wow

2018-03-22 04:16:11 UTC

The Democrats are really getting whatever they want.

2018-03-22 04:16:19 UTC

Nothing like 2009 and 2010.

2018-03-22 04:16:30 UTC

this increases the annual rate of immigrants from this program to 66,000 a year!!!

2018-03-22 04:17:01 UTC

the House better shield against this, or this will be another GOP betrayal to immigration hawks

2018-03-22 04:17:24 UTC

๐Ÿคข

2018-03-22 04:19:30 UTC

there's literally no upside with this bill

2018-03-22 04:20:05 UTC

that $1.6 Billion for the "wall"?
That's 33 miles of existing **fencing**!

2018-03-22 04:20:14 UTC

Call your representatives!!!

2018-03-22 04:20:20 UTC

VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION

2018-03-22 04:20:40 UTC

These people are a bunch of chumps

2018-03-22 04:21:05 UTC

A bunch of dickless faggots

2018-03-22 04:21:23 UTC

We've given the left their cake plenty of times, when will we have ours?

2018-03-22 04:22:40 UTC

Sure, we got virtually nothing for the wall,
Sure, we just doubled guest worker immigration,

2018-03-22 04:22:49 UTC

Sure, we just doubled planned parenthood funding,

2018-03-22 04:23:08 UTC

but hey! we got more MILITARY SPENDING!

2018-03-22 04:23:23 UTC

That'll please the base!

2018-03-22 04:23:39 UTC

Who the fuck comes up with this shit

2018-03-22 04:24:55 UTC

Fox news fucking thinking they have ownership of what trump does and what made him win

2018-03-22 04:25:50 UTC

No one voted for Trump for raising the defense budget, no one. If the people of the rust belt wanted that, they would have voted for Romney.

2018-03-22 04:27:41 UTC

Thank fuck this bill won't pass

2018-03-22 04:29:19 UTC

Nonetheless! Don't be complicit and flood the phonelines, everybody!

2018-03-22 04:31:14 UTC

@FLanon Fox News is actually against this bill.

2018-03-22 04:31:21 UTC

Everyone opposes it.

2018-03-22 04:53:25 UTC

Does anyone have a quote of a Democrat saying something really retarded about Racial discrimination?

2018-03-22 04:53:37 UTC

Want it to title my slide

2018-03-22 04:53:42 UTC

for this presentation

2018-03-22 05:39:57 UTC

Literally all of them

2018-03-22 05:40:18 UTC

but uh

2018-03-22 06:47:55 UTC

@FLanon @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I doubt Trump will sign it

2018-03-22 06:47:56 UTC

Anyway

2018-03-22 06:48:28 UTC

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2018-03-22 06:48:39 UTC

I hope the Democrats make him their mascot for the midterms

2018-03-22 10:00:08 UTC

Democrat Conor Lamb says he has won the district that @realDonaldTrump won by almost 20 percentage points just 16 months ago https://t.co/3F7wiKJ7qY

2018-03-22 12:45:16 UTC

@trump20202024 it's dumb that they aren't doing a recount

2018-03-22 12:50:14 UTC

Traitors.

2018-03-22 13:12:17 UTC

They aren't? The margin of defeat was at like .04 last I checked

2018-03-22 13:12:35 UTC

Like 700 pple out of 223000

2018-03-22 13:13:37 UTC

Is it me or does it feel like theres a conspiracy so that the Dems get an advantage when it comes to things like this

2018-03-22 13:14:06 UTC

Theres some sort of corruption going on

2018-03-22 13:24:52 UTC

Definitely. If the Republican won you better bet your bottom dollar there would be a recount right now.

2018-03-22 14:25:13 UTC

2018-03-22 14:25:15 UTC

Show this around

2018-03-22 14:25:23 UTC

This is the future Democrats want

2018-03-22 14:48:59 UTC

@Kevin it's definitely not just you

2018-03-22 14:49:06 UTC

also, added that to the meme folder

2018-03-22 15:16:26 UTC

Im Asian

2018-03-22 15:16:53 UTC

I know Democrats are going to go after Asian Americans next

2018-03-22 15:43:25 UTC

@Kevin yeah, that's so true. Arguably they already have gone after them

2018-03-22 15:45:30 UTC

<@&399683356218097667> <@&401065606306201600> by the way, have any of you actually listened to that PA-18 Nancy Had A Little Lamb ad ?

