This is just lazy. It took sub-1 second to google for this information. "However, after George Floyd’s death, Joe Biden repeatedly condemned violent protests. In a May 31 post on his blog shortly after George Floyd’s death, he wrote, “

Trump has committed more drone strikes than Obama. The only reason most people don't know this is because the Trump admin did away with all transparency requirements. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2019/5&#

What do you think is being administered at the Federal Level that isn't 1) really just a way to distribute money to the states and 2) should be administered strictly by the states themselves that won't violate the interstate claus

The issue with your assertion is that it doesn't account for all the times the polls are right. See most mid-term elections. I think we have to seriously consider that Trump just breaks things that otherwise would be working within rea

The fundamental flaw is that a lot of things can only be accomplished at the Federal level. 50 plans for global climate change not only doesn't make sense, it would result in direct violation of the interstate clause.

Follow Up: The NY Post editorial board, one of the few boards that endorsed Trump has offered the following advice: "Get Rudy Giuliani off TV." Even the Post doesn't give Giuliani credence. Trump will get recounts, none of th

That isn't a consequence of globalization. I don't want to downplay the seriousness of this, because I agree that is a problem, but not one caused by globalization, but rather NIMBYism. And this goes into my point about security a

The Trump admin has performed more drone strikes than the Obama admin. The difference is transparency. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2019/5/8/18619206/under-do...

Yes, at one time Giuliani did good things. That was over 25 years ago. Giuliani is nothing more than a muckraker for Trump nowadays. And yes that is a prediction. But it is an informed prediction. It is informed by the fact that so far, eve

This isn't some philosophy or political science class. We are a Constitutional Republic which is a fancy way of saying that we are a type of democracy. One which the POTUS swore an oath to uphold.

Hmm, who to believe, a hacker news headline about sun activity which has shown no correlation let alone causation or the IPCC panel? Tough choice. This is like picking who to do a life saving surgery between an actual surgeon and a clown. Y

I mean the argument is not well thought even as presented. Scientists go through great lengths to explain climate phenomena due to other factors, el nino being one that most people are aware of.

And why should it. According to the WSJ news side, Joe Biden had nothing to do with anything in that story. If there was an actual story here, the DOJ and FBI are more than capable of launching an investigation. The NYTimes, WaPo, LaTimes,
