2018-11-05 18:48:46 UTC

I got that much. So I guess it's mostly going to be you objecting and him trying to overcome those objections?

2018-11-05 18:49:46 UTC

2018-11-05 18:49:47 UTC

question

2018-11-05 18:49:50 UTC

Well now theres only one thing we can do to prepare

2018-11-05 18:49:55 UTC

"should you judge someone based on the color of their skin?"

2018-11-05 18:50:06 UTC

Come up with a bingo for the interview

2018-11-05 18:50:14 UTC

that we can all mark as it goes on

2018-11-05 18:50:36 UTC

No.

<:NPC:500042527231967262>

2018-11-05 18:50:54 UTC

economy is great so policy arguments dont work

2018-11-05 18:51:00 UTC

Just need 24 npc responses

2018-11-05 18:51:01 UTC

Yeah

2018-11-05 18:51:17 UTC

if the economy is doing good its hard to argue policy and taxes when it works as intended

2018-11-05 18:53:20 UTC

Stock market's been rough. He'll probably bring that up.

2018-11-05 18:53:36 UTC

It looks like a correction from optimism and it's been mostly volatility.

2018-11-05 18:53:44 UTC

yeah lol ppl love taking credit when it works and deflecting when its shaky

2018-11-05 18:53:47 UTC

The fundamentals are very solid and unemployment is down.

2018-11-05 18:54:04 UTC

lol like if its shaky now its long enough after obama that they wont feel bad still claiming he set up trump real good

2018-11-05 18:54:07 UTC

unemployment is best it ever was from what i read

2018-11-05 18:54:20 UTC

Im betting the following things come up in no particular order
Mean Tweets
Press being the Enemy of the People
Revision of title 9 to be "anti trans"
Insulting key allies
Separating children from parents
Withdrawal from Paris Accords

2018-11-05 18:54:22 UTC

A lot of investors have been feeling the volatility though and a lot of other countries are having things go rough.

2018-11-05 18:54:38 UTC

and that its cuz trump that its not going so good now

2018-11-05 18:54:45 UTC

It's not as simple as only unemployment, but the situation is very strong for people getting jobs.

2018-11-05 18:55:02 UTC

There's concern that wage growth is going to start driving inflation soon.

2018-11-05 18:55:16 UTC

yeah even with a shaky market thats the best kidn of market for employees

2018-11-05 18:55:16 UTC

Which...would help fix income inequality as inflation degrades wealth.

2018-11-05 18:55:35 UTC

And if it's doing it via wage growth, that's very beneficial for employees.

2018-11-05 18:56:14 UTC

yeah i mean it really depends

2018-11-05 18:56:33 UTC

like the minimum wage here is gon go to 15ish in like half a year or a bit longer

2018-11-05 18:56:40 UTC

but im gonna be getting a raise soon to about that

2018-11-05 18:57:00 UTC

but because i dont work the full year ill still be in the lower tax bracket

2018-11-05 18:57:35 UTC

and with the minimal expenses i have cuz ive already invested so much in my lil side gig as a musician its gonna work in my favour quite well

2018-11-05 18:57:45 UTC

A Tax trap?

2018-11-05 18:57:46 UTC

yikes

2018-11-05 18:57:46 UTC

even once the minimum wage increases

2018-11-05 18:57:47 UTC

"Amati testified that her mental health had declined after she began taking hormones to transition from male to female."

2018-11-05 18:58:01 UTC

oof

2018-11-05 18:58:04 UTC

I mean, taht can happen

2018-11-05 18:58:13 UTC

Estrogen is a hell of a drug for your emotional range

2018-11-05 18:58:16 UTC

I'm not sure that's necessarily a cause and effect though.

2018-11-05 18:58:26 UTC

No one really understands how all this stuff works.

2018-11-05 18:58:30 UTC

many "men" just aren't prepared to what estrogen can do with regards to emotional stability compared to how they were before

2018-11-05 18:58:38 UTC

And it could be correlation.

