    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Trump's MAGA horde appears to be exceptionally deficient in discernment. Trump tells them Trump is a good president, and they believe him. In vivid contrast those that arrive at their own conclusions based on exercise of astuteness earn a higher score on cognition. That's consistent with the...

    Some may quote the holy book on the basis of it invoking the divine. Fine. "Faith" means belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. I welcome wisdom for merit of validity. No need to speculate about divinity.

    And Senator Paul [R] is so devoted a partisan hack his fidelity to party overshadowed his other motives? Senator Paul may be the least likely currently serving U.S. senator for that explanation. Even if we presume that to be true, is that what Republicans are threatening Fauci with? Is whatever...

    "Confuse"? Perhaps we can simplify the issue by considering what age range is suitable for exceeding children's (binary) gender perception. Let's not misoverestimate the childhood mind. Many adults recognize circus clowns as comedic. BUT ! Circus clowns terrify some children. To corroborate...

    Perhaps what constitutes a persuasive argument is somewhat subjective. We don't need a current example like Ariana Grande or a more terminal example like Karen Carpenter to remind / warn us about the consequences of those that wish to maintain their birth certificate statistics. If #1,898...

    The Republican Party: "Democracy needs its gatekeepers": The Republican Party is too corrupt to care about the country

    The meme earns a smirk. BUT ! Is there a deeper story here? In a general election, a partisan voter has incentive to vote for the candidate of his own party, even if ideologically he may prefer the opposing candidate. Why?
