Justin Amash Drops Out of Presidential Race — 172 Comments

  2. And LP dies…. Couple this with their bullshit back and forth on the convention, they’re fucked. Looks like the only viable options this go around are the Constitution Party or the Greens.

  4. More seriously, his claimed reasoning sounds almost as specious as Jesse Ventura doing his own “politicus interruptus.” The fact that (duopoly based) political polarization is at an all time high? That COVID issues would complicate both a nomination bid, and an election run if he were nominated? These were all true three weeks ago, just like Jesse having to resign from RT (if true) was true when he floated his letter of interest.

    So, how poorly was Amash trending within the LP?

  5. Good riddance. Amash is not a libertarian.
    Chafee could always come back and give Sarwark and the LP the Republican retread they salivate over.

  7. It will interesting to see if Amash sticks around the Libertarian Party, and if he does, what he does.

  8. Jim Gray is sort of a Republican retread as a former Republican judge, but in all fairness to Gray, he has been in the Libertarian Party for 17 or 18 years now, which is a long time.

  11. That’s too bad. He would have been a good test to see if Maine’s RCV provides any traction for serious third party candidates.

  17. If the party nominates Jorgensen-Milnes AKA Reverse PLAS would that be acceptable?

  18. Justin Amash had the advantage of running for President as a sitting US House member. This would have made him more difficult to ignore. If he fails to keep getting reelected to Congress until 2024, he may not have that luxury again.

  19. He should have been either been all-in or all-out. This move makes him look indecisive. That being said, I am rooting for his re-election to the House. As for me, I am not in the LP but I will consider voting for the presidential candidate if it is Adam Kokesh and maybe if it is Jim Gray.

  20. Egyptian God,
    Interesting question.
    Maybe.
    Yes I think.
    It would certainly get activists thinking and change the dynamic.
    That ticket would then need to get into competition for the GP nomination.
    If they got the GP nomination, GREAT!
    But the question, could reverse PLAS work?
    I hadn’t thought much about it. I figured what WOULD work, then went from there.
    I figured COUNTER PLAS could work. i.e. if the Constitution party and LP formed a fusion ticket.
    But REVERSE PLAS? Hmmmmmm.
    Well it is kind of late in the game, but I think YES!
    The LP has the guaranteed full ballot access.
    So the Libertarian reverse PLAS fusion ticket would need to persuade voters, libertarian AND leftist/progressive, to vote for the Libertarian ticket.
    If the GP did nominate it i.e. dumped Howie, again GREAT! Not ideal but acceptable.
    So, my answer would be YES, that would be acceptable.
    AND it would not HAVE TO BE ME vp.
    It could be Darcy or Howie or any good leftist/progressive candidate,
    even another woman! IF the LP approved it.
    But that is not the ideal. An ALL WOMAN ticket. America might not be ready for that.
    I would vote for it!
    So my formulation is for the ideal. But less than ideal could be acceptable.
    BTW, did you read my comment on another thread a few days ago?
    I offered you Treasurer and/or Manager of my campaign.
    I still have over $5k available to it.
    Contact Jo and ask her!

  21. File with the FEC.
    Notify me; I will verify and authorize your filing as for my campaign.
    Then set up a campaign account with website and donations button.
    I will make the campaign contribution.
    But remember, this would be filing with the Feds!

  22. Socratic Gadfly,
    Yes, Justin Amash read the political tea leaves correctly.
    The duopoly is too difficult to break through. Even Teddy Roosevelt failed.
    And Amash is no Teddy Roosevelt.
    The political polarization is too great.
    Duverger’s Law is too powerful.
    EXCEPT for PLAS!
    And evidently Amash is clueless about it.
    But a good political tea leaf reader.

  24. How does the so called progressive libertarian alliance account for all the other genders except male and female? Like the United parliament it falls to be either progressive or libertarian by limiting itself to two genders and ignoring all the others
    . This top two tyranny must be toppled.

