I wanna point out, deciding not to hear the case could well be a good thing. The Supreme Court has to be really, really careful about what they decide to rule on because once they do, it's a precedent that will apply to every other court in the world and a nightmare to ever change and nobody...

I feel like worrying about fraud at this point is useless. The argument was made, in court, several times: it failed. Biden's in the White House and going to stay so chanting fraud over and over isn't going to do anything to change that. If there was a chance to do so the well was good and...

Eh, I'm not sure that matters. We're in an era where impeachment is only possible if you control both houses. If either party holds one, impeachment isn't happening, grounds or not.

I don't think there's any way he could have swung a Europe ban at the same time, he was undergoing impeachment at the time (recall that wouldn't be finished until February) and that was sapping a lot of Washington's attention and political power. He would have needed a much more united DC to...

Trump did manage to get a China travel ban in Jan. 31, 40 days before WHO declared it a pandemic. He was criticized by the WHO for doing so who said that was too extreme, and as for Biden... he called it hysterical xenophobia.

I regard capitalism as essentially the equivalent a vicious guard dog. It's highly useful for (producing rather than protecting) your wealth but must be kept on a tight leash to keep it from harming itself or others. Japanese and Israelis don't work for 5 dollars a day. Afghans, Chinese, and...

Because even if it hurts many, globalism makes others staggeringly rich. Where would Wal-Mart be without cheap Chinese labor? Yeah, tons of small business, mom and pop outfits, and many workers in the US lost out but the owners of Wal-Mart made off like bandits, and so everybody who mattered...

No. In the event the Vice President is also removed from office at or nearly at the same time, the Speaker of the House becomes President, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. So in the current situation, we'd get Nancy Pelosi as President if Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were impeached...

I honestly don't understand the question. The middle ages were nearly a thousand years long, stretching from the 5th to 15th centuries and Feudalism managed to keep things running that whole time, so clearly it had something going for it to keep things stable as long as it did. What keeps...

Actually I'd argue that feudalism was the most egalitarian system mankind's ever had. Sure, Kings had it good but the difference between peasant and king wasn't nearly as wide as the modern gap between poor and superrich, nor the slave vs. emperor situation that preceded it. Serfdom in which...
