No
Most white immigrants, besides Northwestern europeans, vote Democrat
No one that has heritage outside of Cornwall should be considered American
Anyways, let's get back on track
Let's say Trump does an Executive Order along these lines
It's a legislative proposal but I think Trump can say something similar to this
Got it from Button
@ThatRightWingFish I don't know tbh. He probably falls into the crowd of hating boomers, wanting to end immigration, etc
Inevitably, this will have to go through the Supreme Court
Which I can agree with. But tbh, I think thats only the first step
Their interpretations of "Social Media" are incredibly massive, including WebMD and Amazon.com as "social media". They are also incredibly broad on free speech, and have described social media as the modern public forum unanimously in a previous ruling.
tbh, this guy should have been POTUS
"Even with these assumptions, the statute here enacts a prohibition
unprecedented in the scope of First Amendment speech it burdens.
Social media allows users to gain access to information and communicate
with one another on any subject that might come to mind.
With one broad stroke, North Carolina bars access to what for many
are the principal sources for knowing current events, checking ads for
employment, **speaking and listening in the modern public square**,
and otherwise exploring the vast realms of human thought and
knowledge. Foreclosing access to social media altogether thus prevents
users from engaging in the legitimate exercise of First Amendment
rights. Even convicted criminalsโand in some instances especially
convicted criminalsโmight receive legitimate benefits from
these means for access to the world of ideas, particularly if they seek
to reform and to pursue lawful and rewarding lives. "
-Packingham v. North Carolina
I suspect it would take a while for the court to get to this theoretical EO, but in the end they would rule in our favor
Wow, Trump really is Patton's reincarnation
sounds like fake news
wow
Seems that this is actually credible
It's scarcely being reported though
but it has the appearance of credibility due to the amount of sources restating the claim
"โI remember Pearl Harbor,โ Trump told Abe at a meeting in June, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. "
"During a tense meeting at the White House in June, President Trump caught Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe off guard with a pointed remark.
โI remember Pearl Harbor,โ the president said, referring to the surprise attack that propelled the United States into World War II.
Trump then launched into a blistering critique of Japanโs economic policies, according to people familiar with the conversation. He railed against the U.S. trade deficit with Japan and urged Abe to negotiate a bilateral trade deal that is more favorable to U.S. exporters of beef and automobiles."
@ThatRightWingFish where did you find this?
We allow any whites
america should be for all whites
obviously we shouldn't allow leftists in
K
this
@FLanon Why did Trump decide to renew the TPS program
it would be funny
if we took in refugees
an then we could mock the europeons even harder
for actually taking in refugees as opposed to trojan horse bomb baskets
europeons are so fucking stupid and ignorant of american life
Should I hand out libertarian flyers around my neighborhood?
no
no
But WHY
because libertarianism is a cancer on the right wing
Hey hey
Hey
No
Explain
Itโs not
it is, it takes social liberal positions and forces the right to move further left on these issues
Thatโs lite libertarian
Minarchy is different
:)))
Libertarianism is such a large category that it fits so many different ideologies
And libertarianism will not solve the decay of society, the death of the family, the rising drug use, deaths from despair, the loss of identity, and the demographic tide
That canโt be controlled
It is a mechanical, soulless ideology that only has the end of furthering this idea of the free market, nothing more
Especially with authoritarian forfe
it sure can
with a competent state
Statebad
"state bad"
I want a night watchman state
The state isnโt your friend
yeah alright then
They basically are just bullyโs asking for your lunch money
He state is
The
state intervention is necessary for prosperity in a wide variety of situations
Like?
well, public utilities like water/electricity for one
not sending kids to coal mines
My biggest problem with the state is property tax
keeping prosperity and intervening in monopolies
keeping vice from the streets
Capitalism can really regulate itself
heh
sure it can
that's what's going on with twitter
Also the Government is technically a monopoly
the state is necessary and a competent one can be quite good for the common good
and that is really what is the end, the common good
You vote with your dollars
right, everything is a market
Take Milton Friedman for example who said that the property tax is the only "good" tax. I agree with him here but the reasons he stated why it was good was because it's the only tax out theere that doesnt penalize productivity unlike the sales tax (the more you buy, stemming from more earned income, the more taxes you pay), tariff (the more trade there is, more taxation) and income tax (for obvious purposes)
No
Thatโs MY land
we should allow prostitution and put a dollar value on everything on earth, it all must be the route of most efficiency and most profit
MY property
not the states
tell me, bud, who protects your property rights?
^
Not to mention
Iโm not for abolishment of state
Isnt it also *your* bread, *your* car, *your* profit which you earn?
You know what night watchman state is?
Obviously, I used to be a Minarchist
doesn't pay for itself
property tax in return for ensuring your property rights is certainly very reasonable, is it not?
Libertarianism also certainly doesn't address the border issue.
it is terrible on that, yes
Especially given the breadth of state power necessary to enforce the border and protect demographics in the modern age.
Brb gonna eat
But Lex, America is a melting pot
Stupid bigot
we are selling off our values and culture for cold efficiency
the market is not God
I'm actually not a big fan of the property tax. It's one of the forms of tax which prevent one from ever truly owning their own house.
