@DeplorableGreg1 @burgessev Ok. So you agree that we don’t know if Donald Trump raped many children, but it would certainly be bad if he had, and it’s fair to just ask questions. Not saying he’s a baby rapist of course! Just I hope he isn’t and he’s welcome to clear the air.

@DeplorableGreg1 @burgessev You said this: “If his claim is from some drunken outburst...then I have second thoughts”

Will you concede that disability is not paid out to veterans in the basis of drunken outbursts?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@DeplorableGreg1 @burgessev in your experience as a veteran, are disability benefits usually given to people based on drunken outbursts or based on assessments by physicians?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@DeplorableGreg1 @burgessev i think we have an obligation to the kids who were injured in our misbegotten wars

but i'm from the party that supports the troops, not the one whose leader thinks the people who got injured are losers

deplorable indeed!

[David Clain @davidclain]

@DeplorableGreg1 @burgessev Can you say more about when you think veterans should be expected to renounce benefits they are entitled to for their injuries while serving?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@philipmathews51 @RonBrownstein as of today at least i agree with you, but you're drawing the wrong conclusion on biden. the lesson there is wounded candidate stayed in too long, and replacing him (albeit too late) was the only thing that gave dems a chance

@robschaper @edandersen > can you imagine a company that says you use our product too much sorry?

yeah, i mean almost every company in every industry says your consumption is limited for a given price? outside of self-hosted software i can hardly think of an exception

@ejrodden @jeremymbarr @BoSnerdley the people who are making it about them are bari weiss and nick bilton, who i agree are not journalists

people who push back against corporate agendas that get in the way of honest fact-finding and holding of power to account, those are journalists

@Ganezercongress @saikatc what do you think ballot harvesting is?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@jsdoc56 the white house tennis pavilion didn't exist until 2020; obama didn't tear it down

[David Clain @davidclain]

@jsdoc56 @KirillChernysh6 @MeachamDr i mean if you're going to stereotype, donald trump being obsessed with his ballroom and gilding everything and interior decorating is about as gay as it gets

[David Clain @davidclain]

@chartreuseb @bomani_jones i and many others had no trouble understanding his point. is it possible you’re just not very bright?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy i’m going to just be satisfied that you learned today that you HAVE a political philosophy rather than debate it, i tend to find people who call others retarded commie freaks have little of actual substance to say. have a great life!

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy that is absolutely a political view, called (as you said earlier) libertarianism

it’s weird that you don’t understand that you’re arguing for a political view just as i am

when you advocate for libertarianism you absolutely are trying to advance your particular political theory

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy and you’re arguing society should be set up the way you want. that’s literally what it means to debate politics!

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy *have thoughtful discussions with people who disagree

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy you keep characterizing my attempts to discuss and push and be pushed as forcing my values on you which means you have no concept of what it means to have an intellectual debate. arguing one’s case is the point!

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy ok if you’re just going to call people retarded commie freaks because you’re not capable of engaging on anything of substance we should just go our separate ways

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy i agree joe has no control over his parents' wealth

but jack has no control over the fact that he was born to drug-addicted parents

who you're born to is random

so what's just about people randomly lucking into great or awful lives?

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy i'd love to hear an actual defense of your position that doesn't result in your calling me a "commie freak" again

[David Clain @davidclain]

@RachelWeissman9 @MemoryMedieval @romanhelmetguy here, i'll be very clear: i don't think that a good and fair society is one in which jack suffers because his parents were drug addicts and joe has lots of unearned advantages because of his parents' wealth

i think you should defend why you think that's good and fair.
