@joe_has_tweets @MarkAPippin @AgoristN @TotalDesolation Can you clarify how DOGE is different than what Reagan and Friedman did? What is being done differently this time that wasn't done previously?

@MarkAPippin @AgoristN @TotalDesolation Correct. You know what’s worse? doing nothing to fix the budget. Trump’s a politician just like all the rest. The difference is through tariffs through DOGE him not taking a salary getting the ballroom privately funded. Those are all things to increase growth and reduce debt

@ImBreckWorsham @RandPaul The answer is to do what his father has suggested, and offer an opt-out plan.

Dear @RandPaul , I adore you. But raising the age on Social Security is not the answer. The answer is to: A.) Stop funding foreign interests. B.) Stop taxing the fuck out of the American people so they can grow independent wealth. C.) Grandfather in those who have already been robbed of their earnings through social security deductions and end the program for Americans entering working age. That way, you see, the government keeps its hands out of the American worker's cookie jar and people can provide for their future themselves. A little history note: Americans survived on their own for 161 years before Social Security reared its ugly head. You say you're for limited government. Act like it.

@MJTruthUltra All the social security money is supposed to be spent every month. All taxation is theft, but you were only blind in that you didn't understand how this works. All explanations of how this is intended to work are extremely clear you're not guaranteed to ever see a dime of it.

Unbelievable… Rand Paul wants you to be 70 Years old before you can collect social security, OR, raise everyone’s social security tax to 25% to keep it at 67. The life expectancy for an American today is 78.4 years. So he wants Americans to enjoy only 8 years of peace (if they’re lucky) before they die. All the money we’ve been putting into that social security pot over the decades… where the heck is it? Our politicians have robbed us blind. rumble.com/v712ah8-rand-p…

@LemonSturgis Donating to a soup kitchen is an option

I want my taxes to go towards feeding hungry people.

@OlsenO78703 @MattWallace888 Not a firm believer in the idea of separating church and state, huh?

@MattWallace888 We are a Christian nation and founded on Christian principles by Christian men. I think having a statue of our Savior on the White House lawn is long over due.

@Forbes How about instead, they just stop taking it from our paychecks

@Ray_C_Gardner @susanhogarth @RealAngelaMc It's still around, but it never did apply to the "court of public opinion."

@susanhogarth @RealAngelaMc What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

You do know that @RealAngelaMc is under active investigation for at least one credible allegation of embezzlement, right? And that she was the Chair of a political party whose candidate was NOT Trump or other Republicans or Democrats, right? So I guess that’s where you stand on integrity.

@CptAncapistan @LPNH "We can't just wait for people to be educated! But I myself don't want to be the one to get involved rather than waiting."

Yes. And I want the bans. The chronic health crisis is too pressing to wait for the public to be enlightened on free market regulation. It also likely would not have occurred in the first place w/o state support. If you want a more libertarian future, a healthier population is a prerequisite. We need a population that is able to think clearly and isn’t so weak. Defending the corporate-government-cult interests in keeping us sick and eating cheap slop in the name of libertarianism is every bit as self-defeating as defending open borders while the gov’t is trying to import anti-liberty voters.

Suppose that RFK: - Acts authoritarian on food and additive bans - Acts libertarian on right-to-try and medical innovation Would it be worth it?

@eigenrobot Good thing OpenAI didn't misappropriate anyone's work to train its model...

supposing this were true, how would you even stop it?

@LarrySharpe @YALiberty I think he'd be great and I think he can be trusted not to bend the knee for shiny trinkets.

What are your thoughts about Justin Amash?

@LP_Florida @DavidFite @LPNational Yes.

@DavidFite @LPNational Amash is a registered Republican. Does he even qualify? 🤔

I've seen this being the main conversation today. Who would you rather see as the next Chair of @LPNational?

@DavidFite @LPNational I am not a member of any party. But as someone who generally likes libertarian ideals... Amash. He's always been a great choice. The MC, I hoped they'd turn out better. Amash 100% - he won't bend the knee.

@CharDietz2 @rebelEducator When there's a major crisis in a single building, often the closest cell tower gets overwhelmed. It's better if instead, the school has an effective plan to keep the kids safe and alerts the parents afterward.

This is a difficult question. If our schools were actually safe, with serious educators who want the best for our children, I would answer absolutely no phones in school. With the current state of our schools, I feel it's necessary for our children to have a communication device.

Do you think phones should be banned in schools?

@Old_Millennia1 @LibertyCappy In what way?

@skarbon @LibertyCappy Our hand has been forced to some degree, unfortunately

@ChrisClemency @jackvlloyd @bradical It will not be built at all if nobody constructs it or pushes for it to be constructed.

@jackvlloyd @bradical And how do you propose anyone stop that? Or, better yet, understand it took progressives almost 60 years to taste the rotten fruits of their push. Everything Liberty needs to be a slow burn. Rome will not be built today.

