Dave Weigel: Unusually interesting scoop from Libertarian Convention - Trump's expected to say he'll commute Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht's life sentence, huge Libertarian demand here, really forced into convo by their pressure.

Mid-skeet I thought this was going to be about Silk, as in the partner of the late Diamond.

Same! 😆

It’s beyond insane how Trump’s candidacy has become a series of publicly stated bribes

i can't tell if this is a joke or not

It is real. CBS News reporting it.

ugh

I really want to see how Trump pronounces Ulbricht

Uhhhhh, the child sex trafficker guy?

Google is your friend

Where did you read that? This guy is a lot of things, but I’ve never heard that.

I mean, he ran a dark web marketplace that child predators traded CP on.

Do the Libertarians actually have a candidate this year?

Why would you think they would not? They have had a candidate every single presidential election since the 1970s.

The von Mises caucus seems to hold quite a bit of sway in the Party right now (or at the very least, the loudest megaphone) and they seem quite fond of Trump

However you did not answer the question as to why you think they would not.

Interesting to know. You aware that their philosophy is very closely related to marxism, but rejects labor theory of value, and embraces individual rights including property rights?

what do you think marxism is?

Marxist-Leninism as straight Marxism is no longer taught. Not interested is discussing

He could have done that while he was president for four years.

hey I got this reference!

ask him to talk about the gold standard in front of them dave!

This is a call for villains to unleash their minions, from drug dealer/porn bankers to murderous navy seals tried in a court. 100% the J6ers are in limbo so they & their networks are triggered to act violently.
