Weโ€™re practically doing the lefts job for them

2018-07-27 00:11:06 UTC

Why canโ€™t the Republican Party not do something retarded for once

2018-07-27 02:40:57 UTC

@NormieCamo Best day of my life.

2018-07-27 02:44:29 UTC

what? @[Lex]

2018-07-27 02:44:41 UTC

Catch-and-release is my favourite policy.

2018-07-27 02:46:36 UTC

Give us a run down on what you've been analysing thus far.

2018-07-27 02:46:40 UTC

I sent your messages earlier.

2018-07-27 02:46:55 UTC

Nuke @ everyone to alert people of this disaster.

2018-07-27 02:48:13 UTC

Okay folks

2018-07-27 02:48:21 UTC

before I was so rudely interrupted

2018-07-27 02:48:23 UTC

We use <#432618126295695380> now.

2018-07-27 02:48:26 UTC

Move.

2018-07-27 02:48:59 UTC

If it's politically related then post here.

2018-07-27 02:49:08 UTC

Correct.

2018-07-27 02:49:31 UTC

Okay

2018-07-27 02:49:33 UTC

it is

2018-07-27 02:50:29 UTC

So Representative Yoder of Kansas' 3rd congressional district,

2018-07-27 02:51:15 UTC

(who Trump endorsed along with his plan)
introduced an amendment that would bar DHS from using new rule ending "credible fear" findings for those fearing abuse or gangs (which aren't eligible for asylum)

2018-07-27 02:51:54 UTC

That's a disaster. There's a huge amount of people who claim that from El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico etc.

2018-07-27 02:51:58 UTC

They're riddled with gangs.

2018-07-27 02:52:17 UTC

It would allow up to 32M+ central americans to claim asylum in the US

2018-07-27 02:52:34 UTC

and that's not all that's in this spending bill,

2018-07-27 02:52:42 UTC

Why such a huge reversal when just a few weeks ago they were separating children

2018-07-27 02:52:46 UTC

๐Ÿšจ Yoder's amendment to the DHS Bill does the following: ๐Ÿšจ

>Gives Indians an increase from 7% to 15% of Green Cards each year, meaning there will be DOUBLE the number of them becoming permanent residents EVERY YEAR

>Increase the number of H2-B visa holders from Central America from 66,000 to 200,000 PER YEAR

>Increase the number of H1-B visas to 2 Million PER YEAR

This is the largest increase in immigration numbers in US history in a single year.

2018-07-27 02:53:01 UTC

This probably was already posted, I believe

2018-07-27 02:53:26 UTC

It was

2018-07-27 02:53:46 UTC

Lex already posted it I believe

2018-07-27 02:53:47 UTC

Indians also tend to vote 80-85% Democrat also.

2018-07-27 02:54:01 UTC

Kansas-03 is very vulnerable also.

2018-07-27 02:54:14 UTC

So basically we have to rely on Trump declining the bill?

2018-07-27 02:54:17 UTC

Ringing up Congress is key where this is concerned too.

2018-07-27 02:54:22 UTC

Reminder

2018-07-27 02:54:34 UTC

Trump hasn't vetoed a single bill thus far in his presidency

2018-07-27 02:54:45 UTC

And again,

2018-07-27 02:54:52 UTC

Trump endorsed Yoder and his plan

2018-07-27 02:54:59 UTC

MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN FUCKING WEEK FOLKS

2018-07-27 02:55:06 UTC

You know why he endorsed it?

2018-07-27 02:55:09 UTC

why

2018-07-27 02:55:11 UTC

back for less than 10 mins and already blackpilling

2018-07-27 02:55:15 UTC

Your mom

2018-07-27 02:55:31 UTC

This isn't blackpilling. This is important conversation about a serious threat.

2018-07-27 02:55:32 UTC

Because the bill includes a measly $5 billion for 500 of border wall funding

2018-07-27 02:55:39 UTC

that's right

2018-07-27 02:55:48 UTC

That's apparently okay enough for Trump

2018-07-27 02:55:55 UTC

And by the way,

2018-07-27 02:55:56 UTC

Lex,

2018-07-27 02:56:02 UTC

it's not even real border wall funding

2018-07-27 02:56:07 UTC

I'm aware.

2018-07-27 02:56:07 UTC

Hi aware., I'm Dad!

2018-07-27 02:56:10 UTC

it's just more fencing

2018-07-27 02:56:13 UTC

It's refurbishment of an existing fence, no?

