Pretty astonishing though , that 49@ support 250K or less

2018-05-03 00:04:30 UTC

But passing the buck may not have been completely the bad move

2018-05-03 00:04:57 UTC

To bad we don't have a better control over Congess to implement this

2018-05-03 00:05:48 UTC

And a once in a decade opportunity to have a Red Storm in the Senate is wasted because Democratic enthusiasm is so damn high and Trump isn't on the 2018 ballet.

2018-05-03 00:07:04 UTC

Well, we're just going to have to see

2018-05-03 00:07:33 UTC

You know Flanon.

2018-05-03 00:07:46 UTC

I hope your idealism wins

2018-05-03 00:08:01 UTC

well don't we all

2018-05-03 00:08:27 UTC

even if we don't, I intend to be an annoyance to these rats to my dying breath nonetheless.

2018-05-03 00:15:01 UTC

I do feel it's a mission from God or something like that, my sort of purpose for existence, that's part of what pushes me, it's not really "idealism" in that I believe everything will go well on its own, but more determination in that I have to do everything that I must do everything to make it to my endgoal. Like I'm Captain Ahab and these guys are Moby Dick or something.

2018-05-03 00:15:32 UTC

You would be a good vice president.

2018-05-03 00:15:36 UTC

So I push forward

2018-05-03 00:15:49 UTC

I've been talking on here about a 2040 run, and I'm serious about it.

2018-05-03 00:16:04 UTC

Yeah a Dick Cheney vice president who controls everything from the back

2018-05-03 00:16:18 UTC

Nah man, no puppet, no puppet.

2018-05-03 00:16:39 UTC

Ambition is healthy though

2018-05-03 00:17:07 UTC

Even if we don't get to the highest rung of the ladder, we all sort of get to the highest point we have to be to fill essential positions.

2018-05-03 00:17:20 UTC

Dick Cheney was great

2018-05-03 00:17:35 UTC

I certainly am aiming for the highest position possible, no doubt.

2018-05-03 00:17:35 UTC

If you could be like that man, hats off to you.

2018-05-03 00:17:48 UTC

I've always thought he was a neocon.

2018-05-03 00:18:05 UTC

It's less to do with ideology and more to do with the type of position he had

2018-05-03 00:18:42 UTC

I would make sure to avoid quail shooting if that's where life leads me though

2018-05-03 00:19:00 UTC

You don't like hunting?

2018-05-03 00:19:22 UTC

Dan Quayle was a genius.

2018-05-03 00:19:41 UTC

if I turn into a Dick Cheney it'd probably be best for me to avoid going quail shooting

2018-05-03 00:19:56 UTC

with friends

2018-05-03 00:20:05 UTC

xD

2018-05-03 00:20:38 UTC

Dan Quayle was interesting, especially with the quotes

2018-05-03 00:20:53 UTC

Guys, if Korea gets reunified, and Kim Jong-un wins the Peace Prize, will anyone actually be surprised?

2018-05-03 00:21:01 UTC

Nope.

2018-05-03 00:21:04 UTC

if Un wins the peace prize?

2018-05-03 00:21:07 UTC

Marxists, man.

2018-05-03 00:21:08 UTC

Yep.

2018-05-03 00:21:08 UTC

Probably not

2018-05-03 00:21:21 UTC

They'll give him one before they do to Trump.

2018-05-03 00:21:34 UTC

It's still funny to me Trump is visiting NK before UK lol

2018-05-03 00:21:39 UTC

The irony

2018-05-03 00:21:40 UTC

Honestly Kim deserves absolutely no credit for cooperating.

2018-05-03 00:21:54 UTC

yeah.

2018-05-03 00:21:55 UTC

It's like giving the bank robber a reward for not shooting hostages

2018-05-03 00:22:00 UTC

YUP

2018-05-03 00:22:39 UTC

Nah it'd like giving a mob boss a law enforcement award because he surrendered when his hideout was surrounded by police.

2018-05-03 00:22:52 UTC

I'd shoot him.

