  10. 13:42 Gumbie without any of those checks and balances
  11. 13:43 Lensch War powers in the USA are a mess.
  12. 13:43 MacGuffin he is bound by law
  13. 13:43 Gumbie if you think trump is a dictator currently, just hope congress don't offically declare war
  14. 13:44 MacGuffin if he tries to break the law, the military might also break the law but in the opposite direction
  15. 13:44 Lensch One can only hope @ military resisting the despotism of Trump.

  26. 13:46 Gumbie why invade when USa is for sale
  27. 13:46 MacGuffin "We can't afford it." ...true, and neither can the enemy
  28. 13:46 chEEKie the left will revolt after their decades of weflare/scoial programs collapse the dollar, then demand to be given more free shit, which no one will be able to fund

  42. 13:48 MacGuffin defense contractors benefit during peacetime just by using the threat of benefiting during wartime
  43. 13:48 Lensch Donald Trump is currently being advised to have a private, contractor army that reports directly to him.
  44. 13:48 Gumbie they learn after the fact usually... truth comes out eventually/
  45. 13:49 Gumbie recognition, and acceptance is another part of that tho
  46. 13:49 chEEKie yeah, by the time "the truth comes out"... the company has already shuttered

  79. 13:52 Gumbie One of my issues with trump is at first he acted and said He was the smartest, and everything he discovered was a new revolation not to just him, but with the way he said it everyone else too
  80. 13:52 Lensch A single poll is less accurate than an aggregation of polls.
  81. 13:53 Lensch https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/
  82. 13:53 urlinfo *** Content type: text/html
  83. 13:53 [pack] Lensch, better than yours
  84. 13:53 Lensch Trump is currently at a 40.0% approval rating.

  106. 13:55 Lensch Donald J. Trump is a dictator.

  115. 13:56 Lensch Answering a question with a question is a valid response in some systems.
  116. 13:56 gjvc not in this one
  117. 13:56 Lensch There are these four ways of answering questions. Which four? There are questions that should be answered categorically [straightforwardly yes, no, this, that]. There are questions that should be answered with an analytical (qualified) answer [defining or redefining the terms]. There are questions that should be answered with a counter-question...
  118. 13:56 Gumbie after all whats next Pence! Hope not, and I know many like him
  119. 13:56 gjvc TRUMP is making America great again
