Trump MAGAthread VII

[Washington Resistance Army]

He'll be too old by then.

Trump's 70 years old. That didn't stop people.
Probably flew over since Trump doesn't act like any 70 yr old i've ever met

Bernie will be almost 80, iirc.

Way too old.

BERNIE 2020

He'll be too old by then.

Age is just a number.

[Valrifell]

Watch out world, here we come!

He's the President we needed, but not the one we deserved ;_;

Why do you Libertarians hate nice things?

Hey now, it's the normal liberals that hate nice things.

Anyone notice, and it isn't ENTIRELY the case, but a lot of the countries with the highest tax rates are also the ones typically rated the happiest citizens and best places to live? Like Iceland for example.

One thing worth noting there though, is Iceland is small. They have less than half a million people. It's a lot easier for them to take care of their people with minimal bureaucracy, and even then, I think they'd be okay if Papa Gov't wasn't there to do everything for them.

The USA has literally 100x more people than Iceland. You get one government meddling in the affairs of 325 million people, and it's gonna be chaos. So to me, what this suggests is that governing should be the responsibility of the lowest level of government that can handle it. So when it gets to the federal government, they're only handling things that state and local government cannot, such as national defense.

And also, taxation is theft. Had to be said

The lower the level of government, the easier it is to fall prey to corruption. A state legislator is cheaper to buy than a federal one, and a local elected official is even cheaper than that. My hometown is small and rural. Local government is amateur hour. No one knows what the hell they're doing. Political decisions are based on whether a family member can profit off of it. For years our town supervisor was a tenth grade dropout. They've built buildings backwards. The local newspaper is a partisan rag which runs full-page attack ads on private citizens, refuses to print letters to the editor that disagree with the editor, and only ever gets one side of every story. Their biggest failure was falling for a con artist real estate developer who doesn't have any money of his own and wants to use taxpayer dollars to build second homes.

I have absolutely no faith in local government.

Way too old.

Bernie would have been the oldest democratically elected leader in world history if he won.

Age doesn't matter.

Yeah it really kinda does matter.

Why do you Libertarians hate nice things?

They suffer but don't want to admit it, so they instead choose to share their suffering.

[Zanera]

People keep mistaking me for other people on here lately.

As long as you keep that flag, I'll never forget who you are.

You're the Little Mermaid, right?

You laugh, but we couldn't be the naval power we are now without the patronage of Neptune and a lil sugar from Mars.

No suffering here friendo. Don't project so much.

Warren? Warren would do almost as well as Bernie, according to polls.

Maybe Gabbard, since she was part of the Bernie bandwagon... but her progressive credentials are murkier than Warren's.

Wasn't there a poll showing Warren getting beat by Trump in the general?

Age doesn't matter.

It does if you need a leader to not have health or mental complications.

[Corrian]

Honestly I'd trust Bernie's health at 79 more then Trump's health at 74 (75?) next election.

See, proof^

You want to force your suffering and ideas onto us, which is rather anti-libertarian if you think about it...

Well we already got that with one that's 70, so I don't think we could do any worse.

By all means, elaborate on my supposed suffering.

Ooooo...packed news day.
North Korean missile launch was indeed an ICMB:

Ok, let's be serious: does anyone expect that once NK has a reliable ICBM, that they'll actually use it?
I say "No"

No. We have about a thousand more than them.

80 or 90 would be worse.

Hell, I trusted his health more than Clinton's.

In like, one poll. Others showed differently. But too soon to say. Bernie is still leagues more popular than her.

I have absolutely no faith in local government.

Meanwhile, at the federal level, if you have enough money, you can buy one guy and have power over the whole nation. This is why I have absolutely no faith in government at any level. Which is why I'm so vehemently against the idea that taxation should be looked at favorably. The government has the capacity to be a force for good that benefits its people. But then politicians get involved with all their corruption and hidden agendas, and suddenly, we've given all this power to these selfish SOB's who couldn't care less about the people they represent.

In short, you've basically outlined why I want the government to have far less power than they do and receive far less tax revenue than they currently do.
