    Yep. Pat Buchanan's fascists and John Hagelin's Transcendental Meditation flakes parachuted in and started fighting over the corpse.

    We’ll always have the Goddamn Sexual Tyrannosaurus though. No one can take that away from us. That happened. That was real.

    Sure. All of the so called Libertarians that want to overturn the Civil Rights Act can join all of the dead Democrats like Robert Byrd filibustered to stop it and Al Gore Sr. who voted against it.

    :yes: Throw in Manchin and Sinema while you're at it. Heck, get rid of Pelosi, and any other Democrat who's held office for more than 18 years. (And yes, that does mean Bernie wouldn't be able to serve another term in the Senate. I'm cool with that. I don't think Vermonters are likely to elect a Rick Scott to replace him.)

    I love how all the worst ideologies are united in their opposition to Ukrainian self-governance and sovereignty.

    Tankies, conservatives, nazis lolberts, russian nationalists all just coming together to have the worst positions imaginable on the conflict.

    And yes, I realize we don’t have anyone here who will admit to being Mises Caucus. But just a reminder about how English and double negatives work: Anti-anti-Mises Caucus = Mises Caucus.

    Who died and made you emperor and sole arbiter of the English language? I’m going to quote something from the Mises caucus website that I do wholeheartedly endorse and you can quote me on it.
    Now make your jokes and have your fun.

    Get back to me when you have actual proof that members of the Mises caucus are Nazis. Unsubstantiated claims on Twitter won’t do.

    Let me guess, they can't be Nazis because they're your friends and family and your friends and family could never ever be Nazis, especially not your great uncle Adolph in Argentina? :dayton:

    Your Nazi parents. :bergman:


    But seriously, are you disputing how double negatives work? Does grammar now have a leftist bias? :chris:

    I mean, that's a pretty tacit announcement they plan on being silent for a lot of evil shit.
    Tacit announcing takes away the passivity.

    For those who weren’t around/don’t remember/were in elementary school:

    Stan Jones (born January 13, 1943) is a Libertarian Party politician who has twice run unsuccessfully for the United States Senate in 2002 and 2006, and three times unsuccessfully as the Libertarian nominee for governor of Montana, in 2000, 2004, and 2008. He is known for his artificially induced blue-grey skin tone.

    In his book The Disappearing Spoon, about the periodic table, author Sam Kean chronicled the experience of Jones, who developed argyria, which permanently turned his skin a blue-grey color, by consuming large quantities of home-made colloidal silver.[1] Jones' purposeful consumption of silver, which he believed to be an antibiotic, was a measure he undertook in response to his fears that the Y2K problem would make antibiotics unavailable, an event that did not occur.[1] The peculiar coloration of his skin featured prominently in media coverage of his unsuccessful campaign.[2][3] Jones is reported to have said, given the chance to go back, he would do it all over again.[1] Jones is not alone in his beliefs; the use of colloidal silver has found support among some notables, such as actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Infowars' Alex Jones.[4] However, regarding colloidal silver, the National Institutes of Health have stated that “evidence supporting health-related claims is lacking”.[4]

    Well, silver IS an antibiotic. The problem is humans are biotic as well as bacteria. It's like drinking bleach to kill COVI... oh, wait.

    As recently as 2016, they nominated a presidential ticket consisting of two reasonable human beings who were both actually qualified for the offices they were seeking.

    Granted, that was a pretty major anomaly.

    I don’t know who you think you’re addressing because nobody here fits that category, but you should probably respect your elders. Let me know when you have proof that there are Nazis in the Mises caucus. Meanwhile going to listen to Roger Waters.

    Losing Lincoln was probably the worst thing to happen to the south and resulted in federal expansion and intervention. Losing McKinley resulted in European like colonial expansion. Losing Kennedy likely resulted furthering the development of the Vietnam war. I don’t see how any of this helps the liberation movement.

    so you're saying the states rights argument/obfuscation against "butcher abe" is no longer one you're a standartenfuhrer for?

    It’s okay, Roger’s recorded a new version of Dark Side of the Moon to update the original.

    The Libertarian Party is now just Republicans who are open about wanting to smoke weed and fuck teens.
