Libertarians pick ticket, slam Trump
[CHANNEL3000] Libertarians on Sunday selected a presidential ticket headed by former perennial also-ran New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, who lit into presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on immigration and a range of other issues.

#1  Right, split the vote. Get Hillary elected --- cause you ain't seen nothing yet. IMO, POTUS Hillary will make us all (not just Americans) remember Obama with fondness.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 05/31/2016 2:16 Comments || Top||

#2  I'm pretty sure the Libertarians would have picked a candidate whether or not the Republicans nominated Trump.
Posted by: Iblis || 05/31/2016 11:36 Comments || Top||

#3  It's telling that they've got little to say about the Hildebeast.

It's pathetic to see how many "tough minded, independent thinking" libertarians really just want to eat lunch with the "cool kids".

This is why I've long since ceased to take them seriously, even as I'm in sympathy with at least some of their views.

#4  It's telling that they've got little to say about the Hildebeast.

Where's the media attention in that? Trash Hillery and the Ministry of Truth makes you disappear. Trash Trump and get coverage. "Look, I'm impotent important."

#5  Gary Johnson was on the Adam Corolla Podcast (Trump and Cruz were a couple of months ago) and I liked what he said.

I think voters are smart enough to know when they live in a battleground state or not. Those in California, NY and other super-blue states can probably safely vote Libertarian without costing the election.

Libertarian Party chair candidate strips on stage at national convention
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Something you’ll never see at a Democrat or Republican convention: A candidate for Libertarian Party chair on Sunday danced and stripped down to his thong before leaving the stage amid a chorus of boos.

James Weeks announced immediately after his striptease, which was performed to music, that he would drop out of the race, adding, “I’m sorry, that was a dare.”
Don't look. Not a performance you want to see.
The booing Libertarians made it clear they didn't want to see it either.

#4  This is part of the reason why a majority of Americans support Libertarian views, but the Libertarian party never gets out of low single digits.

WSJ‘s Bret Stephens: Trump Must Lose So Badly That the GOP Voters ‘Learn Their Lesson’
[MEDIAITE] Americans have always had a hard time "learning a lesson."
What's he going to say if Hilarity loses that badly? Anyone think the Dem voters will learn a lesson?

#2  ...Man, the GOP aristocracy is getting further and further away from reality every day.

Not that they were snuggled right up against it in the first place, you understand.

#3  And then there are the rabit antics of Bill Krystol.
Posted by: Besoeker || 05/31/2016 4:58 Comments || Top||

#4  With two Obama national election wins and Trump & Cruz success against 'great' GOP establishment candidates I think it is the GOP leadership that has failed to learn their lesson.

#5  I agree wholeheartedly wid Trump being labeled s the "The GREAT WHITE HOPE" during Pat Buchanan's CNN interview the other day.

AFAIC Trump can also be labeled the "LAST WASP/WHITE MAN/IMMIGRANT". The Marxist-SOcialist-Globalist Lefties + aligned Special Interest have given the US until roughly or circa Year 2025 to be suborned under OWG-NWO + Socialism, iff not after which thy reserve their unilateral right to resort to armed militancy + insurrection to make it so.

We've seen a precursor in the violent or confrontational mass protests agz Trump occurring now in CA.

FYI I still don't se anything in the above-mentioned Trump-vs-Anti-Trump protests in CA to indic that the Lefties can control or will control the various factions.

ADVANTAGE = JIHADIS + GLOBAL JIHAD.

I will say again that its safe to say that SHARIA LAW WILL BE MANIFESTED IN AMERIKA BECAUSE THE SECUALR LEFTIES ARE ALREADY FORCING = ATTEMPTING TO IMPOSE THE VARIOUS ALTERNATIST AGENDAS WHICH ARE ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED BY HARDLINE ISLAMIC GOVTS-SOCIETIES.

In the end, the Hard Boyz + their violence will only militarily impose what the Marxist-Secularists already had.

OH THE HUGE MANA-IRONY!

D *** NG IT - IRONY, NOT MANATEES!

#6  "The peasants are revolting!"
Posted by: charger || 05/31/2016 11:32 Comments || Top||

#7  Another elitist that has forgotten the simple nuance that the party represents the people's wishes, they do not rule them. He is lucky tyrants and their supporters are not beheaded in America.
Posted by: 49 pan || 05/31/2016 11:35 Comments || Top||

#8  One wonders is this is yet another symptom in real time of the metastasizing cancer in the body politic. The established elites inside the beltway have really become disconnected from the bulk of the nation, the coastists (left coast and right) cannot fathom that fundamental expectations have not been met as they have heaped on regulation, confiscatory taxation, political correctness, gay agenda, minority rights, educational vapidity, and deindustrialization that has left the working class increasingly hopeless.
Trump represents the growing "fuck-it, it can't be worse than this crap" attitude of a great number of white men and their families who see their heritage squandered and pilfered to buy votes from imported aliens. This in the national petrie dish for violence protest and civil unrest, not by oppressed minorities or clueless students but angry citizens who despair that the American dream is dead!

#9  Amazing this cycle the number of anti-democracy types regardless of identity came out to show the peasants how its all been a rigged game.

#10  He is lucky tyrants and their supporters are not beheaded in America.

And you are unlucky.

#11  Actually I learned my lesson with Bush, Dole, McCain and Mitt -- don't nominate an "electable" half-assed Dem to run in the general.

Trump is perfectly aligned with the regular joe platform:
1. Protect our borders
2. Kill terrorists
3. Punch a hippy.

Posted by: regular joe || 05/31/2016 15:33 Comments || Top||

#12  Just one hippy?

#13  How many ya got?

#14  Another elitist that hasn't realized that the voters have television and internet access as well.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 05/31/2016 17:06 Comments || Top||

#15  Are there any of these elitists, both Democrat and Republican as well as the MSM who hasn't slammed Trump? He must be doing something right if all these a$$holes are jumping on with such vigor. I say to them go f&%k yourselves.

#16  The few have had the media. The few think they are a majority. They have never realized how small their numbers are.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Sanders: We need to take the Palestinians into account, too
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] Democratic presidential candidate says he supports Israel’s right to exist, but stresses the Palestinians must also be considered.
Of course he did. The honourable senator joined the boycott of Bibi Netanyahu's speech to both Houses of Congress, urgently needed to wash his hair instead of speaking to AIPAC, and insisted on adding BDS supporters to the Democratic Party platform committee. No doubt his supporters are a good portion of the 1/3rd of Americans who think boycotting Israel is legitimate, versus the 2/3rds who think it blatant antisemitism.
If he were to win the general election he'd go about showing everyone how 1/3 matters more than 2/3s...

#1  I say take 'em into account. Account for them trying to kill the Jews no matter what.

Wanna go for a walk on a beach in Gaza Mr. Sanders?

#3  The palistinians do need to be taken into concideration. But first we must rid them of Hamas and hezbullah. Then the people can live in peace.

Sorry, pan. They'll just find another way to muck up the territory.

#7  Why?
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/31/2016 18:21 Comments || Top||

#8  Why? The Palestinians didn't even exist until a few decades ago and were only created after Israel kicked Arab ass and they needed a 'new approach'... creating a people out of whole cloth and populating it with their undesirables accomplished just that.
