I don't know anyone even on the "left" who asserts Biden, as the present contrasting representative in power now is remotely as though he is some God that Trump is given by the cult of irrational fandom granted to him. Pure nonsense. As if presidents do not and should not lie. What do you prefer to call "moral"? From a US president, I mean. I prefer a president who is able to avoid war and avoid killing as much as possible. Note that final part, as much as possible. Better an economic war than nuclear war. And that is what we are heading for under the current administration, because they take a hardline stance against Russia. Under Trump there was an effort to find some common understanding.

Your blind faith in a literal person AS THOUGH SOME SUPERIOR God, is ONLY for SPECIFIC contempory people who default to being like those extremes you hate on the left.

That form of social psychology is also an intentional manipulative tool being used by Trump. Trump is NOT a trivial entertainer though. While 'culture' is the place for such fandom, his MONO-cultural personality extreme is what fosters its counterattack by the complementary whole of all other MULTIPLE cultures shareing similar views.

What a whole lotta hooey and conjecture. You seem obsessed with Trump. He was just another president and actually did well in some areas, which many people approve of. Dismissing and demonizing those people is your undoing. It is not as though the "Left" cares about the plight of the poor while the right doesn't. That is crude and naive. Each side sees the problem, but their approach to solving it is quite different. Do I like seeing children separated from their families and thrown in detention while waiting for their immigration hearing? That occurred under Obama, Trump and Biden. But if I were American, would I like seeing a flood of people entering the country illegally, on foot and in truck trailers, these people knowing full well they will be protected upon their arrival. Yeah, I heard they caught some Al Qaeda coming in there. So much for Democrats theories. They lied so much, it screwed people's heads up. Those who believed and had faith in the system and its sanctioned media outlets had another thing coming. That's why you don't even know history. But it's not your fault. You are simply the product of a perverse modern civilization. Quote

OftenWrong Posted July 2, 2022 Report Posted July 2, 2022 Sorry but the argument in the OP completely falls apart under even just minimal scrutiny. It implies that since Don Trump is convicted of teeson, his appoitees are also guilty. Ok, so then those senators who voted for them, who voted these traitors into the supreme court, would also be guilty by extenshun. One can see how this rapidly descends to Stalinism.

Luz P. Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 Identity politics are dividing the country to the point of no return, and BTW, anyone with the illusion that the two-party system stands for different things is completely deluded. The rhetoric may be different, but the results are the same: They’re both pro-oligarchy. They both consistently favor big pharma, big tech, big banks, the military-industrial complex, etc., and both are squeezing the little guy to the max. Both are ineffective in affecting change and full of excuses and blame-shifting. The power Trump has is that he speaks to the masses that feel ignored by the left and its out-of-touch priorities. Most could care less about the woke agenda when they can’t stretch their paychecks till the end of the month and have to incur in debt just to make ends meet. Both Biden and Trump suck for different reasons. However, they’re similar in that both are leaders from the crypt in an evident state of mental decline and should be in a retirement home. In addition, both are corrupt to the core. There is one thing where I think Trump wins (is way worse) and that is that he single-handedly managed to lower the level of discourse and disguise it as freedom of speech. I wish the USA well, because if their last two presidents are any indication of the future of that country on the global stage - irrelevancy is the name of the game. Quote

That is why, anyone who argues history is unnecessary is a goddam fool in my opinion, and my sworn enemy. Yes, this could be about you... ask yourself... if the shoe fits. You missed the point. I wasn't arguing in favor of a dismissal of history but to the point about one's capacity to utilize external resources rather than requiring to memorize contingent data that is itself relatively less certain than one's capacity to use reason. Ford was being challenged for his lack of historical dates and figures in U.S. history in court as a faulty means to discredit his LOGICAL capcity to reason. They were trying to make him out to be "incompetent" intellectually when ones' capacity to be intellectual is not about one's capacity to memorize arbitrary data. Computer analogy: Memory is separate from the CPU. The CPU is the intellectual mechanism that acts as the logical 'intelligence', not the quantity of memory in RAM that you have. While having more memory capacity can ease the burden of solving problems, such as making one able to solve a problem quicker, it means absolutely nothing if the "intelligence" represented by the CPU is poor or non-existent. Memory is the data, not the process of thought, contrary to the massive majority of people's stupidity in thinking that those who have incredible memory (like those with great memory skills demonstrated on "Jeapordy") are somehow 'geniuses' !! Those with great memory capacity are not required to be the least intelligent. They just need to be able to respond to stimulii. Such skills in memory are called 'trivia' because they are trivial in meaning other than as 'data'. Quote

That is, since Trump intentionally set up the court to intentionally enable his insurrection NOT be convicted, is not his treason enough to relieve those justices? Obviously, I am for this but though this might be a distinct 'philosophical' thread for those questioning this.. What do you think?

"Removal" of the judges to me is not killing them!! It is retracting of their position as judges. And I in particular am arguing this removal based upon the nature of their nomination by a poisoned authority. That is, IF Donald Trump is proven criminal by any standards, I am suggesting the removals given his choice to select them where his capacity to 'select' in the interest of the people is proven to be suspect. The timing of the last one to his realization of losing his Presidency is severely suspect given the domination of the court by his own selection can skew how they might interpret any appeal of his for ANY future convictions. That would make him above the law IN PRINCIPLE! And THAT is what you are supporting. Call it what you will. I assert that you are supporting authoritarianism based upon your support of his Presidency regardless of the fact that his acts are indifferent to acting as a sovereign dictator, like a King. I don't support any violent acts against the judges I question. It is not their 'fault' to BE nominated and their coinciding favor to BE political would have to be a separate issue. Quote
