Anyone here have kids in the house, say age 5-18? I cringe thinking about how he represents America and himself and how that might affect what they think about right and wrong. A simple point is how quickly he turns on anyone who has any level of disagreement with him. There's no level headed debat...

Only if she gets on the plane.

And I would also reject your premise that Maddy clarified anything other than her (assuming Maddy is a her) subjective take. I'd imagine if you polled all attorneys, my guess is that millions, if not a majority, would state that Trump has committed impeachable offenses. Well, those are the incendia...

Very Bright Light FASAB 56, which effectively took all of the government's accounting records dark. Did the American People really know what the Money was spent on Before it went dark? Probably not, but accounting statements were required and could be obtained by anyone who asked for them. Not so a...

How is the impeachment inquiry "completely unconstitutional?" I could write volumes on this, but with only four or five more hours of sunshine and a long list of winterization projects, I'll provide just a quick overview: The impeachment inquiry began with and was pursued for nearly two y...

Also, it's distressing to me that we've heard absolutely nothing from Trump on the subject of FASAB 56, which effectively took all of the government's accounting records dark. I'm not sure if I'm this cynical or not, but does it really matter? Even if we have visibility to where the money is going,...

While acknowledging all of Libertarian666's points, Trump's accomplishments have included virtually nothing in the area of individual liberties or, for that matter, the defense of basic constitutional principles. His pursuit of strategic alliances between the government and Big Tech, and the acceler...

Phase 1: Integrate all ethnicities and economic strata within school districts, giving all an equal opportunity to succeed. Result: Smart, motivated kids still did better. Phase 2: Move lower-achieving students to the head of the line, giving them artificially-created opportunities to succeed that o...

I have no idea how they think they are going to be able to know everyone's wealth, and there will be massive incentive to hide it. The underlying assumption could not be clearer: that a centralized digital payment system is coming, augmented by a massive centralized data base that tracks your comin...

The reason Bernie wants to do it is tha...

That's certainly the position of the social egalitarians. Everybody's equally unprincipled.

Just like the fact that you’re an apologist for an orange buffoon with his finger on the button. . . I'm an apologist for the rule of law--nothing more, nothing less. But the most glaring examples of corruption and illegality are, at this time, coming from the Left. And I see nothing of merit in th...

What I've always felt about Omar is not that she's being controlled by someone else but that she is either blind to her hypocrisy or chooses to be. She picks and chooses what she likes about each culture. We all do, but most of us are not in office. Or maybe she's just not all that bright? Occam's ...

No "contest" is needed, and none is implied. The fact is that there is no practice even remotely analogous to FGM in western culture. No doubt there are men who will whine about being "mutilated" in infancy as the result of routine circumcision, and perhaps they have a legitimate...

Do you have an example of Omar being an apologist for FGM? You have misquoted me. That's been the elephant in the livingroom since the beginning. . . How is it that an apologist for a culture that claims the right to dismember a woman's genitalia against her will ends up in this position to begin w...

How is it that an apologist for a culture that claims the right to dismember a woman's genitalia against her will ends up in this position to begin with? Mutilating penii is part of the American culture, but lots of males are politicians. I'm not sure what argument this point advances, but surely y...

That's been the elephant in the livingroom since the beginning. . . How is it that an apologist for a culture that claims the right to dismember a woman's genitalia against her will ends up in this position to begin with? Is a person whose culture absolutely precludes her from making decisions indep...

And it troubles you that wisdom is not found in a forum dominated by opinions that can be expressed in 15 words or less?

In early August, in the wake of the shooting at an El Paso Walmart, President Trump called on big tech companies to collaborate with the Justice Department in the creation of software that “stops mass murders before they start” by detecting potential mass shooters before they can act. Though Trump’...

According to this article, the Trump administration is considering using a Chinese-style "social credit score" to determine whether a person should have the right to own a gun. And who better to gather data for the social credit score than Amazon, Google, and the other tech giants who woul...

No the government did not, the universities did. I really get tired of this argument, just because the government sweetens the pot for something and ties strings to it, that does not equate to the government mandating it. There is a huge difference. Kind of like conditioning more generous Medicare ...

I'm just surmising here, but I suspect these girls' choices might have been different had everything been laid out for them from the beginning. Had that been the case, there wouldn't have been any need for the kind of sophisticated grooming that Epstein and his team had a knack for. It's easy for me...

Reality is. . . what is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained. Did you opt out of Common Core or something?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-16/how-epstein-manipulated-vulnerable-young-girls-and-how-you-can-protect-your This is an interesting article, based upon interviews with the girls Epstein recruited, about how he lured them into service. When I think about how naive I was at that age, how obli...
