Proof again that anyone who answers these polls are idiots. Haley waffles more than the local Waffle Squarf. 🙂

 

She has no real identity other than being a little brown girl who just wanted to be loved and had to become white and "conservative" to do so in South Carolina.

82 percent of Trump supporters can't acknowledge that maybe....just maybe....his douchiness contributed in a big way to him losing to Biden.

 

We are so far gone in this country. And inflation and Biden's age, despite Trump being an even bigger douche now, are going to lead to DJT returning to the presidency. Which will validate these people's thoughts about the 2020 election. In their minds, will any presidential election won by a Dem ever be seen as legit?

Quote

For months now, the economy has been much stronger than political coverage — and therefore, public polling — has suggested. And though it wasn’t only in the past few weeks that 14 million jobs were created, inflation dropped below 4 percent and wages exceeded inflation, the coverage of the economy certainly has shifted quickly and dramatically.


Each bit of news is reported as confirmation that finally the economic outlook has brightened. “Americans are rapidly becoming much more upbeat about the economy,” the Wall Street Journal reported last week. “Consumer sentiment surged 29% since November, the biggest two-month increase since 1991, the University of Michigan said Friday, adding to gauges showing improving moods.” Hmm, that suggests for several months now the media continued to paint a dreary picture of the national mood when, in fact, consumers were feeling something quite different. Apparently, ordinary Americans clued in to the real state of the economy far sooner than the many in the media did.

 

When an article insists that this marks a “sharp turn after persistently high inflation, the lingering shock from the pandemic’s destruction and fears that a recession was around the corner had put a damper on feelings about the economy in recent years, despite solid growth and consistent hiring,” you have to wonder whether the gap in perception was thanks to overly negative coverage. (A recent Brookings Institution study concluded that “economic news has become systematically more negative … with the negative bias growing over the last three years.”)


Americans’ increasingly positive outlook is reflected in the markets, which have soared to new highs. “The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high on Friday as investors returned to buying equities in force following a short-lived market stumble to start the new year,” CNBC reported. “The broad market index rose 1.23% to settle at 4,839.81, surpassing both the prior record intraday and closing highs from January 2022. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which set its own record at the end of last year, added 395.19 points, or 1.05%, to end at 37,863.80.”


Much of the media appears to be scrambling to catch up to reality. That has significant political implications for President Biden, whose economic success has been played down, dismissed or ignored — on the grounds that the public does not feel better. Well, now there is no excuse for the derisive coverage of Biden’s economic stewardship.

The Post reported: “Rising sentiment among both Democrats and Republicans comes at a critical moment for the Biden administration, which has struggled to convince voters that its economic policies are making their lives better ahead of November’s presidential election.” That means “Democrats are cautiously optimistic that improving views of the economy will boost President Biden’s chances in the election, after months when inflation and voter fury over the economy appeared to be intractable political problems.” (Just days before, The Post reported that Biden was not getting credit.)

The misquoting of prominent figures is rampant with idiots.

My old boss had a diatribe on his office door one time that was falsely attributed to Bill Gates. I ripped it off his door and threw it in the trash.

Just pointing out:  This isn't "AI Interference in the election".  This is "A Republican donor election interference".  A computer didn't decide to make those calls.  Someone paid somebody to make them.

Wouldn't surprise me if No Labels did it. 

 

It's exactly the type of **** the GOP created it for.

I'm SHOCKED that Face the Nation deliberately manipulated this story. 

 

#shockednotshocked. 

 

 

 

And again..if your vote turns on how Biden has or had not 💯 your religious minorities side on this issue and you don't mind Trump singling you out and trying to deport you first thing in 2025, go ahead and go with that. It's already been announced by Herr Miller. 

 

They're coming for all non Christians.

First CA Senate Debate... 

 

tuned in for 5 min so far.  Man Garvey sounds horrible. This is what you get when you push the "not a politician" button.

 

To me it is between Schiff and Porter.  It's a shame Feinstein stayed too long, because Barbara Lee really looks a bit too old.

Hopefully Schiff and Porter poll top 2 in the primaries.  Fwiw, the GOP has no role at the State level in California. Not since Arnie left as governor back in 2011.

I knew that guy was some kind of ringer, if you will, and called it out during the show.

 

It's sad how much of the non right wing media has degenerated in the opposite direction of the liberal bias that had been the classic criticism of their coverage.

 

Not that they're overtly, or even subtly, "pro maga" but they are pushing negatively slanted and/or alarmist narratives that feed multiple fears and concerns among their largely non conservative viewership cuz the worrying drum beat draws more attentive and frequent viewing. $$$.

 

And of course some of it is the same crap we saw during Trump's campaign and admin where the "bend over and present your tush" strategies were dominant in order to show their "unbiased fairness" to "both sides."
