1. Once you click through, you’ll see what I mean.

2. Oh, I am convinced. Great essay, Patterico. Finely reasoned.

3. I think that deep down Trump is okay. He’s only a problem when they let him out of the cellar.

6. I noted some Libertarians were rooting for Trump during the primaries. The old Blofeld maneuver where you help the other guys destroy each other then rule among the ruins. Clue: it never works.

   Richard Matheson wrote a story about that. “Born of Man and Woman“.

9. I was doing a take-off on a lawyer joke:
   — Why do they bury lawyers six feet under?
   — Because deep down they’re good guys.

    Oh, some still are. Some of these anarchists amaze me. They will cast literally every principle out the window except foreign policy, and then exercise zero critical thinking skills in evaluating the candidates’ foreign policy.

    Sample argument from anarchist: “Donald Trump, well, I’ll admit he’s not good on economic policy or domestic issues, but foreign policy is more important. And he has said some encouraging things about foreign policy. What’s that you say? He has also said [Patterico cites shooting at barrel-rolling Russian planes, praise for the Tiananmen Square massacre, worse than waterboarding, and killing terrorists’ families] what? what? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you with my fingers in my ears! Make America Great Again!”

    If you think I’m exaggerating, check out Walter Block or Lew Rockwell or any of the other anarchist crazies backing or quasi-backing Trump.

11. P.S. While I love the concept, I’m not 100% sure what “MAXIUMUM FREEDOM” means.

12. It’s found at 111th and Wentworth on Chicago’s South Side most any time of the day or night.

13. I am praying to God that the elite pos republicans try to unbind all of Trumps electoral votes. Burn the republican party and its leaders to ashes. Great shooters will be the only ones breathing. Ryan is in his last months of Fooking America.

16. There are two people in a room

    I hate both.

    One keeps getting in my face.

    I know, right?

    I mean, if there’s anything we Trumpers hate, it’s childishness.

20. #11 P.S. While I love the concept, I’m not 100% sure what “MAXIUMUM FREEDOM” means.

    it means I have to pay the bill after you fuck up your entire life by being a loser. Usually drugs or alcohol but it also could you are some Ho who craves d*** so often you have multiple baby daddies and the guys you pick are drugged up losers. Could also be some lazy, flea brain who did not bother to educate themselves who now needs “minimum wage” job for the rest of their lives and want me to pay more for their menial (though noble) work effort by making “minimum” like $3,989 per hour.

    Can we try instead of Maximum Freedom … Maximum Accountability and/ or Maximum Personal Responsibility?
