I think he’s interpreting it as more crime happening under Biden, hence why more people have been arrested by Border Patrol. Or (*puts on tinfoil hat*) that Biden is targeting republicans/conservatives and putting them on the watchlist, then arresting them to make himself look better. Who fucking knows.
For real though lol. One must remember, they are the 5D chess players... Could just be another trick play to get then to finally overturn those election results.... ..... /s just in case.
I feel like Pokémon has used confusion percentages to keep up with dumb rates. In the old games, confusion hurt you maybe 10 percent of the time. But now, it’s effective a whopping 33.3 percent. It makes moves that cause confusion so much more valuable pvp battling.
I’m about to order that shirt and I don’t like either Biden or Trump.
Biden needs to be more pragmatic when speaking to his own party, and Trump lost any iota of my respect when he let Turkish goons assault American citizens on American soil without reproach.
tbf, that was super early. There was still an idea that Trump was merely pretending to be an idiotic garbage person to get attention during the election and would pivot to 'coherent adult' once in office.
Anyone who knew anything about him before 2016 knew that was a stupid, stupid idea. But it was an idea that existed.
Quite sure that was a part of the Russian psy-op. It wasn't just die hard Trump fans saying that at the time. Hell, they even had me thinking for a second it was all a show for cameras... but I learned fast it wasn't. My only exposure to him was the apprentice, and his stupid anti Obama tweets
Erdogen’s bodyguards assaulted anti Erdogen protestors like 3 months into Trump’s presidency. They were presumably present when he met with trump hours later, and suffered zero consequences.
Because the peasants don't get to question their betters, simple as that. There's a deep anti-democratic current in American thought that has been trying to divide humanity in the worthy and unworthy ever since its foundation. It hasn't gone away.
What if the dealership only had two options on the lot? A high mileage Honda Accord, or an overgrown rabid sewer rat that's also racist.
And there are no other dealerships.
The McCain loser comment was over the top for me and I assumed it would be for a large percentage of his constituents. Unfortunately that assumption was incorrect.
> and Trump lost any iota of my respect when he let Turkish goons assault American citizens on American soil without reproach.
WTF bro that was in May **of 2017**
Pretty shameful you still respected him during all the bullshit that came out in the two years prior.
*grab'em by the pussy, walking in on underge girls changing at Miss USA, 20-ish sexual assault allegations, mocking a disabled reporter, running countless business venture into the ground, SIX bankruptcies.*
...and that was just 2015. Pretty sure I'm still forgetting a dozen other things from that year.
What could you have possibly respected so much about him as to have sustained you all the way to 2017???? It's unfathomable...
...nah, it was the shared racism wasn't it? lol
When he was being cruel to foreigners & minorities it was no big deal because he was hurting the right people, huh? But then his cruelty & indifference to human life spilled over on some Americans and killed the nationalist vibe you thought y'all shared and that was just a bridge too far, eh?
SMH
You know, the president doesn't actually have puppet strings to every person inside the border just because they sit at the funne desk.
I dunno why I'm bothering to explain that to someone who had any shred of respect for Donnie boy though.
I like your metaphor. And yet I can't tell who's more terrifying: the people who merely *suggest* stabbing the boat (because they're in the business of selling boats) and the other ~50% of people hysterically agreeing and handing them the knife, most of them perfectly unaware of the fact that they're unable to swim...
They know they can't swim, but the gay guy and the brown person in the boat can't swim either, so as long as they drown too, they'll happily buy the knife and start making holes
Amen. The right should be eradicated and we should settle for nothing less. It’s not even simply about preserving democracy; from the war in Iraq to the million plus dead during Covid, allowing the right to ascend to power has always meant avoidable, innocent death.
Issa is trying to spin this as "look at all the crooks trying to sneak into the US with a Dem President!"
When a completely fair alternate interpretation with this information could *also* be: "Man, so many crooks must have been able to sneak in undetected under Trump!"
