Calling for the assassination of the POTUS in 2017, while you spent the last eight years proclaiming the divinity of King Obama, who was the man that gave the office of the Preside…

Or a highly effective display of virtue signaling.

I enjoy that you had the courage to bring "factually incorrect" into this conversation. If someone, anyone, goes looking for the facts, there is only one destination in which they …

> Who exactly has proposed starting a war with Russia or anything remotely resembling that? The entire left establishment, from Hillary to Obama. Hillary wanted a no-fly zone in Sy…

Tell me, friend, how does a group of people enforce their rights within a country against those who wish to deny those rights? ISIS wants a global Islamic caliphate, along with a C…

Ah yes, because average Americans control US geopolitical strategy.

Sounds like a pretty accurate implementation of a Randian Utopia. Pure self interest isn't a difficult vector to map. The results are predictable and repeatable. "Taxation is theft…

It's funny how obvious the holes are when a little light is shined upon the patchwork that is the elite's master plan. The establishment parties are pure self serving propagandists…

Usurious leaders who savagely exploit the majority of the population to the benefit of their oligarch friends are the single most dangerous threat to peace. I wonder why people hav…

Don't be sorry. We need scientists to be skeptics when it comes to absurd assertions which violate the most fundamental principles of physics. Extraordinary claims require extraord…

What gets forgotten here, and something that I keep bringing up, is the lack of a Martian magnetosphere. This means long term human settlements have to be artificially shielded. Th…

Understood. My post was a retaliation to a blatant ad hominem. I do not enjoy getting into the mud, but sometimes it is necessary. As you can see from my parent post, I was engagin…

You are the crystallized definition of the word "projection". Your pathetic internet posturing means nothing. Continue to cower in fear of your betters in the flesh while venting y…

Perhaps you should work on your comprehension of English, because you appear to be struggling to make a coherent point. You're German. You have zero say or input into American poli…

> Had the Germans fought a civil war in the 1930s instead of accepting their populist leader they and the rest of the world would have been better off. Oh, was there another populi…

Ah, the "literally Hitler" argument! What you energetic Godwinians forget, is that Hitler was a socialist and abused the executive powers of a massively oversized state to obtain h…

In what meta-logical wonderland is requiring ID equivalent to a poll tax?

I can't go to a bar or buy alcohol/tobacco without showing ID. Why should I be able to vote for the country's future without ID?

> I stated we could have mass violence in this country if the election were overturned this late after the election. "Could"? There will be a civil war if Trump's presidency is rev…

Sounds complicated. Musk has said that Lithium batteries are improving at a rapid enough pace that they expect impressive increases in capacity and duty cycles by the third iterati…

The BlackBerry was also the first widely adopted smartphone. Many experts laughed at Apple's attempt to enter the phone industry.

And with this thread, we have conclusively proven the assertion upthread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12309120 ). Good day.

There's a lot of disparate claims you are making here without a central argument. No, I did not use sockpuppet accounts. Unlike fulltime moderators, I have things to do other than …

I returned because I have hope dang, that HN will one day see the light of science and break the shackles of political correctness. I enjoyed the ideas espoused by Paul Graham, who…
