hah

2018-02-16 03:25:57 UTC

I heard that one trans person is running

2018-02-16 03:26:05 UTC

the name escapes me

2018-02-16 03:26:06 UTC

Chelsea Manning?

2018-02-16 03:26:08 UTC

no

2018-02-16 03:26:08 UTC

jenner

2018-02-16 03:26:10 UTC

^

2018-02-16 03:26:19 UTC

The Rock vs. Jenner

2018-02-16 03:26:24 UTC

The Rock would win.

2018-02-16 03:26:27 UTC

and that's the R primaries

2018-02-16 03:26:30 UTC

Hahahaha

2018-02-16 03:26:34 UTC

Who is the GOP candidate for Maryland

2018-02-16 03:26:37 UTC

what a shitshow

2018-02-16 03:26:39 UTC

A celebrity is the only type of person who can win the GOP in the CA,

2018-02-16 03:26:43 UTC

Faddis the CIA boi

2018-02-16 03:26:45 UTC

Californians hate the rich,

2018-02-16 03:26:53 UTC

but you have to be rich to win CA politics

2018-02-16 03:27:12 UTC

So a whistleblower vs a CIA officer. classic

2018-02-16 03:27:12 UTC

althought rich leftists and celebrities are the exception

2018-02-16 03:27:20 UTC

Maryland has a remote chance of flipping.

2018-02-16 03:28:01 UTC

If Manning wins the primaries somehow, she does have a shot against the CIA boi if she exposes what our government is doing

2018-02-16 03:28:01 UTC

slim field for the GOP in the maryland seat is the thing

2018-02-16 03:28:32 UTC

if I had a choice I'd stay as far away as possible from the CIA guy for that seat

2018-02-16 03:28:40 UTC

they tend to have a major neocon tendency

2018-02-16 03:28:43 UTC

^^^

2018-02-16 03:29:09 UTC

I mean, it's pretty much a given if I was in Maryland I would vote Manning, but if I was someone who voted for Trump I would not vote for a neocon

2018-02-16 03:29:22 UTC

Neocons like McCain, Cotton, Graham and Rubio need to gtfo

2018-02-16 03:29:51 UTC

I agree, in their own time, although I'm ok with Cotton to an extent

2018-02-16 03:30:01 UTC

Cotton seems okay.

2018-02-16 03:30:16 UTC

He isn't the best, but he seems to tow the line most of the time.

2018-02-16 03:30:21 UTC

The dude is very hawkish when it comes to Iran

2018-02-16 03:30:46 UTC

We need to stop interfering with other countries and focus on America!

2018-02-16 03:30:55 UTC

McCain'll expire, Graham and Rubio'll probably be fixtures for a long time unfortunately.

2018-02-16 03:30:59 UTC

America first

2018-02-16 03:31:05 UTC

no one touches Cotton

2018-02-16 03:31:10 UTC

best man in the Senate

2018-02-16 03:31:21 UTC

Graham will be primaried out.

2018-02-16 03:31:23 UTC

immigration is my main concern

2018-02-16 03:31:27 UTC

same

2018-02-16 03:31:36 UTC

Cotton is the leader of the immigration hawks

2018-02-16 03:32:06 UTC

Ok so for you guys your main focus is on immigration. Are there any other issues you are focused on or is it just immigration

2018-02-16 03:32:16 UTC

just immigration, rly

2018-02-16 03:32:28 UTC

This is really the future of the country

2018-02-16 03:32:33 UTC

Yeah, mostly immigration.

2018-02-16 03:32:54 UTC

Tax cuts are great, too.

2018-02-16 03:33:10 UTC

So economy and immigration?

2018-02-16 03:33:16 UTC

I'd rally with a socialist if he was anti-immigration, the other stuff is important to me, but this is my main priority.

2018-02-16 03:33:32 UTC

It tells me where you're coming from.

2018-02-16 03:33:32 UTC

Immigration is the #1 issue.

