Do you still believe you need to be getting every Covid jab they tell you to? Are you still wearing a mask because you heard that so much for so long?

If you don't believe much of what your read here, why bother?

I didn't believe much of what I heard on TV news, so I cut the cable chord, & have not watched TV news in 10+ years.

Have you read any of the 100+ polls that have Trump leading over the past 10 weeks? I recall just 1 that claimed otherwise...an outlier.

Did you hear Biden say yesterday he just spoke to Francois Mitterrand on the phone, the ex-French President who died in 1996?

I turned the TV off in the mid-90s. I keep one around now as a monitor to play DVDs.

I don’t have a lot of faith in any polls any more. With the ongoing death of the landline telephone, polls continue to be less accurate. I don’t know but a handful of people who will answer a cell phone except for business, much less answer a random call and participate in a political poll. The phone lists are still heavy with landlines, which normally means older people who tend to be conservative. There could be a few who volunteered to participate by registering somewhere, but anyone who feels that strongly about it also probably has a fixed viewpoint going in. These things destroy any chances of getting a random sample of what the public is actually thinking. You can assume almost all polls are skewed far beyond the stated MOEs they claim.

Even at that, most of the good aggregate polling reporting sites eliminate the outliers on both ends before calculating an average.

Have you checked the methodology of any of your polls to see how they overcame these built in disabilities?

Please try to follow along.

Try to read other people's responses if you expect us to follow your logic. Apples and oranges but hey whatever that convinces yourself to vote for Biden again and that Joe's unpopularity doesn't exist.

I never said I liked Biden particularly. I think he's too damned old and would love to see a different candidate.

However, it's like Donald Rumsfeld said - You don't go to war with the army you want, you go with the one you've got.


I cannot think of anyone on the planet who deserves to be president less than Trump. Hopefully he will be in a concrete cell before Election Day.

Rumblings are Biden will step out of the race in May for a new candidate that will resonate much more with all Democrats and many Independents. Too much is at stake in this election to be ignored by a candidate who can save our democracy.

The same fantasy glowing stuff for trump showed in 2020 too. Typical spin games. But Election Day will bring reality home. Please continue though with your fantasies. It'll just make the crash of reality all the more enjoyable.

That was back when Joe Biden knew what day of the week it was and that Francois Mitterrand died in 1996.

It was also before when the border was wide open, & before Joe wrecked the economy.

That was then, this is now.

I wouldn't go to war with those 2 rocks of Joe & Kamala. What happened to your party? Just on foreign policy, Joe is garbage and Kamala isn't any better.


Say all you want about Trump but he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for the Abraham Accords. The best thing out that region in 75 years. Not bad for being a Hitler. Trump also deserves credit for not expanding NATO to the East when the hack in the WH acts stupid why war broke out.


Vote for that hack again. Hopefully @37% approval and sinking, enough people feel the same way and send both of these rocks packing.

It’s “Nobel.”

Operative syllable “No.”

Thank you. I'm typing from my IPhone. Big fingers. I knew you would be useful. God has a plan for all of us.
