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.

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

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

they TRIED the crowdfunding thing though

it made millions, but it wasn't remotely ENOUGH

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

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

small government has a LOT of promise.

Agreed.

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

politicians change.

So should they. <_<

agencies don't

The deepstate is real

we have a bureaucratic aristocracy, yeah

why do you think the FBI is hounding trump

"obstruction of justice" prevents him from firing their asses

I do not recognize their authority

I do because I'm an American citizen.

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive

Patriot act was written before 9/11

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

Agreed.

Never let a good tragedy go to waste

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

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

Fox News already leaked her death

let's get that confirmed or denied

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

Lets look at the probability.

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

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

And that was months ago.

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

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

probably

so let's get her checked up

Health and Safety Check

$10 that she has been dead and has just controlled by a ventriloquist.
