    Ah so you were post-truth Trump before it was cool? Your argument boils down to "there is no income tax" because "income" is a confusing word but then the constitution literally says "collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived". If that had any actual legal baring, you can be sure it would be brought to the SCOTUS who would likely dismiss it saying "of course income tax counts as 'taxes on income'"

    "BLM has committed acts of racism towards whites" - As I said, there's definitely people that have used BLM as a cover for racism, but that's not the purpose of the group. We don't call Christians a pedophilia organization because of a few priests.

    BLM isn't a hate group by any standard so it'd be pointless for SPLC to classify them along side the likes of the KKK or the alt-right.

    Which website told you that these were the bogeymen you have to be afraid of? Were there also mentions of how white people are disadvantaged and Hitler wasn't so bad?

    I take it you've never actually READ the constitution?

    The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

    You seem like a real post-truth Trump supporter.

    The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

    Guess you were wrong about it being unconstitutional.

    A major problem in Greece was the Tax evasion. It's a bit complex, but budgets have TWO sides: spending and revenue. The spending part was reasonable given what the revenue side should have been, but without people paying their fair share, it was unbalanced.

    Now back to the IRS. It's literally in the constitution that the government can collect taxes and there needs to be some department to do that. Sure you may have the fantasy that you don't need the government and could do fine paying in gold or bullets or whatever, but the government provides many services that are helpful to the population.

    Do you have a citation for that or is it just right wing propaganda? Remember when the IRS was searching for Tea Party 501c3's that weren't compliant? Turns out it was doing the same for progressive groups as well.

    Just because the IRS takes money from you, doesn't make it a bad organization. You can't just eliminate the departments that make things harder for you. Money spent on the IRS ends up bringing in more money in tax revenue that would be lost. Everyone would still need to pay taxes without the IRS, we'd just end up like Greece where lots of people just weren't paying.

    It's pretty clear that the primary reason for impeachment was for paying people to break into the Watergate, not because he got rid of the tape of it. I suppose you could stretch some of the stuff to be applied to Hillary - it would be a real stretch and much easier to apply them to Bush.

    So saying government records were destroyed is one of those non-evidence based statements the right is famous for. Similarly, claiming Nixon was going to be impeached for deleting a few minutes of tape is a great retelling of history, also a favorite of the right.

    If you remove the votes for Clinton, then Trump won the popular vote! Clinton only won the popular vote because more people voted for her. There's no reason that the voters for one party should have the power to over-ride the results of the others just because there are more of them!

    That sounds like a pretty uninformed view to me. BLM and SPLC are organizations to help prevent racism and help people in poverty. That's their stated mission. There are of course a few racists that latch on to them, but nothing like the white supremacists that are actually writing the articles, not just being supported by the fake news sites, but actually working at them.

  15. A better analogy would be you should have gotten the 3 medals for 100m dash because your 300m dash time was better.

  16. That's inane - Clinton's popular vote lead is composed of tens of millions of people from around the country. Just because a lot of them came from a county doesn't give that region more power. If you spread the population over the midwest, they have exactly the same voting power. No one cares the votes of counties - there are lots of counties with low populations so you're saying that because people live close to other people, their vote should count less.

    The NYT is a reputable news source with a long history of posting accurate information. Places reporting about pizza are typically conspiracy theory sites full of fully debunked stories. It's always hard to prove a negative, but in this case the burden of evidence falls on the pizzagate lovers.
