The Mueller report states that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was illegal and occurred "in sweeping and systematic fashion", and was welcomed by the Trump campaign as it expected to benefit from such efforts. It also identified multiple links between Trump associates and...
The problem is that his supporters really fail to grasp anything true about the man. That in itself is a complete mystery, because it's all right out there, for anybody to see. But they don't see. I get the feeling that when he lapses into his "weave" that doesn't ever come together eventually...
Like I said, it's too big an issue for me. Tax freedom day in Canada is 2 months later than in the US. Is that worth not going bankrupt for being unfortunate enough to have a terrible illness, or require major surgery? I can only assess that for myself, and my answer, given my partner's and my...
I remember the 1040 form. Ha Ha.
Your question is too big for me. Where I live, I'm taxed on my income. Part of what I'm left with, I spend on things I want and need -- and on some of those I pay tax sales taxes, so I'm taxed again.
On the other hand, my spine surgery was 100% free. When my...
As reported on MSNBC, October 24, 2024. All paraphrasing done by me.
So we are all aware that 23 U.S. recipients of the prestigious Nobel Prize for Economics have signed a letter serving as a stamp of approval for Harris' economic agenda. According to the group, the Vice President's agenda will...
Ya know, your opposition to war -- along with your total support for Vladimir Putin who started and continues to pursue a war -- really do make you seem at least a little bit, shall we say "inauthentic?"
Can't help but notice that "God Bless the U.S.A." and the Pledge of Allegiance (current version since 1954) make it clear that the First Amendment establishment clause is of no effect.
Intellectually dishonest? Put a constitutional question before the Supreme Court and ask them to just ignore everything after the 10th Amendment. Let me know how that goes.
The Constitution is incomplete without all 27 amendments.
Aside from that, there is the rapidly accumulating evidence of all the ways in which Donald Trump is attempting to rewrite America itself for his own purposes. It saddens me that so many Americans don't seem to give a hoot, but the...
It's a fascinating fact that the Trump Bible -- which has been approved for use in Oklahoma schools which has 55,000 on order -- includes the U.S. Consitution, but omits some pretty important sections of it. Notably, Amendments 11 through 17.
What are these? Well, the abolition of slavery, for...
Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, who was former President Donald Trump‘s longest-serving chief of staff, called Trump’s leadership style “dictatorial,” “fascist” and lacking empathy in new interviews this week.
Another "reference" from the people who knew and worked with him.
Supporters will...
It's a pity ordinary Americans can't grasp it. Sadly, the majority of Americans still think that Trump is the better bet for the economy, yet they cannot see -- as we've discovered in this forum -- that much of the damage caused by inflation begins with Trump policies while he was on office, and...
Surprising? Why? What is it that you think Trump supporters -- as you say who are very racist but you forgot to mention anti-everything that ain't straight, Christian, conservative -- wouldn't want the military to protect them from those horrible evils?
I wonder, actually, if anybody, anywhere...
