When we last saw The Hat, he was in a Russian prison. Let’s see how he got out of that jam!

    Are y’all gonna make me pay 25$ to comment? You know who is now doing so.

    • DenverJ

      Oh the first post was off topic. My apologies

      • R.J.

        Glibs doesn’t charge per comment! Madness!
        And what have you done with CPRM?

      • DenverJ

        You new guy. I had Bender avatar for long time before other new guy used.

    • Brochettaward

      I should be charging Glibertarians.com for my :Firsts. I’d imagine it’s driving like 98% of the traffic to this site.

      • Brochettaward

        I am the Messiah.

        Tell Swiss I expect my payments in Bitcoins.

    It’s been so long since I had a paid subscription. They must be having making trouble paying the rent.

    It will drive some of the lost commenters in this direction.

      My bad, it’s not the director. It’s an ATF gun expert.

        Clarkson voice: “Some say… He can tell the caliber of a gun by the size of the ring the barrel leaves on the tip of his penis.
        All we know is they call him The Expert!”

      • juris imprudent

        Classic. All they were missing was a negligent discharge.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I’m the only one trained to shout myself in the foot!

    Good to see the hat made it back home. He was framed! Did the hat carry out any double secret info? Was he debriefed by the intel community?

    Thanks CPRM

    Perhaps Hat had a fling with a sexy and mysterious ushanka who sounded like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle. She called him “dahlink” and told Hat to listen to Radio Moscow for further instructions. Unfortunately, Hat misunderstood “Volga Boatmen” as “Folgers Scrotum” and began frantically searching the bottom of coffee cans for any sign from his Russian paramour.

    To drag something over from the dead thread, because I like to beat a dead horse:

    Elections are never going to solve the problems, because we are getting the govt the people vote for. It’s the people that are the problem.

    Things will change when they must – because they can’t continue. Until then, it’s not going to change. I’ll be happy to check out before the day arrives that change must happen.

    It’s a situation where you have one hypothesis on our current state of affairs, and work your way backwards at all times to make every situation fit. It’s great that you’re blackpilled, Juris. Not everyone accepts your premise and people were posting about how they plan to vote LP.

    You came at me, putting words into my mouth about some super secret libertarian majority when my only point was that if the LP candidate is going to be worth anything, he needs to be able to spread actual libertarian ideas.

    When the inanity of your response was pointed out, you proceeded to twist your argument to some blackpill bullshit while pretending to be clever.

    But you do this routinely. You are Cicero in your own mind here to tuttut us anytime we don’t simply believe that we are getting the politics we deserve as a people because we’ve lost our way. Like if we dare suggest that the 2020 election wasn’t exactly the most secure election in history. It’s the same shit repackaged.

    • Derpetologist

      Politics is downstream from culture. The culture of the US is such that there are twice as many flat earthers as libertarian voters. And the flat earthers do a better job of recruiting new members. Ponder that on the tree of woe.

      As for myself, I oscillate between enjoy-the-decline apathy and being a lesser-of-2-evils Republican. There have been marginal victories to the libertarian cause because of Trump. I’ll take that over nothing.

      So this November, vote for me. I probably won’t be worse than whomever it is you don’t want to win. Abortions for some; miniature American flags for others.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Everyone gets miniature American abortions?

      • Brochettaward

        There’s definitely some people who deserve full on abortions.

        I can’t compromise on this. Derp does not get my vote.

      • Gustave Lytton

        “I’m proud to be an abortion because at least I know I’m free…” đŸŽ¶

    I’ve been accused of being pro-Putin in the past, but even I have to balk at the idea that he intentionally withdrew his troops from Kiev in the early stages of the war because it would set up further peace talks. Even if there was a draft of a peace deal agreed upon, it would be incredibly foolish/stupid/ignorant to pull back your forces and to reduce your own bargaining position.

    Before signing a peace deal, fighting is often intense and bitter as both sides hope to get as much territory as they can to improve their negotiating positions and to increase the chances of keeping said territory in a wars conclusion.

