False. Some cages were built by Obama and some children were separated under exceptional circumstances. Trump wrote a blanket policy to prosecute all ...

No he isn't. He's a vegetable halve the time and therefore he has no appeal. Don't dumb other voters down just because you think he's still competent....

Americans love fighters so Trump surviving this and his impeccable instincts with his fist pumping will win him the presidency.
July 14, 2024 at 06:55
I have no clue why you started talking about cages. Maybe you have more in common with Biden than you think? :wink:
July 13, 2024 at 06:13
Perhaps you should stick to the part I quoted?
July 12, 2024 at 09:50
:rofl: I see you're thoroughly misinformed nowadays. Love the cavalier attitude to the use of armed force. This really underlines my point. Let's pret...

False. Look it up. Military intervention and threat was his primary foreign policy tool. And yes, Republicans are more authoritarian than Democrats ev...

Many of what? I'm talking about contemporary history; I didn't go further back than Reagan for my list!

Good luck with that. Most philosophers use it as a crutch to maintain dumb ideas like: anti-natalism, "god exists" and "murdering babies is fine".

You hardly see because it's a feature not a bug. But some things that have me grimace in distaste are the ability of US Presidents to: Rule by executi...

I recall qualifying the 2020 election as a choice between two evils. One of those evils got a lot worse. It clarifies once again that the USA doesn't ...

You don't have a left in the US. You have a slightly left of centre Sanders who is silenced by the Democratic Party which is itself right but not as a...

Ok, so theoreticially possible but practically unlikely.

Dual career ladders are great but not enough companies have them. A good manager for true subject experts is basically having a secretary that does al...

But why not? If an alternative candidate would stand he/she is allowed to try to persuade the pledged delegates because they aren't strictly held to v...

People keep saying this but contested conventions have happened. Isn't that a process where it can be taken from him?
July 08, 2024 at 04:57
That's a dumb comment for a variety of reasons. How do they know the order changed? Because the FBI records. So we have a record of what was in it bef...

It's Müller where I'm from since we actually know how to spell a German name, so tough luck. In any case, Müller has repeatedly refused to exonerate T...
July 05, 2024 at 09:51
This is a false representation of the Müller report. Stop lying. Not sure what you're referring to. Has there been a decision on this or are you just ...

50 is old. Presidents should be 50 at the most. I'm 45 and I read a lot and make music so I can't say my brain isn't regularly used and I can tell my ...

:lol: It's funny because it's true. But you'll get another candidate instead of Biden.

Probably not but hopefully you and others find the facts (or at least my interpretations of them) interesting.
July 03, 2024 at 09:24
It's not about the kill count. It's really sad that after so many pages of discussion you reduce the position of people on the other side of the debat...

You're equivocating strong and weak with oppressor and oppressed. Which really is silly.
July 03, 2024 at 04:55
What's nonsense is having barely read the SCOTUS opinion is you having such strong opinions about it. The decision is fine and fully in line with what...

All civil servants have civil immunity. Judges and prosecutors even have absolute or qualified immunity. "Acting as a parent, you can not be prosecute...

Addendum Barrett (this points to an ultra vires argument I already mentioned): Although the decision itself is silent on it. Barret at least would all...

Reading the ruling, I still think there's enough room to prosecute where "content, form and context" points to the President speaking in an unofficial...

Doesn't the democratic party have internal rules to force a candidate to step down?
July 01, 2024 at 08:32
Jesus. How callous and depraved. It directly targets civilians and disproportionality affects the weak. Horrible.
July 01, 2024 at 07:18
This has become more actual again now that Biden turns out to be a demented nutjob holding onto power for no apparent good reason, making sure the Dem...
July 01, 2024 at 07:14
So, technically speaking, what would be options to replace Biden as a candidate? At what time and who can do it?
July 01, 2024 at 06:34
I advise you to read the report and make up your own mind. My take away, there was Russian interference, Trump welcomed it and there were a lot of con...
July 01, 2024 at 06:28
If you mean the Müller enquiry then no, it wasn't Bullshit.
July 01, 2024 at 06:03
it's only 4 years. Probably that is the main consideration to do fuck all. I've said it before and I'll say it again: US elections are for Democrats t...

I have exactly zero trust in the average intelligence of people. They do not have a historical perspective so don't understand fascism.

Are you going to pretend you don't read my posts? I've already established that transactional agreement is no moral basis for a claim to the benefits ...
June 26, 2024 at 06:17
you don't have morality only a procedure. That you are the beneficiary of a transaction doesn't mean you should be.
June 25, 2024 at 15:16
You are reading a lot of Bullshit into what I said and building a straw man the size of Mount Everest. For example, the illustration that moral standa...
June 25, 2024 at 14:04
Wrong. Agreement is irrelevant. We could agree because you threatened my wife, or because we're family and I'm partial, or simply because I like you a...

You're repeating questions I've answered several times in this very thread. Maybe start paying attention. I'll ignore this post as a result because I'...

Taxation is legitimate as well. Proxy powers over children as well. Both are legal concepts, both are laws. Wages and contracts are legal concepts, pr...

That's called being a citizen. The same way children are children and not slaves, even when they are "slaves to the whims" of their parents. Especiall...

We know. I know. And you don't know that this is simply unacceptable in a modern world with respect for human rights because it's inherently discrimin...

You can stuff your anti-semitism where the sun don't shine. A new generation grew up with a world that was moving towards stability and respect for hu...

I'm happy when I pay attention and make the effort to be happy. Most of the time that means striving to be a better man. For instance, it means not be...

Then you don't understand what discrimination is and you have much bigger problems. These laws would be struck down in the EU. Then you no longer have...

And subsequently doesn't discriminate between it's citizens unlike Israel. Freedom of speech trumps dumb fairy tales.
