    I haven't checked in on American politics since 2015, catch me up.

    Anything interesting happen or is it all business as usual?

    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    All the people who pretended to support liberty because their people weren't in power stopped pretending and now support rampant expansion of government power.


    All of the people who supported vast government power when their people were in power now oppose it and claim to be for the advancement of liberty.

    Well Rand's been shot at, attacked by his neighbor and received death threats to him and his immediate family that included chopping everyone up.

    All were socialists/universal health care supporters.

    The Obamabots left the forum and the Trumpbots invaded. And interestingly enough, it happened before Trump won a single election.

    There are no Trump "bots" here, there are people who quite clearly recognize the benefits that a Trump Presidency brings over an establishment candidate like Hillary or any of the others who ran in 2016 (besides Rand).

    Pretty much nailed it. It's all controlled perception management games and has ramped up to ludicrous speed, along with most everything else. We are entering Idiocracy mode, at least if you believe the media's portrayal of conditions in the country. ALL fueled by the collective "media" that consolidates further and further into complete end game control of all information sources.

They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

    The most significant thing that has happened is that the media facade of "no bias" has been completely torn away, and the breadth and depth of deep state corruption has been exposed.

    If this photo suggests black muslims are in too in new Trump power structure, that would help negate libs assertion that only Obama WH had such diversity.

    Hope it was not being implied that those photos were incidental; there are strong financial/political policy connections involved. Likely all key mideast policies are okay'd by Adelson, MAGA's single largest donor.

    That sounds right, transparency level has gone through the roof in a way.
    Harvey Weinstein is just one example.
