Former Congressman Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party’s 2008 presidential nominee, and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party’s 2012 and 2016 presidential nominee, each reacted to the breach of the Capitol building today.
Bob Barr tweeted:
Whatever it was that the rioters at the U.S. Capitol were trying to accomplish today was seriously set back by the idiocy of their actions.

Gary Johnson tweeted:
Donald Trump accomplished many great things in office. He also served as a polarizing force for many of his detractors. The electorate has spoken and we need to join together as Americans united on the acceptance of a new President. Best wishes President-Elect @JoeBiden. 2/2

Donald Trump accomplished many things in office.
None of the great, few of them good.
Did not start any new wars
Negotiated peace between Israel and Arab nations
Improved relations with North Korea
Defeated ISIS
Secured the US-Mexico border
Signed Criminal Justice Reform
Nominated strict constructionist judges
Ended TPP
Ended NAFTA
Ended the individual mandate
Started the Space Force
Reduced taxes and regulations
Had the lowest unemployment rate (before COVID)
Oversaw successful Project Warp Speed
Enjoys a record high stock market
I wonder how many days it will take for this to post? Perhaps we should do a GoFundMe to buy this site and save it from irrelevance.
As of yesterday, the site has a new owner.
Contra the Trump-slavering William Saturn, Trump (in order of Saturn’s half-wrong to all-wrong claims):
1. Expanded US involvement in the Yemeni war;
2. Threw Palestinians even further under the bus than previous presidents while whoring even more after Zionism;
3. Got p’wned by Little Rocket Man;
4. Did NOT “defeat ISIS,” as it has been sputtering out of its own accord, and if he had, this wouldn’t square with “started no new wars,” not fully;
5. Did Kabuki theater on the US-Mexico border;
6. Signed mild criminal justice reform, while doing nothing major (like calling for changes in federal law on marijuana, on federal law of banking legit marijuana profits, etc)
7. Define “strict constitutionalist,” especially as the truly most overlooked amendment is the Ninth;
8. Was largely ignored by most other Pacific trade nations who eventually crafted the CPATPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_and_Progressive_Agreement_for_Trans-Pacific_Partnership
9. Put lipstick on a slightly revised NAFTA and gave it a new name;
10. Failed to get Congress to kill Obamacare or replace it;
11. The Space Force is a laugh, and good Greens and Libertarians both oppose further militarization;
12. Reduced taxes on the rich and MASSIVELY increased the deficit that Rethuglicans always worry about when they’re not in power;
13. Caused the unemployment rate to MASSIVELY spike due to his gross mismanagement of COVID;
14. Oversaw a semi-failed Warp Speed, as vaccine rollout has been horrible and Pfizer didn’t take Warp Speed money for its vaccine development;
15. Wall Street isn’t Main Street.
Seriously, Saturn, you know most of this. So, is this a petulant self-own since your Trump victory prediction failed?
And, please? You’re not the new site owner, are you?
