thanks

2018-02-01 23:55:04 UTC

you don't even have to care about the discussion, just make relevant posts that bump the thread

2018-02-01 23:55:18 UTC

the problem with just saying 'bump' is that it doesn't generate potential discussion

2018-02-02 00:09:42 UTC

can someone bump the thread again

2018-02-02 00:32:12 UTC

guys, if you want to see what a weak Democrat candidate looks like, see this ad

2018-02-02 00:45:17 UTC

That makes me think of how they keep invoking "The Emperor's New Clothes" when Trump only has plurality support.

2018-02-02 00:45:50 UTC

@Nuke what exactly do you mean by that

2018-02-02 00:48:45 UTC

what do you guys think of this ad

2018-02-02 00:48:51 UTC

you get to see young Dubya and young Jeb

2018-02-02 00:51:53 UTC

" Wow, 3 future presidents in a video.๏ปฟ "

2018-02-02 00:51:56 UTC

hahahahaha one of the comments

2018-02-02 01:18:25 UTC

McGovern claims in that ad that people are voting for Nixon because they're "expected" to do so.

2018-02-02 01:21:52 UTC

Democrats use the "Emperor's new clothes" metaphor to claim they're like some sort of resistance counterculture; in other words, they believe we're all deceiving ourselves, hallucinating because Trump is so amazingly popular, while they see the truth thanks to the MSM.

2018-02-02 01:22:08 UTC

ah

2018-02-02 01:22:19 UTC

It's like, Trump isn't even that popular, even if I wish he were.

2018-02-02 01:22:30 UTC

No one is forcing themselves to hallucinate to think Trump is good.

2018-02-02 01:22:40 UTC

exactly

2018-02-02 01:24:01 UTC

Humorously the story also may or may not leave open the possibility that those who aren't deceiving themselves may in fact be deceiving themselves.

2018-02-02 01:24:37 UTC

Because "only incompetents, morons, and inappropriately employed" see through the clothes.

2018-02-02 01:29:35 UTC

apparently there's something going on with the streams right now

2018-02-02 01:29:48 UTC

I wonder what's up

2018-02-02 01:31:25 UTC

I don't know.

2018-02-02 01:31:53 UTC

I wonder if it's just YouTube they're talking about, or if the TV channels are also taken down

2018-02-02 01:31:57 UTC

I don't watch TV so I wouldn't know

2018-02-02 01:32:11 UTC

"

ALL ARE DOWN

FOX ABC AND CSPAN ARE DOWN

FOX BENIS TRUMP'S FACEBOOK AND ABC ONLINE ARE DOWN"

2018-02-02 01:32:13 UTC

holy shit

2018-02-02 01:32:13 UTC

wait

2018-02-02 01:32:18 UTC

I don't have TV access right now

2018-02-02 01:32:22 UTC

@Nuke can you check???

2018-02-02 01:33:22 UTC

can anyone else here verify that TV channels are off-stream ?????????????

2018-02-02 01:35:23 UTC

same

2018-02-02 01:35:33 UTC

wtfffffffffff

2018-02-02 01:35:39 UTC

you know,

2018-02-02 01:35:47 UTC

if Trump was assassinated,

2018-02-02 01:35:56 UTC

the GOP would dominate in the midterms

2018-02-02 01:35:58 UTC

yeah

2018-02-02 01:36:05 UTC

but that doesn't mean as much as if Trump were still in charge

2018-02-02 01:36:06 UTC

win-win

2018-02-02 01:36:17 UTC

can we rely on Pence ?

2018-02-02 01:36:24 UTC

I believe so

2018-02-02 01:36:51 UTC

Pence is a lot more socially conservative, while Trump is more of a immigration hardliner

2018-02-02 01:41:13 UTC

the reason I got into all this was because of Trump, not for any of the GOP establishment fops

2018-02-02 03:54:21 UTC

Trump is crucial, he's gotta be alive

2018-02-02 03:54:54 UTC

Pence is a good guy, but I'm not in this for Pence.