2018-05-03 00:23:02 UTC

yeah that's a good comparison

2018-05-03 00:23:10 UTC

Cost the state less to imprison him

2018-05-03 00:23:14 UTC

more*

2018-05-03 00:23:44 UTC

Kim is cornered and that is absolutely because of no one else but Trump.

2018-05-03 00:23:53 UTC

Yeah.

2018-05-03 00:23:58 UTC

but the media won'trun that story

2018-05-03 00:24:03 UTC

No one will hear the truth

2018-05-03 00:24:24 UTC

That the reason he came table wasn't UN sanctions (that weren't even followed)

2018-05-03 00:24:30 UTC

But "My button is bigger than yours"

2018-05-03 00:25:10 UTC

The "my button is bigger than yours" tweet was the most pivotal thing to bring NK to heel imo

2018-05-03 00:25:33 UTC

And Button mash said nothing good came from Trump's twitter pfft

2018-05-03 00:25:53 UTC

On NK I think that once the summits happen, with Trump at the table, it would be absolutely undeniable.

2018-05-03 00:26:21 UTC

At this point, that story is leading in a good direction, with the Korean War and detainee release stuff.

2018-05-03 00:26:32 UTC

You're more hopeful than me.

2018-05-03 00:26:39 UTC

i think Kim is bullshitting a lot.

2018-05-03 00:26:47 UTC

Just to get Trump to leave him alone.

2018-05-03 00:26:51 UTC

This is the number one foreign policy priority for Trump.

2018-05-03 00:26:51 UTC

We'll see though.

2018-05-03 00:27:07 UTC

Then he is making a hell of a lot of concessions

2018-05-03 00:27:48 UTC

Well he hasn't really conceeded anything yet.

2018-05-03 00:27:48 UTC

Trump would have to have a single digit IQ to not keep close oversight over NK's denuclearization process.

2018-05-03 00:27:51 UTC

he said he would

2018-05-03 00:28:22 UTC

The summit is going to be pivotal, we're going to need treaties and that sort of thing.

2018-05-03 00:28:41 UTC

Won't help us in the midterms though.

2018-05-03 00:28:52 UTC

It will, indirectly

2018-05-03 00:28:57 UTC

nah

2018-05-03 00:29:05 UTC

It's going to help Trump's reelection.

2018-05-03 00:29:18 UTC

It affects Trump's approval rating which then affects the midterms.

2018-05-03 00:29:24 UTC

Not really./

2018-05-03 00:29:29 UTC

Well

2018-05-03 00:29:30 UTC

maybe

2018-05-03 00:29:33 UTC

It allows for Trump to campaign in more places and get positive reception

2018-05-03 00:29:36 UTC

I just compare it to 2010

2018-05-03 00:29:41 UTC

How we cleaned house

2018-05-03 00:29:48 UTC

yet Obama won easy in 2012

2018-05-03 00:30:09 UTC

That's part of it, but these events have their effect.

2018-05-03 00:30:16 UTC

It was a reaction against Democrats, not obama.

2018-05-03 00:30:21 UTC

This is Trump's "We killed Bin Laden" moment

2018-05-03 00:30:37 UTC

I thinkit's better

2018-05-03 00:30:45 UTC

Obama took credit for something he didn't do

2018-05-03 00:30:52 UTC

That was all the CIA's work and Obama tried to stop them.

2018-05-03 00:31:02 UTC

They found Bin laden Inspite fo Obama

2018-05-03 00:31:04 UTC

It definitely has a much larger concrete effect while Obama's was more symbolic

2018-05-03 00:31:07 UTC

the NK disutaion

2018-05-03 00:31:09 UTC

situation*(

2018-05-03 00:31:14 UTC

is entirely trump's creation

2018-05-03 00:31:41 UTC

Obama took credit for something he not only had no part it achieving, but even tried to stop

2018-05-03 00:31:47 UTC

Trump is going to take credit for his sole creation

2018-05-03 00:32:33 UTC

Yep, we're just going to have to see.

2018-05-03 00:32:45 UTC

These summits are going to be what does it, we need treaties.

