MennoNet.com

MennoNet indeed does look that way if one simply ignores the Politics group, which is, well, where political discussion happens. A forum full of conservative Anabaptists is not a good place to go to find (a) denouncements of your political enemies, and (b) endorsements of your political allies. Act...

No more stare decisis, then? Just keep bringing lawsuits until you get the verdict you want?

It ain't gonna happen, regardless. A new lawsuit on this same topic probably wouldn't make it to the Supreme Court.

The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trump was found innocent of the charges brought at impeachment. I definitely agree that Trump is eligible and will be on the ballot unless Congress acts. And that they are unlikely to. Two details I disagree with ......

As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding. The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trum...

As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding. I agree with you.

Do you think "facts" and arguments can exist in a disconnected fashion? I think that arguments about facts usually come from motives of someone who actually has some other agenda. I think it's good to have everyone's motives laid out on the table and say why they are really arguing for th...

It makes a lot of difference to me who the disagreement is with. With peripheral relationships where you rarely see the person, it's ok to smile, nod and say "I see you feel strongly about this." It's not a crisis that people somewhere disagree with me. Yes - but look at the lower levels ...

Back on page 55, there was a moderator request to stay on topic. Most of the past two pages have nothing to do with the topic. Good discussion, but please find the right place to have it. I think it would be helpful to clarify what "the topic" is. I think the topic is "Is Trump legall...

You mean he is threatening to do to them, what they did to him. Like purport lies about the Steele Dossier, promote the Trump/Russian collusion lie, etc. Ooooh, revenge! That's what we need presidents for! And personal, vindictive revenge! Forget innocent until proven guilty! Forget the dangers of ...

Has he been convicted of those 90 felonies at this point? No. And Biden has not been convicted of any of the things you have suggested either. I think the same rules need to apply to both Trump and Biden. Investigations and courts are the right place to figure out what is true and what is not. Shou...
