    The Trump Card...

    Not even close. The lie that Trump praised white supremacists is what allows for people to paint both Trump and his supporters as white supremacists, Nazis, racists, and antisemites. They believe this to be true, one hundred percent, no doubt whatsoever. And if you believe someone to be those...

    Wanna make your liberal friends mad? (if they haven't already stopped talking to you by now) Trump is the most acquitted president in history.

    The Trump Card...

    Trump's lawyer David Schoen, the one who destroyed the Fine People Hoax on live television, only found out himself that the hoax was a hoax on the day when he was preparing his defense and decided to watch the full unedited video. He was astonished because he'd never heard the truth about it...

    That's a persuasive argument, too. If someone sues on contractual grounds they're likely to win, and set off a see-saw of appeals. I think what will eventually happen is Section 230 protection will be revoked for anyone who sensors speech that isn't already illegal.

    Sunday morning they called with a load 50 miles away in the Fort Worth area going to Little Rock. I looked outside and figured the roads didn't look too bad, very drivable, the snow is coming from the west so I'll drive out from underneath whatever is coming in no time, maybe by Rockwall. I...

    KAMALA HARRIS current VPOTUS

    Welp, now that you've successfully hijacked the thread, without trying very hard I can think of at least three alternative purposes for the post. However, as I am unable to read the mind of LDB, I am not as sure about it as you are. The fact remains, in any case, that Harris herself is...

    The Trump Card...

    The Supreme Court has long held that the Fifth Amendment applies outside a criminal courtroom. It's a really long list, but on that list is impeachments and testifying before Congress. But also, this was neither a criminal nor a civil trial, each of which has their own legal standards. This is...

    You might consider publicly revealing your thinking. It would certainly help with the conversation. But it's up to you.

    Just the opposite. The purpose of the Constitution is to place restrictions on the government, not to leave things open to interpretations that change with the whim of political winds. As Justice Scalia wrote, interpretation should be "guided by the text and not by intentions or ideals external...

    The Trump Card...

    That's not for former officials who have been impeached, that's for people who fought for the South during the Civil War. I realize how desperate Democrats are to punish Trump by any means necessary, in order to get that feel-good, schadenfreude dopamine hit, but you would first need a...

    It's not "whatever the president says, goes" if that's what you're thinking. It's the same terms and conditions that are always in place when the National Guard is deployed domestically, namely, in support of local law enforcement and protection of national interests and infrastructure, subject...

    And coincidentally, that's the one path enumerated in the Constitution for former officials.

    If CNN covered that live, then it's the first time the entire video had been played on their network. They didn't even cover the press conference live. CNN viewers, those who get their news exclusively from CNN and other mainstream media outlets, saw that video for the first time (if CNN covered...

    Question: If we had an honest and trusted press, would the Capitol riot have taken place? Nope. If the press was trusted and they reported the election was free and fair and transparent, that there was no fraud and it wasn't stolen, people would believe it. But the press isn't trusted, so...

    Most warnings are done behind the scenes and are never made public. Sometimes when private discussion is fruitless it can go public. When it becomes excessive, I still try my best to give someone every opportunity to stop the behavior in question. I agree. It's not helpful, but I don't recall...

    From ABC News: 'Democrats, too, flocked to House Impeachment manager after the Senate recessed for the night "presumably to praise their performance," according to a reporter in the chamber at the time.' Totally inappropriate. The Senate - by a simple majority, if the rules permit - should...
