How is he shitting on his religion?
Hindus believe there are multiple Gods. He’s a Hindu.
But his statement to MAGA voters was God is real

Or in his case as a practicing Hindu, all the Gods are real
This greedy hedge fund manager is so desperate to be president he’s willing to take a shit on his own religion.

Lol, like the phone call 6 years ago that led to the fake impeachment, the one we now know as rightfully exposing Biden's corruption in Ukraine.

By your definition, because only a small minority ever gets elected, the mere fact of being elected makes them "great".
Blacks are minorities. Are you saying that because only a small minority of Americans are black, they are great?
Name one great Libertarian politician. Can you do that? One “above average” politician. One who stood out among the rest.

Anytime a politician says “this is a threat to our democracy,” what he’s really saying is “this is a threat to my bank account and my position of power.”
The Babylon Bee!
Real Fake News for morons!
The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures. It has been referred to as a Christian, evangelical, or conservative version of The Onion.[1][2][3]
If you want to know what’s going on, talk to an evangelical Christian. Lol

It appears that you begin with the assumption that NO libertarian can ever be great.
Name one great libertarian politician. Just one.
And Getting elected doesn’t make them great.

Being elected to public office is a level of eminence considerably above the normal or average.
First of all your list is comprised mostly of Libertarians who ran and lost or weren’t even in politics.
Second, to be above normal in politics you need to compare them to other POLITICIANS, not the average Joe Blow on the street.
What is wrong with you?

When you buy a T bill there is no asset, just the promise that the US government will steal to pay you back.
Right genius, government bonds are not an asset. Just like GP, without the government you would probably be dead already.
Created:
It's a portfolio with a 100% investment in T-bills. Which are worth nothing as inflation rises. Huge Ponzi scheme, investing in the government. Yet another involuntary tax.
Most of your jobs have been provided by the government. Without the government you would be living on the street in a cardboard box most likely.

It's not a safety net, it's just another IOU from a government fantastically deep in debt. No legal recompense is possible either, if they actually need to pay out they'll just dilute the currency which is why it can't outpace inflation.
Trump added 8 trillion to the debt in just 4 years. A record by far.
Created:
And President Roosevelt wanted to use Social Security’s funds to help pay for government deficits.
You are thinking of Ronald Reagan. That’s when the Federal government increased the SS Tax to 12.4% and collected more than they needed.
The treasury then used those phones for the general fund and left US Bonds in their place.
Created:
Hell, Social security has not even kept up with inflation in the last decade, meaning you are losing your wealth.
That’s another lie by GP. Social Security benefits are not predicated on market performance. They the benefits are fixed by a formula based on what you paid in and when you start drawing benefits.
Right now, the most a worker can pay in SS Tax is 10,000. The projected benefit for someone like myself retiring in 10 years at age 67 is $3500/mo.
This benefit is adjusted annually for inflation, and paid to the surviving spouse in case of death.
An annuity like this would cost over 1 million dollars.

Trump complained to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?”
Created:
This isn't hard to figure out. Sum up the taxes you've paid to the government, add the value lost to inflation, that's how much they stole. That's how much in government payouts you can accept without being a hypocrite in any way.
Well genius, you get way more from Social Security and Medicare than you pay in to those programs.
An annuity that gives you the same benefits as Social Security would cost over a million dollars.

“In interviews, some Republicans who do not plan to support Trump for the nomination said they’d lost track of his legal entanglements and were fatigued.
Diane Vallejo from Perry, Iowa, described the indictments as “ad nauseam” and said she had tired of hearing about them”
There are so many indictments, because Trump broke so many laws.
“I don’t think he’s innocent, but I don’t think he’s near as guilty as they’re trying to make him out to be,” If he were black, then he would definitely be completely guilty.
In a Democracy, the people will always get the government they deserve

“The 60-year old Iowan suggested Trump asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find enough votes to reverse his 2020 loss in Georgia is potentially “kind of serious.”
“Together with the other three indictments the former president is confronting, it makes Nevermann “in a way … want to resist the left more and say ‘Okay, I can support Trump.’”
“Why did they wait for three years for the indictments?”
Answer - Because witnesses like Lindsey Graham did everything they could do to delay their testimony under oath.

I was using YOUR definition of "great", so deal with it!
No, you’re not. A great politician is, for starters, someone who actually gets elected. He would also have political abilities above normal or average.
“Most people know how great is defined - of ability, quality, or eminence considerably above the normal or average”

Holding a seat in the State legislator would then fit your definition.
Um, no. It would not. Jimmy Carter was President of the United States. Would you say he was a great politician and leader?
They have to be great when compared to others in those positions. Compared to other legislators, judges, etc…
Are you suggesting every single President was great? Washington and Lincoln are the same as James Buchanan and Rutherford B Hayes?

It’s not a crime to send alternate slate of electors. The “real” ones get verified by the executive and state legislatures, so the VP and tellers know that they’re the ones to be counted.
Yes, it is a crime when the winner won by more than 10,000 votes and it is part of a scheme to overturn the votes in multiple states.
Trump also attempted to get the Justice Department to lie in a statement to the state legislatures that they suspect voter fraud in those states. The AG and dozens of others threatened to resign en masse if Trump followed through with his plan by appointing Jeffrey Clark.

So your whole argument is about how you define "great".
Do you define great as a guy who unsuccessfully ran for Lt. Governor?
Or Bob Barr who prosecuted the impeachment of Bill Clinton for lying about a blowjob in a civil case?
Most of the people you listed weren’t even elected politicians
Most people know how great is defined - of ability, quality, or eminence considerably above the normal or average.

So it’s confirmed. There hasn’t been a single important, great Libertarian in the history of the United States.
What are these people who identify as Libertarian thinking? Are they thinking “I vote for mediocrity”?
Are they thinking, “if we could just get a chance in the White House, a Libertarian would magically rise to the occasion”?

Which is why spamming the forum with corporate media opinions just makes everyone dumber.
That’s ridiculous.
First of all, the vast majority of what you write and present here is a lie. You have a problem with being truthful. Your last posting was a classic example of this — Gavin Newsome supporters attack capitalists with bear spray
Second, just because something is presented as opinion rather than news doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any value to the reader, especially if the opinion is an informed opinion that uses accurate facts to support the opinion.

When you label an example as “opinion,” I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. I am pointing out media narratives which turned out to be false.
Because something that is presented as “Opinion” is by definition not “News”.
A reader with basic intelligence should be able to understand the difference in what is being presented.

Robert Laurence Barr Jr.[1] (born November 5, 1948) is an American attorney and politician. He served as a federal prosecutor and as a U.S. Representative.[2] He represented Georgia's 7th congressional district as a Republican from 1995 to 2003.[2][3] Barr attained national prominence as one of the leaders of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.[2] During his time in the House of Representatives, he authored the Defense of Marriage Act, which was later overturned by the Supreme Court in 2013 and repealed by the 117th Congress.[4]
Again, I asked for someone great, like FDR or Senator Henry Clay and you give me guys like Bob Barr and disillusioned Republicans who dabbled with the Libertarian Party.

Also, Washington was a freedom lover and hated political parties. That would make him an independent libertarian.
No, it wouldn’t.
Libertarians are part of a very weak and insignificant political party.
Washington would laugh at Libertarians. Washington was a military general. I don’t see Libertarians serving in the military.