2018-02-02 03:55:05 UTC

Yeah, I don't trust any of the others

2018-02-02 03:55:15 UTC

BTW can anyone make a new general right now

2018-02-02 03:55:24 UTC

I don't have access to a computer at the moment

2018-02-02 03:55:33 UTC

Feel free to make it the way you want it BTW

2018-02-02 03:55:38 UTC

Little late at the moment, don't you think

2018-02-02 03:55:58 UTC

One of these days I may manage the OP, I'll see if I have the free time

2018-02-02 03:56:34 UTC

some people might fuel the discussion on their own

2018-02-02 03:56:50 UTC

That's what I hope

2018-02-02 03:56:54 UTC

just post one and don't bother trying to maintain it if you're too busy

2018-02-02 03:57:20 UTC

What are the best hours to keep it up ? I say 5pm to 10pm

2018-02-02 03:57:21 UTC

Eventually I hope the discord'll have enough people from each state to manage individual discussion in each channel

2018-02-02 03:57:37 UTC

I'll see if I can't get it done earlier

2018-02-02 03:57:54 UTC

I hate to say it, but maybe we should advertise the Discord on le reddit

2018-02-02 03:57:59 UTC

haha

2018-02-02 03:58:02 UTC

and other right wing spaces

2018-02-02 03:58:31 UTC

red storm (GOP gain seats)
trickle (Democrats gain 0 to 10) <- you are here
swell (Democrats gain 11 to 24)
wave (Democrats gain 25 to 35)
flood (35 to 50)
tsunami (50+)

2018-02-02 03:58:58 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ create an equivalent for storm

2018-02-02 03:59:02 UTC

Like

2018-02-02 03:59:08 UTC

I don't know too much about that, I don't see too much eye to eye with those guys, but we'll see I think.

2018-02-02 03:59:15 UTC

Sparkle (Republicans gain 0 to 10)

2018-02-02 03:59:47 UTC

We can handle a trickle, certainly.

2018-02-02 04:00:20 UTC

Drizzle (Republicans gain 11 to 24)

2018-02-02 04:00:24 UTC

We want to be as far as possible to be safe

2018-02-02 04:00:44 UTC

Storm ( Republicans gain 25 to 35)

2018-02-02 04:01:04 UTC

new nate silver poll up, D+5 from all people

2018-02-02 04:01:09 UTC

C+ rating

2018-02-02 04:01:24 UTC

I think that one's leaned

2018-02-02 04:01:27 UTC

things change quickly, remember

2018-02-02 04:02:02 UTC

Hmm

2018-02-02 04:02:04 UTC

I think when dealing with polls registered voters are the way to go

2018-02-02 04:02:11 UTC

just a month ago, Dems had a +10 lead

2018-02-02 04:02:22 UTC

Torrent (35 to 50)

2018-02-02 04:02:30 UTC

Hurricane (50+)

2018-02-02 04:02:36 UTC

Red Tide

2018-02-02 04:02:40 UTC

Hold up a second, I have something on the methodology

2018-02-02 04:02:44 UTC

"The NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll was conducted online from Tuesday, January 30 through Thursday, February 1,
2018"

2018-02-02 04:02:48 UTC

>online

2018-02-02 04:03:39 UTC

If Trump got assassinated I would only really support Pence if he continued to be a hardliner on immigration.

2018-02-02 04:03:46 UTC

Yeah

2018-02-02 04:04:07 UTC

I for one would start lobbying for Donald J. Trump Jr. to be nominated VP ASAP.

2018-02-02 04:04:11 UTC

my litmus test is:
a) No amnesty
b) No more foreign wars

2018-02-02 04:04:40 UTC

Don Jr's busy with the company and being a madman on Twitter

2018-02-02 04:05:45 UTC

the GOP can maintain this momentum by crafting a popular infrastructure bill

2018-02-02 04:06:10 UTC

the thing is, infrastructure is a Democrat idea

2018-02-02 04:06:15 UTC

How would the Democrats play into that

2018-02-02 04:06:29 UTC

it'd help Trump, but Trump's not up for election

2018-02-02 04:06:31 UTC

i'm not sure what a Republican infrastructure legislation would look like

2018-02-02 04:07:28 UTC

idk, really it seems universal

2018-02-02 04:07:40 UTC

more roads, fixed buildings, the nine yards

2018-02-02 04:08:15 UTC

How do you think a rail line system in the US would work like they have in Europe or Japan?

2018-02-02 04:09:52 UTC

You pay a ticket price, you go from city to city, high speed.

2018-02-02 04:21:18 UTC

Infrastructure has always been a more Republican type of spending program.

