Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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...

But it's moot unless you can convince Mike Johnson to agree with you....

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
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...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
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 ...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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 ...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
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? We are seeing that right now, right before our eyes. The puppet being Biden and the identity of the puppet masters unknown. If th...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
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...
