Libertarians, socialists, cold war kids, theatre geeks, professional athletes, touring musicians, followers of Jesus or the Koran or buddha, LGBTQ - WE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM NOW - a thread.
The organizing principle of libertarianism is that government should not unecessarily intrude on our private lives.
So libertarians are natural allies of BLM, Mom's Demand, sane gun owners, and Jesus freaks. Why? Because the vast militarization of police stems from the fact that there are so many guns on the street ... and nobody wants that.
The organizing principle of Jesus devotees is that no person is a lesser soul than any other and that we should teach people to be better.
This dovetails perfectly with conservatism - if we reach everyone to be self reliant, while acknowledging that even the low born are children of God ... we can do some good.
I personally have been thrilled to recently see BOTH professional athletes and county music professionals speak out for justice and equality - we are all on the same team.
The Trump era is so unifying - unless we are a Trumpist (and we're not) EVERYTHING WE WANT boils down to all of us of every stripe voting that asshole out.

The more I think about this, the more it seems like a key to whole evil puzzle. Just at face value, it's a big deal that crypto/gambling interests have an incentive to make the election INTO A HORSE RACE.
And we have all been asking, WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE THE MEDIA TREATS THESE EXISTENTIAL ISSUES LIKE A HORSE RACE? And we didn't have a ready answer, But here's a possible answer: crypto/gaming interests are buying political media figures.
Now the possibility that someone was paying journalists to undermine democracy had certainly occurred to me, but it was hard to believe that everyone could be taking Putin money. But they could be taking gambling/crypto money.
Dear US Press, I know you are busy normalizing the completely radical, dangerous people at the RNC convention, but We The People have some goddamn questions, and y'all should investigate: A thread:
First, instead of droning about the shooter's motive, ASK HOW WE CAME TO A PLACE WHERE A 20 YO CAN POSSESS AN AR-15?
Second, let's have a REAL TALK about the injury suffered by Trump. Were there any? Y'all have apparently asked every no name Dem on the planet about Biden. Where is the curiosity about Trump?
Since I am on the topic of the national security implications of the capture of Justice Thomas and the Crow family, I thought I would take a peek into that case and the Crow family.
So Harlan Crow is a kingmaker in Texas. Senators go to his house to get sworn in; he owns a SCOTUS justice; he has his fingers in TX politics. Presumably a lot of this is bribery. BUT HIS BROTHER HAS AN EPSTEIN STYLE KOMPROMAT OPERATION. Let's examine that.
First, we know about this kompromat operation because two brave women and their lawyers filed a RICO case against Trammell Crow, Jr. and others for running a sex trafficking ring. The case was filed in CA, but later transferred to TX, where it is now.
So let's get this straight. Justice Thomas went to Russia, in secret, with Harlan Crow. The trip included a helicopter ride to a palace in St. Petersburg. It took place in 2003. This is the first known yacht trip. Let's examine the implications. A thread.
First, a rich american with a SCOTUS justice doesn't just show up unannounced and fly a helicopter into St. Petersburg. That shxt requires advanced notice and clearance AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL - so at minimum Putin and the Kremlin spy and kompromat operatives knew about this.
The Kremlin would also know that Thomas failed to disclose the trip on mandatory reports - so they knew in 2003 that Thomas could be bribed and was willing to lie to the US government. They knew in 2003 they had leverage over a SCOTUS justice.
The new Trump-Epatein docs make me wonder if Trump-Barr had an incentive to seize all the evidence at Epstein's properties then "tie up loose ends."
If Trump and Barr colluded to get rid of Epstein and his trove of kompromat, then CJ Roberts' new Presidential immunity case would expressly allow that. I wonder why?
Wouldn't it be weird if the MSM created a frenzy attacking Biden in order to distract from the possibility that Trump stole the kompromat and murdered Epstein?
