Does D.C. have local laws? I understand it's under Congress, but they decided to have elections and a mayor and stuff. But there shouldn't be any kind of state law, so when you get tried for drugs or murders it would just be under the federal statutes, right? Imagine how fucked everyone there would be if they just enforced the federal law on weed.

Might be late on this, but essentially the House let D.C. form a managerial government that is locally elected. So at any point in time the House can just kick everyone out and all they can do is seethe. Also the Speaker can override any and all orders given to the police force, due to technically being in charge of D.C., which is why Trump called the National Guard.

In other news, it looks like The Swamp has swallowed MAHA and RFK Jr:
L|A

The “Make America Healthy Again” strategy report is supposed to be one of Kennedy’s signature achievements as the nation’s health secretary, giving the government a roadmap to help its citizens lose weight, reduce chronic diseases and exercise more. Before coming to Washington, Kennedy had spent much of his career decrying the harms of chemicals sprayed on crops, prescription drugs, ultraprocessed foods, and vaccines.
His coalition, then, has expected him to take bold action as the nation’s top health leader. But a draft of the so-called “MAHA” report, first reported by The New York Times Thursday night, mostly calls on the government to further study chronic diseases, bad air quality, Americans’ diets and prescription drug use.
Some in the agricultural industry had warily anticipated the report, fearing it would call for bans or investigations into the use of pesticides and herbicides that farmers in the U.S. regularly spray on crops to control weeds and enhance yields.
Other farmers were concerned about how the report may target the use of corn syrup, a common sweetener, in American foods. Both products have been a central talking point in Kennedy’s “MAHA” movement, which has attracted a diverse coalition of suburban and rural moms, Trump supporters and liberals concerned about the nation’s food supply.
Instead, the report calls for an “awareness” campaign to raise confidence in pesticides.
Big Ag won. Drink your Monsanto flavored Corn Syrup, it's Govt Approved™️
Means also acknowledged that the “pace of political change” can be frustrating.

“We need to build bridges,” Means said, adding that: “We are not going to win if the soybean farmers and the corn growers are our enemy.”
Disappointing.
 
Classic libertarianism cannot work outside of a 95%+ White Christian society.

Modern libertarianism is the ideology of pedophiles who want to diddle children without anyone being able to condemn them.
I have been so disillusioned by libertarianism because of the internal faggotry at the party level and people like Massie, it's insane. Ron Paul is a hero, but most people have to be more pragmatic. Ron also, despite all the positives, rose a dipshit son that is effete to the point of being the next Lindsey Graham.
 
At which point does the foaming-at-the-mouth psychotic Zionist lust for the punitive slaughter of innocents start to make ‘Christians United for Israel’ ask “is this a course of action Jesus would be endorsing?”
Never. CUFI is the biggest single 'Christian Zionist' organization in the country, by & for Evangelical boomers who would gladly sacrifice their firstborns & other children for Israel. They're also led by John Hagee, a strong contender for the crown of #1 Evangelical Fellator of Jewry even when compared to the likes of Jerry Falwell & Pat Robertson, as besides being a rabid Israel shill (normal for televangelists) he's also a supporter of the 'dual-covenant' heresy that argues that Jews don't need to believe in Jesus to attain salvation (a bridge too far even for many other Evangelicals, he backed away from the label under heat from them after some years). Bastard was born in the wrong century, he would've been Cromwell's or Gustavus Adolphus' strongest soldier (especially Cromwell who was the prototypical Anglo-Protestant arch-shabbos goy) had he been born in the 1600s instead.
 
"Not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up."

I see he is still upset about the Israel and Iranian shitshow. Hopefully this one will hold up so he can get snubbed for yet another Nobel Peace prize.
Ever since Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, it has become a joke.
 
So nothing got done with Trump's Meeting with Putin. Of course nothing got done.
All this was is about a fucking dick measuring contest.

This is the same asshole that called up Norway about getting his Nobel Prize.

I'm gave him his chance to see some long standing positive effects for the middle class.
What I got is the same god damn adage that the SuperRich/Corporations do.

"Where is a major crisis is going to happen, there is profit to be made"

I don't expect anything positive with real meaning coming from Trump.
This is a weird take.

They met, they laid out their viewpoints, and apparently Trump and Putin thought they weren’t that far apart.

Zelensky is flying in on Monday to be told to take it or leave it, and they’ll meet later to either figure out a peace deal, or figure out other areas of cooperation in case Lil Z refuses to play ball.

I don’t know exactly what you expected. A 15 point peace deal negotiated in a few hours?
 
Libertarianism rests on the naive assumption that everyone else is a morally upstanding person.

Violent thugs, scammers, and sex criminals aren't so a libertarian society would fall victim to them. It's like refusing to lock your doors at night despite living in the ghetto, because society should be peaceful. Just because things "should be good" doesn't mean they will be good.
The other systems rest on the assumption that the government is a morally upstanding person.
 
Do you think that every single Palestinian, Christian or Muslim, old, young, or newborn, bears a responsibility for October 7th that warrants their death?

Would you not concede that thousands, if not tens of thousands of people killed in Gaza, had literally nothing at all to do with Hamas or the attack?
There is no such thing as an innocent muslim. Anyone who follows the words of an illiterate child rapist deserves to be shot in the face.
 
I saw the footage of the streets of Gaza in the immediate aftermath.
You saw what the pro-war media wanted you to see, dumbass. I bet you still think Iraq had something to do with it.
Nigger I know what I saw with my own eyes 20+ years ago
Well I guess if that's your standard of proof it explains why you're a retard.
I get it you have a liberal hateboner for FOX NEWS
You think I'm a libshit when I'm on record as a far right, white separatist ethnonationalist? Interesting. It's like you can't conceive of a right-winger who doesn't support jews massacring Muslims in Israel because it inevitably leads to those Muslims fleeing to Europe. Must really suck to have such a shortage of vision.

the misa caucus (I think that's the group) people aren't hateable lolbert faggots, they have a lot of decent guys like Dave smith. Still lolberts but not really the dicksucking faggot ones you want to just beat the fuck out of with a barb wire wrapped baseball bat. Aside from my disagreements with them about Israel/gaza, their hearts are in the right place.

Yeah the Mises caucus. That school of thought is the anarcho-capitalist wing of libertarianism. Oddly, and I think largely by the influence of Hans-Herman Hoppe, many of them have found a way to contort ancapism into the belief that we should strictly enforce a border, disregard democracy as a value, and sort of collectively discriminate against ideologies and people that would be contrary to our local interests. In my opinion there are heavy contradictions in that school of thought but it does at least allow them to be libertarian while also advocating for things that aren't just shooting ourselves in the foot like open borders.
