    Final jurors seated for Trump’s hush money case, with opening statements set for Monday

    I thought you liked calling out "liberal hypocrisy", surely calling out conservative hypocrisy is fair game? Please bring dismissed by is a reward, not a punishment, it means you don't have the goods, you can't counter my argument, so you flee. It means I win.

    No, we are talking about the conservative law and order agenda and how hypocritical it is. I am not surprised you are leaning on your old crutch.

    Final jurors seated for Trump’s hush money case, with opening statements set for Monday

    Yes, white, conservative billionaires are the true oppressed class in the US. Spare me, conservatives who complain about "lawfare" against Trump are the same conservatives who either say nothing or support the cops shooting people like Daniel Shaver, Philando Castile, George Floyd, Tamir Rice...

    National Debt Myth

    Conservatives support big government by wanting the US to be a giant military spending, forcing social conservatism on people who don't want it and corporate subsidies. If the debt is such a big problem, why didn't the GOP reduce it from 2002 to 2004 or 2017 to 2019 when they had Congress and...

    When is the last time a Republican President or a Republican Congress actually lowered the debt?

    But that's interesting, if Japan is in an worst position towards its debt in terms of debt ratio to GDP ratio than the US, why would it have to put less it's GDP towards debt repayment? Shouldn't Japan be in an worst position for its debt than the US?

    When is the last time a Republican President or a Republican Congress actually lowered the debt?

    Okay, but does Japan currently spend a lot of its budget paying interest on its debt? I am not being glib here, I am actually curious. Their debt load is far bigger than their GDP, which is not quite the case in the US. I also think if anyone thinks the ancient people who vote for the GOP...

    When is the last time a Republican President or a Republican Congress actually lowered the debt?

    Doesn't Japan have the biggest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world? Are they spending a ton of money on interest of debt repayment? Also didn't the GOP just put the trillion dollars the US spent on the Iraq War on the old credit card? Are people who complain about the national debt, but insist the...

    The increasingly authoritarian-curious Republican Party

    Did it take you more than a second to come up with that non-response? Bullseye: Democrats are all bad authoritarians, but conservative elites are chosen by God to rule everyone and everyone has a patriotic duty to worship them. If you can't be bothered to come up with some actual evidence...

    The increasingly authoritarian-curious Republican Party

    I asked first. I don't know dude, it seems like a ton of conservatives will embrace big government in the name of ''family values'', military adventurism and punishing their enemies. Seems like a true believer like ModernDiogenes is at least honest about what he wants. Link? Do you have...

    The increasingly authoritarian-curious Republican Party

    See I really wish people here would address what the OP is saying, rather "No, it's the Democrats who are authoritarians". Do you believe personal responsibility applies to conservative elites or does it only apply people you dislike? ModernDiogenes seems like a true believer in Libertarianism...

    What matters more to conservatives?

    So clearly seperation powers and states rights doesn't allow for state government overreach, does it? So I say to you again, are you for a massive, intrusive government at the state level? 8th grade is too young learn about the Holocaust? When is an appropriate age? Not everyone has...

    What matters more to conservatives?

    Protection from what exactly? Books? Is something like Maus inappropriate for 8th graders? Who gets to decide which books are appropriate or not? Are any kids being taken to drag shows against their will? Do you have any evidence for that? Or are you talking abortion? So are Kate Cox and...

    What matters more to conservatives?

    So was slavery and Jim Crow covered under states rights and seperation of powers? That's what people who advocated for Jim Crow and slavery argued. You think something like Maus was akin to porn or do you even know what Maus is?

    What matters more to conservatives?

    So the small government ideology doesn't apply to state governments? State governments can act like feudal lords? That makes this whole small government ideology seem rather worthless if it lets a state governor act like a baron. Well, there are likely some poor kids whose parents can't afford...

    What matters more to conservatives?

    You are missing my point, I am not saying anyone would agree with slavery today. I am saying back in the past, people would have said slavery was a traditional value and was something that should have been left up to the states. Clearly not all traditional values are good and states' rights...