2018-07-27 02:56:30 UTC

Trump is still barred from building a wall based on any of the protoypes

2018-07-27 02:56:58 UTC

Even if he secured the funds, he legally couldn't build the wall

2018-07-27 02:57:19 UTC

It's important that the immigration hawk remains a constant pressure on the GOP or they will screw us all. I feel that's why Trump is throwing distracting bread crumbs like talking about the illegality of shadow banning Republicans on Twitter.

2018-07-27 02:57:51 UTC

To be honest with the man you canโ€™t predict the manโ€™s action until he does it

2018-07-27 02:58:10 UTC

Well

2018-07-27 02:58:12 UTC

Even this server stands for anything, it should stand for providing political news to individuals so they can contact their representatives if there's a crisis afoot./

2018-07-27 02:58:18 UTC

I don't think it's worth the risk

2018-07-27 02:58:30 UTC

You think a gust of wind is a hurricane

2018-07-27 02:58:36 UTC

Gust of wind?

2018-07-27 02:59:06 UTC

Let me clarify something

2018-07-27 02:59:07 UTC

This isn't a minor political loss if it passes.

2018-07-27 02:59:12 UTC

If this is signed into law,

2018-07-27 02:59:20 UTC

This is demographically significant.

2018-07-27 02:59:23 UTC

He hasn't said anything about it

2018-07-27 02:59:28 UTC

This would be the BIGGEST Immigration increase since George HW Bush

2018-07-27 02:59:28 UTC

He proly wont

2018-07-27 02:59:42 UTC

Remember the 1990 Immigration Act?

2018-07-27 02:59:50 UTC

Fuck me dude if I wanted to be lectured I would go back to school

2018-07-27 02:59:58 UTC

Lecture?

2018-07-27 03:00:09 UTC

I understand, I was talking about your general attitude

2018-07-27 03:00:12 UTC

I'm informing you of the consequences if you stand idly by!

2018-07-27 03:00:12 UTC

Hi informing you of the consequences if you stand idly by!, I'm Dad!

2018-07-27 03:00:16 UTC

He's just telling you what's moving through Congress.

2018-07-27 03:00:34 UTC

We need to ramp up calls on Capitol Hill

2018-07-27 03:00:37 UTC

I know whatโ€™s passing through and the consequences

2018-07-27 03:01:12 UTC

I'm certain very few knew about this before BUtton notified me.

2018-07-27 03:01:13 UTC

Hi certain very few knew about this before BUtton notified me., I'm Dad!

2018-07-27 03:01:39 UTC

Button hasn't even done anything to merit that, whoever changed his name. Give the guy the ability to redeem himself.

2018-07-27 03:01:47 UTC

I have a list of all the House Republicans in the committee that voted for this amendment

2018-07-27 03:01:58 UTC

They're the ones we need to threaten to vote out of office,

2018-07-27 03:02:06 UTC

Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, New Jersey, Chairman
Harold Rogers, Kentucky
Robert B. Aderholt, Alabama
Kay Granger, Texas
Michael K. Simpson, Idaho
John Abney Culberson, Texas
Ken Calvert, California
Tom Cole, Oklahoma
Mario Diaz-Balart, Florida
Tom Graves, Georgia
Kevin Yoder, Kansas
Steve Womack, Arkansas
Jeff Fortenberry, Nebraska
Thomas J. Rooney, Florida
Charles J. Fleischmann, Tennessee
Jaime Herrera Beutler, Washington
David P. Joyce, Ohio
David G. Valadao, California
Andy Harris, MD, Maryland

Chris Stewart, Utah
David Young, Iowa
Evan H. Jenkins, West Virginia
Steven Palazzo, Mississippi
Dan Newhouse, Washington
John R. Moolenaar, Michigan
Scott Taylor, Virginia
John Rutherford, Florida

2018-07-27 03:02:38 UTC

Simpson voted for it? Disappointing.

2018-07-27 03:02:55 UTC

Ah, I can't pin anymore. Wonderful.

2018-07-27 03:03:42 UTC

Got to love the revoked mod status

2018-07-27 03:04:37 UTC

I remember I was told by a certain someone that it was good that Trump endorsed Martha Roby

2018-07-27 03:04:47 UTC
2018-07-27 03:05:14 UTC

Maybe, you shouldn't prop up people who voted against you in the general election

2018-07-27 03:05:22 UTC

Ah, you're right. Roby's one of them.

2018-07-27 03:06:30 UTC

@[Lex] wait what happened?

