https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/21/politics/donald-trump-election-democratWow, me citing Cartoon News Network? Didn't see that one coming, but, just goes to show that this appears to be the Democrats' real beef against Trump: they just could not hold on to him. Just think, he should have run in 2016 for

So, what will happen to Trump the serial self-admitted 'grab em by the pussy' rapist and potential child rapist?Nothing?Why?It doesn't make sense for staunch Christians to now, at this stage, defend Trump. It's time to disassociate and throw him in a prison for all the rapes.I also think it's import

"Hypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different people and regularly denied it, but also dropped very public hints about how much he liked to have sex with goats for decades, and ran a goat pageant to find the best looking goats, and was best friends with someone

The 25A was ratified 61 years ago [1965] and, a good read of the text will reveal that Congress gave itself an opportunity to be one of the options to launch the 25A [other than the President, himself, the VP, or a majority of the Cabinet, all of whom do have that authority by the. 25A], but in the

Since I haven't seen anyone make a post on this, I'll take a crack at it. Among other thoughts I have, the defenses of the shooting I have seen all seem either blatantly nonfactual or intentionally vague to avoid having to discuss the facts in the first place. What seems to be agreed on is that Alex

In a story that will surprise no one who has been paying attention, Trump actually told Norwegian leadership that him not getting the Nobel peace prize is a big contributing factor to his decision to threaten military action to take Greenland.“According to both Bloomberg and Reuters,

In looking at universal care globally in the developed world theres an issue with analyzing wait times to get care. Is there a separate issue with how they 'ration' healthcare? I used to look at the rationing point as really an issue of wait times but now im wondering if it is actually a separate is

Every other developed country in the world covers everyone at half the cost that we do, mostly with better wait times elsewhere as wellThe main reason it costs less elsewhere is because they regulate medical prices. Most of these countries are not single payer... their system is supplemented by insu

Al Gore, offering a lecture at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was a patent bust, beginning with the above phrase while marching to the poorly-tuned drum of climate change ever since "An Inconvenient Truth," released 40 years ago and which was full of lies.

I support this ban. If a corp wants a home, let them finance a residence of their funded construction. Reducing the availability of single-famly homes by corporate greed is stupid when home ownership is as strained as it is now. I owned a home in San Francisco from new purchase in 1978 and moved out

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a publication of Congress. It is publicly funded and officially non-partisan as opposed to being, say, a privately company owned by a left-aligned oligarch. I bring them up as an edge case; a sin that the CRS is capable of committing is well within the rea

So all the talk about how trump was just "pretending" and acting unpredictable, was clearly proved false.talking bad of Venezuela constantly and accusing it of drugs was of course just preparation for invasion. He needed to prepare people for this mentally. Same was true for Iraq, and every other US

...and the rest must be part of the trump cult? Or, at least i doubt there's much overlap with people who want greenland and those who are also against trump To me, its plausible to take greenland for essential minerals and to prevent Russia and China from sneaking through... as who says the surviva

This is a current case before the Supreme Court to accept, or not. it may surprise some who think I’m a Trumper. I’ve said multiple times I am not, but your trend is disbelief.i hope the Court throws out the case, because it should not need litigation. The President does not have ultimate, unlimited
