With Thomas Massie being booted, is there anyone good left in Congress, besides perhaps Senator Rand Paul? (also from Kentucky) Why was Massie targeted for removal? For being right on the issues: > "His opposition to military aid packages for Ukraine, criticism of Israeli military operations in Gaza, resistance to expanded Middle Eastern intervention, and demands concerning the full release of Epstein-related documents placed him in direct conflict with powerful institutional interests extending beyond ordinary party politics." -[The Plot To Oust Thomas Massie](

If I were the Iranian leadership I'd be demanding that the United States also give up it's nukes, if it's demanding that Iran do so. Reciprocity. How is it fair for the demand to only be one-sided? The US is arguably more dangerous with nuclear weapons given how many they have and the fact that they're the only country to have ever used them, twice. Giving up your nukes is like giving up your right to bear arms, on a national scale. Look at what happened to Libya when they gave up their weapons program.

Just because a thing can be done doesn't mean it should be done (but probably means it will be done). Just because a thing is possible doesn't mean that it is wise or expedient.

There's two ways to get others to do things, through force or persuasion. Here the government of Northern Ireland is using force to prevent this preacher from persuading others. I know, some will say it's to prevent him from harassing others, but if he's not physically harming them, have they been harmed? Do you have a right to be protected from public condemnation for your actions? If so, then when about the preacher's rights to the same, when he's simply expressing his opinion? View quoted note →

That's why I don't get why Thomas Jefferson, one of the more #libertarian of the US founding fathers, was so in support of public education. But he also didn't have the experience with socialism that we do today. View quoted note →
