Thank you for that clarification. I suspected as much.

I Think this is one of the "alternative facts" that is being disputed, viz., do these arrests constitute the arrest of a non-home grown terrorist from one of the subject countries, or an arrest for other reasons, e.g., driving without a valid drivers license! This seems an extremely low arrest...

It may be an interesting hearing. It will be streamed live. Of course the issue of constitutionality must be dealt with. Then there is the issue of standing for the plaintiffs , the AGs representing the States in this case, and that is wrapped up in the issue of "harm". Although this case is...

This is where I find something of interest in this argument. The executive branch is claiming that the President issued the order to protect national security; yet there is a wide body of expert opinion expressing the view that the President's order actually made the nation less secure. The...

No of course not. Calling the newly elected president Hitler would not, in my opinion, be "reasoned debate." I don't know anyone personally that has referred to Trump as Hitler but I understand that some have. I pointed out that there are a few obvious similarities between the two men. These...

Off hand, I can think of no better example than yours of the kind of reasoning that makes the empowerment of demagogues possible . [I added underlining to your quoted post above, as it seemed appropriate.]

No. It isn't. Go back and re-read your post in response to Arnie. That's what my response is in regard to . You wrote "By separating banking from prop trading, it kept commercial banks as places where money was safe to be kept." This of course is incorrect. Commercial banks were safe before...

This is a rather silly and childish poster. No reasonable person, other than in jest, would characterize someone as Hitler just because they didn't like them. My earlier comment had to do with the unreliability of popularity as a indicator of virtuous character, as Hitler was, and now Trump...

In retrospect, I don't like the will of the German Public at that time either.

Same as in NAZI Germany, as a matter of fact. Widespread support among the populace.

What I am aware of is that Miss Conway was not using the term in the legal sense, but as a synonym for "lie". Alternative fact: something claimed to be a fact but with trivial effort can be shown to be false. Example: Fact: The sun comes up in the East ; Alternative Fact: The Sun comes up in...

Are you aware that the CFMA and the "Financial Services Morderization Act" (a.k.a the GLBA) are two different animals?

Commercial banks were safe places for money to be kept both before and after the GLBA..

Attributing the "Financial Services Modernization Act" to Clinton is yet another fine example of the new Republican invention of "alternative fact" :D You and the article are correct of course, Deregulation of Financial Services is a thoroughly Republican endeavor! Rubin and Greenspan both...

It is common for those with psychoses and other clinical mental disorders to exhibit low cognitive complexity in their reasoning processes in a variety of tasks.

Yes of course. That is the point. A point which escapes Trump. The agreement has to do with Australia sending Refugees to the U.S. that can meet the U.S. vetting requirements as they stood at the time of the agreement. Australia has different requirements than does the U.S. to achieve legal...

Isn't this opposite to the response that is needed.. Why doesn't he offer additional help with protecting the campus and surrounding community from outside rioters not associated with the university? Milo should have been allowed to speak. Had the outside agitators been kept away chances are...

nice nail polish too!

This bizarre Trump tweet caught my eye: Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal! Psychiatrists and Psychologists have a measure of a persons ability to perceive and allow for subtle differences...

You may want to reconsider the company you're keeping.