    I think big promises from the West definitely blew up a peace deal with Ukraine, but Russia’s military was humiliated and this is Putin’s attempt to cover for it.

    I keep hearing ‘voters disgust at a Trump/Biden rematch’ when in fact Trump has huge support from voters and Biden Luke warm at best. The disgust is not about Trump/Biden, the disgust is directed at Biden.
    What I find amazing is that a guy nobody would hire to pick up dogshit in their yard may cheat his way into a fair showing in the general election.

    • Brochettaward

      The disgust over Trump mostly comes from the left. They need an excuse for why the have to hold their noses and vote for a failure again. Mean tweets and insurrection.

      It’s bullshit because no matter who the D’s trot up, most of those people were going to hold their noses and vote D, anyway.

      • Rat on a train

        Yellow Dog Democrats are still a major component of the party.

    • Ted S.

      How did running with Trump help TEAM RED in the 2022 election?

    So….the perfect 40k parody doesn’t exist….or does it?

    • robodruid

      That’s funny

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Sean & U!

      • Gender Traitor

        So far, so good! Just took a moment to download the Explanation of Benefits from my med insurance provider related to my annual checkup. (No charge for me!) How about you?

      • UnCivilServant

        I bought a double-sized Brunch salad and don’t plan on leaving the house again until tomorrow.

        I don’t have any meetings on my calendar, and I’m technically in “wait for other people” mode at work.

      • Gender Traitor

        Woo hoo! So as far as you’re concerned, can those other people take their sweet time?

      • Sean

        🙂

    • UnCivilServant

      I save more by not giving them any money.

      • Fourscore

        Local Carhartt dealer remains totally unwoke.

        I’ll see him tomorrow and get my ration of 6″ stove pipe for the garage. The old pipe is getting a little flimsy, due to rust and wear.

      • R C Dean

        “The old pipe is getting a little flimsy, due to rust and wear.”

        Happens to all of us eventually.

    • Grumbletarian

      Yeah, have fun with that North Face. I could see REI doing the same thing. (In fact, ‘DEI for REI’ would probably be a catchy phrase if you were trying to appeal to smug preening leftists.)

    • Gender Traitor

      Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount, however.

      So they’re either discriminating against Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans or saying that there’s no “diversity” issues in those countries! Or they just don’t want our business that much.

      ::prays:: Please don’t let Duluth Trading start any of this nonsense!

      • juris imprudent

        No I’d say that North America isn’t eligible because that’s where 80 to 90% of sales are – they’re virtue signalling on the cheap.

      • Beau Knott

        Ding! Ding! Ding!

    Good Morning, Everybody!

    Ah, and a fine morning it is.

    Checked my social calendar, still blank, what could be better?

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, 4(20)! Hope Spring is on its way to you!

      • Fourscore

        It’s looking favorable. Stuck a spade in the ground in the garden a couple days ago, still frost after the top 6-8 inches. I’ll check again today. Ordered a few seeds yesterday. Another week or two I’ll start peppers in the house. Have some tiny apple trees growing from seed. Mrs F couldn’t wait, started her hot peppers already

      • juris imprudent

        Punxatawny Phil called for an early spring, and it seems he may be right this year.

      • Sean

        Mrs F couldn’t wait, started her hot peppers already

        Mine are off to a good start. Many already transplanted to larger pots.

  10. Beau Knott

    Mornin’ all!

    “There are more flat earthers than libertarians.”

    I wonder if that’s true.

    The difference between libertarianism and, uh, “shape-of-the-earth-ism” is that, in the letter case, you almost have to take a position on either disk or sphere. I don’t know if any arguments that say that the western hemisphere is flat, while the Easter hemisphere is ovoid, or whatever.

    With libertarianism, it can be believed by degrees. The most famous split is between economic libertarianism and social libertarianism. Some people are libertarians as long as it is anything that involves them personally, but they want full authoritarianism for everybody else.

    Real life can push people toward libertarianism more effectively than persuasive arguments. People don’t like being told what to do, unless there is a very good reason. They especially don’t like it if they are burdened with rules that some other group doesn’t have to follow.

    There is opportunity, I think.
