modernpaladin replied to the thread Protester in DC -July 24.

Destroying govt property is a crime. Theres a guy in prison for ~20 years for breaking a temporary barricade. Prolly cost taxpayers as much as that flag did.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

So who has sovereignty then? Only Ukrainians that actually want to be Ukrainian? Its part of one, and many of the people there no longer want to be. Do they have...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

In what sense do the people in places like Donbas and Crimea have sovereignty if they cannot stop being part of Ukraine and start being part of Russia? "the people of part of...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

Russia is effectively a dictatorship. It doesnt matter what the Russian people want. It only matters what they will revolt over. And clearly it isn't going to be this war....

modernpaladin replied to the thread That Harris Smile will Take her Directly to the White House.

I ignore when people make claims as to what 'he says' without providing a direct quote... is that what you mean? And inflation is the very core of the matter.

modernpaladin replied to the thread That Harris Smile will Take her Directly to the White House.

Inflation is a tax. And on top of that unofficial tax, our IRS will be increasing official taxes to account for the unofficial tax of inflation.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Harris v. Trump polling.

Immigrants? Probably immigrants. Which isn't like slavery at all... :rolleyes:

modernpaladin replied to the thread That Harris Smile will Take her Directly to the White House.

You may have a point that Harris will get some votes based purely on her outward appearance and aire of positivity, there is, after all, no shortage of complacent, ignorant...

modernpaladin replied to the thread That Harris Smile will Take her Directly to the White House.

Oh, is she going to simplify the tax code to remove the thousands of exemptions and loopholes that allow the wealthiest corporations to skate tax free? ...or is she just...

modernpaladin liked Turtledude's post in the thread Does the 2nd protect access to weapons of war? That’s not the question..

modernpaladin replied to the thread Does the 2nd protect access to weapons of war? That’s not the question..

I don't think there is 'constitutional' precedent ...but historically those weapons protected by the 2A are weapons that are suitable for self defense. Those weapons deemed...

And they should fight to the death to prove you right!!

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

How does 'human rights' dictate that a nation cannot democratically cede any of its own territory to another nation? Keep in mind that much of the territory in question has...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

Well sure. My point is mostly that every time I suggest Ukraine needs concessions for peace, Im accused of 'Putin apologism' or just straight being a Russian agent. Presumably...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

Who decides that? The Ukrainian govt? Its a democracy, right?

modernpaladin replied to the thread Ukraine territory concessions.

Article says its 55% (probably some percentage resonded 'unsure' or something). But THE POINT is that cedeing territory becomes more and more acceptable ('popular') as the war...

I didn't realize there were so many Putin apologists in Ukraine! Keep going. There are still plenty of men between 20 and 60 still alive.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Is it too late for the GOP to replace Vance with Haley?.

A copout. There's no bait. No part of the hush money payments was illegal, other than he reported them incorrectly by not submitting the proper paperwork. That was all 35...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Is it too late for the GOP to replace Vance with Haley?.

Whats the work? Or do you not actually know how what Trump did is 'more' than just filling out the wrong paperwork? Do you just think 'it can't be that ridiculous, but I don't...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Is it too late for the GOP to replace Vance with Haley?.

That was the only illegal part of what he did. I notice you didn't even try to provide a counterpoint, just basically said 'Nuh-uuuh!!' That's not really an argument... just...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Is it too late for the GOP to replace Vance with Haley?.

Its funny(sad) if you actually believe that. People hate the ineptitude and corruption of our entrenched elitist bureaucracy. Failure to recognize that will continue to result...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Kimberly Cheatle Is A DEI Failure!.

This is just the inevitable result of putting bureaucrats in charge of everything. If its not in their spreadsheets or policy handbooks, they dont know it.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Is it too late for the GOP to replace Vance with Haley?.

Nobody wants Haley. ...correction, nobody thats voting for Trump wants Haley.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake.

Oh I get it. The Trump hating left actually think they're mind readers and hate Trump because they think he thinks like them. Its all so clear now. ....:rolleyes:

modernpaladin liked popscott's post in the thread Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake.

Why do you post a title thread "Trump Suddenly Thinks" when it has nothing to do with what Trump thinks? You and the "opinion piece" quote everyone except Trump.. Show Trump...

modernpaladin replied to the thread What about trying universal healthcare on a state level?.

How does the number of providers increase?

modernpaladin liked An Taibhse's post in the thread What is a "weapon of war".

It seems obvious the euphemism ‘weapons of war’ stem from an arguement using ignorance as an authority.

modernpaladin liked Turtledude's post in the thread What is a "weapon of war".

gun banners constantly complain about American Citizens having access to weapons of war. They never ever explain what that term means and why it has some sort of significance...

They gotta have someone lined up already. They can't be that inept.

modernpaladin replied to the thread What about trying universal healthcare on a state level?.

Absolutely. So what makes you think nationalizing it or subsidizing it or whatever is going to make it better? It'll still be greedy corporations providing the care with no...
