    The Good Narrative Sure Has Shifted in the Last Three Days

    First, she was an innocent mother who had just dropped her child off to school and got confused in the melee. She wasn't innocent or confused. Stupid, yes. She was actually following them and purposely blocked the street, but she was peacefully letting people pass. Yeah, but...

    Something positive to say about President Obama?

    I think the democrats knew this when they passed it as a first step towards single-payer, gov't-run healthcare. The cost was so high if you didn't opt in, so they had to know it wasn't going to solve the problem. But IMHO they lied their asses off about it.

    Justice Gorsuch fails to see the forest for the trees in LEARNING RESOURCES, INC. v. TRUMP

    We are in complete agreement regarding the IEEPA. From what I understood, Gorsuch scorched the liberal justices for their opposition to Trump's emergency declaration but did support Biden's declarations as legal and constitutional. IOW, they were somewhat hypocritical, imagine that.

    Something positive to say about President Obama?

    My thoughts about Obama was that he could've been a transformational president if he had worked harder to bring us closer together racially and maybe politically, but he let his politics get in the way.

    Justice Gorsuch fails to see the forest for the trees in LEARNING RESOURCES, INC. v. TRUMP

    TBH, I didn't understand what the MQD really means. But I like the idea of Congress having the ability and responsibility to prevent the Executive from seizing too much power by declaring whatever to be an emergency. There has been a few articles about Trump declaring an emergency over the...

    Justice Gorsuch fails to see the forest for the trees in LEARNING RESOURCES, INC. v. TRUMP

    I don't see the problem with what Gorsuch is saying. Essentially he's saying that the Congress has the responsibility to terminate a president's declaration of an emergency under the National Emergency Act. Not the Courts, but Congress can and should do that. Whether they actually do it or not...

    A challenge for the "Tax the rich more" crowd.

    There's a reason why capital gains are taxed less than ordinary income, and that is because investments create jobs and spur economic growth. There's no getting around it, if you increase the capital gains tax rate then you get less investing and that means fewer jobs and less startups and...

    Do we NEED Congress?

    And if the democrats can't find anything then they'll make shit up like they did to Trump. At least we can vote the bad guys out of office, in theory anyway. But once Congress is discarded then we ain't a democratic gov't anymore and elections mean nothing. What we have now ain't good, but we...

    Do we NEED Congress?

    ??? You realize that unfettered does not mean unvetted, right? Unfettered means unrestrained or unlimited, so I'm having trouble understanding your point.

    Zone1 Can you find the Flaw in Atheist Speaker Christopher Hitchens' Logic Here.

    Being obscure and illiterate proves nothing, either way. And BTW the same thing could be said about Arabs who founded and now believe in Islam. They believe their religion is the true one too. Mr Hitchens, like Mr Dawkins are allowed to have their opinions. Just like everyone else, and...

    Do we NEED Congress?

    If you have no Congress then you have a dictatorship, a person that can do whatever he/she pleases and that usually never ends well for that society. Granted that today's Congress is pretty much an embarrassment of fraud, waste, and abuse + corruption that needs to be fixed, but IMHO even that...