2018-07-27 03:06:34 UTC

2018-07-27 03:07:44 UTC

Keep it to the correct channels, folks.

2018-07-27 03:10:08 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Thoughts on the extent by which Kemp won in Georgia?

2018-07-27 03:10:14 UTC

I'd imagine you're quite happy about that, no?

2018-07-27 03:11:10 UTC

keep it in offtopic, not this channel

2018-07-27 03:11:44 UTC

This has turned into hell

2018-07-27 03:13:00 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Thankfully Freitas has also endorsed Stewart.

2018-07-27 03:13:21 UTC

And reproved individuals who said they want to vote third party.

2018-07-27 03:14:53 UTC

GOP is now the party of Trumpism,

2018-07-27 03:15:08 UTC

hopefully Trumpism is about actual ideas, not a personality cult

2018-07-27 03:15:19 UTC

Nevertheless, very good news about Kemp

2018-07-27 03:15:22 UTC

Well, Moore winning is evidence against the cult.

2018-07-27 03:15:38 UTC

But then again, Trump repeatedly endorses establishmentarians and people flock to his target.

2018-07-27 03:15:49 UTC

Very bad stuff

2018-07-27 03:15:53 UTC

I can understand NY-11

2018-07-27 03:16:01 UTC

because it could be vulnerable

2018-07-27 03:16:03 UTC

But AL-02?

2018-07-27 03:16:14 UTC

it'll never go Democratic

2018-07-27 03:16:19 UTC

Why endorse a Never Trumper?

2018-07-27 03:16:23 UTC

He probably feared the ex-Democrat flipping and returning to his ideological roots.

2018-07-27 03:16:48 UTC

+ Martha Roby has a very strong voting record in terms of its alignment with Trump/

2018-07-27 03:16:55 UTC

but her committee votes were obviously a different story.

2018-07-27 03:17:18 UTC

Once a Never Trumper, always a Never Trumper

2018-07-27 03:17:29 UTC

Moore lost because of blacks and the accusations

2018-07-27 03:17:43 UTC

*allegations

2018-07-27 03:17:59 UTC

That's right.

2018-07-27 03:17:59 UTC

We lost Alabama because Mo Brooks' nomination was sunk by McConnell and Trump

2018-07-27 03:18:12 UTC

Mo Brooks was the right guy the whole time

2018-07-27 03:18:29 UTC

Brooks was definitely the best choice. Educated, deeply conservative, no history of sexual misbehaviour.

2018-07-27 03:18:45 UTC

Without the baggage of Luther Strange's establishment ties.

2018-07-27 03:20:33 UTC

I'm concerned Trump will endorse Colyer over Kris Kobach in Kansas

2018-07-27 03:20:33 UTC

Hi concerned Trump will endorse Colyer over Kris Kobach in Kansas, I'm Dad!

2018-07-27 03:20:41 UTC

Because he's the incumbent

2018-07-27 03:21:09 UTC

Well, the Kansas Senate leader endorsed Kobach.

2018-07-27 03:21:23 UTC

I hope to the lord he endorses Kobach.

2018-07-27 03:21:26 UTC

Trump has stayed out of it so far,

2018-07-27 03:21:33 UTC

Because Marc Short told him not to intervene

2018-07-27 03:22:18 UTC

Short's leaving the WH however.

2018-07-27 03:23:06 UTC

Thank God

2018-07-27 03:23:18 UTC

New:

2018-07-27 03:23:35 UTC

Fresh outline about the DHS bill from NumbersUSA

2018-07-27 03:24:00 UTC

Miller needs to slam this on the desk of Trump immediately.

2018-07-27 03:24:34 UTC

>Trump endorses you in the primary

2018-07-27 03:24:39 UTC
2018-07-27 03:24:44 UTC

I want you

2018-07-27 03:24:45 UTC

>still undermine Trump

2018-07-27 03:25:28 UTC

Oh, it'd make no difference. Kansas-03 is very vulnerable. If Trump didn't endorse him, it'd flip.

2018-07-27 03:25:44 UTC

At least, that'd be Trump's rationale.

2018-07-27 05:54:10 UTC

Kansas primaries on August 7th

2018-07-27 05:54:29 UTC

Remember to vote for Kris Kobach for the GOP nomination for Governor

2018-07-27 05:54:50 UTC

Also

2018-07-27 05:55:04 UTC

if you live in Kansas-03, vote for Yoder's primary opponent

2018-07-27 05:55:36 UTC

ignore Trump's endorsement, he doesn't have his head on straight in this matter

2018-07-27 06:05:07 UTC

It'll flip if he loses the incumbency adv.

