You requested my input... The Jan 6 committee has the authority to conduct its investigation into the events of Jan 6. That doesn't mean it has infinite power to conduct its investigation any way it wants. The same is true of a committee investigating Joe Biden.
It may issue subpoenas. But...
Words came out of Biden's mouth calling the Saudi prince a pariah.
Turns out... it was just Biden running his mouth (as usual).
Immunity for heads of state is fine. Nothing prevents someone from being declared persona non grata.
Presidents don't investigate themselves. It really is up to Congress to oversee the President and investigate evidence of impeachable offenses. Only the House of Representatives can impeach the President.
This is basic checks and balances between an Executive Branch and a Legislative branch...
Thanksgiving isn't just about saying the words, "Thank you."
A person can say those words almost anytime. A person can give thanks to God almost any time. Thanksgiving is a reciprocal action taken in return.
In Thanksgiving, a meal is shared. Food is the abundance which was made possible...
Purpose implies agency. An entity acts towards some purpose. The soul directs purpose as opposed to having a purpose. One possible "use" of the soul is the evaluation of entities in an Afterlife. If a Creator made souls, their purpose is to fulfill the desire of the Creator.
When you say...
IMO: It is extremely inappropriate for twitter to fact-check comments - that includes this comment from Senator Warren.
If you read the comment it is not hard, imo, to see why. Senator Warren very clearly stated her belief. Beliefs are often stated as if they are true. Beliefs are...
I'll agree that having an election not meet expectations is a reason that support for Trump might diminish slightly going forward because there are people who look at the result of the election and blame Trump after the fact. But it's not the other way around. In other words, the failure to...
If support for Trump was waning then you would expect a decrease in Republican membership before the election - not an increase before the election. Why would you assume that waning support for Trump would coincide with increased Republican membership? I'm suggesting that you look at other...
More than 1 million voters switch to GOP, raising alarm for Democrats
Also most of the additional six million Republican voters in 2022 weren't in swing states.
Saying Trump is toxic doesn't explain this. A better explanation is that Democrats targetted swing states much more heavily (which...
I agree that the mid-term elections didn't go strongly in the favor of Republicans.
That doesn't mean that they would've fared better without Trump advocacy.
But I acknowledge that people can regard things that don't meet their expectations as bad.
Yes, things often tend to spin off. That's exactly why I make an effort to make sure I'm still talking about the thread topic. Trying to change the topic of the thread is a cop out. Make your question about the topic of the thread and I'll consider answering it.
It seems to me that the moment Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons, he guaranteed that the U.S.A. would become involved. Any threat anywhere in the world to use nuclear weapons is a threat to the entire world and a threat to the U.S.A. as well.
I don't know how Putin could think that he...
Hmm, this article seems to be not that informative and even outright misleading.
It claims:
Here is a better article:
Trump endorsed 75 candidates in the midterms. How did they fare on Election Day?
42/75 = 56% means that Trump endorsed candidates did fare slightly better.
It could be called...
I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that this thread was about Trump.
I thought the topic here was the Washington Post's rating of Biden with a Bottomless Pinocchio.
Did you come here to turn it into a Trump bashing thread?
Article was not informative. I give it an F for failure on basic points of import.
They say "young children" and don't mention the actual age of students.
The article refers to training practices of the past but does not indicate what training practices are currently planned (or currently...
Generally speaking, midterm elections go against the party in charge. This election is not likely to differ from that trend. Most important is the general (dis)satisfaction with the job performance of the party in charge. The worse the performance of the party in charge, the larger the shift...
