Who ever said this is an idiot.

In Fact:

Great minds discuss EVERYTHING, as ALL of humanities concepts intertwine, thus giving the most studious minds the biggest understanding of it all.

Average minds kind of understand what I just meant, they just don't know how to go about it.

Small minds actually believe, that Events, Ideas and People are mutually exclusive, when in fact they're not.

You shouldn't put yourself down that way, I still believe that one day you'll understand!

It's a falsehood to necessarily believe in the translated words of a so called philosopher of over two thousand years ago, as if you can necessarily understand them above all others.

You rest your case because it serves your purpose, not because your position necessarily contains wisdom. You are unable to stand on your own two feet.

'I only know that I know nothing' --Socrates-- The father of Philosophy and teacher of Plato!

But the law is not on his side, and when Mr Trump seeks to get power illegally America is in trouble. I really like rule of law and I dislike dictators.
I think Mr Trump is too rich and shows off how rich he is, he is a very vain man. He tells lies to save his face when he makes mistakes.

But the law is not on his side.

how so? gimme some specifics, please

Mr Trump got his sort of militia to clear lawful citizens from the public space in front of a church so he, MR Trump, could pose with a Bible in front of the church.

how is that any different than the streets bein' cleared and the routes controlled when any prez visits any city?

and how is any of this street-clearin' or route-controllin' illegal?

and that militia, those folks were federal agents, operatin' within the confines of existing law

and: what about your other complaints/assertions? you got any specifics to share?