  26. A Hornberger/Supreme ticket sounds delicious. Would give the In-N-Out a serious run for their money.

  27. Maybe the Libertarian Party could run unpledged electors. If a state requires electors to be pledged to specific candidates, then maybe the party could name token candidates who would declare ahead of time that they release all of their electors from any pledges that they would be required to make. Can any state stop a candidates from releasing their electors from their pledges after they are chosen?

  29. I have GOT IT!

    The Milnes-DemoRep ticket, but with it unannounced who is No. 1 and who is No. 2. We lock the door behind them and let them fight that out.

  30. Milnes, you should take a chunk of that 5k to see if it will buy you a female running mate. Maybe she could be your treasurer and campaign manager too. Or you could split that money between her and Nathan Norman or whoever you recruit as your treasurer/manager. Good luck!

  31. How about SOME pressure on the LP convention folks about REAL reforms ??? —

    PR and APPV — pending Condorcet
    TOTSOP
    ——-
    The ***education*** actions of the top LP folks [and candidates – Prez to local libraries] about the TOTAL political R-O-T in the USA [esp minority rule legis gerrymanders and party hack execs/judics] are near ZERO —

    due to the many delusional utopian NOOOOOOO govt anarchists in the LP since 1970.

    Thus – the nonstop junior high skoool LP complaints about such and such govt schemes —

    when the ENTIRE system is rotted to its evil ststist core.

  32. Walter, That all depends on how the case in the Supreme Court goes. As it currently stands, states can force electors to vote for their bound candidate, even if that candidate dies after the election, or commits a felony, or even commits treason. Basically, anything that would disqualify the candidate for office.

  33. Well now I’m anybody but Hornberger which is funny since I’m an alternate delegate for NY because Hornberger’s campaign couldn’t find enough people (27) willing to support him and put my name down without my knowledge. Judge Jim Gray has my support but if he is eliminated I’ll vote for anyone over gatekeepers.

  34. I’ll have to think about. Before Corona I was going to work on my new album “Rocket Fuel” and should be able to resume soon. I think Moses Austwin would be willing to do the job. Moses.austwin@gmail.com

    If you’d like I could write a song for your campaign.

  35. I’d be willing to do it if you could get Sorinne Ardeleanu or Souraya Faas on board.

  36. Who is the troll “William Smith”? I would’ve assumed it was the cyberpig but I see “William Saturn” badmouthing Milnes and Nathan Norman on IPR at the same time using the same language. Maybe Milnes is right about Saturn and the cyberpig xaulie banali being the same person/entity. Mossad op?

  37. I’m leaning toward a Jorgensen/Hornberger ticket but given the fact that alternative parties are probably doomed to total insignificance this year maybe it’s time to bring in the clowns. Vermin Supreme with Vohra or Kokesh for veep.

  38. Perhaps Vermin Supreme and Dan “Taxation is Theft” Behrman… the Mad Hatters!

  39. I’m not a troll and William Smith is my real birth name. I haven’t badmouthed anyone and actually made a constructive suggestion.

  42. Was a Democrat all my life, union guy, 100% Democrat family. Never voted for a Republican before TRUMP now will never vote for a Democrat again. Build the wall, build it now, build it wide, build it tall. Stop giving away American jobs, bring them back to the USA. Drain the swamp in DC and lock up the DC swamp creatures that sold us out to China. ReOpen America NOW. RE ELECT TRUMP 100% 100% 100%

  44. I have received the certified mail receipts from court clerk US district court for Western PA, US attorney’s office and defense counsel law firm in San Diego in the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting case re: petition of Amicus Curiae.

  48. Why not Arvin Vohra? People from India are a fast growing segment of the US population and it would be most interesting to have someone from such a background as President of the United States.

  49. Vohra has shown too much of an affinity for the far right lately as has Kokesh.

  50. And Hornberger has the endorsement of the Mises Cucks and is “pro life” so that’s two strikes against him. Narcing to the FEC on Browne would be strike 3.

