It's always good when anyone fights against the warmongering neocons/neolibs and their imperialist Cold War II agenda, but Trump is a charlatan with no ideology and can't truly fight them.

Well, it seems that both Rand Paul and Joe Arpaio have something in common ...
They are both willing to perform fellatio on the Orange Tangerine.

Trump may have no "principles", but this is good news.  It's one of the reasons I voted for Trump.

He has more of an ideology than Rand...

Rand is an attention seeker who would rather ally with America's enemies than to listen to our own intelligence agencies.

I'm sure this will work out just fine for Rand.  Trump is the most loyal guy there is, will go to bat for anyone.  The people he surrounds himself with have all been doing so well lately.

Rand probably thinks this guarantees he’ll pick up Trump’s base in 2020/2024, because of course he does

This entire Presidency is like all my dreams from 2013 coming true. A libertarian/nationalist party, basically UKIP without the sleaze....or less of it, at least.

I also like to bond with new friends over our mutual admiration for journalist-murdering, homophobic, imperialistic dictators Smiley

How is libertarianism and nationalism compatible in one? I mean I suppose you could pick and choose from both as you please (most voters do that to some extent with ideologies across the spectrum) but the ideas underpinning both are nearly diametrically opposed

Nah, there's one pretty big link. But call it out and the media will whine about you for doing so.

I subscribe to the ideologies of communitarianism, theocracy, isolationism, and f&*k-the-flag holders for specifically this reason.

Indeed. Better Paul than Graham/Bolton.