Though to be serious, open borders would economically be a large benefit in the long run excluding all forms of government handouts. The issue however is that culture and people trump economic progress imo
economically in theory in a vacuum
not how it happens
@[Lex] Depends on where you are. Most places around here go for $5k in taxes a year. My family and I currently rent and that's....... $10k which is considered cheap
The issue with property tax is that you pay it all at once if I recall
driving up the housing prices, lowering the wages, lowering the social trust
only a psychopath would support open borders for economic reasons
at least leftists support it because they're a bunch of delusional virtue signalling fucktards
+ all the poor labour would deepen the consumption economy problem
Though increased spending and a more diverse market would spur more innovation, would it not?
at what cost
Arguably, it'd hinder automation by reducing economic pressure.
the phone's a bit shinier, the camera's a bit better, maybe it costs a bit less
but that comes with a price far larger than it's worth
Economically speaking, which is?
Lowered wages?
Lower wages is one of them, economically speaking
but to me the economy is far in the periphery relative to something like the social trust and identity of a nation
Velocity of money would increase due to the propensity to consume increasing in the economy.
the GDP MEME
+ the debt-to-gdp falling, their credit rating would improve and they'd be able to borrow more
realpolitik
Back
@FLanon Agreed however I'm being the devil's advocate, arguing from a purely economic standpoint
No
Small meal
K thx
You call me degenerate but still use the term kys
๐ณ๏ธโ๐
smh
Lol
As compared to an AnCap society, why is a night watchman state necessary?
Mhm
Because ancap is retarded
No state would mean anarchy
An equivalence
The NAP is a good concept but shouldnโt be the only law
If the only way to protect yourself is yourself then it really isnโt civilization
The state should only be there to protect citizens
Protect them from a violation of contract, or beyond?
From harm
Would hate speech be considered a harm?
No
So only physical harm?
Yes
would you advocate for the legalization of all drugs, including PCP?
No
Thatโs harming people
alright so that's at least more reasonable than some
what's the extent in your opinion
and should we have a minimum age for drug use
21
Whatever age of alcohol
If that shifts the drugs shift
Smaller less harmful drugs I donโt care
Do fucking weed just donโt hurt anyone else
When your on pcp you are a monster
But shouldnt I be allowed to do what I want with my own body, so long as I'm not harming others/
You are incapable of controlling yourself
You become a danger to others on heavy drugs
so should we allow fathers to smoke weed
Sure
But they must fill out forms
Some regulation
Not just anyone above 21
@Borb As a percentage though, most people who do heavy drugs dont harm anyone else
Physically at least
True
But there is that one percentage
Which is pretty large
Should we also ban Christianity?
No
What do you think libertarians are lol
I mean there's that 1% of Christians who attack "heathens"
๐
should be much higher
^
Baste
Think I'm joking?
Donโt give me fucking splc
*theyre out there*
Lol
*christians bad muslims good* - billary binton
based
Lol
should be much more of those
*keep immigrants deport republicans* - billary baste binton
Though seriously
Why should the actions of 1% affect the remainder 99%?
Religion is a beleif
Itโs what you do with the beliefs
You can worship a goat for all I care
Just donโt bomb shit
Well most people who do hard drugs do it in their basement or bedroom away from others
Theyre not like hotboxing parties
then they scavenge around for more
harming people in the process
they are the ones being harmed by the people who brought it in the country
Itโs a biological trap
That kills
Couldnt the same be said for marijuana though?
No
I'll be back, gotta finish up some AP work
Ok
Weed may be degenerate
But you know whatโs **NOT**
Faith in **JESUS CHRIST**
@Vaghar What class?
AP Euro
awww :(
I miss that class so much.
Loved it so much, enjoy it while it lasts my friend @Vaghar
I bet I will, I love history. The class I fear the most though is AP Lit
AP Euro was a very fun class
So why cant the same be said for weed?
Why do you fear AP lit
Well yes, of course
Though this is a discussion on marijuana legality, not saying that people should use it
GOP turnout is not low (it's about the same as 2014). Itโs Dem turnout thatโs high. And thatโs what could cost the GOP the House.
Typically in midterms there is a turnout drop off with younger voters and non-college educated voters.
The first dropoff favors the GOP. The latter dropoff didnโt matter...until 2016 (when Trump won them over) and now that could hurt the GOP (because they're now Trump's base).
As these elections have shown, turnout among whites with a college degree is up, and even higher among women in that subgroup.
While the Obama-Trump voter still exists, the issue, again, is that they may not show up this time. But that may not matter for 2020.
Moving from a 2018 to a 2020 electorate may help Trump on balance, even with higher younger turnout (won't be that high anyway).
Obama-Trump voters will be more likely to show up then, so college educated whites won't have as much weight then.
EMERGENCY
VC
What happened last night?
>I agree with Medicare for All
>I want a Medicaid expansion
https://twitter.com/wiredsources/status/1034801326209814529
I really hope there is a debate set up, this along with wanting to abolish ICE and believing a corporate tax increase is a tax cut, not the sharpest knife in the drawer
@[Lex] GOP turnout is low in the special elections but high in the primaries
๐๐
@FLanon Do you think Gillum could win
I think DeSantis is more likely to win, but I'm not going to Hillary Effect it
Won't Gillum turn out people who don't normally vote in midterm elections
like Black voters
Yeah, he's a fucking idiot who wants to abolish ICE, wants to do medicare for all and a medicaid expansion *at the same time*, is under FBI investidation, and thinks a tax increase is a tax cut for corporations
