But some "libertarians" are just right-wingers who want to smoke pot legally.

Those are the ones, no doubt, who invited all these Trump-slobberers to come and give pro-Trump speeches.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump plans to use an address Saturday night at the Libertarians' national convention to court a segment of mostly conservative voters that has often been skeptical of the former president, while trying to ensure that party activists aren't drawn to the campaign of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Libertarians will pick their White House nominee during the gathering in Washington that wraps up Sunday. Kennedy, who initially ran in the Democratic primary, addressed the convention Friday but has indicated he is not interested in being the Libertarian nominee.

Trump’s Secret Service detail wouldn’t allow the chickens into his speech. I guess they could be deadly weapons. They act more like Trump campaign security than Secret Service.



Secret Service agents are confiscating the rubber chickens the pro-RFK Jr super PAC handed out to attendees to disrupt Trump’s speech tonight at the Libertarian convention.
No lighters, no water bottles, no noisy chickens,” one agent yelled out to people in line.

When the Libertarians returned they kick the Magats out of the front row.

Such events would fit seamlessly into a Vonnegut novel, or a Terry Gilliam movie. Reality keeps jumping the shark so often, I don't know what to believe. I'm still hoping it's all some kind of sensory simulation by hyper-advanced progenitors to evaluate viability of certain socio-political practices and strategies on primitive societies.
