Pope, you are no lefty. The ones i am referring to are cultists. They are not receptive to any information that may contradict their world view. In all of my dealings none are willing to read or listen to viewpoints that are outside their circle. I have offered to read or listen whomever they pick. I have done that and then critiqued the hell out…[Read more]

Well written and cogent the article about Islamic terror apologists. Just a couple of thoughts. Those two billion are mostly victims but not as perceived by the lefties. Just more idiots swept up by the rivers of belief and imposed morality. I think and hope a clash of…[Read more]

Sunday School 7 months, 1 week agoEnco,
I stand by what i said regarding the utility of declaratory judgments. I could add to what i said but i will leave it as is.
The ideal scenario is to have SCOTUS lay down the law of the land. Declaratory judgment might be or could be part of chain of causation that lands us there.

Enco,
I have only heard second hand about Real Time’s most recent episode. It is supposed to be repeated tomorrow on either CNN or HBO. I intend to watch.
In terms of declaratory judgments i searched declaratory judgment AI and here it is:
A declaratory judgment is a binding court declaration that defines the legal rights, obligations, or…[Read more]

Enco,
The issues you cited were legal. Those were the law. Economics interests and cultural sensibilities influence the decisions that change the law.
Declaratory Judgment is a tool. It is not the same as an issue fully litigated and having a judgment. In the matter of seizing ballots it could be quite useful. Since it can define the terms and…[Read more]

Reg,
That is a good segue for the latest episode of Real Time and the dire predictions involving AI.

Agree with Reg. Not a 4th amendment constitutional issue requiring probable cause. Bill of rights is about protecting individual citizens in their freedom, liberty etc. from government overreach. Not sure there is even precedent for this sort of thing. Seizing ballots? Not just seizing ballots but doing it in a systematic way in an attempt to…[Read more]

Politics 7 months, 1 week agoI don’t know any of the law concerning presidential pardons but the notion that a pardon eliminates the duty of restitution does not make sense to me. The victims have constitutional rights and that is at a minimum an unjust taking.

Sunday School 7 months, 2 weeks agoYeah Enco,
Agreed. Regime change is THE GOAL. Islamic stay in power and the goal is same but with greater urgency.
I listened to Christiannnnnneeee Amanpooooooooooooooooooooooor discuss the Iran war. She was very careful to exclude Islam from her lexicon. She used words like military and ideological but not Islamic, theocracy or terrorist.

Thanks. But (lol), I think I will still call myself a lefty, even if progressive is a more respected term… and I don’t even know if that is true. So I’m *also* progressive.
I know you mean well, and I also appreciate other speakers you offer, especially the women because their experiences are so often more first-hand than the men’s.

There is no question you have identified an issue. What did you call it, labelism? What is in a name? So many labels are LOADED. Imagine a lefty/progressive hearing MAGA or reading it. Conversely a Trump cultist who hears/reads progressive/lefty. You know the parts of the brain that register emotion are excited. If the label fits you must never…[Read more]
I just wrote a few paragraphs, finally seeming to be crafted for me more than you. Suffice to say in a shorter way, I used AI to summarize common usage of the word “lefty”, in a polisci context. I’m finally convinced that your usage of the word is valid. I felt defeated, at first, maybe even guilty of ignoring reality like a post-modernist…[Read more]
