Oh, well, then you'll have to take that up with Tucker Carlson (who recently fawned over Putin in an interview), Paul Manafort (who supported the pro-Russian president of Ukraine and worked for other Russian interests), Rick Gates (who worked with Manafort on some of those projects), Michael...

Or do you think it's ridiculous to claim that conservatives want to get in bed with Russia?

I'll concede I'm not the history buff that others are, so if there's an argument that we didn't need Stalin's help in defeating Hitler, I'd entertain it.

You're probably right. We wouldn't have won without getting in bed with Russia, and it's only conservatives who are eager to do that these days.

lol, yeah, because there aren't any COCky conservatives running around thinking they know it all. What is it, exactly, that we haven't tried yet? We've tried letting companies do whatever they want and, once again, many of them have shown a willingness to abuse the system for their own ends...

Not really, no. The impact of these rules extend well beyond the bounds of a particular state and there's nothing special about one state that would warrant different rules on this subject. "States' rights" is often just code for "Rights of the powerful." That's a good example of why it's...

I think the people involved in them are... not good people, but I'd like left-wing protests to be treated with the same sort of respect and consideration as the right wing groups. Amusingly, I think this disparity is the strongest case I've seen for the argument that being armed is a legitimate...

It's not great, but I've seen folks far younger make the same mistakes. For example, I've had professional voice actors submit audition tapes (to a very high-profile project) where they read the phrase "strained exertion" instead of making a grunting sound. Perhaps the most famous incident like...

There's a Matt Gaetz joke in there somewhere.

It’s always scotch o’clock at my house.

That's why I don't understand the argument that they're designed to protect trade secrets. I could maybe understand it if you're in an industry where product development is so fast that a few months' delay is going to make insider information irrelevant, but outside of that, what's the point...

Your logic makes sense, but can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would come from having to pay out an extra 6-24 months of salary continuance for everybody who quit?

Depends on what they wanted from the audit. If they wanted a real audit, then yes. If they wanted somebody who'd look the other way and rubber stamp anything, then no. From what I gather, this guy has a bit of a reputation, so my assumption is that both sides of that transaction knew exactly...

Speaking of their auditor, BF Borger: https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-media-auditor-misspelt-name-14-different-ways-ft-2024-4 Ben F Borgers, the founder and managing partner of the accounting firm BF Borgers, spelled his name in 14 different ways in regulatory filings, the Financial Times...

The "Similar Threads" section at the bottom of the page reminded me of this thread I started a few years ago: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/epas-new-coal-pollution-rules-more-death-more-asthma.8078340/ Trump's coal plant rule would've resulted in up to 1400 additional deaths. Maybe...

He's not shutting them down. He's making them clean up after themselves. If that's not fascism, I don't know what is.

I make no predictions about whether or not this will withstand legal scrutiny, but I've been around the block with libertarians enough to not trust their prognostications.

I guess he means that it won't be tolerated anymore. https://www.texasobserver.org/homegrown-neo-fascist-movement-marches-in-austin/ I guess he doesn't support free speech on college campuses anymore.

They're not enforcing federal election laws on Trump. Enforcing federal election laws on him would entail prosecuting him for the campaign finance violation. What they're prosecuting him for is a NY State law that he violated. The federal crime is only an issue because it enables them to upgrade...

I know, right? I don't have a high opinion of many of my fellow American Christians on this subject, but amazingly, there are a few of us with enough discernment to see through the innuendos that the right tosses around.