2018-02-16 03:33:54 UTC

IMMIGRATION. IS. EVERYTHING.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/413900775916437526/voters.png

2018-02-16 03:33:59 UTC

The other stuff is great, but without strong borders none of that can happen.

2018-02-16 03:34:20 UTC

@Snickers run a immigration hawk in your party and maybe I'll vote for them

2018-02-16 03:34:22 UTC

I'm an america first guy and being pro-open borders shows me your true intentions the best

2018-02-16 03:34:48 UTC

corporations love the low wages illegals give them

2018-02-16 03:34:53 UTC

I would vote for a closed border isolationist Dem over a globalist R any day.

2018-02-16 03:34:59 UTC

^

2018-02-16 03:35:17 UTC

the issue is in this day and age, they don't seem to exist in the party

2018-02-16 03:35:24 UTC

and they never will

2018-02-16 03:35:48 UTC

I'm a pretty down the line paleocon, but immigration is my litmus test

2018-02-16 03:36:06 UTC

paleoconservatism ftw

2018-02-16 03:36:16 UTC

I'm more of a right-wing Libertarian.

2018-02-16 03:36:37 UTC

tfw no lefties

2018-02-16 03:36:52 UTC

A lot of the corps are in bed w/ the government to make regulations so small businesses can't get ahead

2018-02-16 03:36:52 UTC

i'm left in some aspects

2018-02-16 03:36:56 UTC

I need to find a leftypol discord since I can't really connect with you guys

2018-02-16 03:37:07 UTC

i'm more left-wing on foreign policy

2018-02-16 03:37:07 UTC

Other than just talking about midterms

2018-02-16 03:37:19 UTC

yeah I don't think a discord called red storm general is really the cup of tea for a lefty

2018-02-16 03:37:27 UTC

should we kick him

2018-02-16 03:37:30 UTC

nah

2018-02-16 03:37:35 UTC

lol

2018-02-16 03:37:36 UTC

Research your candidates, Snickers.

2018-02-16 03:37:42 UTC

You might find a few R's you like.

2018-02-16 03:37:57 UTC

I'll tolerate it to an extent

2018-02-16 03:38:00 UTC

I'm not as heavily invested in the midterms as you guys are, just interesting to have a discussion

2018-02-16 03:38:11 UTC

it?

2018-02-16 03:38:15 UTC

are you a r/bluewave spy?

2018-02-16 03:38:22 UTC

I don't even have reddit

2018-02-16 03:38:31 UTC

_hmmmmmmmmmm_

2018-02-16 03:38:38 UTC

**_HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM_**

2018-02-16 03:38:39 UTC

And I've even stated that I was a lefty several times now lol

2018-02-16 03:38:42 UTC

we gonna have text waterboarding now

2018-02-16 03:38:48 UTC

ayy

2018-02-16 03:39:13 UTC

I'm not going to have a part in any kicking if that's what ends up happening

2018-02-16 03:40:13 UTC

lmao I mean it doesn't really matter. I was hoping to talk about midterms and politics really.

2018-02-16 03:40:51 UTC

Why are you a Democrat? What about the party appeals to you?

2018-02-16 03:40:54 UTC

All I'm going to do that is remotely "blue wave" is just vote for Dems in the midterm elections

2018-02-16 03:41:16 UTC

what district are you in

2018-02-16 03:41:21 UTC

or state

2018-02-16 03:41:29 UTC

Maryland, probably a deep blue one.

2018-02-16 03:41:39 UTC

I mean fair enough, if that lines up with your values

2018-02-16 03:41:41 UTC

okay, doesn't matter then

2018-02-16 03:41:45 UTC

I'm not really a Democrat as I find most democrats to be corporatist neoliberals, but it there is a candidate that I think is worth voting for I'm voting for him or her

2018-02-16 03:41:49 UTC

pielover said it lmao

2018-02-16 03:42:11 UTC

So you're Berniebro?

