@_TruthZone_ I believe in evidence-based science. And clearly, when you look out, you can see that the Earth is flat. A few bumps here and there, but definitely flat. I put a glass of water on the table: flat, no bends. A large swimming pool? Surface is flat. No question about it!

As my great-nth grandfather famously said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." The fact is, mutual good will has been absent for a LONG time as the elites plunder the masses whom they regard as untermenschen. Large corporations are increasingly inhuman - indeed algorithmic. How to repair such a busted polity? Do we have sufficient shared values and if so can those who do find a way to repair a system designed to deceive and plunder? At least in this relatively young American republic, we are in uncharted waters. And it has always been dodgy from the get-go which is why the original Constitutional Convention was so fractious. One could argue that the Framers were unable to frame well ab initio. I think the way Trump 2.0 is going about everything right now is overly hasty, sensationalist, media-driven, imprecise, seemingly improvisational. Feels reckless. Bold, yes, but also reckless. Am still hopeful because brought indoctrinated by Hollywood transmitted 'American Dream' positivity, but common sense is telling me things ain't lookin' good. Going to be a long century!

@CynicalPublius America has been a post-constitutional kleptocracy for some time. Hardly surprising it's a thicket of inconsistencies overlaid with dense brush of lies. The US is about to go through intense turmoil. There is no clean and easy way through this mess.

@JamesFBrown24 @KeenAura @JonathanTurley Why don't you drop your imagined profile and just read what I wrote? You got me totally wrong. If you look at some of my other posts - including haiku, or about post-materialist philosophy - you would quickly see. I was just answering Tobin's question. What a waste of time!

@JamesFBrown24 @KeenAura @JonathanTurley I just reread the original post and my response. Mine is not so bad. I start with "I don't agree with his actions in the slightest. But I believe his cause is that he is striking a blow on behalf of ordinary people against....." I am trying to explain his cause (not mine).

@CynicalPublius I wld never trust doctors to do something like that. I had one procedure in Canada 20 years ago and ever since have been bleeding every day and they can't fix it. I went to dentists all my life and paid 0000's, but have lost most of my teeth. For some it's great, for others not.

@Nancyb22000 @KeenAura @JonathanTurley No. I was answering the question: 'what cause would that be?' I was not telling you what I think but what I imagine his supporters are thinking. Seemingly this is too hard for some to understand. Apologies for any confusion.

@KeenAura @JonathanTurley I wasn't expressing my own opinion which is that I don't agree with what he did. I was answering Turley's question: 'what cause would that be?' I am imagining what those who are donating to him think. I might be wrong. In any case, it's not what I think.

@JamesFBrown24 @KeenAura @JonathanTurley I was answering the OP question: 'what cause would that be?' This is not my opinion necessarily, but what I think some people who support this murderer think. I am not a democrat. Your projections are 1000% out of whack. The one digging has been yourself from the get-go!

@HenryMakow Doesn't look American at all. Nor the top-hatted gent behind him. Also a tad thuggish, both of them.

@solari_the But are the States superior to the Federales in this situation where they are objecting to how the Treasury Secretary is auditing his own Department. Surely this is not a States issue?

@OcrazioCornPop This has to stop. These cases must go to SCOTUS which must be the only Court able to do these nationwide injunctions. The Lower Courts can send them up but not block at their level. And until SCOTUS blocks, they remain in effect.

@OcrazioCornPop @SpeakerJohnson Frankly, I'm sick of ALL these clowns. The two teams don't make any sense any more. Just shut it all down. Please.

@CynicalPublius I have an 83 Jeep CJ5. Drives like dragging a bucket of rocks over gravel. But cool.
