    Where have those ol' fashioned conservative values like letting businesses do whatever the f*ck they want to do gone?

    Now that weed is becoming legal in many states, they should just claim victory and take up hiking.

    Been saying for years that libertarians are morally bankrupt.

    The history of civil rights is intertwined with the history of a large, powerful central government. That's what triggers libertarians, and makes conservatives pine for small government.

    LIbertarians will say that whatever government giveth, can be taken away, as a reference to America's endorsement of Trump. The response to that it that it's better for me to have had a reasonably free childhood than have gone into middle age without ever having experienced what America calls itself standing for.

    We know now that there's never been anything to happen here worth boasting globally about.

    That's really the first thing that comes into their little brains, isn't it? I read somewhere that Tulsi Gabbalot was whining in a similar fashion.

    She was.

    I don't get everything right, not by a long shot, but I smelled rats with Yang and Tulsi early on. "Independents" who cut special rules* for authoritarians aren't Democrats, aren't Republicans, and aren't even Libertarians. They're just trash. (I don't have the same problem with Bloomberg, you can dislike his politics but he doesn't belong in that category.)

    * Unless Tulsi and Yang are against all FBI raids, for any reason, against any American citizen, they are applying special rules. And if they truly are against all FBI raids, for any reason, then I take back that bit about the special rules, and substitute instead "totally nuts." Because if the FBI gets good information about the next Tim McVeigh, it damn well had better be raiding.

    Libertarians today do not believe in society.They believe in the war of all against all and only winners survive to claim the defeated as trophies.
    Now some "libertarian" will say I'm wrong ,but I'm not.

    If you don't mind watching libertarians die, HBO's The Anarchists doc is good for a laugh.

    It's the 'anti-anti' 2 step perfected by people like Greenwald

    If you are a "leftist" who needs to appeal to people who aren't democrats but can't support trump, then anti-anti trump is for you

    i.e. attacking the people who are against Trump - especially the deep state, clintons, cheney, CIA etc etc.

    Tulsi's entire 5 mins of fame is based off spreading Clinton conspiracies

    I think the only people they are writing and speaking for our their FSB handlers.I'm sure one of the requirements of being a Russian oligarch is funding these useful idiots.

    Prof Scott Galloway had a fascinating indepth interview on Offline Podcast on this.

    He was mostly discussing the danger tiktok poses for soft propaganda run by the Chinese Communist Party.

    But in general, as we saw particularly up to '16 its simply much cheaper to pay "anti-anti-putin" influencers to spout gibberish than it is to pay for HIMARS. And now you can fund them via substack, or even pay for them to come over to Budapest for a "conference"

    The signs of it were everywhere - like Flynn and Stein over in Moscow, but I was especially fascinated by the Londongrad corruption and the reason it was so effective is it is so much cheaper to buy people off in London compared to the US - indeed you can buy a whole Brexit referendum for under 20m!

    FEMA funding.

    Rhetorical question: Has Cruz considered the possibility that the government would no longer be able to take money from Democrat states to give to Republican states every time they have a hurricane or tornado destroy their towns?

    No, he has never considered that, or much else.
    He just vomits out idiotic talking points.