Michael Heise should not be Chair of the Libertarian Party. After the Mises Caucus lost much of its funding and momentum thanks to Dave Smith deciding not to run, he got desperate to find a candidate to monetize so he could keep an income in politics. He chose Michael Rectenwald, a man who had been a communist 5 times longer than he had been a libertarian, with no material ties to the Libertarian Party, to run for the Mises Caucus so he could continue to earn an income. Michael refused to negotiate with others because he wanted to win in totality at all costs, which cost him many relationships. His unwillingness to negotiate and build coalitions made the Mises Caucus lose the presidential race. They had refused to offer any outsider a position against the Rectenwald and Clint Russel ticket, which meant that others had the opportunity to team up. Rectenwald ended up embarrassing the Mises Caucus with a drug-induced sperg-out/walk-off on stage, causing many to drift toward Chase and Mike instead after seeing his unprofessional behavior. Others formed a coalition, which enabled Chase and Mike to win in the end. With two sequential financial losses, Michael Heise had to bank on Angela McArdle giving him a leg-up into the LP so he could continue to earn a living in the Libertarian political world. But Heise could not successfully fundraise with big donors, because his name and history was already tied to too many bad optics and conflicts. In addition, Heise started Dissident Media, which has already announced support of tariffs and militarization of the border, going against the decentralized Ron Paul revolution he onced espoused. Heise should not be rewarded with another position to try to eek out what is left of his Libertarian cash grab. He has already betrayed the Libertarian Party's core principles of being a distinct and separate entity with his public endorsement of Trump through Dissident Media.

@XeeK52 @TruntUpTrunk @LibertyCappy They're not stealing it. They are using that outlet exactly how it's intended to be used, and it's being used by exactly who it's intended for.

@TruntUpTrunk @LibertyCappy If they are concerned about their $300 charger, they should not steal power. Simple.

@Razkolni @Capn_Spalding @jakejas86 @LPNational Ah, I see. So he gets the free pass in your book. In other words, people's suspicions were correct that his followers will not hold him to his word.

@skarbon @Capn_Spalding @jakejas86 @LPNational The libertarian party never endorsed him. There is nothing to fulfill.

Libertarian Party’s Promise Fulfilled: President Trump Issues Full Pardon for Ross Ulbricht President Trump Honors Commitment Made to Libertarian Party at National Convention President Donald Trump made a promise to the Libertarian Party, to its members, and to Chair Angela McArdle, to free Ross Ulbricht at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention. We are proud to announce today that because of the influence, the impact and the power that the party can wield, Ross Ulbricht once more walks in the light of liberty, outside of a cell, pardoned by President Trump. “Ross Ulbricht has been a libertarian political prisoner for more than a decade. I’m proud to say that saving his life has been one of our top priorities and that has finally paid off,” said Libertarian National Committee Chair, Angela McArdle. “Ross, congratulations to you and your family. God bless you and keep you safe in your new found freedom. On behalf of the Libertarian Party, we are gifting you with an honorary lifetime membership. Thank you to Pres. Trump for following through on your promise. This is an incredible moment in Libertarian history.” The Libertarian Party has embarked on a new path that exercises the potent influence of its membership and base to become a party of influence in national politics. This initiative was moved forward in advance of the National Convention by Party Chair Angela McArdle, who worked to bring in new voices, and potential allies on issues Libertarians hold most sacred. President Donald Trump was one such invitee, and that coordinated effort to unite philosophies has proven to be immediately fruitful in the freeing of Mr. Ulbricht. Freeing Ross is only the first step in an overarching plan in place by the Libertarian National Committee for 2025 that will look to bring justice to more politically persecuted individuals, Defend the Guard, Decentralize the Revolution, create Local DOGE, and vastly increase local race victories through new tactical and logistical strategies. Roger Ver, aka Bitcoin Jesus, is currently fighting prosecution, and as previously announced, the Party’s Anti-Lawfare Initiative already has eager volunteers waiting to lend their talents to the fight.

@Capn_Spalding @jakejas86 @LPNational Yes, now that he's fulfilled one promise let's stop expecting him to fulfill promises.

@jakejas86 @LPNational To do what - sit around and complain about shit ?

@LibertyHills423 @susanhogarth Learn to criticize leaders you support. Failure to do so is what enabled this injustice to happen.

@susanhogarth It truly is wild, some of y’all are insufferable. Be still and silent for a minute and celebrate this correction of injustice. For a moment, be happy that this man who was wrongly convicted is now free.

Fantastic news on the Ross front. But the “libertarian movement” did not support you. You may recall hundreds of libertarians booing your bloviating ass when you tried to impress us. The implication that you pardoned Ross not because he was wrongly convicted, but because you were paying off supporters is disgusting, but par for the course.