  51. “Zach” must be Paul, and the may be so for some of the other characters here.

  54. Very sad that Justin Amash and Lincoln Chafee both decided against running, and that Bill Weld jumped ship. At this point Judge Gray seems like the sane, sensible option. Larry Sharpe is a huge bonus to the ticket. We need respectable candidates, not wacko extremists and clowns.

  55. This year, kids, we’re voting Republican. Drain the swamp and build the wall.

  56. It’s OK if the kids vote for the duopoly just as long as the adults don’t.

  58. “Wallace” is another troll, maybe not Paul, but could be him, putting out different messages.

  60. I am a real person who people in these circles have met in person. Who are you?

    The writing style and talking points put forth by “Zach” sound like Paul, and we know Paul has already been caught trolling. I suspect he gets paid to do this.

  61. Hey Andy, not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. I don’t know who you are and I don’t know who Paul is but the way you keep carrying on about him I am guessing he was the kid who used to beat you up and take your lunch in grade school. You should get some therapy and get over that already.

  62. I’m not putting up any talking points Andy. I told you what I think. I couldn’t really care less if you are a real person or not. Do you have anything to say besides inane accusations of trolling? I’m not Paul, whoever he is. I don’t care who he is or who you are either.

  68. Nope. But he’s right about your psycho self. I don’t agree with his recommendation of Monds-Sharpe.

  72. Wow!
    Looks like about half the comments on this thread are by paulie using other names. Pushing hobo/clown Vermin throw away full LP ballot access according to Sir Richard Winger. And Trump, US Embassy illegally in Jerusalem and divert attention from Pittsburgh during IPR poll during a pandemic. Launched by Israel in China ongoing false flag operation while Israel steals most of the 3 TRILLION dollars of stimulus money by Congress signed by Trump ongoing operation!

  75. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
    It is NOT Netanyahu!
    That is NOT Mnuchin handing him a US Treasury check for 3 Trillion, yes with a “T”.

  76. What second will the dollar crash and burn — due to INSANE inflation of USA money supply and debt ???

    Esp when foreign folks demand cash and do NOT re-cycle USA debt — about 30-40 pct of such debt.
    ———
    How many troll/Putin/Xi fake names so far ???

    Amash knows about BAN ???

  78. Jim, 55% in the 6th round is, yes, pretty poorly. Not since Bob Barr did anyone have that much trouble getting the nomination. Or before Barr as far as I know. That’s close enough to make the actual outcome in doubt especially when you consider uncertainty over whether the July convention could choose a different ticket then the one chosen online this weekend.

  79. “Jim, 55% in the 6th round is, yes, pretty poorly. Not since Bob Barr did anyone have that much trouble getting the nomination. Or before Barr as far as I know. That’s close enough to make the actual outcome in doubt”

    Justin Amash would have stood a better chance of winning the LP nomination if he had gotten in the race earlier.

    “especially when you consider uncertainty over whether the July convention could choose a different ticket then the one chosen online this weekend.”

    It is probably a bad idea for the LP to switch presidential ticket candidates unless something really crazy happens. This could have a negative impact on ballot access as some states require the names of candidates on petitions and do not allow candidate substitution. Oh course, who knows what’s going to happen with ballot access with the Coronavirus lockdowns, and for that matter, who knows if this July 9th convention in Orlando won’t end up getting canceled.

    Crazy times we are living in now.

  80. This time Andy, I agree with you completely. I guess your not a troll after all, maybe only just paranoid. Not half as crazy as some commenters above such as Demo Rep, Robert Milnes or the people stumping for the LP to nominate Trump (assuming they are not you).

  82. Troll and anonymous are two different, albeit overlapping, categories. Many trolls choose to be anonymous, for obvious reasons. However, it is entirely possible to troll under your actual legal name. Likewise, there are many legitimate reasons to be anonymous which have nothing to do with trolling. I think maybe some here are perhaps mixing up those two concepts.

