Re: Casey Burgat on We Hold These "Truths"

The Table of Contents was…… What do you personally plan to do after investing your time in reading 400+ pages of what appears to be a detailed description of 2 1/2 centuries of corruption by “other people”? In other words, is it going to add fuel to worrying about things you can’t control? Not tryi...

Re: US Citizen / Military Vet detained in ICE raid

Watching Trump's spokeswoman. She just clarified that every illegal immigrant is an illegal criminal since they broke the law. Somewhat of a step back from the focus being first on the heinous criminals. The difference between campaign promises and actual governing. She IS a True Believer. Good cho...

Re: US Citizen / Military Vet detained in ICE raid

I suppose, Dieter. I just think that if we compare every form of heavy-handedness to Nazis, then “nazi” loses all meaning. The only people more hyperbolic than Trump are his opponents. Who is more hyperbolic remains to be seen It's not even a contest. One can never be too hyperbolic if you are desc...

Re: Mount McKinley or Denali

Earlier this week President Trump issued an Executive Order changing the official name of the mountain back to Mount McKinley. Both Alaska senators voiced objection. Should a decision about the name of a mountain or monument in a given state be left up to the citizens of that state to decide? What ...

Re: We should all write to our members of Congress and demand tax reforms

I am not overthinking. Proclaiming "Make America Great Again" is clearly saying that presently it is not and that there was this time period when it was. Why is no one able to define that time period? If anyone cannot then it's a typical empty political phrase just to appeal to the emotio...

OK I'm curious. What was "MAGA" or "far-right" about anything in my post? (I took care to keep political partisanship out of it, in fact.) Nothing far right to me. I just took MAGA as short hand for 'make America great again', at which your thoughts seemed to be aimed, at least ...