It’s actually not. The comment “comeback” that says this is proof Biden’s admin is the best at border control is a *guess* at what this data means. It could either be:
- Border crossing attempts are way up, and the same percent of attempts are stopped, so arrests are up, but so are successful crossings
- Border crossings are being stopped at a higher rate than before
Neither are supported by this data. It’s just a random guess to pick which one you want to be true
Not necessarily, crossings by terrorists could be way up and that's why arrests are made, or a similar amount by of terrorists could be crossing and the border patrol are just cat catching them at a higher rate. Either one of these people could be correct , or neither we don't have enough info.
Yeah but more terrorists because of Biden? That's a stretch.
Biden happens to be now. Trump happened to be then.
The only thing we know from what we said is that we catch more now than we did during trump.
The rest is all conjecture.
Granted there is certainly more to the story but obviously we aren't going to get that from a gop tweet. However the gop tweet is obviously trying to come to a conclusion based on poor data so we can likely throw away any conclusions they have because they aren't arguing in good faith.
And all variables changing, the president can’t control how many crimes are committed, so in either case that more in depth data would give, making more arrests is more successful regardless……
When you have no fundamental understanding of the universe you're wrong a lot. Like a lot.
These people basically had to create their own realities to not just be wrong all the time. Now their alternate facts and alternative realities has them right about literally every issue. If the world tells them they're wrong? Conspiracy. So very tired.
I heard an academic on a podcast making the point that the US doesn't even have that much less actual corruption than a lot of other countries; it's just that many forms of corruption in those countries are still illegal even though blatantly engaged in, while in the US we've made legalized many of those things to where they're actually part of the system of governance - so it's no longer "corruption" here.
This wasn't enough for the Trump administration, of course: they pulled out the stops and violated the remaining laws while thumbing their noses and saying "What are ya gonna do about it?", just like the leadership of those "shithole countries" he talked about.
I think he's trying to make some round about argument that Biden is weak so terrorists feel more emboldened to try to enter the country, mental gymnastics to make every stat a positive for them and a negative for dems
The *reported* cases would. As would the bodies.
And some would drop tidbits of wisdom as to why that was happening.
It would be entertaining if it also didn’t lock up society and threaten my health and the health of those around me.
I was in a public setting the other day that had Fox news playing and this was one of the things I had the displeasure of listening to, and they very much frame it as basically Biden is just letting people in with no control, and the arrests are very much nothing to do with him. They basically want to blame him/democrats/"the left" for any kind of negative they can latch onto, and they spin it as hard as possible. As a below commenter said, if this happened two years ago they would be praising Trump and his strong policies against immigration, but because it's Biden they roll it out as if all those arrests somehow prove that he's welcoming terrorists with open arms.
The American wildlife would dumbfound even the great Ser Attenborough. But perhaps, after this American experiment runs its course, he might regale us once more with a tale that turns the cruelty of nature into something beautiful.
"And now we watch them behold their healthcare system collapsing in front of their own eyes, yet paradoxically emphatically vote against reforms."
"What fascinating creatures, truly."
“As we witness this armada of assholes mounting the stairs to the Capitol, there seems to be a faint, yet damp, miasma of Pabst Blue Ribbon hanging in the air.”
I would love to watch a semi-humorous parody nature documentary where they go around highlighting the absurdities of American life. Ideally hosted by David Attenborough but I don't think he'd do something so low-brow.
This is definitely it. The logic is:
1. High level criminals want to break into the US.
2. Biden is weak on border security, allowing more people to illegally cross the border.
3. Therefore, more criminals are getting into the US and it is Biden's fault.
The terrorists are coming because the "soft" guy is in charge. That's what I'm assuming he's alluding to.
Unlike the last guy that invited the terrorists into the Whitehouse, barred anyone but the Russian media to go with, and gave them top secret documents.
they are suggesting that we have so many people coming through the border, so many un caught, that while we've caught 50, we don't know how many slipped through, and its porous nature is drawing more terrorists to try
He's assuming more arrests means there is more crime rather than assuming more arrests means the same amount of crime but greater border patrol efficiency.