  83. Amash would be the LP’s strongest candidate. He could draw a good number of disaffected Republicans and Democrats. Unfortunately, he ran into opposition from the LP purists who would rather be “pure” and run a clown like Vermin Supreme rather than bend a little and grow a party.

    I wonder if Amash is thinking it might be better in 2024. The pro-Trump and anti-Trump camps might not be so locked in, with Trump unable to run again.

  84. 2024 would for sure be better. Parachute candidates have become too frequent in that party. Maybe people wanted a break. Running a republican every time is the real joke.

  85. I think Amash will stick with the party like Gary Johnson has done. I don’t see him becoming the 4th GOP backstabber (Weld, Barr, Ron Paul)

  86. $1,000 to Amash is nothing. I doubt he even bothers showing up to a convention. He did this for PR, nothing more.

    Gary Johnson has done nothing for the party, except water it down and still lose elections. Did he ever figure out what Aleppo is?

  87. How about a LP gossip page – ONLY for pre-skoool juveniles, morons, trolls, Putin/Xi agents, etc. — about 70 of above about 80 postings ???

    I mean, I guess it’s lucky Amash flirted, danced, and pulled out instead of starting a viable campaign that grew for months and then aborting it.

    Leading by example, I guess.”

  89. Trump is the most Libertarian President in the history of the world so there is no more any need for the Libertarian Party to run Presidential candidates Support NOTA at the convention call and support TRUMP for 4 more years then repeal 23rd Amendment and KEEP MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND GREATER THEN EVER and pray to JESUS no demoncrats socialist commie libtards ever destroy this country worse than Barakk HUSSEIN BORN IN AFRICA MUSLIM Obama! AMEN!

  91. Ashton Burrell: To quote Joe Biden, “Come on, man!” Two different newspapers in Hawaii anounced Barak Obamas’ birth at the time. And to quote John McCain when a lady said that Obama was a Muslim, “No ma’am! No ma’am!” Even if Obama was a Muslim, to quote Jerry Seinfeld, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”

    As for Making or Keeping America Great, it is not possible for a country to be great. No country on Earth has ever been great and no country on Earth will ever be great.

    Only individuals can be great and that greatness is completely subjective. For example you think President Trump is great and I think he is one of the worst Presidents the United States ever had.

  93. Zach,
    Ashton Burrell is probably paulie also. Pushing Trumptards.
    His job here is disinformation.
    So he is pushing Trump and Vermin.
    Pulling me and PLAS (down).
    I agree Andy is probably for real.
    Andy,
    Do you know if Vermin Love Supreme is jewish or not? What is his ethnicity, do you know?
    Not described in Wikipedia.

  94. Actually Vermin and I have a very uncomfortable-to me- lot of similarities.
    Andy Jacobs.
    If someone wrote a Wikipedia about me, it would be quite similar to Vermin.
    Except to me, I’m not playing politics. It is not art or performance art or satire to me.
    To me, politics is very serious, involving people’s lives and freedom and democracy-at least- in the world.
    So I put a LOT of thought into it.
    And I came up with PLAS. Then in trying to address Richard’s concerns about Top Two, Top Ten/Six.

  95. Vermin Supreme’s real name is Scott Taylor. I don’t think that’s a Jewish name.

  97. Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas do not seem to be jewish names either.
    The list is HUGE.
    Can you dig deeper?
    I am suspicious of Vermin.
    Kind of like I am suspicious of Howie.
    Since they seem to be the initial preferred choice of the powers that be
    right out of the gate this election cycle.
    Unfortunately, Nathan Norman DOES sound like a jewish name.
    So does Bernard.

  99. What difference does being Jewish make? Not all Jews think alike any more than all Italians think alike or all Baptists think alike.

  100. Archibald Alec Leach = Cary Grant.
    Note the “c” in the name Alec.
    Kind of like the c in Marc.
    Dr. Marc Feldman. 2016 LP potus nomination candidate.
    Who died under what I have called suspicious circumstances.
    And Marc Montoni, who runs the LP Radical Caucus along with paulie.
    Which banned me and fusion tickets.
    And Tom Knapp said in IPR that he prefers paulie to me!
    LOL! What a dupe.

