Justin Amash Joins with Rashid Tliab to Call for Impeachment, Leftist Rulership of America
From PJMedia's Morning Briefing:
Here are my principal conclusions:
— Justin Amash (@justinamash) May 18, 2019
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.
Amash does not offer specifics. Barr's letter summarizing Mueller's conclusion was entirely accurate. Barr said the report concluded there was no collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the RUSSIANS. Barr said that Mueller did not make a decision about whether the president committed obstruction of justice. How is that misleading? Why would Barr lie about the report and then release it? None of these things makes sense. But you know what does make sense? That Amash wants to run for president as a libertarian. One more thing, J-Am, where are your libertarian principles regarding illegal surveillance on American citizens? On Illegal FISA warrants, national security letters, human intelligence assets being placed around a political campaign by the unelected political bureaucracy? The jack-booted fedgov strong-arming people to plead to process crimes? U cool with that bro, because TRUMP?
I'm absolutely amazed at the number of Libertarians siding with @justinamash for openly supporting the police state. Trump basically did the Presidential equivalent of saying "Am I being detained" and the civil libertarians are running to the defense of the state.
— Rob Eno (@Robeno) May 20, 2019
.@justinamash come find me in 1628 Longworth. I’ve got an impeachment investigation resolution you’re going to want to cosponsor. https://t.co/KabQTDn1Zq
— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) May 18, 2019
Princeton could use a man like Jim Lower. Never trust anyone whose method of defining himself, and of showing off his virtue, is by negative comparison to you. That's what libertarians are, that's what the liberal NeverTrumpers are. People often define themselves by that which they are not. But it's not good to make a political alliance with those who specifically signal that they are good and wise because they are not Deplorable You. Never trust them, never rely on them, because the very heart of their ego and self-regard is spurning you and despising you.
A Michigan state lawmaker on Monday announced he will mount a primary challenge to Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) after the congressman tweeted that he believed President Trump had committed impeachable offenses, according to the Detroit Free Press.
State Rep. Jim Lower (R) said he would challenge Amash in the Republican primary for his western Michigan seat rather than seek a third term in the state legislature. Lower said he had been planning to run before Amash's remarks but fast-tracked his announcement after the tweets this weekend despite originally planning to make it closer to July 4.

What would be courageous is a Dem bucking his/her own party, because they have those folks on lock down.
Republican smearing his own party. Been there, done that, boring.
Now if say Ted Cruz said something similar (in whatever parallel universe), I would at least be more willing to look into his issues. But then again, Cruz would actually have provided details.

Yep, that is my problem with what I understand about libertarian philosophy. I actually agree with a lot of what the say, but the fatal flaw that gets them off the rails IMO is not accounting for human nature, which leads to weird conclusions sometimes. I generally respect their philosophy quite a bit, but I find a lot of self-proclaimed libertarians to be ridiculous.

The party should demand that anyone calling for impeachment cite (a) a criminal statute the President allegedly violated, (b) the specific evidence for that crime.
If none of the above, they are to be deemed Ridiculous Assclown and motion to expel said member from their chamber should be initiated.

Short version.
Amash Imports (owned by the father, Attallah (Charles) Amash) owns Michigan Industrial Tools (run by the brother Jeff Amash), Amash Brothers Distributing, and Tekton Inc. (also run by Jeff Amash).
Tekton sells hand tools which it claims are US made but imports them from the Chinese firm Dynamic Source International which is co-owned by Congressman Justin Amash.

Do you have a right to determine who should be allowed in your own home? If you are doing okay financially, does that give every person worse off than you the right to enter your home undeterred and parade through your house, taking whatever they want? Do you have a personal obligation to do financially support every single poor person in your neighborhood?
And by the way, how generous are you in your personal life, anyway? How often do you actually help people in need?

