But I do appreciate this.....

That is a perfectly worded endorsement.

It echos what I've tried to convey in 68 pages of this thread. The man is a wordsmith. Seriously, read some of his books.

Rectify that. Read his books. Good stuff.

Well he is endorsing Hillary so I may pass.

I've said all along I think these two are both bad. Why endorse either if that's true? Just to prove a point? Trump wasn't my guy. And I don't particularly like the dude that much. But it also doesn't mean I will endorse his opponent who is as bad if not worse. This reeks somewhat of political theater from a guy who will get a lot of press and page clicks from it.

Never heard of him.

Who?

Doesn't matter. The fact that he endorsed hitlary should tell you all you need to know about his "conservatism"!

Seriously, did you read the endorsement?

Do you disagree with it? I know others in this thread do, but wouldn't think you would...

Nope.

"Hillary endorsement" is all many saw.

The thing is, Chad, you're very clear in what you're saying. And I think most of us agree with what you are saying. Hell, I'd vote you over these fucks. I'd vote for Kaos over Hillary and Trump. I'd vote for Gene Fucking Chizik over the nominations. I'd vote for a Bernie Sanders/Prowler ticket before Hillary. Seriously.

Trump aside, I really just loathe Hillary. I'd rather have neither and have had that stance the last 3 months. It's why I supported the others for the nomination.

I get what he's saying but still....

How it is possible that this country only has two god damn families to select from for president?

True.

Koch v. Soros sucks.

Jk...Soros doesn't have that much sway.

If the choice is binary, I'm voting for Hillary for exactly the reasons PJ said. She's awful and wrong about everything, but "within normal parameters", unlike Trump.

Fortunately, the choice is not binary, and I will likely be voting for Johnson.

Must admit that I'm surprised to learn that you're even binary.

Those voting for Trump should probably pay very, VERY close attention to what he says when talking about our debt. He wants to print the money to cover the debt. Stop & think about that for a second, think about what that would do to the value of our dollar. This is the kind of self proclaimed brilliant business man Trump is. In the earlier pages when I stated that you can't file bankruptcy for a Country to get out of the debt it owes, I didn't think Trump would be dumb enough to think it would be a good idea to just print the money.

Your guy is just as economically dumb. Why not raise the minimum wage to a BILLION dollars an hour?

That said, you are correct, this is monumentally stupid and potentially catastrophic...

I know it'll be discounted/dismissed, but even PJ Fucking O'Rourke is voting against Trump:

Reluctantly, conservative author @PJORourke endorses Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/MzEJXva7nM https://t.co/jli9uAZBVm

Enjoyed PJ's work in Halloween and Stripes.

Beyond that. Not a single fuck was given what PJ likes or doesn't like. Fuck PJ.

What do you think we do now?

The printed money IS the debt.

What do you think the Dems have been doing for the last 8 years? They print money and then borrow from ourselves.

I don't think he is serious. It's an attention getter and set-up for the dims and gop because they are both guilty of spending like drunken sailors. Watch how everyone pounces on it (reverse psychology is a beautiful thing). I just love watching the show.

Not saying it's right but I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it's exactly what he's doing.

Autr is right though. We (fed reserve orders the mint) print the money. And then we (U.S. Govt treasury) borrow it from ourselves (fed reserve). The fed reserve in itself issuing the printing of currency is illegal but who cares right? That was intended to be a U.S. Mint/ treasury role only with permission of the congress.
