Colleen, there isn’t any time to waste. Election Day is just around the corner, and President Trump and I need this nation’s top patriots to STEP UP when it matters most.

Odd strategy Republicans have with publicly complaining about how much money Dem candidates are getting. I guess it could trigger competitive donations but I donated again because it was a tangible sign it was making them nervous and having an impact.

This describes literally no self-described libertarian I've ever met in real life. The only thing I've ever heard them talk about is guns and taxes.

Well, that's not far from where I am. But I also haven't been calling myself a libertarian lately, because I realize that's what people hear when you say libertarian.

That said, I understand the comments up thread about youth. Someone who hasnt been following politics for more than a decade doesn't remember what it was like before Trump. There is a certain amount of healthy (?) idealism.

I have a hard time understanding how libertarians can support an authoritarian so antagonistic to the 1st amendment. It's the youth that don't realize just how jarring it is to have a President using the police to clear peaceful protestors from streets with year has, or ignore the Hatch Act, or make legal arguments that the President is above the law. It seems crazy to me.

David Perdue intentionally butchers the name of the first Black woman to be chosen as VP for a major party ticket because he is a racist coward who should not represent a single soul in the United States Senate.

I don't know if it will change the results but just insane to blunder so grossly. Wish this country was better.

“He was making an argument against the radical socialist agenda that she and her endorsed candidate Jon Ossoff are pushing,” he said.



radical socialist JON OSOFF, who seems to actually have just been genetically engineered to lose state elections.

Long a staunch Trump loyalist, Perdue earlier told the crowd that the president had been sent by God.

“This guy is providential. He didn’t happen by accident,” Perdue said. “How in the world in our political system could Donald J. Trump come on the scene in 2016 do what he did? Tell me. God’s watching.”

I haven't met you in real life, so you weren't in my libertarian pool. Trump is not compatible with libertarianism, which is why I think most libertarians are actually republicans who are trying to distance themselves. I know several reps who now refer to themselves as libertarians. They're not, but they say they are.

To me, calling it a blunder would imply that it was accidental. I don't believe that is the case.

As part of his campaign, Doug Collins is embarking on a "Trump Defender Statewide Tour" with Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs (Arizona), George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

I have in my mind's eye a combined attack ad for Ossoff and Warnock featuring slow motion footage of Collins, Loeffler, and Perdue with as much Trump paraphernalia visible as possible (flags, signs, and such, and the President himself if possible, and Pence, etc.) with Dido's "White Flag" playing over top of it, particularly the chorus:

"I will go down with this ship..."

Loeffler: "I'm more conservative than Atilla the Hun!"

"I won't put my hands up and surrender..."

Perdue: "Kamala? Kamala? Kamala-mala-mala!"

"There will be no white flag above my door..."

Perdue: "This guy is providential."

"I'm in love, and always will be..."

Perdue: "God is watching."


Vote Ossoff / Warnock on November 3rd for U.S. Senate

Let's go Lincoln Project. Talk to Dido about the rights.
