We're getting the wall boys.

@John O - All American Sistine Chapel.

@Asatru Artist - MD Make an oil painting of that post.

Ugh I hope this is not just all talk.

Trumpolini is starting to disappoint this week.

I doubt it.

Doubt it will be built

LOL Trump just called Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) "Little Adam Schitt" in a tweet.

No way

@ExternalPepsi yeah I'm starting to wonder if Trump has any goals at all. So many things he could literally EO.

Holy cow

What a great tweet.

IKR? HAHAHAHA!

t right next to f on a qwerty keyboard

God I hope it was intentional

that's the irony of it. Trump does it on purpose, man.

Lmfao

Yeah that has to be purposeful. We'll see if he deletes though. Sadly, the checkmarks of twitter might be correct that Mueller was confirmed in the Senate but I'm not 100%.

He was confirmed as FBI director in 2001. Not the same.

Right

But, you know, lefties will grasp onto that technicality.

Otherwise we could say: "Kavanaugh didn't need a 2nd Senate confirmation for SCOTUS, because he was confirmed to the Senate as a district judge."

Different (or higher) jobs need new confirmation, sorry checkmarks. You're wrong, Trump is right (again)!

Just like how Congress has to confirm every new star a General is nominated for.

Good points.

@Grossly Incandescent The gumball guy is cool, but everyone should have a basic version of this argument memorized since it's so simple and effective. The way @NateDahl76 summarized it was well said, though there's other ways to explain it, too.

It's probably one of the strongest arguments we have, because it breaks the frame. Generally both sides in the immigration debate argue assuming that allowing immigration does help people from the third world, it's just a question of whether it's worth it for us.

It's especially effective combined with the brain drain argument. Not only are we doing nothing to alleviate poverty, but we're making it worse. This really messes with them.

All well and good... but when was the last time you argued with a leftist who was arguing in good faith?

The only people you can really reach are people that want to be

What did they mean by this?

(and no, I didn't bring IE stickers)

@Recombined Last time I argued with a leftist who was arguing in good faith was probably in class this quarter. I mean, their arguments are shitty, but I wouldn't say it's bad faith.

Leftists who argue in good faith aren't leftists. They're apolitical people who go with the flow.

Interesting. I've found genuine far leftists to be easier to speak to than NPCs a lot of the time.

Literal invasion