2018-11-05 18:58:39 UTC

I've met many mTf people who report the same thing

2018-11-05 18:58:42 UTC

altho its gonna be meh cuz im also going to start training new employees once im back

2018-11-05 18:58:44 UTC

where suddenly things get to them way easier

2018-11-05 18:58:51 UTC

See being a womyn is hard, we're always on the brink of axe attacking

2018-11-05 18:58:57 UTC

๐Ÿ˜‰

2018-11-05 18:59:00 UTC

and the first is gonna be cool cuz its my lil brother n we work well to gether and get along

2018-11-05 18:59:03 UTC

well it's more like

2018-11-05 18:59:11 UTC

they're dealing with a different emotional base?

2018-11-05 18:59:19 UTC

and sometimes it's hard to get a grip on it

2018-11-05 18:59:21 UTC

I guess>

2018-11-05 18:59:32 UTC

but after the new ppl that are coming in are gonna be gettin the same pay as me and im gonna have to do half their jobs while i train and fix all the shti they fuck up

I'm having Virginia 2017 nightmares.

2018-11-05 19:00:57 UTC

This really cuts both ways.

2018-11-05 19:01:01 UTC

good thing my job is hella chill cuz the ppl i work with (including my boss) and my hours are hella flexible cuz my boss is a family friend and knows im a musician (i play at the staff parties) so as long as my scheduling is in orger i can get whenever i want off

2018-11-05 19:01:13 UTC

2018-11-05 19:01:15 UTC

2018-11-05 19:01:33 UTC

2018-11-05 19:24:24 UTC

How in the world can an election give people PTSD?

2018-11-05 19:25:18 UTC

It would be one thing if we elected a dictator into power or if the country was plunged into a civil war because of the election

2018-11-05 19:25:43 UTC

"See being a womyn is hard, we're always on the brink of axe attacking"

is this where the term axe wound came from.... jk

i have a sneaking suspicion that Beto is going to win in Texas. i think the fix is in.

2018-11-05 19:29:11 UTC

he's too important to the democrats to leave it up to voters.

Waited 2 hours in line for early voting today

2018-11-05 19:48:16 UTC

U vote R or what

2018-11-05 19:48:39 UTC

Federal for sure

2018-11-05 19:50:21 UTC

I think local politics is going to get a bit fucked up this year by straight ticket voters

2018-11-05 19:55:42 UTC

ya

2018-11-05 19:56:08 UTC

hi

2018-11-05 19:57:10 UTC

Hello

2018-11-05 19:57:51 UTC

@Timcast that article was terrifying.

2018-11-05 19:59:17 UTC

How do they know how many young people vote?

2018-11-05 19:59:32 UTC

Which article?

2018-11-05 19:59:59 UTC

Axe tranny?

2018-11-05 20:00:00 UTC

the woman who attacked two people with an axe

2018-11-05 20:00:21 UTC

dear goodness

2018-11-05 20:00:28 UTC

reeee

2018-11-05 20:00:31 UTC

she had every intent to kill those people

2018-11-05 20:00:39 UTC

What did le woman do

2018-11-05 20:01:00 UTC

can you scroll up to the article?

2018-11-05 20:01:00 UTC

Ya saw the video a while ago, very violent and gore

2018-11-05 20:01:05 UTC

@ExceptionalFeather They look at the age

2018-11-05 20:01:10 UTC

18-29 is the young vote

2018-11-05 20:01:12 UTC

O.O

2018-11-05 20:01:17 UTC

Generation Z and Millenials

2018-11-05 20:01:19 UTC

How is it recorded though

2018-11-05 20:01:26 UTC

Generation Z tend to be more to the right

2018-11-05 20:01:29 UTC

wdym?

2018-11-05 20:01:35 UTC

When they record ur vote they record ur age

2018-11-05 20:01:36 UTC

name

2018-11-05 20:01:36 UTC

etc

2018-11-05 20:02:04 UTC

Do all the polling places record who shows up with the age though?

