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

You can frankly believe whatever you want. The REAL problem is when a CANDIDATE refuses to accept the results of an election and tries to hold or seize power despite losing. Which is what Trump did in 2020. When that happens, history tells us the only way left for a people to rid themselves of a il...

Re: 130 Mennonites arrested in DC for Gaza protest

A number of years ago the local paper ran a piece on a woman from a local MCUSA church who was heading to Washington DC to join a Mennonite peace protest. She told the paper that they were hoping to be arrested at the protest which seemed off to me.

Re: Hunter Biden Plea Deal

Who is going to stop them? Hunter Biden? I mean I could subpoena you but if you don’t show up at my house there’s nothing I can really do about it because I don’t actually have the power to subpoena you. It looks like that’s what Hunter Biden decided was the case here as well? That Congress doesn’t...

Re: Hunter Biden Plea Deal

Hunter Biden is very much a gray area here. As a private citizen, Congress has no basis for subpoenaing him to testify about his own personal business ventures and taxes. The reason the House claims it is important for him to testify is because they assert that there are links between his business ...

Re: Hunter Biden Plea Deal

Can Congress just subpoena anyone? Judicial subpoenas have all kinds of rules and checks and balances. It doesn’t seem like Congress would just be able to subpoena private citizens for the kicks. If that private citizen is linked to corruption involving the President of United Sates, they have ever...

Re: Public Displays of Affection (PDA)!

Fancy you bring this up. Some years ago a man in a leadership position in his church often bragged about how great his marriage was, how his wife and him had no secrets, they had access to each other's cell phones and social account and so on. Guess what? Guy was a total dirt bag.... he was having ...
