Considering Trump's reactions in the past I'm not convinced he has what it takes to deal appropriately with the current issues. He's dealing with : 1....

Thank you captain obvious. At no point have you set out what relevant differences exist that makes the statistics you use a valid comparison. They're ...

Well, the Chinese are having a field day with the riots in the US and the police crack down on them as an excuse for their actions against HK.

You really didn't read the original reply did you or the last where I state "all things being equal"?
May 31, 2020 at 16:59
Do you have an argument other than stating the opposite? I already explained by example how a small country will come off a lot worse in the short ter...
May 31, 2020 at 16:53
This is just ridiculous. You picked one that's obviously wrong and I explained why. I didn't even offer the right measure in my reply so accusing me o...

By all estimates it's about 3 times as large as the consequences of no deal for the UK. I wouldn't call that dwarfed by any measure. The choice of wor...

Death rate and mortality rate are not a measure for this. See : https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/402318

The EU has been waiting for over two years for the incompetent English government to get their act together and explain what the fuck they wanted. The...

Many countries have done better, ergo, Trump did a terrible job.

Let me help you with your reading comprehension skills again. Translation: I really don't want Russia and the US to get into a situation that will esc...

Glad that that's cleared up. So why were the charges dropped? Investigation number 3?

You can't tell fact from opinion, so your assessment that the left thinks it owns facts is worthless, baseless and silly.
May 30, 2020 at 12:56
If facts destroy right wing talking points, cry me a river. :razz:

A pandemic and mass demonstrations at the same time. In a game of civilisation I'd consider reloading.

Depends on your relationship with her.

I don't know about the US, but in the Netherlands you can charge someone with 2nd or 3rd degree in the same writ, where 2nd degree is the primary clai...

Looks exactly like Hong Kong. :sad:
May 30, 2020 at 05:53
Fucking laughable. It's clearly 2nd degree if someone says "I can't breathe" and is clearly in distress and you continue to sit on him like that for 4...

Lmao. Fucking conspiracy bullshit "we can't trust the experts". So why the fuck are you trusting an MP? Or your "feels"? You reason like a teenage gir...

May 29, 2020 at 15:04
Now you have substituted your opinion for someone else's peppered with some anecdotal evidence of failed attempts. For the UK. But we're talking about...

Where are the facts this actually happens? I don't care about your opinion and I certainly don't care about your appeal to a majority. Most people say...

You must be over 60 that you think that comparison is sensible in any way.

What left-leaning politician with a reasonable following has been lying about methods of voting in order to protect the interests of his own party? Tr...

And I disagree with Mark. First off, the "fact checking" isn't deciding what's true or not so Mark creates a straw man and then puts it down. Totally ...
May 29, 2020 at 14:05
You can't substantiate they are doing it to those they disagree with. Trump is just a high profile user. If done correctly the fact checking will fina...

If I were the CEO of Twitter, I'd just ban Trump from using it - stating the legal fall out Trump is trying to create is too much of a hassle and sinc...

What's absurd is to argue the exercise of free speech infringed on Trump's right to free speech, even a violation of his human rights, and then preten...
May 28, 2020 at 16:09
Says the guy who earlier claimed that it violated a human right. That would be illegal and is a legal argument. Wriggle wriggle.
May 28, 2020 at 15:32
Pretty funny. Did you make that up yourself or are you sharing someone else's joke?
May 28, 2020 at 14:49
I didn't understand a word you wrote because of the bad grammar and spelling.

Civil disobedience for the win. There's an uncapitalised "i" in the paragraph after your 3 points.
May 28, 2020 at 10:46
You can keep trying to qualify it as something else but it's protected speech. First it was a stamp of approval, then it wasn't a comment because it d...

The form of speech is irrelevant. You just don't call it a comment now because it has a different form than "comments" in Twitter, which in fact are c...
