    How Many More Years Will Trump Serve As President?

    Impeachment? I don't see how. Even if convicted, Republicans wouldn't want to lose a shred of power. Declining to run again would seem to go against everything I know about Trump's desire for power and admiration. Winning a second term? I have every confidence that the Democrats can find a...

    Trump “Left Nothing But Ruins Everywhere He’s Gone”

    I question any presidents ability to create jobs. I'm looking towards Congress for that. But honestly, I haven't seen anything that would suggest we're going to make any significant improvements in that arena. Hoping for the best though.

    So much more black. It's the CF of the evil Star Trek universe!

    Right-wing double standards on terrorism and cop killings

    I don't understand the argument of "rather than". Can't it be both? The first two words in ISIS are Islamic State. A theocracy. A religious cult with political goals. I think it's fair to point out ISIS' political goals/motivations but I'm concerned with an argument that denies the...

    Woman sues Indiana trooper who asks if she's accepted Jesus

    I had to take a bit to look it up myself (I have time on my hands this morning). My very NON-lawyer understanding is that U.S.C. 1983 (the statue quoted in the suit) basically authorizes someone to sue the state or other government agency. Basically it gives one the RIGHT to sue, which...

    Woman sues Indiana trooper who asks if she's accepted Jesus

    Perhaps you're not seeing it because pain and anguish are never mentioned in either the suit or the tabloid site in the OP. As far as I can tell, that's completely made up by you.

    Woman sues Indiana trooper who asks if she's accepted Jesus

    Rights. Plural. The complaint outlines all of that. Did you read it?

    The condescension and racism behind American praise of the female pilot who bombed IS

    Atheism is not a philosophy, just like lack of belief in evolution is not, itself, a philosophy. Violent states rarely suffer from too much rationality. They often need the appeal to authority that only a cult can provide. Claiming your leader is foretold by a swallow, heralded by a...

    "while black" threads (report-free)

    Well... except that... So my question would be, was this a preemptive measure or was there an actual disruption? I'm concerned you're robbing the forum of some valuable discussion. If someone wants to make a counter thread in earnest, all the better. Sort of. It's hard to have a...

    Mystery Respiratory Illness in Children May Be Coming From Illegals

    :thumbsup: I suppose when you don't respect science, all manner of nonsense seems plausible.

    Yay! US #32 in the World!

    Why do you hate America. :P Are you making the case we should be more like Sweden?

    Mystery Respiratory Illness in Children May Be Coming From Illegals

    No, no no. See, what a virus does first is check to see your immigration status and if you don't have the right paperwork, it will infect you. If you are a citizen... don't worry, you are immune to all disease.

    President Obama Live on ISIS

    IS he getting congressional approval though? I'm no pacifist, I thought the humanitarian effort the President mentioned was worthwhile... but this seems like more Bush doctrine to me...

    President Obama Live on ISIS

    As an atheist, this actually irks me too as I think it's important to recognize their religious motivations.

    Maternity Leave in the US

    On the other side of that coin, don't you find it odd that pro-lifers are incredibly vocal concerning the fetus' but are conspicuously silent when it comes time to discuss the care of a child when it is born.

    It’s Official: President Obama Is The Best Economic President In Modern Times

    Could you explain that to this gentleman? And while you're at it, this gentleman as well... One of the sad things about that chart is that many on food stamps are working. The working poor are unfortunately subsidized via the government with things like said food stamp program...

    Are gay rights a civil rights issue?

    Obviously? Okay then, more than a few weeks? months? Years? Because it's already been over a decade and I've yet to see so much as a whisper of this. And as TLK pointed out, inappropriate behavior with animals is already legal in some states. Did the gay rights movement travel back in time? Actually the...
