Differences in semiotics but not semantics.

2019-02-01 10:22:51 UTC  

Because we suffer from illegal immigration in may ways? I see it as the nation being a physical person. The border is the skin

2019-02-01 10:23:07 UTC  

Oh I missed posts. Craap

Rand Paul only runs Republican because they did daddy dirty when he ran for Republican.
But Libertarians aren't purely on the right or left on the political spectrum. They all argue for smaller government and less government spending. By your own admission, your understanding of American politics is limited, thus the debate is over. You will never see a Libertarian arguing for the border wall. At worst, they're ambivalent.

And because I have a limited understanding of American politics I strive to learn more about it. That's why I raise a question and hope to hear from people who know more about it, so I can broaden my understanding. That's what discussions/conversations are all about. Either you have a good point and are able to convey it, or you get corrected and learn something.

I've seen libertarians arguing for the border wall, but for it to be crowd funded instead of tax funded.

2019-02-01 13:16:37 UTC  

Are they self-professed Libertarians or are they actual libertarians?

2019-02-01 13:18:06 UTC  

Admittedly, I'm not an actual fan of libertarians but still.

2019-02-01 16:12:30 UTC  

they TRIED the crowdfunding thing though

2019-02-01 16:12:52 UTC  

it made millions, but it wasn't remotely ENOUGH

2019-02-01 16:13:27 UTC  

I'm not averse to letting states help fund it. They can do amazing things.

2019-02-01 16:14:08 UTC  

There was a single city that voted on and ran a funding bill that cost the populace around 60 dollars each and built a 60 billion dollar stadium

2019-02-01 16:14:15 UTC  

small government has a LOT of promise.

2019-02-01 17:18:25 UTC  

Agreed.

2019-02-01 17:57:44 UTC  

but we've enshrined huge government entities like teh FBI, CIA, and the rest of the alphabet as the real powers.

2019-02-01 17:57:52 UTC  

politicians change.

2019-02-01 18:15:38 UTC  

So should they. <_<

2019-02-01 18:51:17 UTC  

agencies don't

2019-02-01 18:51:38 UTC  

The deepstate is real

2019-02-01 18:51:43 UTC  

we have a bureaucratic aristocracy, yeah

2019-02-01 18:51:51 UTC  

why do you think the FBI is hounding trump

2019-02-01 18:52:01 UTC  

"obstruction of justice" prevents him from firing their asses

2019-02-01 18:56:09 UTC  

I do not recognize their authority

2019-02-01 19:38:44 UTC  

I do because I'm an American citizen.

2019-02-01 19:40:08 UTC  

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive

2019-02-01 23:22:32 UTC  

Patriot act was written before 9/11

2019-02-02 00:22:57 UTC  

Patriot Act was a wishlist of shit the LE / Intel community wanted but knew they would get flayed alive for asking for. When The 11 September attacks happened they just used the moment to pass it

2019-02-02 04:59:20 UTC  

Agreed.

2019-02-02 07:11:24 UTC  

Never let a good tragedy go to waste

2019-02-02 16:07:33 UTC  

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead or incapacitated, change my mind.

2019-02-02 19:43:36 UTC  

She can remain on the court unless she is dead can't she?

2019-02-02 19:54:23 UTC  

Fox News already leaked her death

2019-02-02 20:10:10 UTC  

let's get that confirmed or denied

2019-02-02 20:10:25 UTC  

fox alone isn't enough confirmation, but still enough to check

2019-02-02 20:13:06 UTC  

Lets look at the probability.

2019-02-02 20:13:19 UTC  

what was the last you heard about RBG?
And when did you hear the last of RBG?

2019-02-02 20:13:37 UTC  

Last I heard was a lung removal operation, wich is said to be a higher risk one.

2019-02-02 20:13:50 UTC  

And that was months ago.

2019-02-02 20:14:11 UTC  

So the conclusion can only be that she's either dead or on her way to be dead.

2019-02-02 20:14:36 UTC  

If that wasn't the case, we'd hear about something of her in da News.