2018-02-16 03:42:11 UTC

are you urban

2018-02-16 03:42:18 UTC

I'm not a fan of corporate hands in the government either

2018-02-16 03:42:19 UTC

Also Texas District 07

2018-02-16 03:42:25 UTC

So Houston Area

2018-02-16 03:42:37 UTC

look at the requirements to be an accredited investor, that's elitist as fuck

2018-02-16 03:42:55 UTC

NOOOOOOOOOOO

2018-02-16 03:43:04 UTC

YOU'RE IN A BATTLEGROUND (R) DISTRICT

2018-02-16 03:43:07 UTC

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

2018-02-16 03:43:13 UTC

KICK HIM

2018-02-16 03:43:17 UTC

lmaoooo

2018-02-16 03:43:18 UTC

wut

2018-02-16 03:43:32 UTC

HE'S GOING TO COST US THE MIDTERMS

2018-02-16 03:44:04 UTC

We can flip his vote.

2018-02-16 03:44:19 UTC

can we

2018-02-16 03:44:31 UTC

Many Bernie supporters voted for Trump.

2018-02-16 03:44:32 UTC

can't tell if you're being serious or not, Culberson isn't unpopular and served in the district for quite some time now

2018-02-16 03:44:37 UTC

TX-7 is one of the Clinton Suburban districts!!!

2018-02-16 03:44:50 UTC

But again, I follow the Senate more than the House so

2018-02-16 03:45:22 UTC

If it comes down to one vote and you vote D I'm gonna kill myself lmao

2018-02-16 03:46:05 UTC

I gotta leave, but don't kick Snickers out unless he crosses the line. Maybe we'll be able to get his vote.

2018-02-16 03:46:07 UTC

Depends who the D is in the district.

2018-02-16 03:46:16 UTC

See, he can be swung.

2018-02-16 03:46:32 UTC

ehh, swung as in swung not to vote

2018-02-16 03:46:50 UTC

Still, that's one less vote for our opponents.

2018-02-16 03:46:53 UTC

lmao you guys are acting like Im some kind of a special person and can't hear you guys. "He can be persuaded" "He can become one of us"

2018-02-16 03:47:36 UTC

Well, you can probably atleast be persuaded to not vote.

2018-02-16 03:48:08 UTC

YOUR DISTRICT HANGS IN THE BALANCE

2018-02-16 03:48:46 UTC

alright, let's de-escalate this for a moment

2018-02-16 03:49:20 UTC

How is it a battleground district? Most of the people in the district are rich urbanites living in the River Oaks areas. Most of them are apathetic or vote Republican

2018-02-16 03:49:29 UTC

Here's my (hopefully) definitive list of senate candidates for us to go for:
AZ-Martha McSally
FL-Rick Scott*
IN-Todd Rokita
MA-V.A. Shiva
ME-Paul LePage*
MI-John James
MO-Josh Hawley
MN-Robert Barnheiser
MN(sp)-Karin Housley
MT-Matt Rosendale
ND-Kevin Cramer
NJ-Thomas Kean Jr*
OH-Jim Renacci
PA-Lou Barletta
TN-Marsha Blackburn
VA-Corey Stewart
WI-Kevin Nicholson
WV-Evan Jenkins
(* represents a potential candidate) (As of 2/15/2018)

2018-02-16 03:49:29 UTC

Clinton won there

2018-02-16 03:49:48 UTC

it's not _the_ most vulnerable district, but still

2018-02-16 03:50:21 UTC

I see. But there are special districts where Trump won by a huge margin and the Dems won this year

2018-02-16 03:50:37 UTC

Also according to ballotpedia it's not even considered a battleground

2018-02-16 03:50:53 UTC

2018-02-16 03:50:56 UTC

i'm the data guru

2018-02-16 03:51:01 UTC

and i say its vulnerable

2018-02-16 03:51:26 UTC

tell me,

2018-02-16 03:51:32 UTC

as a lefty, what is your endgame

2018-02-16 03:51:36 UTC

what is your ideal America

2018-02-16 03:51:45 UTC

endgame lmao

2018-02-16 03:51:52 UTC

A raceless, mocha-colored averaged population?

