Re: trump off the CO ballot
They don't really care who wins, assuming any radical 'outsider' has been adequately assassinated by the corporate media. And that's where I'm having issues. I don't think the outsiders are being assassinated by media. I think they are outsiders because their ideas aren't popular. If I look at &quo...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Money, whether yours or donated, can give you a platform, but you cant buy votes. Technically correct, which as we all know is the best kind of correct, but you cannot deny that advertising manipulates people - that's its purpose. That's true, and the people doing it must feel like it works. I thin...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
I'll give it a shot. I should be able to find some time in the next few days.President Bush wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 5:30 am Meadmaker, have you ever read Justice John Paul Stevens dissent to the SCOTUS ruling on Citizen's United?
I recommend it, though it is long it is quite interesting.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
There are issues with the way we pick elected representatives, but there are issues everywhere in the world where there are elections. I'm just glad we have elections to complain about. If things were as bad as you say they are, power wouldn't shift back and forth the way it does in America. Oh com...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Perhaps you recall the dem primary in West Virginia where Bernie won every district by a lot. The state was given to Hillary. That sound like a democracy? I didn't recall that. So I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, Bernie Sanders won 51% of the popular vote. Hillary got 36% Other candidates sp...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
This fellow over at National Review doesn't like it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-bastardization-of-the-boy-scouts/ar-BB1m9BGJ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=LCTS&cvid=b53d3750dd45459094ec86e3d8555b7a&ei=12 The truth is, I'm quite sympathetic to what he is saying, except for one thing, but th...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Alan Dershowitz doesn't think too much of this case that Trump is now being tried for: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-trial-stupendous-legal-catastrophe-115500210.html I'm no lawyer, but I have paid attention to commentators on the case. I've heard Jon Stewart and Bill Maher talk about the case, b...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?

When I googled the subject, one of the first hits was an unofficial page for atheist scouts giving advice on how to navigate scouting as an atheist. Ba...
