The economy is rigged against working people and in favor of billionaires; every worker pays HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars transferred to billionaires. Read this article, and I promise you’ll never look at the government the same way again. libertarianinstitute.org/articles/how-t…

What a shitty fuckin' attitude. Perfect example of why we lose. Blackpilled af. No hope for America or Americans. Why would anyone ever support that? Fuck that. The revolution fuckin continues as far as I'm concerned, Massie or no Massie. No one man is too important if they fall when the rest of us stay in the fight.

If Massie wins, libertarians were right, the Iran war is a disaster, MAGA is dead, and America first is the way forward. If Massie loses, libertarians were right, the system is hopelessly corrupt, and we can’t vote our way out of this.

@HanShawnity So ... Massie is backed by people not owned by Israel and his opponent is funded almost exclusively by Israeli interests? Sounds like we know who the America First candidate is.

Trump has gone after all the GOP congressmen that signed on to the Epstein file release law. It's not a coincidence.

Tonight I sent the following email to the Libertarian National Committee requesting a dress code for business conventions addition to the policy manual to be applied in Grand Rapids and future national conventions. Members of the Libertarian National Committee, I am requesting consideration of a proposed addition to the Libertarian Party Policy Manual establishing a baseline professional dress standard for participation in official proceedings at the upcoming Grand Rapids National Convention and all future conventions. This proposal is not intended to impose ideological conformity or unnecessary rigidity, but rather to maintain a minimum standard of professionalism and decorum during the Party’s highest governing function. I respectfully request that a member of the LNC introduce the following language for consideration: "Proposed Policy Manual Addition — Convention Decorum and Attire Standards Section X.X — Delegate and Speaker Attire Requirements In order to preserve a professional atmosphere during all official sessions of the Libertarian Party National Convention, the following minimum attire standards shall apply to all delegates, alternates, speakers, candidates, and individuals addressing the convention body from a microphone during official business sessions: -Men shall wear collared shirts or equivalent business casual attire. -Closed-toe shoes shall be required for all participants engaging in convention floor business. -Business casual attire shall be considered acceptable minimum dress. -Neatly groomed facial hair shall be permitted. -Attire commonly understood to be intentionally disruptive, overtly theatrical, fetish-oriented, or materially inconsistent with the professional conduct of convention proceedings shall not be permitted during official business sessions. -Biological males shall not wear dresses, skirts, or attire traditionally recognized as women’s wear while participating in official convention business or addressing the body. The Chair, or any officer designee, shall have authority to deny microphone privileges, voting privileges, or floor participation to individuals not meeting these minimum standards until compliance is achieved. These standards shall apply only during official convention business sessions and shall not govern private social events, hospitality functions, or unofficial gatherings associated with convention activities." Regardless of differing views on culture or presentation, I believe most reasonable delegates agree that basic standards of professionalism strengthen the credibility and seriousness of the Party’s national proceedings. Thank you for your timely consideration of this matter! Respectfully, Ben Weir

Do the billionaires steal from working people in America today? Yes, through the mechanisms of inflation, massive crony government subsidies, gate-keeping regulations that keep out small business competitors, and other means by using the government they bought and paid for.

If Massie wins, he will vote with the democrats to impeach President Trump. If Ed Gallrein wins, he will vote to help Kentuckians. This vote is easy. Vote Ed Gallrein.

These statements are so thoroughly lawyered, it's ridiculous. A simple yes or no question, Rep. Spartz. You say that you did not attempt to "force" Ms. West to sign an NDA. Did the settlement agreement you proposed include any provision that would have restricted Ms. West's right to speak on any topic?

Rep. Victoria Spartz
Rep. Victoria Spartz@RepSpartz·
Due to numerous requests from the media, Rep. Spartz issued the following statement regarding Ms. West’s allegations against Rep. Massie and Rep. Spartz’s office: “Rep. Spartz has never heard of an alleged $5,000 settlement proposal - or any other settlement proposal- by Rep. Massie regarding allegations Ms. West brought against Rep. Spartz’s office. The first time Rep. Spartz heard these accusations by Ms. West against Rep. Massie was a few days ago in Ms. West’s public video. On a personal level, Rep. Spartz considers Thomas Massie to be one of the strongest supporters of women in Congress and a defender of women’s rights among her GOP colleagues. Rep. Spartz has seen him in action. Ms. West was not terminated by our office; rather, her temporary employment was not extended beyond 90 days due to concerning conduct by Ms. West. A few months later, Ms. West brought allegations against Rep. Spartz’s office, which Rep. Spartz denied and refused to settle during the pre-filing period. Recently, due to delays and other circumstances in this case, Rep. Spartz was willing to reconsider settlement discussions in order to save taxpayer money and mitigate disruptions to the operation of the office. At no point did Rep. Spartz try to force Ms. West into a non-disclosure agreement. On the contrary, Rep. Spartz would be happy to publicly disclose all aspects of these allegations, the circumstances surrounding Ms. West’s employment, and how this process is structured in Congress, if permitted to do so.”

THE MASSIE FILES: Thomas Massie was having an affair with a woman named Cynthia West and he was abusive with her; she is scared of him. Massie tried to bribe her to be quiet. I have her sworn video testimony. Massie must withdraw from the KY-4 House race. Vote for @EdGallrein.

@MisesChair Free speech is free speech. It doesn't matter if it comes from abroad. The voter is going to have to learn discernment, because the First Amendment has no border limitations on it.

One thing that the the populist right and libertarians may want to consider uniting with the populist left on given the obvious control that is exerted into our elections is revisiting Citizens United. The fact that you can have foreign interests create Super PACs and buy elections, subverting the will or the capability of the voting population is insane.

@misfitpatriot_ So, your point is that you support Trump - a man who cheated on all three of his wives while they were still alive - but you think it’s icky a widower who is free to marry got married again after his wife died? Okay. I guess.

I’m not saying Massie did anything illegal or that any kind of foul play happened at all regarding his wife’s passing, or how quickly he remarried. I am saying it was already pretty gross when we thought he only waited 16 months to remarry a woman who was 5 years old when he met his first wife, and happens to be one of his staffers. Now we have reason to believe he actually only waited 4 weeks after his wife passed before he started dating a woman who he moved up to live with him before she left him 6 weeks later. That means at best, he mourned his wife about as long as it took the gallon of milk in his fridge to go bad, before finding another woman he dated about as long as it took for the next gallon of milk he bought to go bad, who he ironically tried to pay off with cow money. If the allegations are true. He probably finally met the woman who wasn’t uncomfortable with doing whatever led the second woman to file an ethics complaint, and decided to lock it down immediately. Or maybe it was so fast so she couldn’t legally testify against him?…. 🤔 I’m just asking questions 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way Trump was right to call this shit weird under the best circumstances, because it was. Now it’s weirder.

Can you explain how Iran having a nuclear weapon is in the interest of the average American?
General Ganko@GeneralGanko

@AP4Liberty Can you explain how war in Iran is in the interest of the average American? 13 service members have died so we can have high gas and grocery prices. Feel free to quote tweet this and not answer the question like you love to do.
