    Eggs cant go to a price that I would care about. However, this was a huge issue last year so lets make sure we keep on top of it.

    In reality, you like him from late in his career, when he shifted into a more traditional nationalist/paleo-conservative and away from actual libertarianism. Essentially, you like big government as long as it is directed at others.

    I think you're very confused. A true small government libertarian would not support Trump.

    While Trump is obviously not a libertarian, he's the best option any libertarian is likely to get in the oval office

    I'm not confused in the slightest. They ALL suck.

    Biden is no more to blame as Trump. Neither can or could control the bird flu outbreak hitting poultry farms. But MAGA placed all the blame on Biden and Trump promised to start lowering prices on day 1. Why hasn't Trump even addressed the egg price issue since taking office?

    So you dont have to watch.

    "What is the president going to do about egg prices shooting up?"

    Glad you asked.. its all Biden's fault! His FDA killed sick chickens. [No answer on what will be done]

    For someone who thinks Trump sucks, you sure like to defend him on this message board.

    I bet if you look, you won't be able to find a specific instance of me defending Trump.

    I found plenty of them. And you barely ever posted here before early November 2024. Something that happened around then got you really excited.

    No, you didn't. I can see how you would perceive them that way though.

    I used to post on THFSG a LOT. Like an unhealthy amount. But I increasingly didn't find much in common with conservatives or liberals, so I took a break. It's all just so stupid, and even more stupid than in the past with posters like Jo. Then there was the long, imposed "break" from GC when I got banned for bashing Mullen when he was hired, as all good Gators should have done.

    Regardless, I'm probably one of the few here with several years of Capitol Hill staffer experience under my belt, and that is why I'm a libertarian.

    (and please if you're someone that has worked on the hill and now say "ah I know that guy in the profile pic" please don't dox me. That wouldn't be very nice.)

    I was a member of the Libertarian party in the 1990s. I literally had to vow to uphold a free immigration stance as a member. Open borders was literally a plank in their platform.

    Economist and libertarian theorist Walter Block argues that restrictions on immigration are incompatible with libertarianism. In his view, state-enforced national boundaries are arbitrary and violently imposed, and so therefore can provide no justification for restricting the movement of immigrants or emigrants. In accordance with libertarian principles, Block holds that immigration must be permitted insofar as it does not imply aggression. Where there is a property owner willing to take in an immigrant, third parties have no grounds for complaint.

    Libertarian perspectives on immigration - Wikipedia.


    From the party's current platform

    3.4 Free Trade and Migration
    We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.

    it seems better than your understanding of Rothbard. You are greatly perverting his notion of PRIVATE property rights with your love of BIG GOV. I know you pub leftists love to hide behind faux Libertarianism.

    I'm not now nor have I ever been a big L libertarian, so I really don't care what their platform says.

    And if you really want to get into the weeds, I'd actually consider myself to be a minarchist.

    Oh please. I've seen your posts. You're a good little BIG GOV lover. But, but, the gov sez it's illegal, they whine....as they fall in line.