2018-05-03 00:33:12 UTC

The bookmakers are marking Trump's odds against getting the Nobel Prize at 2:1

2018-05-03 00:33:26 UTC

He won't get the award most likely because of the entrenched establishment

2018-05-03 00:33:28 UTC

HERE COMES THE BLACPILL

2018-05-03 00:33:31 UTC

Knowing Trump's record, he'll give away the store to North Korea

2018-05-03 00:33:33 UTC

What do you got for us today BM?

2018-05-03 00:33:38 UTC

THERE IT IS

2018-05-03 00:33:47 UTC

Not even blackpill, just illogical

2018-05-03 00:33:55 UTC

I'm quasi-kidding

2018-05-03 00:33:55 UTC

Hi quasi-kidding, I'm Dad!

2018-05-03 00:34:00 UTC

North Korea is the one thing I absolutely unequivocally trust Trump on because I know what he's getting at

2018-05-03 00:34:00 UTC

Fuck you

2018-05-03 00:34:02 UTC

LOL

2018-05-03 00:34:06 UTC

XD

2018-05-03 00:34:15 UTC

So what were the other election results from last night?

2018-05-03 00:34:18 UTC

You walked right into that.

2018-05-03 00:34:27 UTC

Tennessee-69?

2018-05-03 00:36:01 UTC

I've been waiting on those, I want to see if it's an 80 point dem swing ultra blackpill result or not

2018-05-03 00:36:16 UTC

88% R/12% D

2018-05-03 00:36:26 UTC

So is that 12 points?

2018-05-03 00:36:30 UTC

Didn't you say it was 100%

2018-05-03 00:36:31 UTC

Which is that?

2018-05-03 00:36:39 UTC

I was wrong, not TN, but SC

2018-05-03 00:36:46 UTC

Is that what Trump got in 2016?

2018-05-03 00:37:02 UTC

no this was the result for last night

2018-05-03 00:37:09 UTC

What did Trump get

2018-05-03 00:37:12 UTC

alright, and what did Trump get

2018-05-03 00:39:22 UTC

In 2016, Trump won here by 62% to 31%

2018-05-03 00:39:23 UTC

Test

2018-05-03 00:39:30 UTC

Wow

2018-05-03 00:40:09 UTC

Wait

2018-05-03 00:40:20 UTC

Why the republican swing

2018-05-03 00:40:22 UTC

So, comparing this to Trump's margin, that is something like a 40 point swing to Rs, right?

2018-05-03 00:40:35 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ analyst, ANALYZE!

2018-05-03 00:40:49 UTC

@zakattack04 simple,

2018-05-03 00:40:51 UTC

rural retards

2018-05-03 00:40:56 UTC

hahahaha

2018-05-03 00:41:01 UTC

Why don't rural retards like Trump?

2018-05-03 00:41:30 UTC

Because Women most likely

2018-05-03 00:41:34 UTC

There was a ***40 POINT SWING***?

2018-05-03 00:41:53 UTC

Don't get your hopes up FL-!9'

2018-05-03 00:41:58 UTC

it's an anomaly

2018-05-03 00:42:08 UTC

Trump would've probably done a lot better among White Women without the Access Hollywood Tape coming out

2018-05-03 00:42:15 UTC

To be fair, it was uncontested last time, if you look at it that way, it's technically a 12 point swing to dems, but I don't think that's a fair way to do it.

2018-05-03 00:42:18 UTC

Hell,

2018-05-03 00:42:24 UTC

he probably would've won the popular vote

2018-05-03 00:42:43 UTC

But I don't think we should look at it from a previous result if it's uncontested you know, but this is insane.

2018-05-03 00:42:46 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ so does that mean major white women republican swing for 2018

2018-05-03 00:42:59 UTC

Don't get ahead of yourself

2018-05-03 00:43:04 UTC

:(

2018-05-03 00:43:05 UTC

But I think there's a case to be made

2018-05-03 00:43:11 UTC

What were the other results?

