"Who needs you to pollute the public debate with diversions and deceit?"

Representative Justin Amash has stepped down from the House Freedom Caucus. Ace of Spades reacts.

The reason I call him a "fake libertarian" is that this alleged "libertarian" has no problems whatsoever with the unprecedented use of spies and surveillance against a rival presidential campaign, all based on rumors and frankly made-up claims pushed by the Hillary Clinton campaign, gathered by a foreign spy from (supposedly) Kremlin -- RUSSIAN!-- contacts.

We've never seen such an invasive, aggressive, anti-democratic, illegal effort to derail a presidential campaign and rig a presidential election before, all based on a "dossier" so flimsy and absurd that it's possible that the perpetrators may face jail time.

And yet the fake "libertarians" and "conservatarians" approve of these police state gestapo tactics while simultaneously clutching their pearls that this Trump character might be some kind of... authoritarian.

It's all about immigration. They are open borders zealots but do not want to publicly admit this, so they confabulate reasons unrelated to immigration to claim that Trump is unfit for office.

They're liars and grifters and should be driven out of public office and frankly public life. If you cannot admit your actual political position -- what the fuck are you doing in politics? Who needs you to pollute the public debate with diversions and deceit?

"Selectively Principled"

Joshua Sharf writes in American Greatness,

Many Republicans and Trump supporters are furious right now with Representative Justin Amash. The Michigan congressman is the only Republican in either house of Congress to call for President Trump’s impeachment in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. The announcement simultaneously made him the most sought-after Republican for interviews, and gave cover for CNN and fellow-travelers to describe the impeachment drive as “bipartisan.”

Sharf then goes on to accuse Amash of being "selectively principled." Read more here.

How many people do we MAGA people have who can be as courageous and articulate as this woman in Michigan who confronts Justin Amash about his support of impeachment of President Trump? Not enough!
