President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Can't at the federal level in the USA no matter if you think it would be proper or not.Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 4 forbid it, same reason why a federal wealth tax in general would be unconstitutional. I mean technically it wouldn't, but each state would have to pay in exact proportion to it's population, not it's wealth. You can't target in
Too bad that was done - I would prefer it being done proportionally with state population. Then the rural red states wouldn't just be sponging off the productive cities.
I'm reminded of the following quip:
Democracy is three wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
(Or something like that.)
Except that would be the same result as with no voting.
Democracy would be three lambs and a wolf voting on capital punishment for lamb-eaters.
wow are you seriously equating a parent and child to a government and its citizens???
what is the purpose of government?
To do the things that are improved with large scale communal organisation
things like education, health care, defense, utilities, justice, equality etc
cis is the prefix for normal
and parent/child dynamic is a common understanding of governance - especially in asia
Cis, as a prefix, does not mean normal. It means on the same side, or near.
Much more akin to a referee in a game than to a parent, for classic liberals.
In some sense the gvmnt should be the "council" drafting the rules of the game, and a fully separated part should be the referee, and yet another part should be the security at the game.
At no moment during the game the gvmnt should have any goal about outcomes in the game at all, and none of the 3 parts should ever act with any goal in mind, other than letting the players play and whatever happens during the game within the rules as written should never be judged as something the gvmnt has to intervene on.

Interesting that in your naff analogy at no point do you consider a role of government to be ensuring that no side starts with an unfair advantage apart from skill.
the purpose of a thing is what it does. the purpose of Western governments is to do genocide for fun and profit.
It sounds like cis doesn't mean normal. But if it did, why would strawberries farmed with pesticides be more normal than organic strawberries? Also, are we just throwing random prefixes in front of words now. Should I start using circumstrawberry in every day conversation?

The point of your analogy was to compare the relationship between Trump and other high profile politicians to a marriage. Thus my comment.
Roc, stop trying to sound all cool and kinky. We all know you're a straitlaced orthostrawberry sort of guy.
All I want from government is to fix the roads, deliver the mail and keep their hand out of my pocket.

I don't know if this is supposed to be irony, but if it isn't, it's subtly brilliant.
"I don't need no gubmnt organising my healthcare or housing for me" say homeless man on pavement dying of cancer. "Just look at those damn potholes!".

Panstrawberry all the way.
Right. If you remember back to chemistry 101, cis and trans isomers have the same composition, but cis have an arrangement of something like dipole moments on the same side of a plane selected by a unique feature like a single double bond and trans isomers will have them on the opposite side. This can lead to different reactivity, melting points etc.
It was always funny when the culturally conservative bro crowd thought cis was made up as an antonym of trans during and for gender discussions. Yes, not everyone goes to college, but does not being educated have to so aggressively invade everything you talk about?
I guess when Vance said it's none of our business and we're not goiet involved he left out unless we can take credit.
