The Hall of Fire

I'm not being reasonable because I recognize the difference between interference and collusion.

Seriously?

I do know the news about the show indictments of the Russian citizens. Perhaps we should ask to see their long form birth certificates, just to prove they are the nationality they claim to be, because after all this is the same level of "logic". "Russiagate" is the new "birt...

Neither. I'm just recognizing that it happens, has happened, as as long as we give way too much power to the government, will always continue to happen. To eliminate the symptom (foreign interference) you must treat the cause. What needs to be shown if you want ire is collusion, not interference. An...

They meddled by telling us what Hillary was doing, which means they meddled by being honest. How awful, telling the truth about Hillary. Why anyone who wants to tell the truth about Hillary usually commits suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head. This is the way the world works. They...

Good grief. 1. Every country spies on other countries. Even allies. There are British spies in the US. There are US spies in Britain. 2. Every country does try to influence elections in other countries that matter to the country. The US does it to other countries, other countries do it to the US. Th...

AKA taxation without representation. Didn't people get quite upset about that at one point? Not quite the same. They were taxed by their own government without representation. If I visit another country, I'm not in a great position to complain about their taxation policy. Are you advocating an easy...

Okay, everyone wants to say Trump is wrong, but nobody wants to say what is right. But if you don't have a "what is right" how can you say he is wrong? I don't really think you need to have a fully formed policy opinion to say that caging kids is wrong. However, and this is a major sticki...

Okay, everyone wants to say Trump is wrong, but nobody wants to say what is right. But if you don't have a "what is right" how can you say he is wrong? I believe that our current set of immigration laws are much too strict and should be loosened. It should be sufficient to pass only an ID ...

I think all the people accusing Trump of treason for talking to Putin are very entertaining.

A populist Democrat from Manhattan gets elected as a Republican and everyone loses their mind.

If the indicted Russians don't provide long-form birth certificates, it proves collusion. Birther logic applies to this issue.

Maybe we should ask for the birth certificates of the indicted Russians.

Resist them is fine. Protest them. Tell other people all about how wrong they are. Argue with them directly. Defend yourself if they attack first.

That's different from what is discussed in this thread, where the question is asked if acting like a Nazi is a good way to deal with Nazis.

I read it differently, C_G. I read it as people who are killing for their own material gain still consider themselves better than Nazis (for whom even the material gain argument would not work). The latter express hatred towards *certain* others for simply *existing*. The Joker isn't just a "l...

After much though I have decided that cartoon panel is actually quite fitting. The Red Skull is, of course, playing the part of the Nazis, meaning that the Joker is playing the part of Antifa. That means Batman and Captain America are playing the part of Sane People With An Intense Dislike For Viole...

That is why V thinks I'm pro-life and Ted Cruz isn't. C_G, you are welcome to post your own views here, so long as you follow our rules of civility.

As for pro-choice, the term is generally accepted in the U.S. to mean believing that a woman has a right, implied in and therefore guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, to make her own choices about reproductive rights. Huh. I've always interpreted "pro-choice" to mean a belief that women ...

The argument for sending it back to the states is the judges deciding whether or not RvW is constitutional. It has happened before that the court has reversed itself. I said I'm not state's rights, I'm a federalist, as distasteful as that word is to me. That means I truly believe that the rules the ...

So sometimes Antifa does something good. If it was Antifa. I don't see two sides, I see three. 1. Neo-Nazis, not the real thing, a bunch of dumb punks who would be first in the concentration camps if real Nazis took over. 2. Antifa, a bunch of Role-Playing college students who would be first in the ...