2018-03-22 15:45:35 UTC

it's even worse than I pictured

2018-03-22 15:45:47 UTC

@Den you mentioned that this was the most common ad right??

2018-03-22 15:50:04 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ just wrote this op-ed

2018-03-22 15:50:07 UTC

read it

2018-03-22 15:51:15 UTC

I wrote it in a hurry, so if there's any errors, let me know

2018-03-22 15:57:18 UTC

Yes this add was played all the time

2018-03-22 16:04:41 UTC

@Den it's grating on the ears

2018-03-22 16:04:43 UTC

holy shit

2018-03-22 16:04:49 UTC

do you think Saccone would have won were it not for this ad

2018-03-22 16:15:22 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ good job on that article btw

2018-03-22 16:15:37 UTC

hopefully we reach a large nationwide audience and get a bully pulpit

2018-03-22 16:15:45 UTC

so that politicians (possibly even Trump) hears our advice

2018-03-22 16:31:01 UTC

Probably should have different author names for each article instead of simply "by redstorm2018" for each article

2018-03-22 16:31:24 UTC

When I return home I'll try to figure out how to configure that

2018-03-22 17:55:33 UTC

Gen Z!

2018-03-22 17:55:45 UTC

Even if 95%+ of White Gen Z Americans vote Republican, it'll still be competitive

2018-03-22 17:56:05 UTC

Gen Z is 53% Non-Hispanic White

2018-03-22 18:31:57 UTC

Not necessarily

2018-03-22 18:33:33 UTC

The white vote still is extremely significant, currently remaining at 70% of the vote share even as the white population declines. We'll need to fix the white population as a whole, of course, but if we have them vote in a bloc as the minorities do, that will put us over, easily.

2018-03-22 18:35:52 UTC

>most accepting of diversity

2018-03-22 18:35:58 UTC

>last majority white generation

2018-03-22 18:36:20 UTC

They're right about GenZ being very conservative but uh

2018-03-22 18:37:00 UTC

I doubt that white kids are that tolerant.

2018-03-22 18:37:12 UTC

At least in the South

2018-03-22 18:37:20 UTC

Anywhere really

2018-03-22 18:38:01 UTC

Whites are watching everything they've built being driven through with a wrecking ball with those doing it taunting us

2018-03-22 18:38:38 UTC

If they are "conservative", there's not a chance in hell it's the fuddy duddy ben shapiro conservatism

2018-03-22 18:38:41 UTC

Also I dunno if the younger people remember this but Obama (and McCain) accidentally radicalized a lot of us against "wealth redistribution".

2018-03-22 18:38:54 UTC

When I was like 12

2018-03-22 19:48:42 UTC

School lunches affected the youth, too.

2018-03-22 19:52:37 UTC

1930 all over again

2018-03-22 20:05:02 UTC

lol at the disclaimer

2018-03-22 20:09:23 UTC

they should warn on NYtimes videos that it's owned by a Mexican citizen

2018-03-22 20:11:43 UTC

Data from Morning Consult shows that Trump endorsements energize Democrats and depress Independents

2018-03-22 20:13:19 UTC

But as seen with Rick Saccone, his campaigning provides a boost among the Republican base.

2018-03-22 20:13:33 UTC

He's got to bring his approval up

2018-03-22 20:13:53 UTC

It's ticking up.

2018-03-22 20:14:01 UTC

Parkland really hurt us.

2018-03-22 20:14:28 UTC

But as that fades from the public's consience, the positive trends that we saw in early 2018 will come back.

2018-03-22 20:15:36 UTC

The march on Washington is this Saturday.

2018-03-22 20:15:51 UTC

The one by the parkland kids?

2018-03-22 20:15:55 UTC

Are they doing that?

2018-03-22 20:16:59 UTC

They're trying to squeeze every last political point.

2018-03-22 20:17:48 UTC

But the great public attention span will keep them away from this.

2018-03-22 20:18:36 UTC

@FLanon @Pielover19 if a shooting occurs within a month of the midterm, we're losing

2018-03-22 20:19:57 UTC

Maryland was nearly that but the resource officer got him so they cannot touch it as much.

