    Thoughtful Progressives See Common Ground With Alt Right

    Yes. We disagree on some of these points, because I believe unfettered capitalism, though I consider myself very much a capitalist, leads to tyranny and a curtailment of freedom. There is irony involved. Chomsky has written extensively on this topic. I try to avoid distilling the issue down...

    I very much agree with this, however I fear we would draw vastly different conclusions.

    Nepotism reaching new levels under Trump

    Surely we can afford to pay him more than that. Both D.C. and Palm beach are high cost of living areas.:D

    'Extensive' it seems is your word. But thank you nevertheless. In Europe, Great Britain and Scandinavia you will find that Libertarianism is not generally associated with "anarcho-capitalism." Spend some time with the Chomsky videos I gave links to , or better yet, read, should you want to...

    Nepotism reaching new levels under Trump

    As a tax payer you're happy to pay the son in law's salary to do something that won't amount to a "hill of beans."?

    Nepotism reaching new levels under Trump

    Turns out there is a document. In fact there is more than one. The Hawaii issued certificate of live birth, AND the birth announcement in the local newspaper at the time. Now that is curious. The Conspiracy must have been vast and deep! :D

    Nepotism reaching new levels under Trump

    Really can't agree. It is a bad idea to allow nepotism in the public sector no matter how qualified the appointee. A personal relationship always has the potential to cloud one's judgement.

    I am very much in the minority in the U.S. But I wasn't referring exclusively to the U.S. Sorry if I confused you.

    I did acknowledge that if this label continues to be misused to denote a form of anarcho-captialism, or 'minarcho' as in the article I am going to give you a link to, it will eventually change its meaning. It hasn't yet however. But what's happened is that the differences between those...

    I don't know what your true politics are. That's your business. But I hope you realize that Gary Johnson , like the majority of others here that are calling themselves Libertarians, is not a Libertarian. That's just a label they have co-opted. Of course if they keep this up people will...

    Thoughtful Progressives See Common Ground With Alt Right

    People may be forgetting the third and fourth parties. Ecuador, and Great Britain. It is not at all clear that Trump could prosecute Assange, even if he wanted too. If Trump wants to use Assange as a bargaining chip with the 'deep State' (whatever that is) he better hope the 'deep state' is...

    Poll: Trump’s First-Quarter Ratings Lowest For A President Since WWII

    Hardly! Did not I give you the transcript of the entire conversation with Matthews? And , because like Trump , I am wonderful, and no one is more wonderful than me*, I have now given you the entire Obama remarks. You'll have to agree, I am "WONDERFUL", everyone says so! ___________________ It...

    Poll: Trump’s First-Quarter Ratings Lowest For A President Since WWII

    Actually that statement was taken completely out of context. That is not at all what Obama said. I'm not defending Obama. I'm defending truth. The complete, in context, original remarks are here: http://www.factcheck.org/2012/07/you-didnt-build-that-uncut-and-unedited/ There’s no question...

    Poll: Trump’s First-Quarter Ratings Lowest For A President Since WWII

    I see the Sat. Morning Lunatic Asylum is out in full force. Transcript below, via MSNBC: MATTHEWS: Should the woman be punished? For having an abortion? TRUMP: Well look. MATTHEWS: This is not something you can dodge. TRUMP: It’s not— MATTHEWS: If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is...

    Is Hillary in jail yet?

    I am the only one here that knows she's already been investigated? :rolleyes: Of course Trump could just send in a swat team and have her locked her up, or just go ahead and execute her the way she executed her buddy Vince Foster, and a couple hundred other of her close friends, with a bullet to...

    Poll: Trump’s First-Quarter Ratings Lowest For A President Since WWII

    I don't know how you got on this illegal abortion kick. Tell me how many there were last year in the U.S. No on second thought , don't bother. I was talking about Trump telling us we ought to punish women who had an abortion. Never any mention of illegal abortions. You brought that up...

    Poll: Trump’s First-Quarter Ratings Lowest For A President Since WWII

    Funny how that works. As I recall, international inspectors were also unable to conclusively verify the absence of undeclared nuclear activities in Iraq as well. And we still, after a couple thousand years of inspecting and investigating haven't been able to verify the non-existence of God...
