    Here's a scary thought...

    I hope that those who voted for Donald Trump really are true believers, because one thing is becoming extraordinarily clear: Donald Trump is set to be the single most powerful President in American history, for at least the next 2 years. Consider: He's got the Senate wrapped up, and likely the...

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Yes, I see that -- you're back to religion and faith. Which, as I recall, Samual L. Clemens described as "believing in something you just know ain't true."

    Send Them Back to Hell

    Then I guess that as you lose more and more of "what we have her that cannot be replicated elsewhere," then people will begin to lose interest in, and the tired, poor, and huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of those teeming shores will prefer to stay home or find...

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Any actual evidence -- or is this just more eisegesis based on your strong desire to believe and be vindicated?

    Prospective Trump AG: We're going to put kids in cages

    And can we remember that this was all done under the auspices of the man he has now named his new "border czar," Tom Homan -- who just the other day said that the way to deport people without breaking up families is just to "deport whole families."

    Prospective Trump AG: We're going to put kids in cages

    Of course! You know that two wrongs make a right. Heck, I suspect that you can keep on adding wrongs and making everything more and more right -- until when you've finally achieved doing everything wrong, the world will be Utopia!:laughing::eek:

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Just a tiny problem with that -- in this context, the only votes that even matter are in 7 states, and every one of those states is run by split legislatures (except GA, which has both Republican Governor and Legislature). Just consider Georgia, in 2020, in which Trump went seeking 11,780 votes...

    Political and Religious Beliefs

    This is not true, and is in fact profoundly misleading. Everyone, even "religious non-believers" believes some things and disbelieves others. And they're agnostic on a whole bunch of other things, the sort that when asked about, they shrug and say, "who knows?" These are not decided on the...

    The reign of your new king begins soon -- "recess appointments" to skip oversight.

    Eminently qualified: she's corruptible and loyal to Trump. What else does a Supreme Court Justice need?

    To Be or Not To Be: your gender (Vivek R.)

    Why are you curious about what we think? Do you suppose that there are experts on the subject lurking among RF members? For that matter, why do you care what Vivek Ramaswamy thinks? What is his expertise? Now, I'll grant that he graduated in biology, which means that there's at least...

    QED!

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    That, sir, was made up out of whole cloth. You have not a whit of evidence of any kind, other than numbers of voters (TURNOUT ALWAYS VARIES from election to election), for one thing that you claim. So, I can do that, too. Trump is so repugnant, so repellent, that that alone suffices to show...

    The Real Reason Trump Won

    Yes, all very, very complex. But consider this: the Obama administration developed a comprehensive playbook for how to handle a pandemic -- and the Trump administration threw it out, early in the term. And then there was a pandemic... What credit or condemnation -- and to whom -- do we ascribe?

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Well, that's a perspective, I suppose. The point of exegesis is to make a concerted attempt to understand the meaning of a text based on what the author of that text wrote. Eisegesis is the opposite -- the interpretation of a passage based on a subjective, non-analytical reading, which allows...

    No, it was the compliment @Wandering Monk paid me in the OP. ;)

    Then you know the importance of exegesis, and how dangerous eisegesis is. Politics tends to grip us by the short and curlies (emotionally speaking, of course), and eisegesis all too often becomes our final argument. I think that's happening in your arguments on this particular subject.

    Just out of idle curiosity -- about the election...

    I am fascinated by the olympic-level gymnastics you are willing to go to -- really. Think about how you would feel about the sports team that stood on the slightly lower platform while gold medals were awarded to the winners, and who forever after said, "they may have got the gold, but we...

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Well I haven't suggested anything of the kind (nor do I have any power in that regard). I'm simply responding to your arguments, which I find seriously wanting.

    The Horror of Trump's Previous Zero Tolerance Immigration ****show. Coming Soon.

    Haven't read it yet. That's why I haven't said anything. But I learned long ago that in trying to master any subject matter, a lot of information is frequently a necessity.

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Your entire argument is that the 2020 election lawsuits weren't decided on their merits; instead, the courts prevented Trump from having his day in court due to procedural or jurisdictional reasons, not because the evidence was found lacking. This is only minimally accurate, in spite of your...
