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...

If there's any evidence of that at all, it should be investigated. I think the House of Representatives would be happy to jump on it if you can find them some evidence. But have you looked at how dictators like Hitler actually come to power? Often, by promoting claims like you just made. It gets to...

How do you think the US should keep want-to-be dictators in check? How do you think the US can keep want-to-be dictators who are also unelected puppet masters, in check?

Sorry, Boot, but Paul Graham is just not an advocate for biblical New Testament principles, full stop. And I don’t feel a need to see him as much of an authority on anything, other than venture capital. But I think the Bible does speak to some of this, some of it quite directly. And the Bible is an...

For reelection, I think this clause is also relevant: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congr...

The separation of powers is that the judiciary (particularly low level state or federal judges) are not in charge of the President, no matter how much they might want to be. The President is accountable to the voters for reelection and Congress for impeachment and the Senate for conviction. I don't...

Let's think about the next level from a biblical perspective: DH1. Ad Hominem. An ad hominem attack is not quite as weak as mere name-calling. It might actually carry some weight. For example, if a senator wrote an article saying senators' salaries should be increased, one could respond: Of course h...
