    Flashback: "Russia, If You're Listening..."

    I am not against this going to the courts. I am saying that that isn’t the only criteria to determine whether “hard evidence” exists. This isn’t “just” a criminal case and the courts are not the sole arbiters to determine the existence of evidence. That’s a ridiculous position— investigations...

    Flashback: "Russia, If You're Listening..."

    “Just a joke, bro!” -the President’s supporters, when explaining why then-candidate Trump appealed to a non-allied foreign government to illegally obtain material on a US citizen.

    Flashback: "Russia, If You're Listening..."

    Why do you believe the courts are the only arbiter of “hard evidence”? For example, published scientific papers are hard evidence, but they are not court-arbitrated. Connecting “hard evidence” with the courts seems to be an unreasonable and unrealistic goalpost. Every US intelligence agency...

    Trump's 'Fake News'

    This is not speculation. Trump is on record claiming multiple, contradicting stories about the Trump Tower meeting. Since all cannot be true, he definitely has lied about the meeting.

    President Trump donations another $100,000

    I could understand arguing that the Trump admin policies aren’t racist, but honestly, how could you not know about the environmentally-adverse policies?

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    More evidence: “National Health Insurance (NHI) systems combine NHS regulation structures and tax financing with the dominance of private actors in the service provision dimension. NHI systems include Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, and New Zealand. In the healthcare literature, these...

    President Trump donations another $100,000

    You don’t have to say “good job” but neither would I crap all over the good deed, e.g. saying that it’s “worthless”, or saying how $100,000 isn’t really that much money, etc.

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    Are you talking about the Non-Hospital Medical and Surgical Facilities license you mentioned? If so, I do not see how it supports your position that the Canadian government owns the hospitals. It’s about the regulations on non-hospital entities. I provided proof that the majority of hospitals...

    President Trump donations another $100,000

    Even if a good deed is done for selfish reason (e.g. good optics, distraction), it’s still a good deed. I’m glad Trump is following through with this promise— I honestly wouldn’t have expected it of him.

    Should It Be So Difficult To Amend The Constitution?

    While I think the Constitution should be a living document with the ability to be amended, I do not trust our political climate at all. Partisanship ruins the ability to compromise. Money is corrupting everything. I would be very frightened if a Constitutional Convention was called now. As such...

    Which political party actually acts like Nazis? Trump Jr says it's the Democrats.

    Funny this whole thread (and the point of the OP) is about those on the right trying to paint Democrats as Nazi’s because Antifa is violent.

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    I’m sorry Shad. I’ve provided plenty of evidence for my position. I’ve cited sources that contradict your position. The very definitions of a Beveridge Model vs a single payer national health insurance model contradict your position. I have made a good faith effort. You have simply replied that...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    ?? You’re all over the place. I’m saying that health insurance companies are performing non-scientifically rigorous experiments on people when they force them to go on different medications than the ones their doctor recommends. Your argument was that it couldn’t be an experiment because it...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    That’s why I called them “non-scientific”. Absolutely. But to imply that health insurance companies are doing this (with health outcomes rather than profitability as the goal) is laughable. Not an ad hom in the least. You questioned whether something even occurred and now you are trying to...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    I have found nothing on the internet to support your position. Everything clearly states that the majority of healthcare in Canada is (in general) publicly funded but privately provided. From the Healthcare in Canada Wikipedia: “The government does not participate in day-to-day care...”...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    How is it not experimentation? I also highly doubt that epidemiologists are studying every single time a health insurance company does this. Again, I’m amazed that at the beginning of this thread you weren’t even sure that it happened, and now you’re suddenly a fount of knowledge as to the...

    Which political party actually acts like Nazis? Trump Jr says it's the Democrats.

    Antifa was created to protect protesters from fascist (generally white supremecist or alt-right) violence. They decided that violence required a violent response. They were not created in a vacuum: without alt-right violence or threat of violence, there wouldn’t have been Antifa. Your myopic...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    But I am talking about hospitals. I don’t even know what you mean by institution. The UK government literally runs the hospitals. I’m not sure how else to state that. The same is simply not true of Canada. Hey I didn’t come up with the name. It’s not my fault that Canada’s system is called a...

    Positive conservative views on "single payer" health care

    What would you call forcing people to try medicine B instead of medicine A prescribed by their doctor? The hope is that a cheaper medicine will do the trick... it’s an experiment forced upon the patient with the goal of reducing cost for the insurance company.