2018-03-22 20:21:03 UTC

Any massive school shooting right before the midterms will be suspicious.

2018-03-22 20:22:50 UTC

Nah, nobody will question it

2018-03-22 20:23:22 UTC

Theyโ€™ll just go along with everything even if itโ€™s some sort of Illuminati deep state plant

2018-03-22 20:24:32 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Reuters/Ipsos has it at Democrats+3

2018-03-22 20:26:31 UTC

!

2018-03-22 20:27:49 UTC

Whatโ€™s up?

2018-03-22 20:28:59 UTC

Holy shit this is good news! Also his approval is at 44% when you just look at registers voters

2018-03-22 20:29:32 UTC

Very nice, weโ€™ll have them yet.

2018-03-22 20:29:48 UTC

Parkland canโ€™t shill us now.

2018-03-22 20:30:11 UTC

can't wait to see /r/BlueMidterm2018's reaction

2018-03-22 20:30:30 UTC

in response to the +6 poll, one of them was like "I'd feel bad about this were it not for the fact that we won in PA-18 and Alabama"

2018-03-22 20:31:12 UTC

We would win the election if it was held tomorrow.

2018-03-22 20:31:31 UTC

2018-03-22 20:31:37 UTC

So much for being on the wrong side of history.

2018-03-22 20:31:59 UTC

Like they so often claim.

2018-03-22 20:33:11 UTC

7 point RCP average?

2018-03-22 20:33:16 UTC

Hmmnmm

2018-03-22 20:34:22 UTC

Just 0.1 points less and Dems have less than 50% chance of taking the House

2018-03-22 20:35:34 UTC

Pretty whitepilling

2018-03-22 20:37:37 UTC

thing is, things can swing back up for the Dems

2018-03-22 20:37:42 UTC

like....it's still too early

2018-03-22 20:37:55 UTC

who knows how many shootings and bombings will happen before November for them to capitalize on

2018-03-22 20:38:22 UTC

Nothing matters til October

2018-03-22 20:38:43 UTC

But this shows how elastic the American electorate really is

2018-03-22 20:44:00 UTC

>yfw it's +20 Republican on November 5

2018-03-22 20:46:44 UTC

But yeah,

2018-03-22 20:47:01 UTC

We'd win if the election was held today

2018-03-22 20:51:51 UTC

@Den I think you should write an op-ed about the fact that you're friend tried to get Saccone to properly campaign, only to be dismissed, later leading to Saccone's loss

2018-03-22 20:51:56 UTC

(voter fraud or not)

2018-03-22 20:52:08 UTC

(and this is for the redstorm blog)

2018-03-22 20:55:05 UTC

My ruling on the spending bill:

2018-03-22 20:55:10 UTC

Veto worthy

2018-03-22 20:55:17 UTC

OR

2018-03-22 20:55:43 UTC

Trump should at least use signing statements to gut the bill to the extent it is necessary.

2018-03-22 21:01:25 UTC

Yeah, it's too big to fix

2018-03-22 21:03:22 UTC

Yeah, the funding for the Wall is insufficient due to its being bundled with overall border security funds.

2018-03-22 21:03:31 UTC

If it were just $1.6B for a wall outright it would be OK

2018-03-22 21:03:39 UTC

But it's $1.6B for everything

2018-03-22 21:07:26 UTC

Hmm

2018-03-22 21:07:48 UTC

I don't know much about the PA Gov race.

2018-03-22 21:08:14 UTC

Ask him the Rep Steve King question

2018-03-22 21:08:24 UTC

Re-upping. The big Ryanesque spending bill isn't as bad as I thought last night. It's worse. Forbids hiring more ICE agents. Limits detention beds, making "catch & release" more likely. Call 202 456-1111 if you want to urge Trump to veto

2018-03-22 21:08:54 UTC

Make sure to advise the candidate on how to campaign, how Saccone lost, etc

2018-03-22 21:09:25 UTC

Perhaps ask if he intends to rally potential Amish voters

2018-03-22 21:09:43 UTC

Saccone was a lazy candidate that was anti union in Pennsylvania. I dont know why the party put up such a bad candidate

2018-03-22 21:09:53 UTC

@Den yeah, emphasize the fact that Saccone ignored our advice and LOST

2018-03-22 21:10:16 UTC

that's the most important thing...oh, and TELL HIM TO TELL EVERY OTHER R POLITICIAN HE KNOWS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT CAMPAIGN LIKE SACCONE

2018-03-22 21:10:39 UTC

The issue is the Rs don't flood the fields where they should

2018-03-22 21:10:59 UTC

They should've had a good electable candidate over in IL-3, we got a neo-nazi.