2018-02-16 03:51:54 UTC

globalism and open borders and mutliculturalism obviously

2018-02-16 03:51:58 UTC

nah

2018-02-16 03:52:00 UTC

haha

2018-02-16 03:52:01 UTC

I KNEW IT

2018-02-16 03:52:06 UTC

lmao its a joke

2018-02-16 03:52:08 UTC

^

2018-02-16 03:53:07 UTC

you think you're clever, arentcha

2018-02-16 03:53:14 UTC

I know of your globalist dream of a pacified world wide serfdom, dependent upon government, substances, and subsistence labor to barely survive, too weak to challenge the globalist police state hegemony.

2018-02-16 03:53:16 UTC

Really its just what progressives want. No more wars abroad, stronger economy, healthy society where people actually have access to free college, medicare, etc.

2018-02-16 03:53:39 UTC

lmao a police state is the last thing I want or any progressive wants for that matter

2018-02-16 05:20:20 UTC

@Snickers Ueah everyone wants free shit wether they are a Regression or not. The problem is that you can't get there without making society in general poorer. That is why Liberals are all retarded

2018-02-16 05:25:10 UTC

How is free college, expanded medicaid, better infrastructure, etc. going to make society poorer?

2018-02-16 05:25:39 UTC

>inb4 tax money

2018-02-16 05:26:11 UTC

Oh fuck off! I didn't say infrastructure and Medicaid would make society poorer

2018-02-16 05:26:37 UTC

fine. how is free college and expanded medicare going to make society poorer?

2018-02-16 05:28:01 UTC

Because everyone else has to Pay for your free shit! I already paid for my degree so why should I have to pay for yours? Why don't you fix the reason why college is so expensive? Seriously why the fuck are you even here.

2018-02-16 05:28:09 UTC

I knew you would say that

2018-02-16 05:28:34 UTC

Believe it or not, tax dollars aren't used for government expenditures, especially for the United States since we are monetary sovereign

2018-02-16 05:29:01 UTC

Taxes are used for other reasons such as regulating aggregate demand, but not for investing in public goods and services

2018-02-16 05:30:20 UTC

We can essentially have "free college" since the federal government is going to check the college, and that money will be used to invest in the college infrastructure, college professors, etc. etc.

2018-02-16 05:31:10 UTC

But our politicians keep on peddling the neoliberal bullshit that we are somehow limited on the amount of money we can have and we will somehow go bankrupt even though that hasn't been the case ever since we got off the gold standard.

2018-02-16 05:34:23 UTC

Also, I never understood why conservatives aren't behind free college. The reason why most millenials have to delay major life decisions like getting married, buying a house, starting a nuclear family, etc. is because of the private debt they have to pay back from college, even those who are in STEM and business majors

2018-02-16 05:37:43 UTC

you don't have to go college

2018-02-16 05:38:27 UTC

You're right, but these are for people who actually worked their ass off to get into the college they want, only to either not go to college or have to go to a shittier one because they can't pay off the massive tuition fee that comes with it.

2018-02-16 05:38:49 UTC

I'm for more opportunities when it comes to trade school though

2018-02-16 05:39:17 UTC

well they should've thought about if they could pay for it beforehand

2018-02-16 05:39:21 UTC

it's their fault

2018-02-16 05:39:24 UTC

k

2018-02-16 06:40:43 UTC

"Believe it or not, tax dollars aren't used for government expenditures, especially for the United States since we are monetary sovereign
Taxes are used for other reasons such as regulating aggregate demand, but not for investing in public goods and services" @Snickers what

2018-02-16 15:55:01 UTC

Hopefully Utah Rs block him

2018-02-16 16:35:50 UTC

"Mark my words. If Republican majorities in Congress pass citizenship for millions of people and amnesty, I think itโ€™s quite likely we will lose both houses of Congress and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will impeach President Trump," Sen. Cruz (TX) warns

2018-02-16 17:16:50 UTC

Indeed.