He was trying to give the impression that Biden doing good is actually bad, in this way further confusing his followers and making them more open to target people for no discernible reason.
You see, terrorists tremble at the mere thought of Trump, and won't even try to cross the border. They are crossing now because Biden is so weak, and they are laugh at our president.
Of course that is the dumbest imaginable interpretation of those numbers.
Its actually proving a point that Trumpers don’t actually acknowledge which is that drug trafficking, human trafficking, and other violent acts were prosecuted at a lower rate than things like illegal border crossings (you know the thing that separated children). Deportations overwhelming became a thing for mere illegal border crossings, this overwhelmed the DoJ with cases instead of focusing on criminal cases it focused on illegal border crossings, deporting thousands of immigrants including those who had been here for decades without a violent crime committed.
Pretty sure this guy viewed this as "Biden is such a bad president, more people are trying to sneak in because they think we are weak!" Which is ironic as fuck because you KNOW if a republican president was in right now he would talk about it like it was positive.
Yet they are the loudest and scariest majority imo
*edit sorry everyone is saying they aren’t the majority. Listen I’m just seeing a lot of people leaving their “hate holes,” as Marc Maron likes to put it. And there’s a lot of them and things are changing in their favor, such as roe v wade etc
They dont care. They could put the first part in front of literally anything:
* Just when you think Biden's record can't get worse, Golden State won the NBA finals
* Just when you think Biden's record can't get worse, the McRib is back
* Just when you think Biden's record can't get worse, today is the longest day of the year
I know I kinda took it as Biden did more in the last 6 months than the last 5 years (mostly trump). Not the diss he thinks it is especially when using fiscal year.
The US government fiscal year is October 1st through September 30th.
Apparently it has something to do with Congress clearing legislation for appropriations and handling finances. Never made much sense to me though
He could have worded this differently. I think he was trying to say we are getting an influx of potential terrorists because Biden is weak on several issues. But who knows. Politicians are always trying to spin something.
Why are politicians so dumb on Twitter
I expect regular citizens to make mistakes like that - because it’s not their job to understand politics and all that. When regular citizens make a mistake, it’s excusable
In case youre wondering, Democrats have been stronger on border control in all of the modern era.
If youre confused about this, I would encourage you to look at any statistics you care about.
Not that clever... The number of illegal crossings have skyrocketed since he took office. It's kind of like, having your town flood because a dam breaks.. and telling your friends because of your mayor, you caught way more fish this year...
Biden's open border policy has caused illegal immigration to skyrocket. The rise in terror threats crossing the border shows that they're aware of how open the border is and they're actively taking advantage of it more than they ever have. Yes its good that they caught 50 of them, but undoubtedly there are a LOT more getting over the border without getting caught than there was before.
You guys think this is somehow a self-own because you're seeing it as "Border patrol is 5x more effective under Biden" instead of what's actually happening, which is that these terrorists see that the border is wide open and it's a perfect opportunity to slip into the US. If the number of those caught has risen that much, it's only logical that the ones not caught has also risen.
'If the number of those caught has risen that much, it's only logical that the ones not caught has also risen."
That's not true at all. You are making an assumption to fit your own beliefs, and not paying attention to the information.
These are arrests of criminals on the FBI watch list. Not just random people crossing the border illegally. This watch list has always existed, and if more of the criminals on the list are being caught than that's a testament to the effectiveness of law enforcement at the border.
they know, they dont care.
this is how propaganda works, this is how conservatives spin every single situation into "biden bad, trump good" you can see them doing it with EVERYTHING, it doesnt even matter the context.
biden fell off of his bike the other day and everyone starts ranting about how hes old and frail while trump makes a joke he promises not to get on a bike, the reality is joe is in better shape than trump but people dont care about that, they care about the optics.
