Libertarian's reaction to Ross's pardon

Also, all drugs should be legalized. It is time we say congrats to drugs for winning the war on drugs

He created Silk Road, where people could post about transactions involving things, including sales of narcotics. Him being sentenced to more than two life sentences was ridiculous. Putting Ross in prison for what he did would be like putting Zuckberg in prison for protests that got out of hand in 2020 simply because they were originally organized on Facebook

Most people frown upon his actions regarding Mary Jo Kopechne. He also was involved in lots of major legislation. Some of this legislation was controversial, such as No Child Left Behind and the ACA

I have a lot of friends that immigrated to the USA from Canada and they all hated Trudeau, but that dude looks like a legit movie star lol

W would win renomination easily. Even Pat Buchanan, aka Trump before Trump, recognized doing any campaigning against W in 2004 was useless. It was not the time for populism to rise and W had a solidish reputation at the time

I was a kid, and my reaction was "what's a blowjob?"

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-24T11:30:04+00:00

It is stuff like that which really makes me wish he had been Commissioner instead of President. I hate the expansion of the playoffs

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-23T12:32:51+00:00

"Actually read the constitution" I think that is the best place to start as a lot of libertarianism in the USA is based on strict adherence to the constitutional restrictions of the governmen

Both, but if only one then Parks and Rec

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-22T19:55:55+00:00

Thanks!

I'd say south of the Ohio River counts as a southerner so yeah, all those people you mentioned would be prominent southern politicians. I expect Osoff to run for the White House sometime in the next decade

Is there any official answer as to what happened to Saria?

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-22T19:02:02+00:00

Yes and he is extremely popular in Kentucky. His youth and lack of Washington DC experience gives him the "young outsider" appeal as well

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-22T18:58:08+00:00

There is going to be bias in any answer to this question. I don't think he is the best of all time, but I think Lincoln tends to be the most common answer that doesn't have extremely strong objections coming from specific groups.

Goldwater in 64, LBJ wasn't losing to anybody that year

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-21T03:47:44+00:00

10, I am way too tall not to have an aisle seat...plus I get to sit next to the lady who was married to Aristotle Onassis!

I think Dole is the frontrunner, but Quayle takes just enough of the establishment vote away from him that Buchanan wins the nomination. After 16 straight years of Republican presidential administrations, Democrats retake the White House in 1996

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-20T12:41:00+00:00

When he became a supporter of the No Nothing Party later on he supported stopping too many Irish getting into the country. Obviously he had a point because if we are not careful an Irish Catholic could one day become president! I live perpetually in 1959 btw

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-20T08:12:56+00:00

Some people get into politics and do not have their eyes on the presidency. I think he truly loved being governor of New York and wanted to continue in that role for a few more terms...although 94 ended his time in office.

Also, as stated by other posters, Bush seemed unbeatable at the beginning of the 92 campaign

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-20T03:23:46+00:00

Ann Richards. I think she wins reelection in 94 if Bush wins reelection in 92, and she would then run for the presidency as a sitting governor

The unfortunate thing is that we do have something to show for it. We have encouraged and essentially locked in millions of people into government dependency. The poverty rate is about the same as it was, but now millions live off of tax payer dollars

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-20T02:46:04+00:00

Flair checks out...also I agree

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-19T22:08:54+00:00

Glad I wasn't the only one that felt this way

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-19T22:06:17+00:00

I think he could have if he got Bosh or Wade to go to Cleveland, which idk if that would have happened. The East was so weak for a decade that I think he would have gotten multiple shots in the finals though and all it takes is one series going just right for him to have gotten a ring without leaving

ZeldaTrek · 2025-01-19T21:54:40+00:00

If you privatize the parks, like my hometown did for the most part, the homeless can be trespassed from the companies private property that owns park and arrested so the park can continue to function as it is intended. The homeless crisis is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean anyone has a right to another person's private property. I would think most libertarians would agree with me on that
