to secure potential voters

2018-01-24 23:27:43 UTC

of course, we know this, but the LEGAL immigration problem is as big

2018-01-24 23:27:54 UTC

we've gotta get both on our side

2018-01-24 23:28:57 UTC

If Trump can manage a deal where we get everything secured in Goodlatte and giving the Dreamers residency, I think that's best case scenario.

2018-01-24 23:29:25 UTC

I hope there's a way he can navigate this w/out giving a path to citizenship

2018-01-24 23:30:25 UTC

**NO AMNESTY**

2018-01-24 23:30:28 UTC

As for potential voters, after these midterms we should get rallies going for voter ID

2018-01-24 23:30:41 UTC

Also

2018-01-24 23:30:49 UTC

Trump's going after California with the Census

2018-01-24 23:30:58 UTC

by adding a citizenship question

2018-01-24 23:31:01 UTC

I've seen that, it's a good play.

2018-01-24 23:31:09 UTC

should cost the state 2 electoral votes and 2 reps

2018-01-24 23:32:13 UTC

I trust Trump as a negotiator, this play he's been making on the immigration deal has been masterful

2018-01-24 23:32:28 UTC

He knows how to play the game

2018-01-24 23:32:40 UTC

The Dems have no leverage, we have all of it

2018-01-24 23:33:02 UTC

wait

2018-01-24 23:33:33 UTC

its possible the Dems want the Dreamers deported so they can use pictures of them being rounded up to sway voters

2018-01-24 23:34:18 UTC

Well that's why Trump passed DACA to the legislature and didn't cut up the program and sent them all back

2018-01-24 23:34:47 UTC

Jesus I missed a lot apparently

2018-01-24 23:35:08 UTC

Yeah, it's been pretty turbulent

2018-01-24 23:35:48 UTC

Anyways, the GOP and Trump can make the excuse that the Dems fumbled the deal, that's why he passed it to them.

2018-01-24 23:36:03 UTC

SWITCH PARTIES ALREADY

2018-01-24 23:36:29 UTC

Oh yeah I was going to say that Manchin looks like he won't be running for Senate again this year

2018-01-24 23:36:41 UTC

That'd be good for us

2018-01-24 23:36:53 UTC

Who else can they even run

2018-01-24 23:37:03 UTC

Ehh I'm ambivalent

2018-01-24 23:37:15 UTC

It's now competing with Oklahoma for the reddest state in the union

2018-01-24 23:37:20 UTC

a democrat in WV is pretty rare really

2018-01-24 23:37:28 UTC

7 out of 10 voted for Trump there

2018-01-24 23:37:36 UTC

Post-2000, yes

2018-01-24 23:37:50 UTC

You've got to understand that it used to be a blue state

2018-01-24 23:38:04 UTC

Manchin isn't progressive by any means and he might have not voted blue all the time, but he still leaned quite Democratic. The only reason Manchin won was because he ran on coal

2018-01-24 23:38:26 UTC

so did every rural blue collar union area, but they're jumping ship

2018-01-24 23:38:46 UTC

He's not progressive, but people too often conflate the "blue dogs" as right wing, which isn't the case

2018-01-24 23:39:15 UTC

Manchin isn't voting for Trump's agenda any more than the worst Republican senators

2018-01-24 23:39:31 UTC

Most probably because Schumer's holding the reins tight, but the effect is the same

2018-01-24 23:39:42 UTC

Votes are what matter in legislature, that's it.

2018-01-24 23:39:58 UTC

And to be honest, Manchin is probably the only WV Democrat who could beat WV Republican. IDK about the progressive alternative, Paula Swearengin

2018-01-24 23:40:17 UTC

Most definitely, Manchin does well in the polls

2018-01-24 23:41:00 UTC

And it doesn't look like Swearengin isn't running on coal, since it is quite anti-progressive

2018-01-24 23:41:42 UTC

I think if someone like that ran in a state like WV they'd be completely finished

2018-01-24 23:42:29 UTC

Anyways, back to DACA

2018-01-24 23:42:50 UTC

Goodlatte or bust

2018-01-24 23:43:10 UTC

The Dems cannot put all of the blame for DACA failing on Trump

2018-01-24 23:43:23 UTC

He can easily argue this on a constitutional basis

2018-01-24 23:43:44 UTC

"I was willing to make a deal, but they didn't care enough!"