"Never trust anyone whose method of defining himself, and of showing off his virtue, is by negative comparison to you. That's what libertarians are, that's what the liberal NeverTrumpers are."
For the left, white "cis" males are the one group that it's always okay to hate and it's always okay to just dump on. Ace, are you putting libertarians also in a permanent "okay to hate" category?
I consider myself a libertarian. (A small-l libertarian, not a Libertarian, because I'm not a member of the Libertarian Party.)
The people who love government sure love to dump on libertarians. It's not that fun to get it from people who should be my allies in addition to people who are my enemies.
I'm totally fine with dumping on Justin Amash and in particular I'm fine with calling him a "fake libertarian" if he won't even object to Stasi-like surveillance of US citizens. Maybe he says he's a libertarian but he doesn't seem to be a good one. He should go pound sand.
A libertarian is a person who believes that individual liberty is axiomatically good. A libertarian rejects tests like "does this right cause more trouble than it's worth", like the standard gun banners want to apply to the Second Amendment, or like the progressives want to apply to "hate speech" and thus apply to the First Amendment. And a libertarian, a real one, is firmly opposed to government spying on its own citizens under almost all circumstances (and "orange man bad" definitely does not excuse it).
Traditionally, libertarians have been more closely aligned with conservatives, because conservatives overall want the government to be smaller and do less. The traditional difference between a libertarian and a social conservative was that sometimes the social conservative approved of the use of government to enforce morality (for example, keeping marijuana illegal, or keeping prostitution illegal). libertarians don't favor government getting involved in "victimless crimes". (That's not to say we always approve of such activities; it means that we don't think government should be involved in regulating it.)
A modern conservative who might want the church to tell people not to do gay stuff but doesn't want the government to force people not to do gay stuff... that's pretty close to a libertarian, whatever that person may call himself/herself.
Because we have a winner-take-all system, I've been voting straight Republican for years, even though I'm a libertarian. I'm not going to stop just because people dump on libertarians, but I am going to ask you to just stop it. Just stop it.
By all means call out fake libertarians who can't even condemn Stasi-like tactics. By all means call out never-Trumpers of any political stripe. And please, keep up the snark and funny jibes against our political enemies.
But there's no need to just pick fights with libertarians, like me, who are natural allies of conservatives. Big tent, okay?

The problem with libertarianism - and the reason I come down on it - is that it's the right wing's answer to Marxism. Namely, a superficially appealing but laughably unworkable pseudo-intellectual prescription for utopia, which appellation is particularly apt, since "utopia" literally means "nowhere."

Surprise surprise, Justin Amash is one of those odd Palestinian "Christians" who likes to get whipped by the Muslims. See also Said, Edward
Posted by: Curmudgeon
OOOooohhhhh, this explains a lot.
I used to sympathize a lot with Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem, as they suffered endless abuse, killings and ethnic cleansing at the hands of their Muslim brethren. But then I learned that a majority of Palestinian Christians are just as anti-Semitic as their Islamist relatives. Very disappointing. Many of them would rather live under the thumb of Islam than be in a Jewish nation, so they side with the Muslims in trying to include Bethlehem and East Jerusalem in some planned Palestinian state.
I wouldn't be surprised if Amash is flying his ethnic flag here. Trump is as close as we've ever had to a Jewish president (two of the recent jew-killing mass-shooters left manifestos bashing Trump as a "Jew President"), so opposing him for that reason alone is sufficient for Amash.

The proctor though they could shame me into silence by asking the follow up question- Why? Why would you say that? I stated, "It's an obvious truth. China is a communist country and by definition they are enslaved. They have no liberty or freedom that isn't granted to them by the state. I can think of few things a human being would want more than that."

Morality certain has a part in law. It is a huge part of what defines a society and what a sensible society pursues. This is where even "l"inertarians are off the rails. They basically want no government and they almost always are against the idea of borders, which means that they reject the idea of the nation-state. This is crazy and reflects a political ideology that bears no relationship to reality. THis is the problem with libertarians. Anyone who is against the idea of the nation-state is not really the sort of political ally any reasonable conservative would want.
There is, of course, a huge difference between Libertarians and libertarians but the fact is that there are far more Libertarians (and they are basically leftists whose main concerns are smoking pot and other drugs) than libertarians and that they each have serious problems being taken seriously. THe Libertarians are just leftists and the libertarians are anti-nation-state people of the most frivolous sorts of political views.

They tend toward spouting off that the Right wants to implement THEOCRACY! as their bizarre and lame-assed justification for not wanting to be allies.
That's right before you get them to admit that the only thing they really care about is weed.

