Everything is Fine – Trust Your Government a.co/d/04rgPU9Q

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

My politics scale with distance: communism at the dinner table, democracy at city hall, republicanism at the statehouse, and libertarianism in Washington.

America First means American weapons, American control, American taxpayers, American interests. Section 224 fails that test.

Trump doesn’t need one Nobel Peace Prize. He needs a punch card. Win five Iran wars that weren’t wars, get the sixth peace deal free.

The mental gymnastics required to pretend this isn’t a war should qualify as an Olympic event. Missiles? Not war. Airstrikes? Not war. U.S. bases attacked? Not war. Congress bypassed? Definitely not war. Just a little overseas fireworks show with a defense contractor afterparty.

Read more Rothbard, folks!

Trump: I’m attacking Iran. I’m not attacking Iran. I’m attacking Iran. I’m not attacking Iran. Markets:

We were told foreign aid was temporary. Now they want defense-industrial integration. That’s not friendship. That’s dependency. Kill Section 224.

Trump said today that we're making a fortune from the Iranian oil. Fact check: we have spent at least $30 billion on the war so far. At current prices we would need to steal 375 million barrels of oil to break even. In other words, he's lying. We are nowhere near breaking even.

Inflation. And inflation is theft.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

WTF fresh evil is this?

CPI calculator proving $100k in January 2020 now buys what $130k does today — a 30% real loss in purchasing power for wages, savings, and fixed incomes. That’s a silent, brutal tax on working families. @POTUS @GOP @DNC Fuck You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas Massie lost and Lindsey Graham won. If you still believe that the Republican Party is for small limited government, individual freedom, and no new wars then you have the IQ of a potato.

It is often overlooked that the dancing Israelis didn’t just take celebratory photos (and video that was never recovered) of the burning towers on 9/11 with apparent foreknowledge of the attack. They actually took photos from the same vantage point the day before holding up lit lighters to the tower (like burning it down) It’s all documented in fbi reports- just a coincidence that a bunch of ex-Israeli intelligence officers were working at Israeli moving companies surveilling the attacks the day before and day of. Then they were caught with explosive residue found in their van and prepurchased plane tickets for each of them to different foreign countries scheduled for the day after (9/12). When the fbi went to go raid the offices- they were abandoned, the Israeli owner had vanished and left everything (except some electronics) there. All just normal coincidental Jewish behavior before being sent back to Israel and saying their purpose there was to “document the events” The actually retarded 9/11 conspiracy theory is that osama bin Laden carried out the world’s most sophisticated terror attack from some mud cave in the mountains with no internet and a small handful of Arabs that couldn’t fly planes caused three controlled demolitions in NYC (including one building they didn’t hit), a physically impossible flight path at the pentagon, and a disappearing plane crash in shanksville. And we know it was them because they had indestructible passports and Mohamed atta decided to leave a briefcase with their detailed plans and personal information in the airport so the Americans could know all about them. If you have not yet learned the truth about 9/11- or more accurately, the lies, you’re falling behind. Catch up.

Bring back covfefe. Whatever this is ain’t it.

Sometimes I just like to post this ancient image of me and Murray Rothbard.
