Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/07/20

Things we learned this past week - root access to Twitter can be bought for an insanely low price, DHS can send CBP into Portland because they feel like it, and libertarians like to fight over dumb stuff (to be fair you probably already knew about that last one)

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/05/15

The Flynn Situation, The Biden Situation

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/05/08

So last week the country got to see a little glimpse into how LEO works via new info on the FBI's questioning of Flynn and the Biden sexual assault allegation becomes quite the quandary for the Believe All Women crowd (I recorded this before the news that Flynn's charges will be dropped so obviously more on that later)
