Also, I don't see twa arguing about real unemployment numbers anymore.... ****ing troll 

 

What is there to argue when ya'll now agree with me? :ols:

Do you think the real unemployment numbers are as good as the 4.1 or whatever they claim?

 

same problems exist and it will need to rise to show real recovery.

U.S. top court blocks redraw of North Carolina congressional maps
Jan 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a lower court's order for North Carolina to rework its congressional map because Republicans violated the Constitution by drawing electoral districts intended to maximize their party's chances of winning.
The conservative-majority court granted a bid by Republican legislators in North Carolina to suspend the Jan. 9 order by a federal court panel in Greensboro that gave the Republican-controlled General Assembly until Jan. 24 to come up with a new map for U.S. House of Representatives districts.
Two liberal justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, objected to the high court's action.
The Supreme Court's decision to stay the order reduces the chance that the current district lines will be altered ahead of the November mid-term congressional elections. The court offered no reason for its decision.

The right has gone all in on controlling and manipulating voting as their only chance of retaining control. They are incapable of winning hearts n minds by making a legitimate argument, they admit this themselves and aren't even trying to find a fig leaf. Expect more of this approaching the midterms as they seek to stack the deck even more.

Link does not work.  As I was searching for the article, tho, I found this gem:

Quote

Former Trump staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman might have secretly recorded private conversations in the White House as she feared special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, The New York Daily News reported Friday.

 

Sources told the Daily News that Manigault Newman, who abruptly resigned from the White House late last year, “loves” to record meetings. Her official last day in the administration is Saturday.


“Everyone knows Omarosa loves to record people and meetings using the voice notes app on her iPhone,” one source said. “Don’t be surprised if she has secret audio files on everyone in that White House, past and present staffers included.”

 

The White House’s recent ban on staffers having their personal cell phones was tied to Manigault-Newman’s habit of recording her conversations, the source told the Daily News.

Poll: Dems lead GOP by 11 points on generic 2018 House ballot

 

I guess by "single digits" they mean that the lead only contains one digit.  It just contains that digit twice.  :ols:  That is some Kellyanne-level bull****.

Poll: Dems' lead on House generic ballot shrinks to single digits

 

An NPR—PBS NewsHour—Marist poll found that when voters were asked which party’s candidate they’d more likely vote for in their district, 46 percent of registered voters said Democrats, while 40 percent went with Republicans. Nine percent are undecided.

That shows a sizable decline from December polling, which found Democrats leading by 13 points on generic ballot polling.

Thursday’s poll found more welcome news for Republicans among registered voters who identify as independents.

Among those voters, Republicans led by 2 points, with 38 percent of those voters saying they’d vote for the GOP candidate, while 36 percent said the Democratic candidate. In December, polling found that Democrats were leading among independent voters by 11 points.

I think you're LONG past the point where you can criticize anyone, ever, for their search skills.  

 

which of us was correct? :)

 

Not only single digits but also winning independents

I was correct.  Your link did not work, and it was (and is) not on their front page.  Also, my link is also correct.

Democrats lead Republicans by 11 points in generic ballot polling for the House ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, according to a new poll.

A Quinnipiac University poll finds 50 percent of American voters say they would want to see the Democratic Party take control of the House.

That's compared to 39 percent that say they would rather see the Republican Party in control.

This is one of those cases where I'd heed twa's warnings. The worst thing that can happen is complacency and overconfidence. How many democrats reported staying home because they thought the election was in the bag.

 

If 2016 proved anything, it's that there are way more crazy, stupid, short-sighted people than anyone expected. Don't underestimate the ability of the right to motivate through hate and lies.

And I was correct on the single digits and mocked while the Dems are losing independents.

 

But you enjoy your victory lap on a link since I can't open it for you. :silly:

 

ABC/WaPo poll today has Dems +15 on the generic ballot. +14 with independents.

 

Oops.

To aid everyone in determining their reaction to this, I will save you the google search.  He is a Republican. 

 

Now everyone knows how to respond.

LOL, he was a pretty popular name a few years back in Republican circles, though I can't recall why.
