Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

How is understanding the constitution apologizing for anyone?

how is answering questions with more questions that do nothing to answer the original questions count as a response?

Because you have nothing else. Your premise is weak, your assertions specious, your entire argument is a disgrace to debating, so your only means of response is "not me, you!"

go to bed, child.

You ask a leading question and I rightfully dismissed it with a question that exposed what a joke it is. The reality is that you can't explain how understanding the constitution is apologizing for anyone, so you have to whine about the rhetorical device used to expose the glaring logical flaw in your "argument."

You could have just said "well understanding the cotus is not apologizing for anyone" and this would have been a much shorter and reasonable conversation.

You harp on and on about understanding the constitution but only illustrate ignorance. Also, you're getting your threads mixed up idiot.

Are you just perpetually lost, that's why we all get the same "BUT BUT COTUS" argument that doesn't actually refer to any parts of the constitution or cite any relevant passages?

BUT BUT COTUS

Get fucked gaslighter. It was insurrection, stop crying and move on.

I agree it was an insurrection. Lol

Just because I think people did something wrong doesn't mean I have to believe every little thing bad said about them. I know, this is a very hard concept for you to grasp and makes being constantly outraged and angry much more difficult, but I highly recommend trying to remain rational.
