The more people who have to be involved in a conspiracy, the less likely it is that it actually happened, as a rule. If you see someone spinning a narrative around hundreds or thousands of participants, it's pretty likely that it's not real, an attempt to fit a narrative to a crude set of...

It's sure looking like we're facing an impending coup. Donald Trump is an authoritarian who does not recognize the rule of law, and does not permit any sort of accountability for himself. He has been attacking the investigations against him all year, but in the last week, members of his own...

Can someone (a conservative) please explain conservatism to me in the age of Trump? It's main principles, it's ideals, what it's supposed to stand for? Because it's really hard to tell if there's anything but naked partisanship and leader-worship. Feel free to lay out any part of it, or an...

Oh, that was news to me. I hadn't heard yet.

Wow, you are super racist.

Gee, if only you'd figured out the dangers of such rhetoric 30 years ago...

I think that situation is an extreme outlier.

I'd call it white fragility. That's how I understand it.

Vann wasn't vilifying white people. He was pointing out that Trump was elected by stoking the fears held by a lot of mostly white people.

It's easy to be at peace when you're not under attack. He can get bent.

Nope. Never conducted or encouraged a beheading in my life. That is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. By the same logic, I assume that if some Tea Partier carries a sign portraying the lynching of Barack Obama, it's just as bad as actually lynching him? Liar.

If you're going to try to lump Jihadis in with Democrats, I'm gonna call you out. Deal with it.

Just, no. You should really know better.

Better than you...

Three obvious observations: 1. You clearly believe that because he is black and it bolsters what you'd prefer to believe anyway, not because of a consideration of the available evidence. 2. The baseline for the progress of black Americans starts at slavery, and rises to gradually decreasing...

Exactly. We've got a real problem in this country with white folks who are just as radicalized as the Muslims they purport to be worried about. It was pointed out to me recently that all of the terrorist attacks that have occurred in the US within the intended time-frame of Trump's travel ban...

I'd take a billion mosquitoes rather than one Trump.

The world where he offers cogent rationales for his activities rather than incoherent rants, conspiracy theories, and racism. So, a different one.

Trump didn't offer an argument about his fairness, objectivity, or about how he applied the law. He didn't even offer an argument about his membership in La Raza. If we were to take your approach here, we'd need to demand more from Trump.

Not until after I answered the question. I switched to all-caps to reiterate the detail which I've said many times that obviates your question, which you've been deliberately dodging all along. There's no requirement anywhere in the law that the judge be free of any conceivable interest in...