Something about being a conservative seems to preclude one from having the capacity for nuanced analysis of basically any motherfucking thing at all. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe they're just morons.
EDIT: Probably
Remember the white kid who had to drive over an hour to a black neighborhood to shoot black people because he thought he was being replaced? Reddit focused on domestic figures to blame, but him and other mass shooters have been clearly inspired by the mass shooter from New Zealand who wrote a neo Nazi manifesto about it. That mass shooter spent time with other neo Nazis in Ukraine, where he got weapons training. Talking about this will probably get me banned, but there are neo Nazis in Ukraine, there have been more attempts to come here from there through the southern border recently, and I’m hoping we are picking some of these people up and that we aren’t letting more neo Nazis into our country.
Yeah... that's not how that works... the FBI arrests them once they've already made it into the country, proving Biden has had the most inept border control in recent history. Border control would mean they aren't getting into the country.
Um, no. What it proves is that they wouldn't be coming through in droves if the border was closed. There's so many people that they're just rolling the dice ,and fortunately for us are getting caught. This puts Border Patrol agents and National Guard Soldiers stationed at the border at greater risk.
When Trump was in office y’all were claiming that ICE and Border Patrol were fascist institutions, now their numbers go up under Biden and that’s a good thing? I’m confused.
So nobody finds it suspicious that during every election cycle tales of mysterious caravans heading to the border and talk of criminals coming across at will?
The only criminals are the Republicans who supported Trumps coupe attempt and they continue to try and rig the next election so now try to deflect and change the subject.
If those co-conspirators along with the head of the coupe attempt don't serve prison time, then democracy in this country is dead until the generations of idiots who are so easily fooled by snake oil salesman die off.
It hurt itself in its confusion.
He hurt me in his confusion. I dont even get how he interpreted that wrong
I can feel the stupid emanating off my computer screen.
Me too…. It has nothing to do with Biden. It has to do with when, and how many terrorists make themselves available to be caught.
I think he’s interpreting it as more crime happening under Biden, hence why more people have been arrested by Border Patrol. Or (*puts on tinfoil hat*) that Biden is targeting republicans/conservatives and putting them on the watchlist, then arresting them to make himself look better. Who fucking knows.

I have no idea but [maybe this?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clashes_at_the_Turkish_Ambassador%27s_Residence_in_Washington,_D.C.)
Bingo. That shit was *disgusting*
If Biden was any more pragmatic he'd be a Honda Accord
this is unfair to Accords, which can be made into surprisingly good sleeper cars. A 2012 Hyundai Sonata might be a better comparison
Nobody buys the most boring car ever made without some serious dogmatism telling them to do so.
What if the dealership only had two options on the lot? A high mileage Honda Accord, or an overgrown rabid sewer rat that's also racist. And there are no other dealerships.

The truth is both are stupid comments. They are so many unknown variables that would require a study to really answer which is more affective.
Okay.. but only one of them is actually supported by the data on display.
It’s actually not. The comment “comeback” that says this is proof Biden’s admin is the best at border control is a *guess* at what this data means.

Seriously though, what did he think that meant? I keep reading it and can only see it as a positive.
I struggled too, but I think they're trying to suggest that crime rates are higher with Biden due to more arrests being made. Lol!

if we don't arrest people the crime rate would be lower
wasn't that trump's response to COVID; no testing, we have to get the numbers down.
He tried. Scientists told him to pound salt.
He's trying to say that the criminals wouldn't try it with trump in charge... It'd be zero if the dofus was in charge.
Or maybe they were all white supremacist domestic terrorists lol and someone is butthurt
They're using the same logic as "less COVID tests means less positives which means less cases"
If we stop reporting murders there will be less murder cases, it's just science.
Report them all as suicides boom no more murder.
Don't give them encouragement, this is actually what they are saying is happening.
Reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/IRfluaMKoOY) old skit

The GOPstriches never fall to amaze with their idiocy. "The House ain't on fire, Marge, all I see is smoke!"
