"Fake Trending??" WTF?

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 19:06 (five years ago)

After his son Eric, the only child still willing to visit the old man on his birthday, had wheeled his chair into the corner, so as to better avoid the stomach-churning sight of the balding lump of orange flesh slurping the lumpy tapioca pudding, the old man began to weep and muttered plaintively into his lap, "fake... pudding... fake.... pudding."

They clearly placed all their hopes in Rowdy Rudy's laptop scheme, and there is no Plan B.

"has come at an opportune time for the president."

Lol yeah amazing that a bullshit attempt to smear his opponent that his team fabricated came at an opportune time!

The fact that most people in the media didn't fall for the EXACT SAME BULLSHIT he pulled with Hilary's emails is encouraging. "Oh gee just weeks before election a scandal about his opponent's emails surfaces, far enough out to effect election but not enough for it to be formally discredited. Again. What are the odds??" Jfc of that had worked…

BREAKING: Trump does not know Miles Taylor, but he should be in jail.

Trump already tweeted about him when he started publicly criticizing the administration a couple of months ago:

Many thousands of people work for our government. With that said, a former DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE named Miles Taylor, who I do not know (never heard of him), said he left & is on the open arms Fake News circuit. Said to be a real “stiff”. They will take anyone against us!

Early vote over 75 million -- given projections of a vote total at/around 150 million, might as well call this a tentative 50% line that's been crossed.

I really feel that the hubris gods should set Trump on fire for talking shit about anyone else's hair

For example, distrust of pollsters also leads to lower response rates for Trump supporters. Rasmussen finds that 17 percent of likely U.S. voters who “strongly approve” of the job Trump is doing say they are less likely to let others know how they intend to vote in the upcoming election. By comparison, only 8 percent of those who “strongly disapprove” of the president’s performance say the same.

Love to cite poll results as evidence that polls can't be trusted

Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 21:17 (five years ago)

I knew the nuts at Ask Trump Supporters had truly gone off the deep end when they started proclaiming their distrust in polls because every time they'd ever been personally called by a pollster they just lied so the results can't be legit.

The worst legacy of the Bush II years: Sam Alito, every year grinding out gross and evil opinion after opinion that never abandons the hackiest and most sinister of Republican notions of -- I use the term loosely -- governance.

just for a break from the polls/courts... she is very good at this

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/becoming-aoc-cover-story-2020

Under a President Biden, “if his life doesn’t feel different,” she points to a cab driver whizzing by our table, “if their life doesn’t feel different,” she gestures to people walking by the beauty shop and Bengali Halal Grocery, “if these people’s lives don’t actually feel different”—now she is giving a stump speech over her omelet—“we’re done. You know how many Trumps there are in waiting?”

She is tired of incremental change, of “bullshit little 10 percent tax cuts,” she says. “I think, honestly, a lot of my dissent within the Democratic party comes from my lived experience. It’s not just that we can be better, it’s that we have to be better. We’re not good enough right now.”

I don't 100% remember the details in part bc it was a little murky, also bc the justices didn't give any notes or commentary on the PA ruling because that case came through the shadow docket? (Oooooh.)

Is that where they decide who gets shadowbanned?

Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 21:42 (five years ago)

the whole "Trump voters are intentionally skewing the polls" talking point is so idiotic, not only did this by and large not happen in 2016 but there's nothing in the world these idiots want more then for Trump to be leading in the polls, like are you telling me guys like Charlie Kirk & Bill Mitchell wouldn't go fucking crazy if there was a poll showing the race tied

furthermore the polls do seem to be pretty much in line with a President who has not garnered a net positive approval rating at a single point during his presidency, which I believe is a first

If they do decide the air that Bobulinski interview, I can almost guarantee that Hunter Biden won't be elected president.