  101. Consti Lib,
    Read my Amicus Curiae brief.
    The jews are historically unique, an anomaly, a product of the capitalist system and their relationship with the elites.
    They are toxic and have no homeland.
    So they schemed to get Palestine partitioned. They stole it.
    They are engaged in slow theft of the rest of Palestine.
    And slow genocide against the Palestinians.
    And even as we speak they are stealing much if not most of the 3 trillion covid 19 stimulus funds.
    If I am elected President, there will be no Shabra and Shatila on my watch.

  103. I haven’t seen any spam. But there has been a bunch of posts from crazy people and some that’s probably just trolling. You know, the normal crap. Pretty much any message board has its share. My “welcome” here was somebody I never heard of insisting I’m someone else I never heard of. Luckily this is not my first rodeo so I really don’t care who thinks what or who I am. Nor do I care who they think or want me to think they are either.

  106. I’ll say what I believe on here. You have all the information about me that’s any of your business. What you choose to believe or not believe, I don’t care. I also don’t care who you are either.

  107. Hahahahaha. Cyberpig always thinking about eating. Milnes addresses “spam eater” and “zach” responds. Hmmm… I wonder why? Lmfao.

  108. He addressed me right after. Looks like that message from him got erased. That’s why.

  111. Maybe try an on topic comment, not who you think is who? I don’t know any of you people so I couldn’t care less who you are or who you think I am. You are quickly becoming boring with this stuff.

  112. Sarwark says on FB the real reason Amash dropped out is because the LP won’t do an all online convention for everything this weekend.

  113. So now “zach” is friends with Sarwark on FB. Lol. Reminds me of a few weeks ago when the cyberpig used the wrong email and his photo came up on a troll account he created.

  114. What makes you think I’m friends with Sarwark? It was posted in a public group.

  115. “Egyptian God on May 19, 2020 at 12:10 pm said:

    LOL! I must have missed that. Can you or somebody else post the link to that thread? Thanks.

    This has got to be Paul. He used to follow Avens O’Brien’s blog and/or Facebook, and one time on IPR he posted this Avens O’Brien comment that had nothing to do with politics as an article, and it turned into a mini-controversy when I brought up that the article was off topic, because it had nothing to do with politics, and he justified it by saying that Avens was a former Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, which I thought was a weak justification. I then brought up that there had been some bigger news stories that I had suggested get posted as articles (this was before I became an IPR writer), such as the Free and Equal Colorado Gubernatorial Debate, and former LP presidential candidate having released a book, did not get posted as article, yet an online comment that had nothing to do with politics from form LP State Vice Chairwoman did get posted as an article. Interesting, Avens herself ended up weighing in on the debate, and she actually agreed with me, and she said she was surprised that anyone posted these comments, which had nothing to do with politics, as if it was a newsworthy political story.

  118. “and former LP presidential candidate having released a book,”

    Should read, “and former LP presidential candidate, Michael Badnarik, having released a new book,”

  120. “Andy,
    Yes, I saw it a couple of times. Recently.”

    Saw what? Do you mean Paul posting that quote above from Avens O’Brien, or posting other comments from Avens O’Brien?

  121. Yeah he seems to have a thing for her. I’ll have to go back and find that comment where he outed himself. It was hilarious.

  125. “Here it is https://ballot-access.org/2020/04/24/green-party-national-convention-will-be-virtual/#comment-765479 ”

    LOL!!!

    Why would somebody keep coming back doing the same thing over and over again after they have been outed? Do they really believe that anyone out there is dumb enough to think it is not them, and they think by coming back after being outed that they are casting doubt on being outed, or what?

    Why would somebody do this? Would the person have to be getting paid to do this, or is this just mental illness and boredom, or what?

    I think getting paid to do it would be a solid motive.

