    Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris!

    It's actually a really strong criticism of Kamala to point out what she didn't do and isn't doing, right now. She has responsibility for the border, given to her by Biden, she went to Eastern Europe to talk with everyone (except Putin, of course, the one person she almost certainly should've...

    Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris!

    It is about Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney gave his endorsement. And I think that Kamala should not be so happy about receiving that endorsement. I'm not sure what you mean when you say it is unprecedented. He's not the first Republican to endorse a Democrat. That's not special. As for Dick...

    Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris!

    Of all the ways to interpret this, the one way I don't interpret this is that Dick Cheney had some sort of moral compunction. Has there been a greater threat to the Constitution than the Patriot Act? It is Dick Cheney who can never be trusted with power again, which makes his statement deeply...

    Trump on Child Care Costs

    Kamala is perfectly capable of answering questions just as well. I'm sorry if you feel otherwise. It's okay to be skeptical, but being skeptical isn't an excuse for laziness on your part.

    Trump on Child Care Costs

    TL;DR: The economic growth from Trump policies, which include tariffs, mean that affording child care won't be an issue for most Americans, and Rubio and Invanka have both been impactful on the issue. Did everyone understand the question that was asked? I know she used more than a few words...

    Abortion

    The primary pro-life argument is that abortion is generally immoral, which is why you ought not to do it. It's a very compelling argument. That's why I think the best argument for pro-choice is not to argue whether or not abortion itself is moral, but instead argue as to who decides whether or...

    Looks like Kennedy will suspend campaign, endorse Trump

    An interesting question. On the one hand, potential Kennedy voters leaned more towards Harris than towards Trump. but, on the other hand, that endorsement will push a lot of potential voters to Trump. But then again, Kennedy was a sort of safe vote for people who didn't like either Trump or...

    Climate change denial

    Just to clarify (for the US), "so many people in denial" refers to approximately 15% of the population (in the US). And a super-majority think it's an important issue for Congress and the president to deal with (in the US). At this point, dwelling on climate denial is really inconsequential...

    Is Woke a religion?

    IMO, an ideology in insufficient to be a religion. However, I do agree that the intensity of interest, the zeal, the fanaticism may even exceeed that of a religion, and I could conceive that people would try to replace their religion with such systems of belief. But I have come to the...

    Is Woke a religion?

    As far as I can tell woke isn't a religion and neither is cultural marxism. Being woke is about being aware of social injustice or discrimination as opposed to being aware spiritually and cultural marxism is a political ideology. There doesn't appear to be any belief in or worship of a...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    I think you are just making the point for me by trying to lawfare the way out of this. Cohen, a witness against Trump, is selling T-shirts of Trump in jail for his podcast and has publicly disparaged Trump on twitter and in other media as well. Trump ought to be free to defend himself against...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    FYI: The judge placed a gag order on Trump but did not place a gag order on Cohen.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Facts don't matter to you. Getting Trump is what you care about, plain and simple, and I appreciate your honesty in that regard. But, this is the problem, fundamentally, with all of the lawsuits: they are just about getting Trump and not about actual substance. After you talked it up as if...

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    In what way is faith required for thoughts to form? Are you trying to Beg the Question? Asserting a claim about faith first... and then using that claim as your conclusion. You decided that? ? You were born without evidence? I don't see what making or not making sense has to do with it...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    These jurors said that they can be impartial (in order to get on the jury) and then it's exposed that they were anti-Trump all along. Totally fair for Trump?!? What revolt? What rebellion? There are two sets of electors in every election. Has a right to question the integrity of the...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    What a steaming load of crap. "Can't you just shoot him?" ALLEGED "Please don't be too nice." Obvious mocking of how Biden-run border security and Democrat-run cities are nice to criminals, with special funds to release them ont he street after committing crimes, or fly them to where-ever they...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Again, back-up electors as a contingency in the event that rulings on ballots alter the outcome of an election is standard in every election and when the outcome is contested you have electors from each side that are ready just in case. Famously, in 1960, there were two sets of electors from...

    Do rights come from God?

    I did get that impression from you because: You're talking about whether or not stealing is "wrong" in the context of asserting that rights are values. These examples support the notion that rights are not simply statements of values or mores (or guarantee moral behavior). To wit: rights are...

    Do rights come from God?

    Rights do not guarantee moral behavior. Although they may prevent some immoral behavior. Freedom of speech does not guarantee that people will say nice things. Property rights do not guarantee that people will not be selfish. Freedom of religion does not guarantee that people will believe in...

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    Okay, you cannot be certain...?: Maybe... we cannot be certain that awareness is what it seems to be; or maybe... we can be certain that awareness is what it seems to be. Therefore, maybe... we cannot be certain that our knowledge is truly knowledge; or maybe... we can be certain that our...