Dan Crenshaw seems to have a lot of spunk, and Tom Cotton ain't too bad neither."
Both are too warmongering. Crenshaw is okay but strikes me as at heart a standard donor-friendly Republican with an eyepatch: well-marketed boomer bait. I distrust him on vital conservative issues like sharply limiting _legal_ immigration, not just cracking down on illegal immigration. I worry that Crenshaw is a variation of the same "look, a vet!" hustle that the Dems used to sneak libs into a bunch of suburban moderate seats in '18. Crenshaw's service is hugely impressive at a personal level... but (as we've learned through painful experience) that can't make up for not being a nationalist.
Cotton is smarter and better. He is nationalist on a number of issues. I distrust him on foreign policy but am open to being persuaded to support him on other grounds.
The best potential successor to Trump (so far) is Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri. Go to Youtube and listen to his inaugural Senate speech from last week, it's dynamite. Hawley is focused on the cultural and political interests of working Americans, especially in the red states, and is willing to use legitimate government authority against the enemies of that base and of everyone reading this comments thread -- especially Big Tech.
Hawley is ahead of every other Republican on the tech regulation issue (sadly, including President Trump). This is not only a crucial policy issue on its own merits, it is also a good proxy for whether a Republican "gets it" overall in the present period of sharpening class conflict, institutional decline, and accelerating social revolution.

Sure, almost all of them were focused on pot, but a lot were also focused on taxes (calling ALL of it theft universally). But I also think most of those people are out of the party or are becoming out numbered by leftists these days.

A good comment from Insty's by 'Montgomery Draxel'...
Amash
just loves China, it's a real libertarian paradise. You can pay workers
pennies, dump chemicals directly in the ocean, and not just fire anyone
for any reason - you can have them killed. He brags that we send them
money for cheaply made trinkets while we shell out massive amounts of
welfare benefits to all the people displaced and unemployed via
offshoring.
I wonder if he would like to debate about the eventual
costs the US and other nations will have to clean up the ocean from
China's complete lack of regulation? Think of it as Adam Smith's
invisible cancer.
Libertarianism is political autism and Amash is one of its final bosses.

Morality certain has a part in law. It is a huge part of what defines a society and what a sensible society pursues. This is where even "l"inertarians are off the rails. They basically want no government
Some libertarians literally want no government. They often call themselves "anarcho-capitalists" (sometimes "ancaps" for short).
My own natural conservative tendencies say that we shouldn't be the first people to try running a whole country under the ancap ideas... and those ideas have literally never been tried in the history of the world. Government would have no army or navy, but people would pay insurance companies "anti-invasion insurance" and those companies would have their own armed forces? Are ancaps kidding? (Spoiler: they aren't kidding.)
As a libertarian who believes in a small government, I can point to a country that tried the ideas I want to see implemented. It is the USA, in its early days. The Federal government was small and did little. No income tax, no welfare or other entitlements. It worked, really well, for a long time.
And I'm not an idiot, so as long as there are any government handouts at all I want controls on immigration. I'm not 100% on board with the idea of unlimited free immigration, but I don't spend much time thinking about it because our country is so far from being a libertarian small-government country. And unless we get magical Utopian medical technology that makes all of us immune to all diseases, it's trivially obvious that we want control over who comes into the country to keep out people with horrible contagious diseases.
But my standards are that for any law or any government program I would think "am I willing to send people to prison for breaking this?" I'm totally willing to send people to prison for treason or not paying their share of the national defense; I'm not willing to send people to prison for "victimless crimes" like smoking marijuana. I'm willing to send people to prison for not paying their taxes, but that means I'm not willing to spend taxes on things like art (and definitely not on "art" like a photo of a crucifix in a jar of urine).

It's members of the Party of McCain talking any shit that riles me up.
I don't care about weed or running your life. I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated.
Raised the kids Catholic. I realize the Church is run by men and men are fucked up. I like rules as guidelines. I also think Gov could stop right now with new laws and we would be fine. Instead we will get another thousand this year.
I also don't like most people. I consider this the most stable site on the net. Still jerks here, me included.

One thing I learned: there were two Russian outfits who created fake online personas, and were successful in provoking some sucker rallies. I didn't see any extensive evidence that the info the fakers posted was false, or any more phony and ginned-up than our own "legitimate, domestic" political info is.
Another thing I learned: these Russian outfits primarily wanted to defeat Hillary, not elect Trump, as evidenced by their support for Bernie.
Here's something I know without reading any damn report: The widespread presence of false info, no matter what the source, does not invalidate our elections. All of our elections take place in a miasma of lies and disinformation from all parties, domestic and foreign, and always have. There's no way to prevent it, and if there was, the cure would be worse than the disease. So what the Russians did, as outlined in the report, strikes me as small potatoes, and the 2016 election results cannot be assailed on that basis.
