The best possible results are clearly not happening to the degree and in the ways that it can and ought be in a repre...
January 21, 2020 at 05:52
What else could it sensibly mean? As I argued already... For me? Not all increases in general overall wellbeing are the result of well-functioning gov...

Any comparison to the likes of Hitler here is totally uncalled for. I would like to clearly state that. If the similarities arise to the extent that w...

Surely, you are not making such a broad brush stroke here? "Whiteness" being invoked in racial sensitivity discussions? First if all it's completely w...
January 21, 2020 at 04:38
Hmm... I expected you to at least address what I said... Ok... I guess??? Be well. Oh... And thank you!
January 21, 2020 at 04:28
Not impossible, particularly if and/or when 'we' revel in knowingly harming others for no good reason at all. Some folk like to think of themselves as...
January 21, 2020 at 04:08
The best possible results are clearly not happening to the degree and in the ways that it can and ought be in a representative form of government.