2018-03-22 21:11:25 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Even worse, it actually influences America's foreign policy in a negative direction with regard to Russia; not a single Nay from the Democrats!

2018-03-22 21:11:42 UTC

so basically

1. Talk about how Saccone ignored our advice and lost, then emphasize that he shouldn't do it that way, and that he should tell all the other GOP politicians he knows to NOT campaign that way

2. The 'Steve King' question (not sure what this is

3. Rallying Amish voters

2018-03-22 21:11:57 UTC

4. the importance of Immigration as an issue to GOP voters

2018-03-22 21:11:58 UTC

These people are so stupid

2018-03-22 21:12:10 UTC

This will not get them reelected

2018-03-22 21:13:05 UTC

Target abortion actually

2018-03-22 21:13:08 UTC

The Steve King question is "Can you restore your civilization with someone else's babies?" Their answer to that lets you know if they actually want to put America First.

2018-03-22 21:13:17 UTC

They should run on a balanced budget amendment to be honest

2018-03-22 21:14:03 UTC

This is what got a lot of the current members of congress elected on the anti-obama wave in 2010, balancing the budget, stopping the national debt.

2018-03-22 21:14:58 UTC

IMO other than job creation and to a lesser extent budgetary balance, Republicans should stay silent on the state level.

2018-03-22 21:15:11 UTC

Social issues take a higher precedent, especially when they can integrate with economic issues.

2018-03-22 21:15:26 UTC

For instance, "Balance the budget by cutting abortion funding!" is actually going to be effective.

2018-03-22 21:16:18 UTC

Abortion shouldn't be overemphasized, but really, to me, immigration isn't really a state issue, even though it can be effective as John Bel Edwards proved in Louisiana.

2018-03-22 21:16:34 UTC

Yeah, but these omnibus bills where they capitulate on everything don't help them

2018-03-22 21:16:38 UTC

If you can incorporate it, do that. But you usually can't.

2018-03-22 21:16:46 UTC

For "conservatives" they sure are making a ton of concessions.

2018-03-22 21:17:14 UTC

Yeah, the budget bill is just bull.

2018-03-22 21:17:48 UTC

It's basically "Let's fund abortion to increase the deficit!"

2018-03-22 21:18:09 UTC

If you want to compromise on economic policy, do it by encouraging families and children.

2018-03-22 21:18:13 UTC

Call your reps

2018-03-22 21:18:43 UTC

This thread by the randlet sums it up pretty well:
https://twitter.com/randpaul/status/976909053870911488?s=21

2018-03-22 21:18:58 UTC

Yeah, this bill is awful.

2018-03-22 21:19:26 UTC

Why the fuck are we spending money to destroy weapons

2018-03-22 21:19:41 UTC

Yeah yeah "muh human rights" but the fuck

2018-03-22 21:20:02 UTC

We're taking away our own arms stockpile at the cost of the taxpayer

2018-03-22 21:21:44 UTC

We should've cut military spending, really

2018-03-22 21:21:48 UTC

The thing with chemical weapons is that you have to spend money to maintain or destroy them.

2018-03-22 21:22:11 UTC

Otherwise you can accidentally use them on the public

2018-03-22 21:22:35 UTC

That's fair, but in that case why develop them at all

2018-03-22 21:22:35 UTC

Some benign diseases, most notably Lyme disease, are actually believed to be the result of US chemical weapons making it out of labs.

2018-03-22 21:23:20 UTC

And the Arms Race during the Cold War involved building enormous amounts of them just in case we needed a way to destroy, say, a billion people without nukes.

2018-03-22 21:23:40 UTC

They were actually used until George H.W. Bush, basically.

2018-03-22 21:24:38 UTC

Lyme disease was basically developed to serve as a nuisance to make enemy troops unable to fight so we could capture them and torture them.

