They're fear mongering about Monkey Pox now. In fucking Africa. Expect them to try and push more lockdowns the closer and closer we get to November. Do. Not. Comply.

I don't think this will really work because the idea that it's basically an STD is a little too wide-spread for people to go along with any kind of lockdowns over it. Then again I could be wrong considering we were just shoved into our homes 4 years ago and the vast majority did go along with it, but the response to covid at first did seem somewhat reasonable because of a big unknown factor (which was then abused to no end as we learned more about what covid actually was), but monkeypox is a known thing so the scare factor isn't nearly as high.

Big dif between wu flu and fuck flu is that we dont have the chinese welding people into their apts for the fuck flu. One of the reasons Covid was so scary to so many was the asymptomatic carrier bullshit AND the global reactions towards it.

It’s a non issue in America, not even worried because not having sex with gays or those who have sex with gays.

It can’t be a coincidence that the grand majority of public awareness campaigns I’ve seen about it are in the arty gay areas.

Also can’t be a coincidence that the only, and I mean only people I know who have been vaccinated for it are ready to have some man on man action.

It’s great when putting your mouth on someone’s shithole isn’t a normal part of sex

This is sparking a lot of speculation.. In my opinion 538's been compromised by DNC, we'll see.

Lol, nice logic "Model showed Trump winning, therefore the model was broken and wrong"

 

[Rimanah]

Apparently these DNC protests were alot fucking weirder than we thought...

Lmao what a bunch of dysgenic losers. And they have the gall to insult others for being “squares?”

You're either a jealous chick or a homosexual.
She's literally super hot and her teeth are cute. Her skin is more than fine for her age.

Hmm, desperation truly does some strange things to guys. Or perhaps your corrective lens prescription is out of date?

What's your opinion on how significant the RFK endorsement is? I know you already believe that Trump has a significant lead that is being surpressed. How are we looking now?

I started off hating it but then they revealed exactly what they were doing and its genius. The problem innately with an RFK endorsement and him sliding off the campaign is that his support is uneven. In some battleground states he takes more from Trump, where as in others (and I would argue most battleground/in play states) he takes more from Biden/Harris. So if he simply jumped off and endorsed Trump it reinforces some of Trump's numbers but in several states gives a bunch of the vote back to Harris.

So, he didn't do that. Now he is, if anything, being a deliberate spoiler candidate. Staying only in for the states where he takes more from Harris and dropping from those that he took more from Trump. This is fantastic. The endorsement is secondary, almost inconsequential really, to that element.

The open boarders neocons instantly sold out their actual conservative principles and joined forces with the left to try and destroy Trump the he moment he was elected. If you want a right-wing party though, the Mises Caucus of the Libertarian party would be a good bet if they would just split from the gay Libertarians and join the GOP.

Libertarians tend to basically be Liberal-lite. They are very much pro-open borders and against enforcing immigration laws. F them.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

Honestly what could even happen that improves Harris's voting odds? They tried jailing Trump, they tried slandering Trump, they tried killing Trump, and revising their policies is off the table.

What can improve for her is obviously more name calling

There are some groups of libertarians who are "right wing" kind of. They dont support stuff that is obviously detrimental to the country like immigration and even certain things like abortion and drugs, unfortunately I think a lot of the bigger groups either got taken over by huge companies/liberals. so most of the more conservative ones are smaller and pushed out of the main libertarian party.

This is a bit of an aside but I hold that the Libertarian philosophy breaks down when taken outside of local politics. Anything at the executive state level or any part of federal level it simply does not work. It either has to compromise too many principles to be identifiable anymore, or sticks to those principles and becomes irrelevant. In the end Federal and state level executive power requires the exercising of that power and by extension the use of said power on the citizenry. And Libertarian philosophy fundamentally rejects that as a good course of action.... even when it is the best course of action.

If Ron Paul was elected President, he'd have destroyed the country.
It's one of the few times when the globohomo rigging the game saved America.

I actually agree, as much as I personally like Ron Paul. His ideas, while sounding nice, would have caused far more problems than they solved because they are unworkable in practice.

Now qualifying as an Ex-Libertarian I feel the theology was tied to free market capitalism. Like if you had asked a younger me my feelings on illegals it was simple if they could make their way in without being a burden on the system then fine go for it. I'd want to flee Mexico & South America too.

But now we live in a reality where California wants to give the "undocumented" free money to buy homes. And I love this nugget of truth at the end of the article:

President George W. Bush’s home down payment assistance program for less qualified individuals is widely blamed for fueling the housing bubble — by increasing housing prices and decreasing loan recipient quality — that led to the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.

So now the debate no longer has any hinges of a pull yourself up by the bootstraps policy. Now illegals will be a literal detriment to the financial security of the populace at large. That's when I can no longer condone illegal immigration.

"look like thomas crooks" might be a new favorite insult/descriptor. (there's a before and after meaning to that too lol)

This right here exemplifies a key problem with Libertarian politics, which becomes a disaster in a larger scale role. A lot of Libertarian "Live and let live" policies assumes a world in which -no actor wlll take advantage or abuse it-. Which is hopelessly naive. It is also why it tends to work better at the local level, more individual control and ability to factor in existing groups.

I was saying faggot (although very rarely) since I can remember but years before I knew homosexuals even existed because either my nan or grandad (or both) liked a type of meatballs called faggots and would fairly regularly buy Mr. Brain's Faggots.

View attachment 6344682

Now that Mr. Brain has been brought up, I think it's necessary to post one of the old faggot commercials.

Time to wheel out the old king of the faggots.

As a still staunch libertarian I cannot comprehend the idea how a libertarian can defend illegal immigration. You don't allow uninvited trespassers on your property, if they refuse to leave you force them out, with a gun if needed. That same thought process should logically apply to the shared piece of property amongst citizens called a country. Exclusivity is the inherent basis for private property and markets, why should exclusivity take a backseat in access to one's property, or country in this case?

"Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus but is now recovering at home.

West Nile Virus is a relatively rare and potentially deadly disease, which is primarily spread by mosquitos. It can cause fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea or rash, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Jenn Kuzmuk, a spokesperson for Fauci, confirmed his illness to USA TODAY on Saturday and said Fauci is expected to make a full recovery."

"Presidential candidate Cornel West must appear on voting ballots in Michigan, a state judge ruled on Saturday.

Judge James Robert Redford issued the ruling days after West and his running mate, activist Melina Abdullah, were kicked off the ballot earlier this month due to technical issues.

The Michigan Bureau of Elections had notified West's campaign of the discrepancies in an August 16 letter. The campaign responded by arguing that the Michigan Democratic Party was weaponizing technicalities in an effort to remove West from the ballot."
