For anyone wanting to sit on the sidelines, this is what is going to happen. trump WILL open camps, and these people will refuse to cover it.

Abstain at your own peril.

Theres no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he was on substances when he purchased the firearm. The form asks if you're a USER of drugs. If he was not using substances when he was buying the firearm, he didn't lie.

That's fine. If this is now precedent, the government needs to go and retroactively charge all users, and not just a spotlight democrat.

These people don't realize that the only reason they are sleeping comfortably in their beds at night is because people on the left are abiding by a social contract that they are trying to break.

If they break that social contract, their little McMansion isn't going to be nearly enough to protect their delusional positions.

Uhh... multiple people have confirmed he did do this. So yeah he's right. Only a psycho would do this.

Honestly, good. Israel's PM is not looking for the off ramp here, so the US should act in it's own interest (for once) when our ally wants to keep the military operation going.

I want politics to be something you look at with a sense of boredom vs a sense of dread again. Biden has been great for making politics 'boring' again, on top of being a very competent leader.

Sure, there's things he has done that I'm not a fan of, but that's every leader.

It's very frustrating, yeah. All the progress this country was making was thwarted by a bunch of butt-hurt southerners and racists.

What's depressing is if literally any of our institutions acted how they were supposed to, this wouldn't be an issue.

The 4th estate is failing the country because they've been bought by oligarchs.

The judicial apparatus is failing because it's been bought by oligarchs.

The political apparatus is failing because it's been bought by oligarchs.

Man I wish we could put our finger on the reason why everything is coming down around us...

So the biggest issue on polling is that it's a broken system. It relies on all people to answer when asked, and what we're seeing is people flat out aren't doing it. Think about it. When's the last time you answered an unknown number, and if that number wasn't something you were expecting (like your car repair person telling you your vehicle was ready) did you stay on the line?

This same kind of thing is popping up when we look at polling for the primaries and then see the actual voter data. They haven't been lining up for a while.

Think back to 2022. The media, for months, was saying there was going to be a red wave election. Polling was supporting this as well. And... they had a measly 5 seat majority.

I think people are putting way too much faith in polling the past few cycles, because something fundamentally changed in how people interact with them.
