One day, I hope, you'll tell me exactly what this "Hunter Laptop" story is really about, and how it affects the government, and even more importantly, how it affects this Trump/Harris race. I have asked, but so far, all I know is it's a phrase you use as if it has a meaning of its own.
You are...
Yeah, and if God didn't give you legs, you shouldn't thwart His divine will by using a wheelchair or other device. Just crawl on your belly as God intended!
Gotta love that God wisdom, eh?
The key being, not listening, reading or otherwise trying to discover what a candidate says and stands for makes you uninformed -- and uninformed people should do the honourable thing and withhold their vote altogether.
That is not true, any more than it is coercion than for your local sports store to ask for money in exchange for new Adidas running shoes.
In contractarian or rights-based ethics, the key principle would be autonomy and consent. If both parties have full autonomy, are well-informed, and are...
@Clizby Wampuscat, you laugh, but perhaps you've forgotten that shortly after his inauguration in 2017, Trump very pointedly called the press “enemy of the American people.”
Attacks on the media were as common as air in his presidential campaign, but this was a real turning point: this kind of...
I can always find heirloom tomatoes and carrots. What I can only very rarely find are black radishes. I think there are only a couple of growers in all of Canada.
If he has a Republican Senate, what's going to stop him? There's not one of them that isn't too craven to vote to convict if the House impeaches him, and SCOTUS has seen to it that no other lawful authority can do a damned thing about it.
Ah, well, America -- it was nice while it lasted.
"A republic -- if you can keep it." Let's see how prescient Franklin was. (The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they...
The New Yorker has an interesting piece by Adam Gopnik yesterday (October 17). It's behind a paywall, so I won't link, just give the first 2 paragraphs.
Adam Gopnik has been closely analyzing Donald Trump’s political power for nearly a decade. In 2016, he warned of the danger of assuming Trump...
Yahya Sinwar's actions all point to one conclusion, that in my view justifies celebrating his demise: he was prepared to offer up every Gazan Palestinian as a martyr in his single-minded quest to exterminate Israel.
With his death, there is the possibility (however small) of finding new...
I wouldn't say it's "my theology," but I certainly agree with you -- the way forward includes the security, peace and self-governance for both sides. Without that, this never ends.
Oh, man! I wish I had thought of how to articulate that -- because as I read the posts of RF's Trump supporters, that's the one thing I've always been convinced of: "How could you possibly say or think that, if you'd actually listened to the man?"
I didn't want to have suggest insanity, so I...
Speaking of pleading the Fifth, have you noticed he's just filed a motion to stop Jack Smith's release of the appendices to his 165-page brief until after the election. Anybody wonder why? Anybody suppose those appendices might contain actual evidence that shows Trump's personal and deliberate...
