Your beloved president with his ne AG pick. Yeeehhh she definitely is going to go down on ATF. Maybe go down TO ATF.

[Junior314]

Have you ever considered that people tried but their candidate lost? Have you considered that the "ideal candidate" is unavailable or has no public exposure, leaving us the only choice of a write-in that will maybe get 10 - 20 other votes?

There is no "ideal" candidate.

Politics is all about compromises. As @Grendizer138 has pointed out several times Trump was the best option on a lot of big issues.

Complaining about his AG pick is fine. We are past the point of what ifs. It was Trump or Kamala. Who was the better choice?

 

[HARRYM]

The GOP ain't it. It's still populated by fossilized old men wearing their girdles and preening for screen time in an attempt to say something clever.

The GOP no longer exists. It's been taken over by Populism, Tea Party and MAGA.

To paraphrase Franklin, it's the MAGA Party if you can keep it.

Trump was the right pick for POTUS, but we're still allowed to critique his actions. In fact, if we didn't, who would hold him accountable to his campaign message that got him elected? That's where the confusion is. I see some people look at this as "all or nothing".

I agree.

It’s ok to criticize the pick.

But it’s dumb to pretend there was some candidate out there that would make picks that NES would unilaterally agree with.

 

[Rockrivr1]

I’m also not to thrilled with his pick, John Phelan, as Secretary of the Navy. To me those positions should have some military experience. Even if it was an enlisted person with a 4 year stint.

Not only are we “allowed” to criticize his actions, we should!

One of the things that’s unusual about Trump is he actually cares about public opinion and will change course accordingly. The best example is Mike Pompeo not being in the administration due to, I think, pressure from Trump supporters.

Occams razor says that the reason Trump is picking Fox News hosts and cable TV entertainers as cabinet is simply that that is the only skill he really values. He may be right, for modern politics in the Internet age, having someone who gives good sound bite may be the most important skill. But its going to have some serious consequences.

 

[Individualist]

Just because Trump won doesn’t mean we should let up on questioning politicians and pushing them for better 2A support. Bondi and other politicians will do what they must to remain in power or increase their power.

It is a fallacy to think that just because Republicans “won” the majority give a rats ass about 2A unless they continually see how their actions or inactions may affect their political future.

Continue to hold them accountable and support the lobbying organizations at the national and state levels to remind them about what their constituents want.

Because the "Experts" have done such a splendid job of wrecking the country?
I could walk into a Walmart in East Bumfack Mississippi and randomly pick people that would be better.

You spelled decorated veterans wrong

 

[general disorder]

I'm still estacit that Trump won and that the majority in Congress are Republicans. But make no mistake the GOP is not some misunderstood Jesus like figure that has our best interest at heart. The Republicans are not for us. There for themselves first and foremost. And Trump is extremely toxic at times. But with Trump and the Republicans I'll probably be happy with around 60 to 70 percent out of what we'll get out of them. That's about as good as its going to get and even at that, I think I'm being overly optimistic. But the alternative was and is far far worse and something needs a major change because we are not going in good direction as a country.

I don't think I ever want to go back to the GOP. Hell I'm sometimes not even happy with the libertarian party. But I'm pretty sure of one thing. I'm pretty sure I am just going to sit it out.

I changed my registration to Undeclared. The LP is also dead to me since the LNC decided to pimp themselves out as MAGA fundraisers. I'm not even sure what LPNH is these days, but it's damn sure not libertarian.

Yeah the LPNH backed Trump after Trump promised to put a libertarian in his cabinet and that pick turned out to be Kennedy who is about as libertarian as Bernie Sanders. Some times I just don't get the LPNH folks. They say some truly dumb sh*t.

Too funny.

We can agree on RFK Jr; it’s disappointing that Trump didn’t nominate someone like Corey DeAngelis. That said, if Trump pardons Ross Ulbricht then the LP has officially done more this election than the egocentric LP purists have, or will ever do, to advance liberty.

But by all means, keep getting 3% 0.4% of the vote.

Perhaps.....if the national Libertarian Party didn't nominate a Leftist Drag Queen who believes in allowing children to be exposed to Tranny Drag Shows the NH Party would have gone in a different direction....

There was only one candidate in 2020 and to see some not able to understand the seriousness of the situation this country faces and toss their votes away shows a fracture that MAGA may not be able to overcome.

 

[TLB]

Bill Weld running as a Libertarian in 2016 was "entertaining" to me as a small "l" libertarian that has always been unenrolled.

 

[drgrant]

Lol most political parties are terrible. The GOP happens to be the only one left that will seemingly tolerate non mainstreamers. The others seem to engage in hard internal campaigns to smoke out those they don't like.

 

[HARRYM]

Anyone who believes that nominating a Leftist former Democrat, who supports bringing children to Tranny shows, is gonna help defeat the Leftist threat America faces has a delusional detachment from reality that is beyond anything I can get my head around.

 

[Grendizer138]

Yuge.

 

[240Geezer]

FIFY

 

[KBCraig]

So: Trump, Kennedy, Gabbard, Vance... all former Democrats, all former left-leaning.

Do any of them support the bit you left out when you quoted the prior poster?

, who supports bringing children to Tranny shows,

The reality is quite a few "Democrats" have shifted to other parties including Libertarian due to being pushed out of the current Democratic party which is currently engaged in a purity spiral as it races further to the extreme side.

At the end of the day, for gun owners in gun ban states, and because of the current two party system in place, Trump was (for better or worse) the better choice if for nothing other than his past SCOTUS picks.

 

[Sparky123]

Still a thousand times better than what the alternative was. Guns are just not a priority for Trump. Never was. I have to believe (because what other choice is there) that he's looking more for someone who will go after the corruption with-in the deep state. Weather or not she works out is yet to be known. But yea doesn't bode well.

Economics and immigration are what put Trump back in the Whitehouse. Two dollars versus six dollars for a gallon of gas. If President Trump really cares about gun rights, then there is no excuse not to push to pass a national right-to-carry bill. Gun owners put Trump back in the Whitehouse, now it's payback time.

Chase left everything to the parents and kids. If you don't want to attend then don't. If you don't want your kid being part of it then don't. When it came to the transgender issue he said leave it to the doctors, parents and kids, not the school system. That right there is pure libertarianism. The 'leave me alone' ethic except applied equally to everyone. That's the world I want to live in, not left wing/right wing authoritarians.

By the way my favorite LP candidate was Harry Browne. He's the guy who made me the person I am today. He was a great motivational speaker.

Yeah, we’re long past that “leave me alone” point. Especially when it involves kids.

Do the child molesters get the same courtesy ?
Just leave me alone while I bend a child over .
These so called "parents" are feeding children to perverts .
There have always been "parents who abuse children.
Simply having kids does not give you the "right" to harm them.

That's not the same thing and it's illegal. You can do whatever you want as long as you're not harming another person, right? And if someone wants to make a life decision then who are you or I to decide.