2018-07-27 06:10:02 UTC

Hopefully the leftist democrat candidate backed by Sanders and Ocasio-Despacito wins

2018-07-27 06:13:20 UTC

"Ocasio-Despacito"

2018-07-27 06:13:23 UTC

Lmao irl

2018-07-27 14:23:45 UTC

Hold up

2018-07-27 14:23:57 UTC
2018-07-27 14:24:08 UTC

B. The deal was not to let Zak back in

2018-07-27 14:24:12 UTC

Just Button

Do we keep Zak in? That was not the deal at all, we only promised to let Button in.

2018-07-27 15:03:16 UTC

Fact: since '92, the president's party has batted *zero* for 23 trying to defend open House seats the president failed to carry two years earlier.

In '18, Rs are defending 8 open Clinton-won CDs (a third of what Dems need)

2018-07-27 15:08:11 UTC

That's gonna change, I think.

2018-07-27 15:08:52 UTC

Which one(s) will they hold

2018-07-27 15:58:53 UTC

BASED Black guy in a mAgA hat

2018-07-27 16:08:06 UTC

WE HAVE TO GET THE BASED BLACK VOTE

2018-07-27 16:11:34 UTC

Why do we even have Button Again?

2018-07-27 16:14:01 UTC

I doubt blacks will vote for James

2018-07-27 16:14:23 UTC

He is probably more effective at getting liberal white votes

2018-07-27 16:14:53 UTC

I doubt most people know what the Glass-Stegall Act does but I feel like its a good policy to discuss

2018-07-27 16:15:47 UTC

I donโ€™t think the economy is healthy at all and I think there will be another crash soon

2018-07-27 16:17:32 UTC

Oh hi ShareBlue hows it going

2018-07-27 16:22:02 UTC

Good afternoon everyone

2018-07-27 16:26:00 UTC

James is the best guy for that state

2018-07-27 16:27:25 UTC

With Kid Rock campaigning for him and Trump's endorsement, he has a healthy chance of winning it. If he gets like 20% of the black vote in a state like MI where dem support is mainly concentrated in Detroit, I think he'll win it.

2018-07-27 16:28:50 UTC

I also think it'll be an interesting litmus test for how the black vote shifts when there's a white dem vs a black R, they'll always still vote Dem, of course, but the amount it shifts could be an interesting thing to consider for the future.

2018-07-27 16:29:43 UTC

nope

2018-07-27 16:29:48 UTC

won't get higher than 15%

2018-07-27 16:30:04 UTC

And by the way

2018-07-27 16:30:11 UTC

You can't trust Blacks in the GOP

2018-07-27 16:30:19 UTC

no matter how "Based" they seem

2018-07-27 16:30:22 UTC

Remember Tim Scott

2018-07-27 16:30:31 UTC

remember Clarence Thomas

2018-07-27 16:30:35 UTC

And how he sunk Trump's judicial nomination because of muh racism

2018-07-27 16:30:51 UTC

and also because

2018-07-27 16:30:51 UTC

Still better than Stabenow

2018-07-27 16:30:55 UTC

of YOUR esteemed Senator

2018-07-27 16:31:42 UTC

So what do you guys think of NK returning the remains of US soldiers

2018-07-27 16:31:52 UTC

Good stuff

2018-07-27 16:31:58 UTC

It's a step in the right direction

2018-07-27 16:32:22 UTC

But it's a win for BLONALD FRUUMPF

2018-07-27 16:32:41 UTC

Having a proper treaty with major oversight is what we need, these political victories are good though

2018-07-27 16:32:44 UTC

Dave from the auto plant in Michigan that risks being shut down doesn't care about North Korea @ThatRightWingFish

2018-07-27 16:32:59 UTC

For fuck's sake man.

2018-07-27 16:33:06 UTC

Take good news for once

2018-07-27 16:33:17 UTC

I'll celebrate when the wall is built

2018-07-27 16:33:24 UTC

Hey,

2018-07-27 16:33:45 UTC

I also celebrated in news of the tariffs and Kavanaugh being appointed

2018-07-27 16:33:48 UTC

I'm being fair here

2018-07-27 16:33:48 UTC

Hi being fair here, I'm Dad!

2018-07-27 16:33:50 UTC

Can we just kick Button out again? Seriously?

2018-07-27 16:34:11 UTC

Just be quiet

2018-07-27 16:34:36 UTC

So is returning US soldier remains a bad thing then?

