Wh- how does the CIA benefit from this, exactly?

2018-12-12 07:25:26 UTC  

"overhead cameras showed a bunch of men loading guns into the back of a Black SUV"

2018-12-12 07:26:03 UTC  

Said Alex Jones lol

2018-12-12 07:26:32 UTC  

I'm sure I'll get hate for that one

2018-12-12 07:26:43 UTC  

Turning the freaking frogs gay

2018-12-12 07:27:14 UTC  

Gay, no. Turning them into some weird trans amalgamation lol

2018-12-12 07:28:18 UTC  

What I've been able to derive from the 12 times I've debated that tired argument was that the CIA shot up the school then framed the kid who skipped class in order to fuel the gun control narrative and convince Americans to disarm themselves and welcome in the New World Order

2018-12-12 07:28:37 UTC  

Okay

2018-12-12 07:28:40 UTC  

So the CIA did this

2018-12-12 07:28:52 UTC  

No one else saw anything like a CIA kill squad

2018-12-12 07:28:53 UTC  

That's what they tell me

2018-12-12 07:29:13 UTC  

Cameras, apparently, caught this non-existent kill squad on tape

2018-12-12 07:29:34 UTC  

And they just happened to find him with a weapon fitting that description

2018-12-12 07:29:35 UTC  

Alone

2018-12-12 07:29:46 UTC  

Running from police

2018-12-12 07:29:52 UTC  

No, they didn't catch the squad, they just saw the squad putting their equipment away

2018-12-12 07:30:02 UTC  

Sure.

2018-12-12 07:30:11 UTC  

Brb

2018-12-12 07:30:24 UTC  

Have to get a rag to clean up all the sarcasm I just dripped everywhere

2018-12-12 07:30:31 UTC  

😃

2018-12-12 07:30:35 UTC  

X3

2018-12-12 07:31:16 UTC  

and no, none of the people that have claimed that were wearing mirrored sunglasses and a red Mack hat

2018-12-12 07:31:30 UTC  

I think I missed that reference lol

2018-12-12 07:32:12 UTC  

see: <#266396659062145025>

2018-12-12 07:34:38 UTC  

anyway, it's 0130 in Wisconsin, so I need to go to bed

2018-12-12 07:35:59 UTC  

It's 2:30 here. :3

2018-12-12 10:39:11 UTC  

Hahahaha Ben saying its normal to want your children to be straight is probably one of his greatest moments on the show

2018-12-12 10:39:38 UTC  

Just listened to that in the car.

2018-12-12 10:41:16 UTC  

Nice. Some might say well no shit, that's obvious. But if you know how triggering that is to someone on the left, it is like top tier truth bombs

2018-12-12 10:42:09 UTC  

Rational thoughts aren't their strong suits...

2018-12-12 10:43:24 UTC  

I like how he manages to completely keep religion out of arguments where religion is obviously one, if not the main component for him and still gets hate for it!

2018-12-12 10:47:02 UTC  

Right. He's talented at it. I personally don't adjust myself that way, because I don't want to appeal to anyone's sensibilities for the sake of convincing them my belief is correct. I just speak the truth

2018-12-12 10:48:47 UTC  

It's also important to note he's a business man

2018-12-12 10:49:33 UTC  

I get that and I used the same approach for a long time.
The reason why I switched to try and make secular arguments is to not be shut down with the "your guy in the sky bullshit" comments.
It is usually possible to make a coherent argument without introducing religion in the conversation.

2018-12-12 10:50:59 UTC  

He sure is a businessman. Sometimes he has to do some mental gymnastics on his program to fit his advertisers in with his ideas he is communicating 😃

2018-12-12 10:51:12 UTC  

Well to be fair once they say the guy in the sky, they already lost. And yeah I have conversations all the time like that and agree with people all the time without it being contingent on my first principles

2018-12-12 10:51:25 UTC  

Not always doing it very convincingly one might add.

2018-12-12 10:51:34 UTC  

LOL true. But I don't say it to call him out on it, I appreciate Ben all the same

2018-12-12 10:53:15 UTC  

He sometimes loses me on his Israel arguments although I am firmly in his camp on that matter.

2018-12-12 10:55:28 UTC  

I can see through his arguments on Israel, and can see his side on some points vs. Palestine. But simultaneously a lot of people lose me in their arguments against Israel. The same reason why Ben loses me sometimes is the same thing his opponents fall victim to in discussions

2018-12-12 10:57:45 UTC  

I am reading a book right now that Ben recommended a while back that's quiet good on the Israel-Arab conflict.