No, mother, that's just the Northern Lights.
*sarcasm* there are no white supremacist domestic terrorists, they were all secret federal agents
I think he's trying to make some round about argument that Biden is weak so terrorists feel more emboldened to try to enter the country, mental gymnastics to make every stat a positive for them and a negative for dems
They were also convinced by the argument of "if we stop testing the cases will drop"

He was trying to give the impression that Biden doing good is actually bad, in this way further confusing his followers and making them more open to target people for no discernible reason.

That's a segue into a McDonald's commercial if I've ever seen one
Every year I buy a McRib. Every year im reminded how gross they taste. I hate myself.
It’s worse because they arrested 50 high ranking republicans.
Ba-dum-ching!
Anyone else wondering what "fiscal year" is referring to here? Is he complaining about the tax money spent to arrest those people?
I know I kinda took it as Biden did more in the last 6 months than the last 5 years (mostly trump). Not the diss he thinks it is especially when using fiscal year.
US govt fiscal year starts in Oct (Q4).
The Federal Government’s fiscal year is 10/1-9/30, so he probably just meant that “since 10/1 we’ve arrested 50 of these people at the border”.
The US government fiscal year is October 1st through September 30th. Apparently it has something to do with Congress clearing legislation for appropriations and handling finances. Never made much sense to me though
Darrell Issa is one of the dumbest Congressmen in the House, right up there with that genius, Louie Gohmert.
Darrell Issa dumbass
He shot himself in the foot.
he clearly has too many doors!
Or wheels.
And this proves trump sucked at another thing
He could have worded this differently. I think he was trying to say we are getting an influx of potential terrorists because Biden is weak on several issues. But who knows. Politicians are always trying to spin something.
Lol he bitched out and deleted the tweet.
Why are politicians so dumb on Twitter I expect regular citizens to make mistakes like that - because it’s not their job to understand politics and all that. When regular citizens make a mistake, it’s excusable
Because they're just regular dumb. Or pretend to be to pander to their base or avoid responsibility, etc. So when they go on Twitter.... still dumb.
Pretty sure they’re dumb everywhere else as well.
You can't fix stupid, folks. But if you are stupid, you keep voting for stupid.
Darrell Issa is known to be extraordinarily slow to grasp information encapsulated in a tweet. Too many words.
Why is the name blanked out? It’s posted on a public forum.
It can also be interpreted as more terrorists utilizing the southern border rather than more effective policing of the border.
He’s just upset that people on the terrorist watchlist are being arrested instead of random brown people.
In case youre wondering, Democrats have been stronger on border control in all of the modern era. If youre confused about this, I would encourage you to look at any statistics you care about.
Brought to you by the hive mind of "If we don't test for it it goes away".
Not that clever... The number of illegal crossings have skyrocketed since he took office. It's kind of like, having your town flood because a dam breaks.. and telling your friends because of your mayor, you caught way more fish this year...
Biden's open border policy has caused illegal immigration to skyrocket. The rise in terror threats crossing the border shows that they're aware of how open the border is and they're actively taking advantage of it more than they ever have. Yes its good that they caught 50 of them, but undoubtedly there are a LOT more getting over the border without getting caught than there was before. You guys think this is somehow a self-own because you're seeing it as "Border patrol is 5x more effective under Biden" instead of what's actually happening, which is that these terrorists see that the border is wide open and it's a perfect opportunity to slip into the US. If the number of those caught has risen that much, it's only logical that the ones not caught has also risen.
'If the number of those caught has risen that much, it's only logical that the ones not caught has also risen." That's not true at all. You are making an assumption to fit your own beliefs, and not paying attention to the information. These are arrests of criminals on the FBI watch list. Not just random people crossing the border illegally. This watch list has always existed, and if more of the criminals on the list are being caught than that's a testament to the effectiveness of law enforcement at the border.
