For everyone thinking Trump is a strong favorite, which states is he flipping? Theoretically I can see him making it closer (personally I don’t think he will), but I just don’t see enough electoral votes within his reach for a win

Has anyone explained why Trump and, apparently, Mike Lee were invited to speak at the Libertarian convention?

Because libertarians are Republicans first.

Picking up on how the perception of the economy might affect the election:

Just tuned in to what has been called the retail apocalypse, and it is easy to see how people could view the ongoing raiding by private equity groups as a bad economy. Folks see their Red Lobster going bankrupt and think, the economy must be bad, not, some folks bought Red Lobster and sold the real estate, and now the franchise can’t make rent.

Yeah, I think this is part of the plan to burn down our government.

Understanding the corrosive effects of private equity and vampire capitalism is a little too much to ask of a citizenry raised on the myth of the American Dream.

Sure. But when Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel both close, many think it is due to a bad economy.

Reminds me of my dad when he had Alzheimer’s. Of course he served so he was just reliving his past. Trump is just a piece of shit losing his grip on reality.

it could be many, but to be fair, this is more a case of Biden's base losing enthusiasm

Dotard got 6 sovereign citizens or Libertarian delegates to vote for him, out of 800.  

Also receiving votes: Stormy Daniels, Ben Dover, Denali the Cat, and Afroman.  The chef's kiss is a guy who goes by Toad received 16 votes.

I said this in the MTG thread. I really need to leave this country. I have a true visceral reaction, and pure hatred, for him and all other MAGA/right wing fucksticks. It's truly unhealthy.

Trump’s people had Secret Service confiscating rubber chickens..

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4687060-donald-trump-squeaky-chicken-libertarian-controversy/
 

Rubber, squeaky chickens were handed out this weekend at the Libertarian Party convention in Washington, D.C., to call on former President Trump to debate independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The rubber chickens, which had the words “Debate Bobby” on them were passed out by the pro-Kennedy American Values 2024 super PAC at the weekend convention, where Trump was met with a raucous crowd and a mix of boos and cheers.

Tony Lyons, the co-chair of American Values 2024, confirmed to The Hill that the group distributed the rubber chickens to attendees Saturday.

“Biden and Trump are scared to death to debate Bobby because they know what the voting public is learning rapidly—that Bobby Kennedy can win, that he alone will end the corruption, end the wars, end the chronic disease epidemic and rebuild the middle class, the engine of our democracy,” Lyons said in a statement. 

In one video of Trump’s Saturday address, an apparent silhouette of a rubber chicken could be seen being held up by an audience member. 

CNN reported that Secret Service agents confiscated some of the rubber chickens ahead of Trump’s speech.

Nate Herring, a spokesperon for the U.S. Secret Service, told The Hill the agency often publishes a list of prohibited items that are not permitted in protected sites. 

“Although this list specifically identifies several objects that are not allowed in secure areas, the list also includes a general prohibition on any items determined, at the agent’s discretion, to be a potential safety hazard or disruptive to the event,” Herring wrote in a statement.

Libertarians don’t want to win. They want to pat themselves on the back for being above it all. They want to say they aren’t a part of the problem. Actually winning an election would be bad for them. That’s what attracts everyone to that freak show and other 3rd parties. Both parties already have coalitions that include them, they just reliably refuse to join.

I don't know about y'all but every Libertarian I've ever known is an insecure, know it all, contrarian jackass that likes to scrutinize the political  views of others while never wanting to hear scrutiny of their own. The fact that they'll never win and hold any office makes it where they never have to admit that their ideas are childish and unworkable in the real world. 

Hello fellow former libertarians

Let's flesh this out. I'm not rich enough for Spain or Italy. Was always planning on Mexico, so what's the Mexico version on the Mediterranean?

IMO, lots of options in Greece within walking distance to great beaches and scene and the other cultural aspects if you are in to them. Halkidiki is under the radar for Americans, but getting bought up by eastern europeans. Problem is working out reliable and trust worthy property management if you are going to spend most of the year stateside. The Greeks got their own words for getting over on people. Whether it is the tax man, or other, don't really matter. It's not the Mexico I remember as a kid on holidays, but it is something. A reliable property management firm that didn't fuck over ex-pats and play enough by the rules would print money imo.

Hey Everybody … As Rex and other good people conservatives informed us about our “unhinged” delusion and paranoia, there is nothing to really worry about with MAGA-GQP.

The Texas Tribune reports the following: The Texas GQP voted Saturday on a platform that called for new laws to 

— require the Bible to be taught in public schools

— require statewide elected leaders to win the popular vote in a majority of Texas counties

— to make abortion a homicide 

— reverse recent name changes to military bases

— “publicly honor the southern heroes” 

— demand that the U.S. government disclose “all pertinent information and knowledge” of UFOs.

And the declare that illegal immigration is the “greatest threat to American security and sovereignty” and calls for the state and federal governments to devote all available resources to deporting undocumented immigrants.

Again, nothing to worry about … especially when Trump is gone. 

This is not fascism or building a theocracy.

Just "good people" doing good people things!

Maybe we'll get lucky and after his incessant airing of grievances, Krueger will pin him down and shove an aluminum pole up his ass and end him.  I dunno. 

Say, how'd my horse do?

Hey, I’m all about honoring every one of the “southern heroes.” Here, I’ll list them for you:

……


……


Yep, that covers it. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FUCKING SOUTHERN HEROES. JUST FUCKING TRAITORS WHO TOOK UP ARMS AGAINST OUR COUNTRY. The only good confederates are the ones we shot fucking dead, and the only thing “good” about them was “they’re fucking dead.”

The GQP is openly and proudly the party of treason. Traitors. Every one of them, and every person who votes for them. Not because we have some political difference of opinion, but because they LITERALLY PUT “PRAISE TRAITORS” IN THEIR GODDAMNED PLATFORM.

Fuck them all to hell.

You’re quite hilarious to me. You must be constantly fighting this internal mechanism. Your online persona, anyway.

Totally off the deep end. We’d all be better off if he just had the balls to jump off that ledge instead of doing his extremist rhetoric.

I’m against celebrating traitors.

And in 2024 America, that’s an “extremist” and “unhinged” position. That seems great for us.

I guess the next step is to honor those brave men who fought for their god against a far superior enemy, putting their sacred faith first.
I’m just not sure where we’ll put the “9/11 Heroes of Al Qaeda” monument. Maybe right outside the Pentagon would make sense.

Equivocating 9/11 terrorists with Robert E Lee. Brain worms. Unsurprising form from a poster that runs out analogies to deflect from American arming and funding ethnic cleansing cause he maybe jaywalked one time or raised his voice in unjustified anger at one of his paralegals.

Telling someone that they should jump off a ledge because of internet posts and you want to say other people have brain worms. 

I thought telling people to kill themselves gets you a warning or ban
