Well I'm not a free trade libertarian. We have our own AVA laws, so it'd be hypocritical for us to ignore the French equivalent. A French winemaker would never try and label their slop Pinot Noir 'Willamette Valley'.

Yes, but the original tweeter is a famous libertarian who is whining about tariffs because someone has to pay more to import a item that doesn't have a domestic alternative purely due to foreign protectionist laws that the US has agreed to enforce.

Especially because you would have companies copying American products that are popular like bourbon or Tennessee whisky

As a cheese enthusiast myself I am pro AVA/PDO laws myself, in a lot of cases they are less about weird overreach and more about protecting small artisans, craftsmen and industry. I think these traditions are worth preserving

Ultimately, every person, and especially every white person, should consider an attack on public lands to be a direct attack against themselves. If it means you have to wait for more deportations before housing gets a little cheaper, so be it. The wages of convenience is the future.

Deportation will not stop the Californian tide. Utah alongside the rest of the westward states are growing. Utah alone is set to gain an electoral seat come 2030. We must prepare for our future. Our legislature has passed numerous bills saying we want land to expand. Washington has finally listed to the people of Utah. Mike Lee just secured his future as a senator. Cope and sneed.

I'm reminded of that one woman being intentionally allowed to die because her fetus died and they refused to take it out cause "that would be an abortion and those are illegal." Think the plan there was to let her get really sick and then take it out at the last minute but she died faster than expected.

this is happening in Texas, it's more than one woman. not all the women die.


the justification being given by the hospitals is that performing a D&C on a nonviable pregnancy, which is the standard treatment and not an abortion, opens them up to potential criminal persecution

they're not necessarily wrong about that. but the part where I tend to agree with you that there is something disturbing happening is that most of these women are given abortifacient drugs and sent home, which under current Texas law is equally criminal.

they spent 4 years straight lecturing the world about american elections being super solid, asserting that the idea that one could be stolen is a dangerous conspiracy theory made up by orange man (who is bad) because he is a sore loser.
good look running the "stolen election" angle after that lol

This is a favorite progressive talking point but the truth is the majority and I mean 70+% of miscarriages and prenatal deaths in the U.S are black women that refuse to take prenatals or stop drinking and taking drugs during pregnancy.

If you remove shaniqua from the stats our non abortion babby death rate is extremely low.

The Ninth Circuit stayed the lower court's decision blocking Trump from federalizing the California National Guard:

The 9th really tried to side with California, but the attorney they sent to represent them was legit retarted and asked them not to consider old supreme court rulings on the matter becasue they are old. I think that argument spooked the 9th into giving Trump the win so the issue can be passed to the actual SC instead and the 9th can wash their hands of this shitshow.

A true libertarian would be in favor of a hypermassive country wide corporation (goverment) using its own privately funded military, security force, and so on to prevent other companies from importing things.

It's all part of the game right?

Yeah I realize that argument has no legs even rhetorically but I'm really tired of these motherfuckers who are only in support of libertarianism when it lets them fuck their fellow countrymen in the ass and seething when said countrymen use it to fuck them right back.