2018-11-05 20:03:00 UTC

The media would have to gather the information, who keeps track of it and where does the media get it from

2018-11-05 20:03:21 UTC

Pretty sure most of em do

2018-11-05 20:03:30 UTC

Maybe rural towns don't

2018-11-05 20:03:40 UTC

Because lack of people working at polling sites

2018-11-05 20:04:49 UTC

Any working voting system should be able to tell who voted. It should not be able to tell how they voted (on an individual level) but you have to know who voted to guard against fraud. From there you just cross check with the registration records.

2018-11-05 20:05:07 UTC

The state government should be able to tell based on their records.

2018-11-05 20:06:08 UTC

So they keep a database then? Who rounds up all the data for a federal number?

2018-11-05 20:06:51 UTC

Probably the media. There's enough people who want all that data that it's probably been done many times over already and will be done even more in the future.

2018-11-05 20:07:10 UTC

You also could be seeing exit polls, which are just a journalist sitting outside the polling site asking people who they voted for.

2018-11-05 20:07:34 UTC

And since that's public and in the open you can do statics to try and extrapolate from there.

2018-11-05 20:08:00 UTC

But the state governments will have the actual early voting demographics already.

2018-11-05 20:10:05 UTC

I wonder if the guess that young people are on the left is just polls on campuses

2018-11-05 20:11:30 UTC

It'll be alot of things, polls on campuses, polls via phone, polls via social media, polls just standing on the street.

I have no doubt the general rule that it's 2-1 D-R is accurate.

2018-11-05 20:12:28 UTC

The young have basically always leaned left. the notion that Generation Z might lean conservative is so unprecedented that it makes me (and alot of other people) skeptical that may have been the one time statistical fluke or something.

2018-11-05 20:15:51 UTC

What is the percentage of economic migrants?

2018-11-05 20:15:57 UTC

100%

2018-11-05 20:16:31 UTC

Probably 80% to 90%. Legitimate asylum claims will be pretty low.

2018-11-05 20:16:38 UTC

^

2018-11-05 20:16:50 UTC

I think it was around 70-80 back at 4000 in the caravan

2018-11-05 20:17:03 UTC

I'm told the real goal is to intercept them and process the claims in Mexico. It gives more legal flexibility that way.

2018-11-05 20:17:09 UTC

look at all them womyn and children

2018-11-05 20:17:10 UTC

Haven't seen any updates for the 12k number

2018-11-05 20:17:20 UTC

It's probably similar.

2018-11-05 20:17:30 UTC

That was intentional on the medias part Exceptional.

2018-11-05 20:17:36 UTC

They shifted gears and focused on midterms.

2018-11-05 20:17:42 UTC

Leaving the caravan information on the backburner.

2018-11-05 20:17:49 UTC

I would imagine more of the new ones are economic migrants

2018-11-05 20:18:08 UTC

I am so disappointed in islam with pictures like that.

2018-11-05 20:18:21 UTC

wat

2018-11-05 20:18:27 UTC

Reason they are in large numbers... either they think they can get away with economic migrant claim like what happen in Europe or that they can force their way through the border through use of violence.

2018-11-05 20:18:37 UTC

They already shown they will use violence to achieve their goals.

2018-11-05 20:18:50 UTC

The caravan is already breaking laws what makes you think they will follow american laws ? <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

2018-11-05 20:18:54 UTC

Well how can you not see that and immediately be inspired to drive a Truck of Peace there to help out, and still call yourself a good Muslim?

2018-11-05 20:19:07 UTC

I know they will not follow our laws Contro.

2018-11-05 20:19:14 UTC

@JustTom truck of peace lel โœŒ๏ธ

2018-11-05 20:19:28 UTC

I am trying to gauge what they are planning on doing.

2018-11-05 20:19:29 UTC

people in Canada are calling them refugees ๐Ÿ˜‚

2018-11-05 20:19:30 UTC

They just want to to to Canada

2018-11-05 20:19:34 UTC

Lel

2018-11-05 20:19:41 UTC

Most definitely not refugees.

2018-11-05 20:19:45 UTC

They are just fleeing from bad jobs.

