Oh, you mean like vote twice?

That is exactly right in my opinion with regard to both sides. And then, should the result not be accepted, it becomes a matter of whether the Congress will speak with one mind and follow the law and, if necessary the 20th Amendment. We have learned, I would think, that there is not just an...

I don't believe this is correct. The Constitution Speaks exactly to what will happen in the case, where it is time to install a new president, yet no one has been elected*, or has been elected but found unqualified. Qualification, of course, and among other things, includes being elected by the...

No problem there, I'll be fine.. It is possible to live in an authoritarian country by keeping your head low, and your mouth shut. We haven't arrived at that unhappy state yet.

So, in other words, the actual situation with Trump is far worse than anyone could have imagined. Sound mental health in a President is terribly important, because we have learned that neither the Cabinet nor the Senate can be counted on to do their Constitutional duty and replace a dangerous...

??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What. Why would they.. what's special about August. A hundred billion or so and you've pretty much done what you can to help. They said they would help out a bit after the CARES Act authorized it. But they didn't say they would buy anything that came along...

Anyone who believes Trump will do anything he says he will do, is a fool. If you want to know what Trump will do, find out who has spurned him, who he has fought with, who has made him look like a fool, who has told the truth -- that's who he will go after and try to ruin...if Congress lets him...

We need people such a yourself to get involved, speak up, and insist that the necessary changes be made. My understanding of what the "defund the police" people have in mind is the same as yours -- diverting some funds to areas that would be helpful to the police. Talk isn't enough we need...

All of this is true, and as useful as if I were to point out that not everyone goes to bed at the same hour. But what should we do about too many unjustified police killings? I have suggested real actions. But I'm not going to claim they are they only, or the best actions. What I propose won't...

I have absolutely no reason to doubt that what you post is correct. It seems the important question is whether the "local police" were officially police? If the were, then regardless of their affiliation, every one they killed was an official police killing. Lets not lose sight of that, and...

Possibly less would be an improvement. They seem to be very good at avoiding contact with "armed suspects." And even without conventional weapons they still have knees. A "nice" number to compare. The number police killed last year compared to the number of police killed. Also the number of...

I don't think "defund the police" has got it quite right. "Disarm the Police" makes more sense. Let's let them go on maintaining law and order, but for god sake, let's not let them anywhere near weapons, because they've shown themselves to be incapable of the judgement needed to use them. As...

He warned us. There would be so much winning, we'd get tired of wining. And just look at it, wining, wining, wining, all the time wining. I am so fucking tired of wining.

I found it incoherent.

Edits to post #92. Lines as noted should read as follows: ln 5:...particular commodity sufficiently constant; thus currency based on the redemption value of a commodity would be as volatile as the commodity itself. ln 9:...In it's most recent incarnation, the gold standard could only be...

All this NY City talk. Fake News. It'll just go away. It will be like a miracle. And just go away.

Can you read Greek upside down and backwards without the aid of mirrors? If so, the books can be recommended. If there is any justice, the English teacher who let Brooks out of the ninth grade should be now be burning in the fires of hell.

I really appreciate your honest answer. And I have now a very good idea of where your thinking is coming from. I will probably respond more later, but will say now why a gold or any other commodity standard for money appears to be unworkable, and it had to be abandoned. The unsolved...

What a fucking wonderful place Colorado would be if only it had Mississippi's Governor.

You misread.. It's 70% of their 100K income is taxable. this, at a 20% tax rate leads to ~14% tax rate on gross income of 100K not far from what people pay now. Just using your example with more realistic values. Not many big families nowadays.