2018-05-03 00:43:30 UTC

A generic Republican will do better among White Women than with Trump

2018-05-03 00:43:36 UTC

YEET

2018-05-03 00:43:45 UTC

Some good news is a sea of bad

2018-05-03 00:43:51 UTC

Unless the last Republican who retired,

2018-05-03 00:43:55 UTC

wasn't a rapist

2018-05-03 00:43:59 UTC

like in PA-07

2018-05-03 00:44:04 UTC

and AZ-08

2018-05-03 00:44:06 UTC

YEET us into Congress at 100 votes per minute boi

2018-05-03 00:44:08 UTC

and countless others

2018-05-03 00:44:16 UTC

the GOP has a rapist problem

2018-05-03 00:44:23 UTC

Democrats have more

2018-05-03 00:44:37 UTC

Most of the people that retired because of allegations were democrats

2018-05-03 00:44:40 UTC

So, what of the other results?

2018-05-03 00:44:43 UTC

It was like 27-3 or something

2018-05-03 00:45:01 UTC

Because so far, when comparing to Trump, we're looking at extreme R swings so far

2018-05-03 00:45:27 UTC

Comparing to previous district results, we have some more minor dem swings.

2018-05-03 00:45:32 UTC

A Republican was not on the ballot in this Massachusetts election @FLanon

2018-05-03 00:45:48 UTC

Ah, uncontested, got it.

2018-05-03 00:46:07 UTC

There was a Democrat, an Independent Progressive, and Independent

2018-05-03 00:46:18 UTC

How did Trump perform in that one?

2018-05-03 00:47:30 UTC

Clinton got 81% of the vote

2018-05-03 00:47:32 UTC

and Trump 15%

2018-05-03 00:47:56 UTC

Yeah not exactly too big of a loss then.

2018-05-03 00:48:21 UTC

In that case, last night was an extreme consensus breaker.

2018-05-03 00:48:22 UTC

Obama got 80% and Romney 16%

2018-05-03 00:48:31 UTC

been trending consistently blue

2018-05-03 00:48:58 UTC

I mean, holy fuck guys, this is insane.

2018-05-03 00:49:17 UTC

No sweetie

2018-05-03 00:49:32 UTC

We've got to use this stuff to rebound

2018-05-03 00:49:39 UTC

Take back the narrative and all

2018-05-03 00:50:21 UTC

5 days until the OH, IN, and WV Senate primaries

2018-05-03 00:50:35 UTC

Postpone your celebration

2018-05-03 00:50:39 UTC

Let's go then

2018-05-03 00:50:44 UTC

Inb4 Mike gibbons gets wrecked

2018-05-03 00:50:53 UTC

And coal Barron too

2018-05-03 00:50:55 UTC

I don't have hope for Ohio

2018-05-03 00:51:06 UTC

If we're struggling to win Tennessee

2018-05-03 00:51:14 UTC

do you really expect to pick up Ohio?

2018-05-03 00:51:22 UTC

who cares

2018-05-03 00:51:33 UTC

fight everywhere, never yield

2018-05-03 00:51:45 UTC

Lol who cares?

2018-05-03 00:51:55 UTC

Just waste resources everywhere

2018-05-03 00:52:06 UTC

If Blankenship wins, it's over

2018-05-03 00:52:11 UTC

Manchin will win easily

2018-05-03 00:52:12 UTC

"waste resources"

2018-05-03 00:52:20 UTC

blankenship will not win

2018-05-03 00:52:28 UTC

Hopefully not

2018-05-03 00:52:37 UTC

Man chin won't win

2018-05-03 00:52:42 UTC

Not in WV

2018-05-03 00:52:47 UTC

Ohio is absolutely a worthwhile place to put our resources.

2018-05-03 00:52:51 UTC

As long as they run a Trumpist GOP

2018-05-03 00:52:51 UTC

He won 60% of the vote last time

2018-05-03 00:52:59 UTC

There would need to be a massive transition

2018-05-03 00:53:05 UTC

His approval ratings are in the toilet BM

2018-05-03 00:53:10 UTC

Yeah, like him betraying his promises

2018-05-03 00:53:17 UTC

Guess what's happened?

