Angry Trump slams Democrats' investigations after cutting infrastructure meeting short

Please keep that private.

 

Robots will probably be a realistic alternative to a hired hand. 2050? I doubt it.
2070 - maybe.

 

Too late.

 

AI, quantum computing, and super-fast wireless ... I don't think it will take fifty years.

 

You may be right.

 

You advanced the theory that the POTUS is blocking Congress.

You just can't explain how.

As for your NAMBLA reference, I think you doth protest too much.

 

And this is exactly why the US Constitution shouldn't be picked at.

As you say, no system is perfect....but ours led to the best form of government on the Earth.

This separation of powers....the struggle itself between the rights of the individual, the rights retained by the states, and the rights held by the federal government is the balance.

Giving more power to the federal government is EXACTLY what the founders wanted to avoid, and for good reason.

 

I understand & am familiar with the perspectives of your post, and portions of it contain merit. But the nation familiar to the founding fathers was very different from the nation we live in today. Their U.S. was about 97% agrarian. Our U.S. today is 98% non-agrarian. In their U.S. over 98% of all Americans lived in rural locations. Today the vast majority of Americans live in urban areas. They dealt with a national population of between 3 & 4 million. Today our population exceeds 330 million. For them, many Americans regarded their states as their country or nation. Today, few Americans think that way. State's rights divides Americans from one another, as was illustrated by the Civil War. I agree that all the categories you mentioned must have their own set of rights, I wouldn't support giving states more at the expense of either of the others.

 

Nope. You made that up.

Why would I explain "how" for a position I didn't take?

How many creeps are in your NAMBLA chapter?

 

Please stop begging your opposition to report you. A little self moderation would go a long way on this thread.

 

Yes, Big Government was already intolerable in the 18th century. It's far worse now.

 

Sure.

Uh huh.

NAMBLA is a leftist thing, so you'd probably have a lot more in common than I ever could.

 

How is it different in results going from 5% urban/95% rural in 1780 to 75% urban/25% rural in 2019?

There was an even greater disparity in percentages of urban/rural people at the founding than there is now.

Clearly this is indicative that the Constitution as written ensured the most populous colony of Virginia couldn't effectively control Georgia.

That's the point: the Constitution as written is designed to ensure that everyone has a voice.

 

The Constitution was designed to assure that every STATE has a voice, NOT every American. When the Constitution was written, many Americans regarded their home state as their "country." The framing fathers had to deal with that perception within the Constitution. But today, few Americans regard their home state as their "country." We are all "Americans," or citizens of the U.S. as a nation, and we feel free to travel thru or relocate to any state, anytime to set up residence. Therefore, the need for every state to have say in the election of our President, is no longer as important as the need for every American to feel his/her vote is important & reflects their values.

 

You sure know a lot about NAMBLA. What's in your closet?

 

Fact not in evidence. The investigation of Trump's possible connection to the Russians appears to have been justified.

I think the best evidence is that Congress has the right to see any tax return.

It remains to be seen. I think they do have the right as part of an impeachment inquiry.

Trump may not be able to stop McGhan from testifying.

No one is stopping Trump from doing his job.

 

However there are some Americans who are fighting back. https://saraacarter.com/ag-barr-bat...il&utm_term=0_5f3d745e4f-1b2d7e502b-283281805

 

A cartoon from 2012?

 

Yeah, some things never change.

 

Oh, I think you're right--they do know. @Nunya D.'s absurdly unrealistic narrative for passing legislation is a thoroughly dishonest defense of Trump's threat to disengage until Democrats stop investigating his Administration.

 

Im inclined to agree on both counts.

 

Why is a govt closer to you (where you live, and how much your vote counts) not preferable to a distant one (where you don't live, and where your vote counts for less)?

Globalists have never been able to answer this in a satisfactory manner.

 

Take it easy. We can't all be Canadian public school teachers imo!!!!!!!!!

 

Not entirely true, but you have a point. Majority governments in parliamentary systems can pretty much pass whatever they choose but often act with restraint given overall public opinion.

Oh, please--House Republicans before this year regularly passed legislation knowing it would get bogged down in the Senate. Democrats are following the same script.

 

OMG! Say it isn't so....anything but the political forum chat police!
