[ad lib to a Bernie Sanders pseudo-tweet suggesting vasectomies for 13-year-ole boys]
It's bad enough children get sentenced to public school reeducation camps
[A Cato Institute thread basically arguing Trump visa policies basically hurt foreign immigration]
I think every Cato Institute immigration thread attracts the xenophobes out of the woodwork. There are numerous other policies where Trump goes against legal immigration, like his opposition to the lottery for including opportunities from countries without existing economically illiterate quotas. Not to mention Trumpkin political whores like Cotton and Perdue have introduced legislation to halve the number of legal immigrants. https://reason.com/.../republican-senators-introduce.../

Price controls never work. You can't force businesses to offer below-cost rates to poor credit risks.
[Some Trumpkin politician got photographed showing his socks bearing a Trump image]
There's a lot to be said for stomping on Trump's face.
[A Pro-Libertarian thread posed questions on Alabama's new restrictive abortion law]
- Do you support punishing abortion doctors?
Yes, but I favor a nuanced approach based on context. Gosnell, for instance, should be severely sanctioned. For others, I would consider suspending a medical license.
- Should other states do the same?
Yes. Doctors who kill babies violate the terms of their medical license.
- Will this force SCOTUS to review Roe v Wade?
You would hope that SCOTUS would reinstate traditional police powers to the states. But I suspect that SCOTUS will be unwilling to overturn the Roe v Wade precedent without public consensus.
[Another abortion thread/]
The Constitution is based on recognition of the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property. Abortion is an abomination that denies due process to the preborn child.
[This is off a thread focusing on Cotton, maybe focusing on neo-con interventionist policies, say against Iran.]
I don't think there is a single GOP senator who pisses me off more than Cotton. He is also one of those Trumpkins wanting to cut legal immigration. Most of us pro-liberty folks also oppose economic sanctions as acts of war.
[This is off a thread on Cherokee Lizzie ranting against Fox News.]
I have to admit I have little patience with the Trump Propaganda Network, aka Fox News. One-sided pervasive pro-tariff and anti-immigrant coverage tries my patience.
My issue with Warren is this predictable "racist" charge and her trite objections which really haven't changed since Obama's notorious feud with Fox News. Not to mention it takes chutzpah for a leftist given the pervasive Russia collusion nonsense to talk about conspiracy kooks.
[A Pro-Life Libertarian thread which seems to feature a photo of Ron Paul, suggesting that government is exercising arbitrary policies in dealing with undocumented aliens]
I'm an open borders libertarian. You can't believe in constructs like open trade and free travel among states and at the same time accept Big ICE.

I have a couple of Native Americans (different tribes) in my paternal family tree. The first I heard about it is when my Mom said I inherited my high cheekbones from my Cherokee great-grandmother (I never met). But the preponderance of my ancestry is French-Canadian.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 12, 2019

Trump's alleged comprehensive immigration plan is dead on arrival. First, abandoning family-based immigration is immoral and inconsistent with the GOP social conservative base.

I oppose federal bailouts for farmers who suffer the consequences from Trump's unprovoked tariff war with China and relevant retaliatory tariffs.

Is Tyler Cowen correct? Do Trump's tariffs hurt the Chinese economy (as well as American consumers)? Yes. Chinese firms already operate on razor-thin margins and can't cut prices to defend market share. And the Chinese already face Asian competition.https://t.co/irTQfjtWQz— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 16, 2019