2018-02-02 04:21:29 UTC

in what sense

2018-02-02 04:21:38 UTC

doesn't really seem too partisan to me imo

2018-02-02 04:21:58 UTC

The WPA and crap did nothing but build statues of naked people and crap, and FDR basically did nothing but minimum wage and welfare crap otherwise.

2018-02-02 04:22:11 UTC

Then Eisenhower came in and built the Interstate

2018-02-02 04:22:28 UTC

Then LBJ came in and passed more gibsmedats for the black voters

2018-02-02 04:23:17 UTC

you're missing the part when kennedy got his head plastered on his motorcade by LBJ et al

2018-02-02 04:23:44 UTC

Kennedy didn't do anything except tax cuts and Apollo.

2018-02-02 04:24:03 UTC

anyways, go on

2018-02-02 04:24:13 UTC

The gap between Republicans and Democrats on space tends to be that Republicans want to actually do shit in space, and Democrats want to play space cadet.

2018-02-02 04:24:42 UTC

right, we had SDI which was missile defense

2018-02-02 04:24:47 UTC

The Democrats went to the Moon with Apollo, took 2 steps, and went "wtf my feet are bouncing"

2018-02-02 04:24:51 UTC

And then went back home

2018-02-02 04:25:05 UTC

Bush on the other hand proposed a full colonization program with Constellation.

2018-02-02 04:25:09 UTC

wasn't that '69

2018-02-02 04:26:03 UTC

anyways, I get what you mean

2018-02-02 04:26:21 UTC

there's really two types of spending, productive spending and unproductive spending

2018-02-02 04:26:22 UTC

Yeah, but it was from 1963 to 1969. Nixon cancelled it after 1972 because it wasn't really accomplishing much anymore.

2018-02-02 04:26:35 UTC

Indeed.

2018-02-02 04:26:55 UTC

I think in terms of social welfare programs you need a society of potential workers

2018-02-02 04:27:07 UTC

for that you need more homogenity and the such

2018-02-02 04:28:01 UTC

otherwise it devolves into degenerates waiting for their checks every months sitting on their asses like in our reality

2018-02-02 04:28:10 UTC

Indeed.

2018-02-02 04:28:47 UTC

I definitely think that if we are going to spend money, put it into stuff like research and infrastructure

2018-02-02 04:29:21 UTC

if we do have welfare, put it into welfare for the Veterans

2018-02-02 04:30:09 UTC

then it's a reward and not just some presents from uncle sam

2018-02-02 04:31:17 UTC

Yep. Infrastructure is at least capable of helping the economy; research is also helpful but it's not as consistently helpful.

2018-02-02 04:31:47 UTC

When it comes to technologies and efficiency it can be helpful in monumental strides

2018-02-02 04:32:17 UTC

Look at the internet we're typing on right now, that's thanks to DARPA research from the '60s originally IIRC

2018-02-02 04:33:13 UTC

I think if we reach efficiency with certain products, utilities and the such we can lower the cost of living, and in turn that would allow for families to be single income again.

2018-02-02 04:33:32 UTC

That's really my motivation.

2018-02-02 04:36:11 UTC

Alright.

Have you all been following Cortland Sykes for Missouri Senate? He said Feminist have snakes in their head and is now making fun of the Pussy Hat women on his page. The Cat women are pissed

2018-02-02 15:39:40 UTC

@Den a while back I saw a vid on The Young Turks bitching about him

2018-02-02 16:03:56 UTC

that's how I found out about him

2018-02-02 16:04:06 UTC

the thing is, the other people here think there are stronger candidates

2018-02-02 16:04:11 UTC

forgot their names

2018-02-02 16:04:28 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ @FLanon Who are you guys backing in Missouri to take down McCaskill ?

2018-02-02 16:05:31 UTC

Yeah that is what I heard. He is a sexy little thing though. He is a little light on experience

2018-02-02 16:05:58 UTC

I thing he could get a lot of Conservative Women to vote for him

2018-02-02 16:06:06 UTC

are you a homosexual

2018-02-02 16:06:57 UTC

No. But you can tell when another guy is good looking. Also he is abnormally good looking so I really think it will help him get elected

2018-02-02 16:07:07 UTC

Ah.

2018-02-02 16:07:22 UTC

I'd wager Hawley is safe.

2018-02-02 16:09:23 UTC

Yeah CNN was trying to whip up the women against Hawley yesterday because he said the sexual objectification of women by Hollywood staring in the 60/70 led to sex Trafficking. Must now MkCunt face is vulnerable

2018-02-02 16:10:24 UTC

the truth is, if you're Republican, every word you mutter will be used against you no matter what

2018-02-02 16:11:07 UTC

How could anyone think what he said was offensive?

