It's been a long crazy week, with Trump tweeting that he's stopping all immigration (he didn't but it's still not good) to Trump pondering how to get UV light and bleach inside the body to kill COVID (don't do that!) to Congress passing another relief bill (because $2T only buys you a few weeks)

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/03/23

The Fed shot it last shot by dropping interests rates to 0%, the Dow still plummeted, states are starting to institute lockdowns, Biden widened his lead over Bernie and Bernie still isn't dropping out, and we might have a few Senators who decided tending toothier stock portfolio was more important than being honest with the American public about COVD-19 Welcome to libertarian hell

Biden's Super Tuesday, What Happens Next, Trump's...

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/03/09

To say Biden had a super Super Tuesday is an understatement but this race is far from over. We said goodbye to Pete and Amy and Mike and Liz with varying amounts of drama and infighting On the 15th we will have a debate but someone will be conspicuously left out again....

Against The New Nationalism w/ Stephanie Slade

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/03/06

Seeing as I've been following this new nationalist movement since it got it's introduction though that weird Carlson monologue from last January having a conversation with Slade (managing editor of Reason) seemed a no brainer Her April 2020 cover piece covers Lowry's new book and his new definition of nationalism, the flaws in their thesis, and what do these people even want Read her piece here - https://reason.com/2020/02/24/against-the-new-nationalism/ And subscribe to my Patreon -

The Democratic Debate Dumpster Fire Round Ten

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/02/28

Two primary debates in the span of one week. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. It some ways it was better than the last debate, in some ways it was worse, but I'm pretty sure its the last debate that will matter Subscribe to my Patreon for early access - https://www.patreon.com/jenmonroe

Nevada, Feeling The Bern, The Sock Account That Wasn't

Jen the Libertarian ·

2020/02/25

In a week where we had the most insane Dem debate yet we also had the Nevada caucus which featured some surprises that make me think my assessment of the debate may be more correct than I thought Not all is good though - it's beginning to look like we'll have a Candidate Sanders and let's just say certain people are freaking the hell out I also have a tale to tell about what happens when you fall for an internet rumor that happens to fit neatly into your confirmation bias Subscribe to my Patreon