2018-03-22 21:24:53 UTC

In all likelihood

2018-03-22 21:25:33 UTC

I have no clue why Trump is putting so much money into the military, the only justifiable reason I could think of is if he's preparing to solidify control and make himself the King of America

2018-03-22 21:25:41 UTC

I wouldn't be too opposed to that tbh

2018-03-22 21:25:48 UTC

@FLanon military industrial complex

2018-03-22 21:26:08 UTC

Supposedly it's because he can't get the funding to control the border so he has to make us safe using an alternative means

2018-03-22 21:26:25 UTC

but more realistically, California has started its own navy

2018-03-22 21:26:38 UTC

They're getting into more BS with the USG.

2018-03-22 21:26:44 UTC

We might be facing a civil war.

2018-03-22 21:26:58 UTC

Hey, we'll have to see

2018-03-22 21:51:41 UTC

What

2018-03-22 21:51:48 UTC

this bill is a fucking tragedy

2018-03-22 21:51:53 UTC

Yeah.

2018-03-22 21:52:00 UTC

Seriously Blue Wave going to happen now lol, what is trump doing to run on

2018-03-22 21:52:31 UTC

wall, no
obamacare repeal, no
cutting nigger gibs, increased no

2018-03-22 21:52:39 UTC

chain migration all good to go

2018-03-22 21:52:42 UTC

Vias increased

2018-03-22 21:52:50 UTC

VETO

Whatโ€™s going on?

2018-03-22 21:53:13 UTC

I'm glad they at least ditched the even worse proposals Democrats wanted to include.

2018-03-22 21:53:19 UTC

It could've been even worse.

2018-03-22 21:53:34 UTC

But the GOP needed to pass a better bill.

2018-03-22 21:53:50 UTC

The House of Reps basically just unanimously passed a far-left budget.

2018-03-22 21:54:00 UTC

Youโ€™re kidding me?

2018-03-22 21:54:16 UTC

Come on man we were doing so good with the white pills recently

2018-03-22 21:54:16 UTC

It's even got Schumer's pet projects, but there's not enough Wall funding.

2018-03-22 21:54:30 UTC

don't look at me buddy @GermanEastAfrica

2018-03-22 21:54:31 UTC

And there's a hiring freeze for ICE

2018-03-22 21:54:38 UTC

2018-03-22 21:54:45 UTC

For today

2018-03-22 21:54:56 UTC

lol worthy disclaimer

2018-03-22 21:55:21 UTC

I know, itโ€™s just a bummer when things were looking up and now this happens.

2018-03-22 21:55:22 UTC

according to polls,

2018-03-22 21:55:25 UTC

It's also got provisions that prohibit use of funds to punish Ukraine for meddling in our elections (or doing _anything_ wrong to us)

2018-03-22 21:55:31 UTC

most Americans no longer care about the deficit

2018-03-22 21:55:43 UTC

LOl hireing freeze for ICE?

2018-03-22 21:55:46 UTC

I'm done

2018-03-22 21:55:46 UTC

And it's also got mandatory lethal aid to the Ukrainian military, amounting to a significant increase in their military budget.

2018-03-22 21:55:58 UTC

Fucking Republican Party cucks, they can never do anything but be bottom.

2018-03-22 21:56:05 UTC

Is this thing through yet or is there still time to stop it?

2018-03-22 21:56:19 UTC
2018-03-22 21:56:25 UTC

The deficit is basically a 2012 issue.

2018-03-22 21:56:31 UTC

I think that's dumb, but still, where's the wall funding, where's the cutting welfare programs? @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ

2018-03-22 21:56:50 UTC

This budget doesn't even deal with Obama-era issues.

2018-03-22 21:56:57 UTC

It only does 1980s neocon crap.

2018-03-22 21:57:02 UTC

obamacare repeal cuts?

2018-03-22 21:57:02 UTC

I don't understnad how foolish Republicans are

2018-03-22 21:57:08 UTC

if there is a shutdown,

2018-03-22 21:57:11 UTC

The Wall can be built but there's just not enough funds.

2018-03-22 21:57:13 UTC

Democrats will be blamed

2018-03-22 21:57:13 UTC

Noting happens.

2018-03-22 21:57:16 UTC

Please tell me there can at least be someway to stop this.

2018-03-22 21:57:21 UTC

Nothing happens in a shutdown lol

2018-03-22 21:57:23 UTC

2018-03-22 21:57:29 UTC