2018-02-02 16:11:47 UTC

if i was an elected official, I'd probably spend most of my time avoiding and hiding from the press

2018-02-02 16:44:10 UTC

That in and of itself is an act of cowardice to most swing voters and may stunt publicity severely.

2018-02-02 17:05:49 UTC

tbh the best way to avoid the press if you were an elected official is to be a typical Republican or a Democrat who always votes party line, preferably in a state that few people care about.

2018-02-02 17:05:54 UTC

but where's the fun in that

2018-02-02 17:53:54 UTC

Yeah being a boring politician means you basically have no career advancement

2018-02-02 17:54:08 UTC

But not everyone can run for President

2018-02-02 18:29:49 UTC

The DNC rigs the Democratic Primary Election against Bernie Sanders so Hilliary can win the nomination. Obama's administration starts to request surveillance on Trump, his family, his transition team, and anyone associated with him. Donna Brazil gives Hilliary the questions to a debate. The DNC pays Christopher Steele to come up with a smear dossier about Trump. The mainstream media releases a taped conversation about Trump talking about grabbing women parts. After all this Trump still wins the General Election. Obama orders an investigation into Russia meddling in our elections. Obama changes Executive Order 12333 to allow more agencies to have access to surveillance data. The Democratic Party comes up with a scandal that Trump Colluded with Russia to win the election with no evidence or proof. This wild claim is backed up by the mainstream media. Obama hold overs start unmasking Trump's transition team and staff members then release the classified information to the mainstream media. Why? Because the DNC and the Obama administration colluded with the intelligence community to thwart Trump's campaign efforts to get him elected president. All this Russia collusion is an attempt to cover up the fact that the Obama administration, the intelligence community, the DNC, along with the mainstream media used our nations surveillance as a political tool to try to get Hilliary elected President. This makes Watergate look like a kindergarten play. Let that sink in.

2018-02-02 19:01:56 UTC

So do you think the Memo will have an effect on the Midterms?

2018-02-02 19:03:37 UTC

we'll see,

2018-02-02 19:03:50 UTC

this is a bombshell, no exaggeration

2018-02-02 19:03:51 UTC

that we shall

2018-02-02 19:04:03 UTC

I can't wait to see the repercussions

I am currently inside Hunter College

2018-02-02 19:21:20 UTC

2018-02-02 19:22:49 UTC

There's a Marxist club that passes out fliers out in the open on a regular basis

2018-02-02 19:23:07 UTC

There's a Muslim club that shills for Islam being peaceful

2018-02-02 19:23:20 UTC

Also I know the guy who wrote that article lmao

2018-02-02 19:23:37 UTC

I don't think most people here will be voting

2018-02-02 19:23:50 UTC

not that it really matters, given how blue NYC already is

I think the "Blue Wave" was basically just all those "Zizek is a Communist who's so far left he's a Fascist therefore I am voting for Trump." idiots.

2018-02-02 20:34:26 UTC

They were never going to vote for a Democrat.

2018-02-02 20:34:55 UTC

And if they were, they'd do it because they want someone who's so left-wing and extreme that it'll crash the world.

2018-02-02 20:47:21 UTC

I'm in Hawley's corner

2018-02-02 20:50:52 UTC

He's really safer than most in this race

2018-02-02 20:51:22 UTC

538 has the generic ballot at D+5.1 now

2018-02-02 20:51:52 UTC

safer than it's ever been

2018-02-02 20:59:55 UTC

people are saying the memo is "only the beginning"

2018-02-02 21:00:12 UTC

tbh I've heard that phrase enough to last me a lifetime

2018-02-02 21:01:28 UTC

I hope Trump follows up with prosecutions, like I've said for a long time, if Trump can pull something big Justice-wise, and get these crooks into cells, the midterms will be a landslide for him, story of the decade.