  128. “Jeff on May 19, 2020 at 3:44 pm said:
    You can post as anyone you want if you know their email address.”

    I suspect this is a cover, since we have basically already caught him multiple times in other ways.

  129. Personally I think that was Egyptian Andy trying to make you think he was someone else. But maybe it wasn’t.

  130. Pretty sure it’s you Egyptian Andy. You’ve already been posting as Paul at IPR to troll since you have been banned. So why not do the same thing here.

  131. “Egyptian God on May 19, 2020 at 3:42 pm said:
    I think it’s just boredom but you know him better than us.”

    I am suspecting something more sinister. A lot of weird stuff has happened over the years, and some of it would be too sophisticated for one person on a home computer, or with a laptop, to pull off. Definitely some fishy things going on in these political circles.

  132. “Tony on May 19, 2020 at 3:46 pm said:

    Nice smoke screen to try to shake people off the trail.

  133. Yeah sure. The conversation Egyptian Andy is having with himself is pretty funny though.

  134. No Egyptian Andy, your smokescreen is not really all that nice. It’s really just lame and stupid. If you haven’t noticed you and Robert Milnes are the only ones chasing your own tails on this.

  135. Who are “Tony”, “Mike”, and “Pete”? Notice how all of these different names pop up that none of us regulars here know, and they always seem to know a lot more than a real actual new poster would know, and nobody knows who they are, and then they disappear, and then a new name pops up, and the pattern repeats itself over and over again?

  140. Mere about 120 junk posts by the now usual suspect IDIOTS / Morons / trolls / Putin/Xi agents —

    raving about each other’s JUNK posts.

    On to the next JUNK wave attack by such usual suspects.

  141. Yeah, but so what? There’s no way to know how many names you are using besides Andy and Egyptian God.

  142. It’s mostly probably just Andy AKA Egyptian God. He is clearly a Putin agent. Whenever he posts as himself or even any of his usual handles it’s usually Putin talking points.

  144. Andy,
    I thought you and paulie were buds.
    Petitioning together a lot.
    Even sharing motel rooms and wifi etc Maybe even boozem buds.
    So what is going on here and now?
    And I agree some strange stuff is going on.
    Like the “death” of Dr. Marc Feldman.

  146. I thought so too, but I guess he is another backstabber. Seems to be too many of those in these political circles.

  149. Andy and Egyptian God,
    Are you two capable of filing with the FEC in my behalf?
    Create website with donations button? Movement host/account?
    Notify me. I will authorize and verify.
    Make donation to campaign.
    It will then be funded. You will be salaried. As long as it lasts.
    So hopefully it will get traction.
    Start with advertisements and media and free media and social media coverage.

  150. Everyone,
    Messing with people who already have paranoia complexes is not cool, please remember that before engaging with some commenters

  151. I have a Twitter account but do not know how to use it.
    I have a Facebook account but again I am not good at it.
    Contact Darcy Richardson, Jo Jorgensen and Tom Knapp.
    And Kris Lesiak.
    And William S. Saturn/paulie?
    Sounds interesting and fun to me.
    You should be paying ME!

  156. Of course he’s Paulie. Everyone is Paulie. Except maybe you, and I’m not too sure about that.

  157. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard at the nonsense posted here. This is gold Jerry! Gold!

  158. “Andy on May 20, 2020 at 1:51 am said:
    Yes.”

    “Andy on May 20, 2020 at 1:54 am said:
    How about a purple heart?”

    These two posts were NOT from me.

  159. I’m not Andy, I’m Randy, son of Gandy. Just like my pa I like brandy and candy and went to Vandy. My grampa was Grandy. I got two gals named Sandy and Mandy who think I’m dandy. I call them S&M and keep them handy. Some fools don’t like my rebel flag and call me Klandy. But that’s just ’cause they don’t understand me.

  160. Who said they were from you Andy? Are you the only Andy in the world? There’s like at least a few hundred thousand of us, maybe a million or more. There’s even one earlier in the thread named Andrew. He may or may not be you but he’s definitely not me.