2018-05-03 00:54:20 UTC

Who the hell is even running in IN

2018-05-03 00:54:31 UTC

Plus Manchin was running against a complete retard in 2012

2018-05-03 00:54:56 UTC

We could win Indiana pretty easily yet I don't know who the Republicans are even running

2018-05-03 00:55:29 UTC

Everyone's hyping up this Mike Braun guy but I'm not familiar

2018-05-03 00:56:39 UTC

Anyways, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan are prime real estate.

2018-05-03 00:57:37 UTC

>Americans released from NK prison

2018-05-03 00:57:40 UTC

Rokita and Braun are winning the primary.

2018-05-03 00:57:41 UTC

>Meanwhile,

2018-05-03 00:57:50 UTC

I think this is probably how he should be going about the prisoner situation

2018-05-03 00:58:02 UTC

>Trump lets the caravan apply for asylum

2018-05-03 00:58:14 UTC

He has to under American law

2018-05-03 00:58:14 UTC

Am I supposed to be happy about this?

2018-05-03 00:58:17 UTC

They're free now.

2018-05-03 00:58:22 UTC

1980 refugee act

2018-05-03 00:58:27 UTC

Trump is still a failure

2018-05-03 00:58:34 UTC

Trump could've stopped the caravan

2018-05-03 00:58:49 UTC

He did nothing to threaten Mexico to break it up

2018-05-03 00:59:05 UTC

they made a break for it

2018-05-03 00:59:16 UTC

Didn't he tweet about it?

2018-05-03 00:59:18 UTC

Trump should be busting their balls big time for this

2018-05-03 00:59:18 UTC

All Trump did was put out a tweet calling Mexico out

2018-05-03 00:59:26 UTC

no threats of any substance

2018-05-03 00:59:33 UTC

And guess what Mexico did, Flanon?

2018-05-03 00:59:44 UTC

Mexico gave them travel visas!

2018-05-03 00:59:57 UTC

1300 were in the caravan, 26 got through

2018-05-03 01:00:01 UTC

Specifically so they could crawl up the border

2018-05-03 01:00:08 UTC

like the rats they are

2018-05-03 01:00:28 UTC

They shouldn't have reached the border to begin with

2018-05-03 01:00:40 UTC

Trump failed to provoke Mexico

2018-05-03 01:00:51 UTC

Why is Trump wasting time with sanctions on North Korea?

2018-05-03 01:00:55 UTC

It's a bit disingenuous to say the entire caravan got through, we definitely need to repeal stuff like the refugee act and stuff like that

2018-05-03 01:00:56 UTC

but not Mexico?

2018-05-03 01:01:18 UTC

Trump should've threatened to sanction Mexico if they didn't break up the caravan

2018-05-03 01:01:24 UTC

but no, he's a failure

2018-05-03 01:01:39 UTC

Yeah, absolutely he should've taken a stronger stand.

2018-05-03 01:02:03 UTC

"Do something Congress! Do something Mexico!"

2018-05-03 01:02:07 UTC

Not how it works buddy

2018-05-03 01:02:15 UTC

You need leverage for threats to work

2018-05-03 01:02:23 UTC

Come on, he doesn't have that power with Congress and you know it

2018-05-03 01:02:27 UTC

It's barely a trickle of people from the caravan got through

2018-05-03 01:02:45 UTC

That's why Trump needs to threaten the idiots in Congress

2018-05-03 01:02:49 UTC

He has leverage, he may just be planning to use it for other means, that's what I'd guess.

2018-05-03 01:02:51 UTC

He should threaten to primary them all

2018-05-03 01:02:59 UTC

We don't know everything that happens at these top levels

2018-05-03 01:03:13 UTC

Why has Trump entrusted Ryan and McConnell with all the decisions?

2018-05-03 01:03:22 UTC

The President is supposed to set the agenda

2018-05-03 01:03:55 UTC

Nobody expected Congress to actually embrace Trump's agenda
