Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

No it doesn't. Even McConnell's office has already said there are no legal hangups to the trial going beyond the 20th.

Also, you might have missed it, but 10 Republicans voting to impeach Trump is actually a really big deal because it's the highest amount in history from the presidents own party.

Complete and utter nonsense. What's your evidence of a rigged election that somehow missed everything else on the ballot?

It is most certainly not unconstitutional to convict someone after they leave office, as that would allow any impeached individual to simply resign and render impeachment as a concept meaningless.

An overreaction and security theater. A true and clever terrorist will keep quiet about their plans and wait a few months to attack when people are complacent. Closing the capitol for a few days will not help.

This makes me think of the uselessness of bag X-rays at subway stations in China. A smart terrorist will just bomb people crowding together right at the checkpoints. Of course, the baggage X-rays make subway riders feel 'safe' and show the government is 'protecting' them just as closing the capitol makes people feel 'safe.'


Why is it an overreaction?


By closing it down, they are letting the terrorists win (without actually stopping terrorism). What if I was a tourist that wanted to visit the capitol building that day? I am being punished and not allowed to visit because of a threat (that is possibly fake). It is just like not being allowed to carry toothpaste on an airplane. It is an overreaction to terrorism.

Real terrorists would wait a few days when the capitol reopens, shoot the security guards at the metal detector, and barge into the building. Of course, metal detectors make most people feel safe but realistically they don't help very much. Another idea is they would just try to kill lawmakers in an easier place (like a restaurant or movie theater). I am not saying do nothing. Have extra security when there are threats (because many terrorists are impatient and careless and lack smart strategies) but don't close it down. Don't let terrorists make us cower in fear.

Yes, I remember Boden saying that in his winning speech. Fact is that almost all democrats in the House, Senate and the president himself is white old men. Why would they like to kill themselves?

I love how this implies that “white people” are somehow disjoint from “Americans.”

Would you rather spend 3 years in prison NOT working or 6 months in a humane labor camp working 40-50 hours a week? I would rather work 6 months and get my 3 strokes with a cane.

The caning is to show that we don't play games when it comes to crime. The world would not think of America as being too soft and weak and they might tell their friends how the caning hurt which might discourage others from doing these crimes. Michael Fay never vandalized cars in Singapore again. He learned his lesson.

I thought you were for treating people like adults and accepting personal responsibility and all that?

So you wouldn't trust the guberment to handle your brother planning to commit domestic terrorism fairly, but you're all for handing the power to beat the crap out of shoplifters and vandals and building special going away camps?

Do you trust the guberment or not? make up yer mind.

Or do ye just not like poor people?

Well that gets to the heart of the mater, what is the point of prison?

You seem to be taking the "punish people" route, which doesn't work out that well in the long run. All you end up doing is wasting people's time and creating an underclass of people.


Punishment AND rehabilitation. I like prison programs like prisoners helping to train dogs for the blind or learning vocational skills. There needs to be more of these programs. For American citizen prisoners, vocational training could be an option and they could have fewer hours of forced labor to ensure they have time for skills training. Prisons also should have libraries and perhaps prisoners could take classes to learn how to read and write and be able to get their GED as well.