2018-02-16 18:13:53 UTC

the thing is, it's not prime American hours right now

2018-02-16 18:14:05 UTC

it's still Europoor time for /pol/

2018-02-16 18:52:16 UTC

wtf

2018-02-16 18:52:26 UTC

delete that,

2018-02-16 18:52:29 UTC

so....Mueller is indicting Russians because they made social media?

2018-02-16 18:52:30 UTC

I want to give a quick rundwon

2018-02-16 18:52:36 UTC

sure

2018-02-16 18:52:42 UTC

i've analyzed this situation, okay

2018-02-16 18:53:20 UTC

It appears that Russians forces worked with unwitting members of both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump organizations in an attempt to sow chaos in the American political scene

2018-02-16 18:54:05 UTC

the bit at the very end of Mueller's indictment letter stating that Trump staffers were โ€œunwittingโ€ suggests he will end up clearing the campaign itself on anything related to collusion/conspiracy

2018-02-16 18:54:33 UTC

AG Deputy Rosenstein pretty much sums this up in his own statement:

2018-02-16 18:54:46 UTC

There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election.

2018-02-16 18:55:20 UTC

Also, to answer your own question, yes,

2018-02-16 18:55:45 UTC

because foreign nationals posing as Americans is a violation of US campaign laws

2018-02-16 18:56:37 UTC

look at this btw, this is worth shilling:

2018-02-16 18:56:50 UTC

I'm sure there were tons of foreign nationals shiling for Hill while posing as Americans

2018-02-16 18:57:12 UTC

Russian forces worked with both two Democrat and Republican groups on the same _day_

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/414133130627121152/show.png

2018-02-16 18:57:38 UTC

they were,

2018-02-16 18:57:52 UTC

yeah, and I'm sure it wasn't just Russians as well

2018-02-16 18:57:55 UTC

one of them being the "Not my president" movement

2018-02-16 18:58:17 UTC

I'm sure there are quite a few Britbongs, cucked Krauts, sissy Swedes, etc who posed as Americans

2018-02-16 18:58:31 UTC

I'm sure there are quite a few leafs who did that

2018-02-16 18:58:36 UTC

as well as many other nationalities

2018-02-16 18:58:39 UTC

there is some truth behind the British part

2018-02-16 18:58:45 UTC

this Russia thing is so fucking retarded

2018-02-16 18:58:47 UTC

if you recall,

2018-02-16 18:59:28 UTC

the Nunes memo indicates that British forces met with Manafort

2018-02-16 19:25:10 UTC

the mexican illegals who voted did more to influence the election than russia

2018-02-16 20:18:08 UTC

True

2018-02-16 20:28:03 UTC

so is it pretty much confirmed that the Mueller/Muh Russia bullshit won't be around by November ?

2018-02-16 20:34:57 UTC

also...

2018-02-16 20:36:15 UTC

"Never downvoted an article faster in my life."

roflmao

2018-02-17 00:41:41 UTC

sums it up perfectly

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/414219821346193440/sum_it_up.jpg

2018-02-17 02:43:09 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Where can I find statistics on how many murders are committed by illegal immigrants in the USA each year?

2018-02-17 02:43:15 UTC

somehow my Googlefu isn't good enough to find it

2018-02-17 02:46:13 UTC

This is the best I've got.

2018-02-17 02:47:23 UTC

The fact is we don't have any data because illegals are a scarcely reported on statistical group.

2018-02-17 02:47:33 UTC

Like the USSC here is the only source

The FBI is the general source I use

2018-02-17 02:51:55 UTC

But the FBI only provides race and Hispanic stats

2018-02-17 02:52:40 UTC

Likewise, many states and localities--especially sanctuary jurisdictions--do not publish stats on illegals' crimes.

2018-02-17 02:55:09 UTC

I think I remember a statistic from years ago that more Americans have been killed by illegal immigrants than have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars (over the same period of time)

2018-02-17 02:55:14 UTC

so that's why I assumed there was a statistic