2018-01-24 23:44:23 UTC

If he came out in September and decided to end DACA and send ICE down immediately, then you could make that argument.

2018-01-24 23:45:11 UTC

I think this will end well for the Rs and for us 100%.

2018-01-24 23:46:33 UTC

If they capitulate, we get everything we want and the "dreamers" will screech at them, if they don't then they can't get their new voters and the "dreamers" will screech at them (this time surrounded by ICE).

2018-01-24 23:46:44 UTC

It's a catch-22 in the best way possible.

2018-01-24 23:46:57 UTC

win-win

2018-01-25 00:26:04 UTC

Hey

2018-01-25 01:07:14 UTC

I wonder if I should take a look at Chuck Schumer's home here in NYC and see if I can talk to the protestors

2018-01-25 01:07:23 UTC

it's a bit of a long trip away from me though

2018-01-25 02:17:06 UTC

new thread

2018-01-25 02:17:11 UTC

bump it every 10 minutes

2018-01-25 02:36:50 UTC

huh

2018-01-25 02:36:51 UTC

wow

2018-01-25 02:36:58 UTC

is that a legit news site?

2018-01-25 02:37:05 UTC

Sky News, yeah

2018-01-25 02:37:09 UTC

Murdoch owns it

2018-01-25 02:37:17 UTC

peaceful reunification?

2018-01-25 02:37:46 UTC

They're going to be the same team in the winter olympics so i'd assume so

2018-01-25 02:38:09 UTC

This is surprising, I never pictured that NK could be the ones leading the initiative

2018-01-25 02:38:32 UTC

I wonder if Trump will rise in approval from this

2018-01-25 02:39:05 UTC

Ever since the "I have a bigger nuclear button" line, they seem to have been pacified, opening conversation lines with the south, not really taunting the US.

2018-01-25 02:39:24 UTC

You bet it would, no amount of media shilling could change that.

2018-01-25 02:40:08 UTC

They can pull the "id's obama's egonomy" line when they're talking about the economic boom, but foreign policy as of J20 2017 is 100% Trump's responsibility.

2018-01-25 02:40:57 UTC

I have no clue how this was accomplished

2018-01-25 02:41:40 UTC

Maybe a backchannel deal w/ the Chinese/Americans in exchange for him living comfy

2018-01-25 02:42:34 UTC

But if something this monumental is accomplished, it would be a major deal, we could pull our troops out of East Asia, and the only existential threat to the US would be completely neutralized.

2018-01-25 02:43:26 UTC

We could stop needing to give aid to SK and Japan, and reallocate those resources back to the US.

2018-01-25 02:43:41 UTC

Politically it's useful, and practically, it's even better.

2018-01-25 02:43:51 UTC

I just hope they're legitimate.

2018-01-25 02:47:40 UTC

Anyone there?

2018-01-25 02:49:06 UTC

I'm here

2018-01-25 02:49:17 UTC

We should bump the thread

2018-01-25 03:08:17 UTC

someone bump the thread

2018-01-25 03:19:50 UTC

YouTube is retarded

2018-01-25 03:25:28 UTC

2018-01-25 04:05:13 UTC

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

2018-01-25 04:05:21 UTC

I REMEMBER MAKING A JOKE TROLL THREAD ABOUT THIS MONTHS AGO

2018-01-25 04:05:50 UTC

this guy lost to Dubya in the prime of his unpopularity

2018-01-25 04:06:00 UTC

this is the thread I made

2018-01-25 16:39:51 UTC

If Trump's proposed DACA legislation on Monday is garbage, my support is rescinded
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

2018-01-25 16:40:20 UTC

lol come the fuck on

2018-01-25 16:40:35 UTC

the Modus operandi seems to be to use it to fuck with the Democrats politically

2018-01-25 16:40:44 UTC

BTW are there lots of Hispanics in your area

2018-01-25 16:41:47 UTC

I'm part of the 4% White minority in an 75%+ Hispanic town

2018-01-25 16:42:09 UTC

wow

2018-01-25 16:42:18 UTC

what's the name of the place ?

2018-01-25 16:42:23 UTC

I'm guessing you're in Socal

2018-01-25 16:42:43 UTC

yep

2018-01-25 16:43:16 UTC

hell on Earth,

2018-01-25 16:43:25 UTC

I'd move away but us minorities have to stick together