  161. Andy and E.G.,
    Decide who wants the Treasurer position.
    File with FEC. Put your real name and contact info on file.
    Then post the file # here. I will finish the filing by verifying you as Treasurer and me as candidate.
    We can go from there. OK?

  163. Richard,
    Evidently paulie is not content to ban me, Andy and Egyptian God from IPR.
    He is now evidently bullying us here, on YOUR website.
    I request you verify this and ban him from the privilege of commenting here.
    It is ironic that the present IPR lead story is the 12th anniversary of IPR, “fighting the duopoly”
    PLAS and Top Ten/Six are the definitive strategies to fight-and win-against the duopoly. aka Duverger’s Law.
    paulie’s relentless persecution of me and PLAS and being banned from IPR may very well be instrumental with it’s lack of traction and my campaign, in the third party movement all these years.
    Further, it was wrong to ban me. And Andy and E.G. from IPR.
    I personally usually mostly agreed with Andy’s comments and found him very experienced and informed.
    Particularly with the specifics of petitioning and the LP and libertarianism.
    E.G. aka Nathan Norman is kind of up front with human sexuality which I find a bit put off, and he also is up front about his racial pride, which I have no problem with ANYONE’s racial pride. But he has his rights to his beliefs.
    Would you be so kind as to consider my request? which I do not make lightly.

  165. 50 state ballot access plus DC is DEAD for the LP. Bank it!!!

  166. Why do you think so? Richard Winger thinks the LP may still get it, I thought?

  167. The LP does still have a chance to get ballot access in all 50 states plus DC. The LP is only lacking 14 states, and the highest petition signature requirement is Maryland, at 10,000 valid signatures. Some of the state’s the LP is missing have really low requirements, like New Jersey, which is 800, Tennessee, which is 275, Iowa, which is 1,500, and Rhode Island, which is 1,000. Those last figures are for presidential candidates only.

  168. Yes,
    I believe Richard did say LP full ballot access is still possible, here in BAN comments recently.
    This sounds like the real Andy saying likewise.
    Why would somebody-name withheld upon request?-paulie? so otherwise here?
    A concerted effort to sabotage the LP full ballot access. In one way or another. To block Top Ten/Six Plus PLAS.
    Either fail to get full ballot access or hand it over to an absurd guaranteed loser hobo clown ticket.
    Vermin Supreme/Spike Cohen.
    Who in Hell is Spike Cohen?
    I have never heard of him? Has anyone?
    Cohen is a very common jewish last name, though.
    Now, if Vermin is jewish, you have a jewish ticket!

  169. Here is something for your readers, Richard.
    In September 2019 a jewish man, Jacob Schmoyer, 26, in Allentown, PA, committed murder/suicide by detonating a bomb in his car with his two year old son, Johnathan, and a man, neighbor David Halman, 66.
    The ATF held a press conference on October 4.
    Schmoyer had written and mailed 4 suicide letters.
    Extremely unusual for a jew to use a bomb like this.-Like an Arab terrorist.
    Now, Allentown is not very far from me.
    My house is very vulnerable to a car bomb.
    I have recently fortified my fence with 4x4x8 posts. But still.
    Am I paranoid by wondering about this?

  171. Here is another true story for your readers, Richard.
    I was transferred from FCI Butner, NC to FCI Raybrook, NY in 1987.
    Butner was where my fool judge sent me. A showcase psychiatric federal prison facility.
    In about a year, my doctor told me he was discharging me.
    At Raybrook, which was the Olympic dormitories converted, it was quite liberal.
    Several inmates had radios. One day there was scuttlebutt from local radio that one of guards was arrested and accused of plotting to shoot an inmate in his sleep overnight. We all had a roommate we were locked in overnight.
    His wife turned him in as she didn’t want her husband to be a cold blooded killer.
    Well of course there was rampant speculation about who the target was.
    But time went by and I did not hear anything further.
    It kind of just went away, like nothing happened.