2018-07-27 16:34:46 UTC

Should we scoff at every bit of good news we get?

2018-07-27 16:34:55 UTC

it's nothing-tier news

2018-07-27 16:34:59 UTC

Anyways, I'm glad Trump hasn't stopped tightening the sanctions on the Norks, that's key. You don't stop the chokehold until they give you what you want.

2018-07-27 16:35:02 UTC

It's good optics.

2018-07-27 16:37:44 UTC

The Norks are making concessions, it bodes well

2018-07-27 16:39:31 UTC

Sure, NK might not be an issue every American cares about but if he resolves this, his approval rating will go up.

2018-07-27 16:39:59 UTC

You know,

2018-07-27 16:40:02 UTC

Of course there are other important issues but NK is extra

2018-07-27 16:40:10 UTC

I have a feeling every American has made up their mind about Trump

2018-07-27 16:40:24 UTC

His approval hasn't budged in light of every bit of good and bad news

2018-07-27 16:41:08 UTC

89% Approval among Republicans,

2018-07-27 16:41:13 UTC

11% among Democrats

2018-07-27 16:41:15 UTC

Didn't his approval shoot up massively after the Korea thing? So it's not fair to say it's simply nothing-tier news

2018-07-27 16:41:32 UTC

62% of Americans believe NK will never denuclearize

2018-07-27 16:41:53 UTC

If he can get it done, that will go a long way in surprising people and raising approval

2018-07-27 16:42:53 UTC

I still think this all has to do with his personal conduct

2018-07-27 16:43:59 UTC

Me: Don't you think Trump is right when he talks about [this issue]?
Wife: It doesn't matter if he's right. It's the WAY he says it, he's not saying it right

2018-07-27 16:44:21 UTC

Well if a person with his conduct can achieve something like that that presidents that are all professional couldn't for 25 years, it goes a long way to legitimizing him.

2018-07-27 16:44:23 UTC

Trump's approval was the highest it ever was directly after the Korea summit

2018-07-27 16:44:35 UTC

according to Gallup weekly approval

2018-07-27 16:45:01 UTC

you have to look at the polling averages tho

2018-07-27 16:45:02 UTC

And that was....

2018-07-27 16:45:02 UTC

"I may not like the way he talks, but he's gotten stuff done when the professional presidents couldn't, maybe there's something to it."

2018-07-27 16:45:43 UTC

People can chalk a lot up to luck when it comes to Trump, North Korea is not one of them, neither is trade.

2018-07-27 16:45:44 UTC

Has it been 5 Presidents that have encountered this situation with NK?

2018-07-27 16:46:19 UTC

Oh did hear this news about Tim Ryan from Ohio considering running in 2020

2018-07-27 16:46:22 UTC

Since Clinton, pretty much

2018-07-27 16:46:58 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ best Democratic bet honestly

2018-07-27 16:47:04 UTC

yes

2018-07-27 16:47:13 UTC

Him and Conor Lamb pose the most threat

2018-07-27 16:47:40 UTC

They can talk to the Trump base, like other can't

2018-07-27 16:47:42 UTC

Like the democrats would nominate a white male

2018-07-27 16:48:36 UTC

Yeah if they would smart, they'd go Ryan/Lamb or Lamb/Ryan.

2018-07-27 16:48:37 UTC

They won't.

2018-07-27 16:49:07 UTC

They'll probably do some McGovern shit and give the nom to Bernie

2018-07-27 16:49:09 UTC

I think most Dems realize that they are becoming a little out of touch with the WWC and Whites in general.

2018-07-27 16:49:14 UTC

Itโ€™ll be some spic/negro lady with Elizabeth Warren

2018-07-27 16:49:20 UTC

Oh Bernie could win

2018-07-27 16:49:26 UTC

Eh

2018-07-27 16:49:35 UTC

If he doesnโ€™t kick the bucket first

2018-07-27 16:49:50 UTC

Imagine a Sanders/Cortez ticket

2018-07-27 16:50:06 UTC

Bernie wouldn't win

2018-07-27 16:50:21 UTC

Wonโ€™t happen, and even so there are enough moderate dems as to where that wouldnโ€™t be successful

2018-07-27 16:50:22 UTC

Bernie had strong showing in the Northeast and Midwest tho

2018-07-27 16:50:24 UTC

I think people would just be scared of the word socialism

2018-07-27 16:50:30 UTC

I don't give a fuck what the opinion polls say, he wouldn't.
