Is orange really the least aggressive color?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

It's the new black.

[josag]

======================

[Citizen X - #6]

I hope they answer this one.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

I for want to use this link to provide many much riches.

[Citizen X - #6]

Pretty soon, you will have bourt a new Citroen!

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

How many times did you vote for Hillary Clinton?

[Citizen X - #6]

You gettin' called out, son!

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

I was just trying to set up Matt for one of his favorite talking points. That's the ticket.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

answering all questions

This was a mistake.

(and fellow non-voter, Mangu)

[sarcasmic]

Fuck Facebook.

[Just Say'n]

I wonder what Nick is going to be wearing? Casual leather jacket or formal leather jacket?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

It's nice to see The Jacket wearing Gillespie.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

How often does The Jacket wash Gillespie?

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

When will #metoo come to Reason? Who has abused Robby? Who wants to abuse Shikha? Does Judge Nap have any questions for you?

[Pro Libertate]

I'd like Matt and Nick to exchange coats.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Then we won't know which is which.

[Just Say'n]

Hey, that's not fair. Matt wears glasses and makes sense

[Zeb]

And his face is very, very red.

[mad.casual]

Is that even possible? I thought it required an extreme sonic pulse to remove it from Nick and, even then, it just selects the next available host.

[Citizen X - #6]

At this point, The Jacket cannot be separated from what remains of the host by any known technological or magickal means.

[Citizen X - #6]

Do you like Terminator 2?

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Who is each person's favorite commenter? Least favorite?

[BestUsedCarSales]

The sad answer is that only Robby and Ron every actually read the comments.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

How quickly you betray the Shack.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Whoops. The real insult is I wrote Robby when I meant Scott.

[Citizen X - #6]

Robby does read the comments, and he's even quoted a particularly brilliant commenter on his Twitter (it was me. He quoted me.)

Eddie Kray and ENB are known to slum it in this virtual cesspool, and even Welch will pop in and say a thing from time to time.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Welch did come in once and shut down my dreams of him and Kennedy getting married.

[sarcasmic]

Wow Matt. Tell us how you really feel!

[Citizen X - #6]

I haven't seen Matt that fired up at a commenter since the last time GILMORE had Opinions about his outfit.

[sarcasmic]

What does it take to get one of those coffee mugs?

[Pro Libertate]

Assuming for a second that we could restore a society that would accept the Constitution, what changes would you make to the document to correct the flaws that got us to our current mess?

[Citizen X - #6]

That's easy - add some variation on "SERIOUSLY, GUYS" at the end of every paragraph.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Put an explainer on the commerce clause.

[Pro Libertate]

The Annotated Constitution.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Remove the penumbra and emanations.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Term limits and sunset provisions.

[Pro Libertate]

Ostracism.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Tarring and feathering is an underrated practice that could make a comeback.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

It wouldn't be a libertarian Q&A without someone asking how to fix the Constitution.

[Tom Bombadil]

I just watched 3 minutes of the live stream, and that was 3 minutes too much. Good night.

[Timberati]

Is Matt's laptop held together with duct tape?

[Qsl]

What aspects of libertarianism do you disagree with?

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

*pops a vein trying to think of a real question*

What are you optimistic about for 2018? If anything...

*faints*

[BestUsedCarSales]

I asked one! See if you can figure out which one!

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

They haven't answered the important ones yet...

[Just Say'n]

The one that begins "Nick Sarwark asks..."

[Just Say'n]

The one that begins "Nick Sarwark asks..."

[BestUsedCarSales]

My real question didn't get asked :()

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Nick Gillespie: "I was wearing this jacket, I think..."

Seems unlikely.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

"I consider all of Bob Dylan's work to be a single album".

Why does this not surprise me?

[BestUsedCarSales]

Nick, you both mocked Matt for Pet Sounds and name dropped Roadhouse in a single segment. God bless you.

[Crusty Juggler]

"Liberty don't hurt."

-Nick Gillespie

[Crusty Juggler]

Fun fact: "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is the most libertarian song ever, because the song was obviously sung from the perspective of a white, libertarian male to his imaginary friend named Freedom.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Glad to see I got called out on this, and also that Nick mocked my God. Truly, we are all libertarians.

[Crusty Juggler]

What's up with Welch's purple tie?

[GILMORE?]

Purple tie is best tie.

[Fist of Etiquette]

It tests well with the ladies.

[Crusty Juggler]

False - navy pindot is the best tie. Poorly tied purple ties are garbage ties for garbage people.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

He was matching KatManguWa's hair and Nick's eye shadow.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

It's a little thing called style.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

"the Quick Bob Poole" was my nickname in Lamaze class.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip.

[Crusty Juggler]

Greatest living Reason commenter - Crusty Juggler, or the old guy who loves Dune?

[Citizen X - #6]

The preferred phrasing is "BEST COMM*NTER EVAH?"

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

BEST C*NT* EVER.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Wasn't there some libertarian support early on for top-two primary systems? If there wasn't, I apologize, but I'm glad to see people see it for what it was: A way to entrench the existing dominant party's control.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Sounds like someone SWAT'd the Reason offices.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Welch manspreads into KMW's personal space.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

It's called homesteading, holmes.

[Mongo]

Thank God that we moved from the shitty Skypecasts with the washed-out lighting, background bedroom wall, and Max Headroom glitching.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

KMW, I fear the US will get a break from its classical liberalism. Be careful what you aks for.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

If I donate a grand I can get lunch with Matt Welch? Hmm, checking the bank account now.

[Mongo]

I'd donate if the mounted deer head would talk and hurl insults.

"My rear end is in the adjoining office of Virginia Postrel."

[Fist of Etiquette]

Oh, Gillespie. Votes don't win elections. Contributions do. FOP endorsements do.

[Fist of Etiquette]

OMG. Now Gillespie is poo-pooing of privacy and transportation choice threats, and KMW is all for government databases!

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yeah, somewhat confused about that one.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Wait a minute, are all those Roy Moore accusers O'Keefe people???

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

All but one.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Objectivity is less subjective than fairness.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Then why am I not seeing any special effects in ReasonTV shows? Invest in Adobe After Effects, will you?

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

The interviews could use more 3d lighting and lens flares.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Hopefully after the showing of JL we can get Whedon to direct.

[Citizen X - #6]

You just want to see a bunch of close-up shots of KMW's feet.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Spoiler alert: KMW does not have hobbit feet.

[Eidde]

I wonder who was actually wondering about that?

[Eidde]

Hey, KMW just used an argument which would have been quite a zinger if she'd used it at the Jacobin debate.

[Eidde]

Huh-huh, butt Gorsuch.