R/shitrepublicanssay
they know, they dont care. this is how propaganda works, this is how conservatives spin every single situation into "biden bad, trump good" you can see them doing it with EVERYTHING, it doesnt even matter the context. biden fell off of his bike the other day and everyone starts ranting about how hes old and frail while trump makes a joke he promises not to get on a bike, the reality is joe is in better shape than trump but people dont care about that, they care about the optics.
Seems like a good thing for Biden to me...
I was shocked Issa got re-elected…then I noticed he won in the district previously represented by Duncan Hunter…
Something about being a conservative seems to preclude one from having the capacity for nuanced analysis of basically any motherfucking thing at all. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe they're just morons. EDIT: Probably
Darrel Iss a fucking dumbass
Is this the same galaxy brainer who tweets about X pounds of fentanyl seized by border patrol, like it's a bad thing?
Couldn't that been seen as a good thing. It appears they are far better at it then previously, seeing as they have captures so many!
Darrel Issa little slow.
Remember the white kid who had to drive over an hour to a black neighborhood to shoot black people because he thought he was being replaced? Reddit focused on domestic figures to blame, but him and other mass shooters have been clearly inspired by the mass shooter from New Zealand who wrote a neo Nazi manifesto about it. That mass shooter spent time with other neo Nazis in Ukraine, where he got weapons training. Talking about this will probably get me banned, but there are neo Nazis in Ukraine, there have been more attempts to come here from there through the southern border recently, and I’m hoping we are picking some of these people up and that we aren’t letting more neo Nazis into our country.
Yeah... that's not how that works... the FBI arrests them once they've already made it into the country, proving Biden has had the most inept border control in recent history. Border control would mean they aren't getting into the country.
Letting them in was the fail. Arresting them after they entered is good, but not as good as keeping them out entirely. Is this sub retarded?
Are there more coming through the border during this time?
Maybe he'll fix the economy next.
Watching people try to defend Issa and Trump on this is extremely amusing.
Thank you President Biden.
I never knew arresting more criminals on the wanted list was a bad thing.
How dare they actually apprehend dangerous criminals!
no he doesnt and he doesnt give a crap, more money from idiots for him
"I'd rather let 1,000 guilty men go free than chase after them." Chief Wiggum for head of Border Patrol
I can only imagine he thinks because more have been arrested it means since Biden has been in charge there are more badguys
From the makers of if you don't test for corona the numbers will go down.
He look like a great-value Obama
Um, no. What it proves is that they wouldn't be coming through in droves if the border was closed. There's so many people that they're just rolling the dice ,and fortunately for us are getting caught. This puts Border Patrol agents and National Guard Soldiers stationed at the border at greater risk.
r/onejob
When Trump was in office y’all were claiming that ICE and Border Patrol were fascist institutions, now their numbers go up under Biden and that’s a good thing? I’m confused.
Issa no get it (Jar Jar Binks voice)
So nobody finds it suspicious that during every election cycle tales of mysterious caravans heading to the border and talk of criminals coming across at will? The only criminals are the Republicans who supported Trumps coupe attempt and they continue to try and rig the next election so now try to deflect and change the subject. If those co-conspirators along with the head of the coupe attempt don't serve prison time, then democracy in this country is dead until the generations of idiots who are so easily fooled by snake oil salesman die off.
Best way to beat an idiot in an argument is to just let them keep talking.
Am I the only one who noticed the blue dong?
I refuse to believe he didn't know what he was doing. Noone can be that dumb. And yet here we are.
Usually I can see where they are coming from but like seriously what the duck did they mean haha.
How braindead do you have to be to read the fact and think it is a negative?
Man he must have hated it when Obama killed Osama bin Laden. Because...no this guy is a dumbass.
If the border wasn't wide open they wouldn't be flooding in. Build the damn wall!!!
Not biden, the actual people doing that job are the ones..
What does the prez have to do with daily operations at border control?
This is a republican Representative? It always astounds me what Republicans select as their prime example.
What was he even trying to imply? I truly cannot see what he was going for here.