2018-02-02 21:18:05 UTC

lmao there's this black guy from Chad talking on the phone right next to me

2018-02-02 22:39:44 UTC

So I was on Reddit (I know) I really think that the memo took care of any concerns we might have had about turnout. The Donald is calling for the heads of Democrats. There is a lot of anger. I'm sure that this how most Conservatives feel right now

2018-02-02 22:41:10 UTC

They are calling for the execution of those involved with this whole mess. This is after 2+ years trying to convince the world that they weren't radicalized

2018-02-02 23:04:54 UTC

I think people are too focused on the memo to really care at the moment

2018-02-02 23:05:13 UTC

I got you

2018-02-02 23:05:43 UTC

let's generate a discussion about the memo in the thread

2018-02-02 23:05:47 UTC

and its relevance to the midterms

2018-02-02 23:30:18 UTC

checked

2018-02-02 23:30:51 UTC

wtf i love accelerationism now

2018-02-02 23:33:04 UTC

yeah it's looking atm that the board's too turbulent with the memo news to focus on /rsg/

2018-02-02 23:47:14 UTC

thankfully that's much, much, much better than being too focused on Lauren Southern and black cock

2018-02-02 23:47:23 UTC

amen to that

2018-02-02 23:48:28 UTC

I don't even mind Lauren at all really. Not every public figure on the right needs to call for the next shoah

2018-02-02 23:49:05 UTC

and even a 'hypocritical thot' who exposes a lot of the left's bullshit and stuff like what's going on in South Africa isn't a big deal

2018-02-02 23:49:25 UTC

it's not like Lauren not being pure enough prevents anyone from being further right or being more traditional or whatever

2018-02-02 23:50:50 UTC

I'm ambivalent, there's more important things to focus on.

2018-02-02 23:50:57 UTC

sure

2018-02-02 23:51:06 UTC

/pol/ right now is in a pretty good state when it comes to the threads

2018-02-02 23:51:16 UTC

just a couple weeks ago, it was clogged with bullshit

2018-02-02 23:51:31 UTC

whenever the news cycle is slow it's clogged with bullshit

2018-02-02 23:51:44 UTC

that's the way it is, at least for a while

2018-02-02 23:52:03 UTC

remember the time the mods let 20 different threads of the black dick copypasta exist at the same time

2018-02-02 23:52:26 UTC

it's insane really

2018-02-02 23:53:33 UTC

the GameFAQs Politics board was my first introduction to politics on the internet (and politics in general) when I was like...11

2018-02-02 23:53:43 UTC

back in the latter years of the Bush Administration

2018-02-02 23:54:07 UTC

I basically left GameFAQs entirely around 5 years ago, but recently I checked in and saw it was pretty much the same bullshit

2018-02-02 23:54:17 UTC

thankfully it doesn't have moderation as bad as NeoGAF

2018-02-02 23:55:22 UTC

2018-02-02 23:55:23 UTC

ahahahaha

2018-02-02 23:55:49 UTC

game forum political discussions are leftist like 100% of the time aren't they?

2018-02-02 23:55:51 UTC

when I was an impressionable young lad, these faggots turned me leftist for most of my teen years

2018-02-02 23:56:10 UTC

@FLanon yeah, but GameFAQs thankfully is less strict on moderating right wing opinion in comparison to other spaces

2018-02-02 23:56:26 UTC

I think it's gotten a bit better since then

2018-02-02 23:56:35 UTC

wtf how is information being public any better

2018-02-02 23:56:47 UTC

there are a lot of Trump supporters on GameFAQs as far as I can tell, but I'm no longer a regular

2018-02-02 23:57:02 UTC

that just shows people are sheep and need media attention to find the truth

2018-02-02 23:57:16 UTC

that's a lot worse

2018-02-02 23:57:21 UTC

they're still outnumbered by the leftists, but in comparison to the latter days of Bush, and the Obama years, there's a lot more right-wing posters

2018-02-02 23:57:27 UTC

a lot of them are probably former leftists like me

2018-02-02 23:57:54 UTC

Yeah, I mean in the climate it was just unpalatable to be right wing

2018-02-02 23:58:02 UTC

oh and the thing is...many of the people who "mature" from leftist gamer drivel tend to leave GameFAQs and websites like it (like me)

2018-02-02 23:58:03 UTC

you had 5 years of a useless war on our hands

2018-02-02 23:58:14 UTC

etc

2018-02-02 23:58:16 UTC

I'm surprised it's still very active

2018-02-02 23:58:28 UTC

I recognize one of the users on the Politics thread right now "Turtlemayor333"

2018-02-02 23:58:37 UTC

that guy was a regular on the RuneScape board back in 2006

2018-02-02 23:58:38 UTC

jesus

2018-02-02 23:59:00 UTC
