Let me know when you’ve shrunk government back down to that size. Then, maybe, we can talk.

Please spare me your bullshit straw manning. My commentscwere a direct counterpoint to TheTexan advocating actual isolationism, nothing more. And also please spare us the bullshit lie that tariffs are the causitive agent behind American prosperity, and that free trade destroyed it. Only people naive enough to belive that protectionist shill Ian Fletcher fall for that crap.

Not to mention the fact that isolationist societies throughout history have almost always been backward, stagnant societies that usually suffered under some form of brutal, feudal dictatorships. It’s only been after they’ve abandoned their foolish isolationism that they were able to move in the direction of greater freedom and prosperity, although there are certainly no guarantees that the will/would.

That was back when people on the “right” actually had a decent, fundamental understanding of economics. Oh, and they actually opposed, you know, socialism.

“Facts abd data” NEVER change ANYONE’S mind. You have to approach it from a different angle.

I’m sure the people of East Timor, by some estimates as many as a third of were wiped out bu Suharto’s genocidal invasion and occupation which Carter fully supported with arms and other aid, will be ecstatic that he’s lived so long.

See? That’s why I’m just a plebe and you occupy a position of power and authority here. It’s that rock solid, level-headed judgement. Clearly you’re correct and I was going off half-cocked. I won’t let it happen again. Thanks for pulling me back from the brink!

Isn’t that the best kind?

Bow chicka wow wow? ;)

What if, and I’m just spitballin’ here so bear with me, what if we did BOTH?

Maybe, if we vote REAL HARD…

I’m guessing not at all, but maybe he’ll wind up with a nasty letter in his file. That’ll teach him!

Get a rope.

Are you certain Caesar wasn’t a distant ancestor of Trump’s using his own version of Quantum Dark Energy Wormhole Chess to accomplish the seemingly impossible feat of engineering the defeat of the Carthaginians a century before he was even born? Just a thought.

“You must spread some Reputation around…”

Vote? Riiiigggghhhhtttt. Must be too many people waking up to the scam and withdrawing their consent. Perhaps a positive sign. After all, it IS “the most important election in our lifetimes.” (C) (TM) Yawn.

You know who’s REALLY to blame for victim disarmament (gun control)? Gun owners and liberty advocates. There are currently well north of 100 MILLION private gun owners in this country. The overwhelming majority of them lean toward the liberty end of the spectrum to one degree or another. They are estimated to own over 400 MILLION firearms, and that is probably a gross underestimate since the stats are based on self-reporting. They also own TRILLIONS of rounds of ammunition. If just a very small fraction of them would stand up and say “NO MORE! We will no longer comply with ANY of you illegitimate and immoral victim disarmament (gun control) schemes,” and stick together and support each other with the steely resolve to make it stick no matter what it takes, the entire gun control regime would collapse virtually overnight. All they’d have to do is nut up and do the job that most of them volunteered for by voluntarily claiming for themselves the mantle of “liberty advocate.” But they won’t.

Next to guns, the automobile and the mobility and freedom it affords individuals is the most hated invention around by the bastards that think they should be able to rule us. The more expensive they can make them (automobiles) and the more they can restrict our mobility, the easier it is to control us. All just part of the plan.

I don’t travel much or very far due to poor health, but both you and Anti Federalist would be welcome at my place any time.

Indeed it is, my brother. Indeed it is.

Color me bored. And yes, you’re right. Nobody’s going to do a damn thing about it. I’m feeling an awful lot like my lifetime’s involvement with the so-called “liberty movement” has been a complete waste. As you say, carry on.

I agree with this completely. If they wanted Trump dead, he’d be pushing up daisies by now. The one thing, the ONLY thing the state and its minions actually excel at and do competently is kill. Whether it’s by the tens, or hundreds, or thousands, or millions in “peacekeeping actions” or wars, sporadically, one at a time through their law enforcement activities, or simply assassinating an unwanted political figure, they have perfected the art and craft of killing over many centuries. Removing Trump and pinning it on some patsy would be child’s play for them. But don’t get me wrong. I don’t think they’re actively trying to keep him alive either. IMO this is one of those rare situations where either outcome can be made to serve their purposes equally as well. So, we get to move from mere political theater straight into assassination theater. And we get fucked no matter what the outcome.

If he was, they’d already have succeeded, the autopsy would have been done (by an incompetent coroner) and the evidence “lost”/suppressed.

Election Results = you’re fucked either way. Just about everyone here knows this, and knows that they’re not going to vote their way out of this mess. And yet they still devote an inordinate amount of time, energy (both physical and emotional) and other resources to following, attempting to influence and then bitching and moaning about the “outcome.” Seems an incredible waste to me.

Escort joke They say it's proper etiquette to tip your escort, but I'm like "If things went well, didn't you already tip her?" She responded “You already shafted me too, so fork over that gratuity you cheap bastard!"