2018-11-05 20:19:47 UTC

RIP syetenatheism

2018-11-05 20:19:48 UTC

yeah

2018-11-05 20:19:48 UTC

Not violence.

2018-11-05 20:20:10 UTC

And a lot of people call em refugees

2018-11-05 20:20:17 UTC

word manipulation

2018-11-05 20:20:22 UTC

I did like how they turned down aid in Mexico though

2018-11-05 20:20:26 UTC

Some are refugees but just a small handful in comparison to the large number

2018-11-05 20:20:29 UTC

Really sells the desperation

2018-11-05 20:20:34 UTC

Lmao

2018-11-05 20:20:44 UTC

They dont want help from mexico

2018-11-05 20:20:46 UTC

China is playing a dangerous game.

2018-11-05 20:20:48 UTC

calling everyone coming in a 'refugee' is how we got migrant rape gangs in the EU. You don't want migrant rape gangs, do you?

2018-11-05 20:21:59 UTC

You can see interviews where most of them say they are coming here for economic opportunity, which means they should get in line for all the other people in the world that want to do the same.

2018-11-05 20:22:03 UTC

I rather take in legitimate asylum claims.

2018-11-05 20:22:11 UTC

People who truly need help.

2018-11-05 20:22:27 UTC

No line cutting

2018-11-05 20:22:32 UTC

yes, it's been abused for so long now... who's actually telling the truth

2018-11-05 20:22:57 UTC

Economic migrants? So come and be on welfare/get lots of help I'm assuming for the older ones

2018-11-05 20:23:27 UTC

Compassion isn't unlimited ... either is money

2018-11-05 20:23:33 UTC

Economic migration today is nothing like it was 20-30 years ago

2018-11-05 20:23:35 UTC

When my dad came

2018-11-05 20:23:41 UTC

People are too dependent on welfare now

2018-11-05 20:23:45 UTC

My patience has run thin already.

2018-11-05 20:23:55 UTC

I am tired of our kindness being abused.

2018-11-05 20:24:09 UTC

economic migrant just means the typical person coming here for oppurtunities

2018-11-05 20:24:22 UTC

They should wait in line like everyone else.

2018-11-05 20:24:28 UTC

Which there is a long line for

2018-11-05 20:24:35 UTC

Agreed Dusty

2018-11-05 20:24:44 UTC

What's stopping 40,00-50,000 people from coming for economic migration?

2018-11-05 20:24:48 UTC

40,000*

2018-11-05 20:24:54 UTC

China opposed the U.S. warshipโ€™s entry into the waters around the reefs, the Chinese Defense Ministry said in a statement Tuesday. Chinese officials confirmed it sent the Luoyang to drive the USS Decatur away and urged the U.S. to stop its โ€œprovocativeโ€ actions.

2018-11-05 20:24:56 UTC

just gonna get higher nd higher

2018-11-05 20:25:01 UTC

Lmao... Provocative actions.

2018-11-05 20:25:08 UTC

They sent a warship to chase off US vessel.

2018-11-05 20:25:19 UTC

As far as the chinese vs US warships go heres the displacement for each ship
USS Decatur - Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer Displacement: Light: approx. 6,752 tons - Full: approx. 8,886 tons
Chinese Type 052D Destroyer - Full load 7500 tons

2018-11-05 20:25:43 UTC

United States warships are battle tested. Chinese warships are not.

2018-11-05 20:25:50 UTC

They sent a smaller warship to chase away a larger one because of the optics associated with the situation

2018-11-05 20:26:01 UTC

Plus our navy outnumbers theirs by an crazy amount.

2018-11-05 20:26:06 UTC

You know, if it was 1 ship vs. 1 ship, I think China might have the balls to try something, but ah... even if they won any kind of skirmish on that level, I don't think China wants what it would cause.

2018-11-05 20:26:19 UTC

US cant fire on a smaller weaker ship without looking aggressive and it allows the chinese to do whatever they want, short of firing on the US

2018-11-05 20:26:31 UTC

We would decimate their navy in matter of weeks to be honest.

2018-11-05 20:26:35 UTC

If they tried.

