But how else are you going to know if the new second bathroom cabinet can fit?

There is this weird Trump effect that I've noticed. That man could say anything, do anything, and people would believe he's playing 5d chess game and really, you should just give him a chance and see that his real plan will be revealed later on. They have a sort of religious faith in his ability to lead.

Then when one points out that this is the second time he's come out against something like due process before taking away gun rights:

First time:

Second Time
http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/03/01/t ... -amendment

Crazy huh? A dirty liberal like me is defending gun rights whereas die hard conservatives are relatively silent about what Trump has said in the past and what he has said again. Taking away 2nd amendment rights without due process is bullshit. I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican. I don't care if you're Libertarian or Green party.

Fuck any politician who says it. (and because I know someone is going to bring up Obama, I'll bring him up first) Guess what? Obama agrees with Trump on this!

It's all about Congress. This is naked triangulation. Trump can say whatever but I know the GOP in Congress aint doing a damn thing, can you say the same about Obama given his druthers?

This isn't weird, it's the norm now. Most of us got used to used to this kind of blind support of the POTUS from 2009-2016.

Yeah, whenever I criticize Trump, his supporters immediately bring up Obama. Always, 100% of the time.

I'm like dude, I hated the guy. Believe he was Bush 2.0, and I really hated Bush.

Russia seems to like it. China too.
So ... for two out of theee global superpowers I guess it’s a viable system.

I prefer ours.

So...

No leadership then?

Rule by popular vote on every issue?

Wikirule?

Perhaps two leaders... two consuls... are those still "rulers".

Pure Anarchy?

What are you pitching Fife?

I didn't stutter, my man. No rulers.

What is "Pure Anarchy?"

When you have done some googling to figure out what anarchy is, come back and tell me what "pure anarchy" is.

While you are at it, google voluntaryism.

I didn't know we had any of these on the forum.

Everyone's an anarchist until the Hell's Angels drive up on their lawn.

https://steemit.com/voluntaryism/@ryang ... nd-anarchy
The term “Anarchy” is derived from the Greek word “archon,” meaning “ruler,” conjoined with the negating prefix “an.” The etymological definition of “Anarchy” is “without a ruler.” Anarchy is the rejection of the belief in a ruler or government. For this reason, anarchy has a negative connotation.

Voluntarism is derived from the Latin “voluntas,” meaning “will.” Voluntarism is the principle or policy that all human interaction should be based on voluntary participation and the rejection of all human interaction based on coercion. Voluntarism has an affirmative connotation and can stand alone, being that it is a positive act of will rather than an aversion to the state.
The statement no rulers therefore fits better with Anarchy than Voluntarism...

Rulers can theoretically rule without coercion... although in practice this is questionable outside the small clan.