2018-11-05 20:26:40 UTC

Then their islands they made would fall.

2018-11-05 20:26:44 UTC

Weeks. LOL

2018-11-05 20:26:45 UTC

We have a system in place for how many people we can let in for immigration including asylum seekers, why should someone get to cut the line if they are on this side of the hemisphere

2018-11-05 20:26:45 UTC

It's hard to say Dusty.

2018-11-05 20:26:57 UTC

Look at our aircraft carriers.

2018-11-05 20:27:06 UTC

Look at the number of fighter jets and bombers.

2018-11-05 20:27:10 UTC

Look at the number of subs.

2018-11-05 20:27:11 UTC

Local troop strength isn't as lopsided as people think. Particularly in local Chinese Waters.

2018-11-05 20:27:14 UTC

Look at the number of ships.

2018-11-05 20:27:24 UTC

Troops don't matter in the water.

2018-11-05 20:27:27 UTC

The chinese navy is very dangerous inbetween their coast and the Philippines

2018-11-05 20:27:38 UTC

Yes, but most of those boats and people are somewhere else.

2018-11-05 20:27:40 UTC

Theyll have the edge in ships, planes, and missiles they can lob at the area

2018-11-05 20:27:44 UTC

What are they going to do, stand on the shore and yell at us?

2018-11-05 20:27:56 UTC

Actually you underestimating the Navy.

2018-11-05 20:27:59 UTC

Lob missles. They do have very good anti-ship missiles.

2018-11-05 20:28:00 UTC

Diplomacy probably always the best option when dealing with Chinese shenanigans

2018-11-05 20:28:06 UTC

The number of planes, ships, and missiles we can lob at them easily.

2018-11-05 20:28:12 UTC

It's not about troop strength over there in the overall. It's about the fact that if China actually pushed a naval engagement, we can ping every ship they have, launch fighters, and blow every last one of their ships up within 24 hours. All it would take is someone giving the order.

2018-11-05 20:28:16 UTC

We have rapid deployment all around the world.

2018-11-05 20:28:24 UTC

It takes time to mobilize and concentrate your forces dude. By the time the US gain local numerical superiority, the UN would have made an ultimatum/armistice by then.

2018-11-05 20:28:28 UTC

No dusty, your patriotism is blinding you. The chinese have local force superority in a way the US cant hope to match.

2018-11-05 20:28:31 UTC

Make no mistake, in total war with all assets, it's probably in the US's advantage.

2018-11-05 20:28:47 UTC

But locally, in a short war. Or one in which the US is skittish.

2018-11-05 20:28:50 UTC

Now, if it actually became a land war... that'll take a lot more time to deal with.

2018-11-05 20:28:55 UTC

However, wars arent local anymore and in a global battle the US cant lose.

2018-11-05 20:28:57 UTC

It's not exactly the US's edge.

2018-11-05 20:29:13 UTC

I wouldn't say the Chinese win either. But it wouldn't be a blowout.

2018-11-05 20:29:22 UTC

Nobody wins a global war on that scale though

2018-11-05 20:29:37 UTC

99% of the US's military limitation is that we don't just go in and wreck up our enemies. It's because we're always playing the 'good guys', that we don't just bomb our enemy into the ground and be done with it.

2018-11-05 20:29:51 UTC

Basically we hold back every time we engage in warfare.

2018-11-05 20:29:52 UTC

Period.

2018-11-05 20:30:30 UTC

ehhh

2018-11-05 20:31:06 UTC

Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing, since it limits civilian casualties. But consider this: The last time the US didn't hold back, we had these two little bombs we dropped.

2018-11-05 20:31:19 UTC

Ask Japan about it.

2018-11-05 20:31:37 UTC

It also depends on how much President does without congress

2018-11-05 20:32:01 UTC

I wouldnt say dumping Agent Orange on rando rice farmers was 'holding back'. The main point should be whether US ground troops are allowed to occupy significant land area of enemy territories.

2018-11-05 20:32:15 UTC

And given how much our tech has improved since then, we could easily wipe out nearly any country on the planet without even going to nukes.
