Shapiro came out last night against counting illegal ballots. What a schmuck. Even counting the votes the PA Supreme Court said couldn’t be counted, Casey loses. There aren’t enough of those votes. What an admirable leader. Not! BTW, when you have counts going on and people willfully violating state Supreme Court decisions just to try to get their candidate elected, what would the count have been, if the Republicans did not have a huge ground game with attorneys all over the US ready at a moment’s notice to take the local Dems/precincts to court?
Once again the work and organizational skills of Lara Trump !
 
I'm happy, stone for 15 days plus and counting.

It was a hail mary by the Democrats - but definitely election fraud since it was designed to manipulate the election. A hard concept for you to understand. Trump was always going to win Iowa big. All of you foolish Dems pushed that corrupt Iowa poll for days - Kamala is winning the swing states, Kamala is surging. I thought you, DeTrain, Icky, and Rill were against election interference. Guess not.
Technically, it would be election interference not fraud. In reality, it was just a bad poll that meant nothing. Almost everyone thought it was a bad poll when it came out so it didn't influence anything. I cannot think of anything that is more of a non story.

If I was an undecided near election day, I can't imagine my decision would be swayed by a Iowan poll. Boy, better vote for Harris, she is leading in Iowa!

It wasn't just a bad poll that was wrong. Just stop, Jeff. You really are demeaning yourself with that statement.

It was an attempt by the Democrats which of course includes the press to influence low-information voters. "Kamala has momentum". "Kamala leads in 4 of the 7 swing states". It was used as a national GOTV effort. That's why CNN, USA Today, the Boston Globe, MSDNC, and the FakeNews stations all picked up this one poll and ran with the DNC narrative.

Maybe someday you will open your eyes to reality; however, there is no evidence at all that any such thing will happen.

Jeff, do you recall MSNBC, CNN, etc. saying it was a "bad poll" and it "meant nothing" when it came out?

It might be rather cynical of me, but I think that poll was primarily about getting donations rather than getting votes. I tend to agree that as far as the election itself, the poll was not really any different than a disingenuous campaign ad. I wish things were less slimy, but slimy works often enough it's part of the toolbox. It'll take voters, and likely more importantly, donors, to say no to slime to change anything. I was actually mildly heartened that voters seemed to reject some of the nonsense this go around.
 
I find the polls influential. Is Trump ahead or behind? Late summer he was behind, then ahead as time progressed, and then behind again- always seemed close. Toward the end most polls had him ahead, but within the "3%" margin of error.

This fake poll in Iowa basically said the margin of error was happening and Harris was going to win so get out and vote. Shock and Awe. The left wing media touted it widely that she was an old school numbers gal so you gotta trust her. Kamala had a billion to spend, how much did this cost?

There is no way data influenced her decision to post a fake poll. Sad end to her career.


ps. Media coverage at the time:

Former President Donald Trump has lost his lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in solidly red Iowa, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll conducted by revered pollster J. Ann Selzer—an outlier compared to other surveys in the state but one that should be taken as a serious warning sign for Trump given Selzer’s pristine polling record.

How many articles have to be posted about all the polling for you to actually admit your stated position is bullhockey doodoo? I even posted one where the NY Times and and a couple of other aggregates stopped including Trafalgar, Rasmussen and Atlas Intel…3 of the most accurate polling firms and Atlas has been quite accurate going back to 2020. Why didn’t they include them? Because they showed Trump winning nationally. Psyops. Period.

Most of the polls were slanted to give the APPEARANCE of a slim 3-4 point Carmella lead. RCP took those pols and used this slanted information to increase her AVERAGE !

Which also influenced the various betting sites like Polymarket !
 
May need to read this Rilla.
I have read up on this issue.

This mostly started being investigated in 2021 AND 2022. The DOJ, FBI, ATF, and other unknown agencies EVEN a Federal Grand Jury have dismissed ALL investigations due to the lack of credibility of ALL the witnesses, including Greenberg ( Gaetz is not his friend !) in prison for sex trafficking and bogus charges against other people to receive a reduced sentence. (To start Greenberg was NOT charged with 22 additional charges, to insure he would start his dealing !).

Gaetz's reply to the House attached proofs of his complete innocence.

Imagine the angst of AG Garland being humiliated at the witness table by this young whipper snapper from Florida !
( I advised you to watch on you tube !)

Matt served on a Grand Jury in our residence County for a year, one day a week !
The Grand Jury ALWAYS 100 % of the time returned a "true bill of indictment". (Under the ham sandwich rule.)
Matt also advised me that in 16 years in NYPD he's NEVER not received the true bill !
Me in NJSP the same !

Well, that was a waste of my time researching this, is it Florida ?
The last large political donation I gave was to the Congressman from Palm Beach County, who later resigned from Congress over pedophiles IIFC !

Eric runs a multi-billion dollar business, so give him some credit.

Eric has received 111 subpoenas over the past 8 years.
He has never even received a parking ticket !
Eric is not charismatic in any way. Lara is not only bright, but quick on her feet. Very sharp and a huge improvement to the RNC.

Thanks to the Biden/Harrid administration, and specifically the border czar Harris, we now have a Venezuelan prison gang in 16 states. Like I’ve said, coming to a city near you….
 
Crazy. Apparently California in 2024 mails a ballot to everyone they think is eligible to vote. All this created a lot of mail-in ballots not properly filled out. But no worries, in California they hire "workers" to cure the ballots. They call, they even make trips to find the voters. I just saw a video where Nancy Pelosi's daughter was going off to spend her day curing ballots.

No wonder that 2 of the 3 house races not called are in California. in one district 96% are counted, in the other 97%. Apparently California has a deadline of December 3 for all this to be over.
 
Are you sure that isn’t dtrainfleck69? 🤣
Be it Icky or DTrain, consistent with their character they have to hide behind someone who is unafraid, right or wrong, to voice their opinion.

This is all part of their therapy and coping with the fact that the Patriots will be in control in less than 2 months.

Didn’t have the votes.

Documents from the House Ethics Committee investigation were illegally leaked to the NYT. They must have been pretty damning.

He had to know they were going to be leaked, as well as everything the DoJ has. Assuming the leak and withdrawal are connected, it was pretty dumb of him to let his name get forwarded as a nominee. I'm all for POTUS rather than the bureaucratic state and others running the executive branch, but this is a name I'm not sorry to see withdrawn.

I agreed with you and gave Matt's experiences with Venezuelan gangs ! (75% of his current arrest's are Venezuelan !)

So you can check off NYC as having been infested !

From what I have read (including his written response to the House), it was all innuendo and he said, she said.

NOTHING that would lead to inditements by law enforcement at Federal or State levels. Which ALL of them deferred to any prosecution.

Looked very Kavanaugh-ish.

Trump doesn't need the initial Senate votes, he can just appoint him when Congress is in recession. (It's been done hundred's of times Dem or Rep President's !)

Recess appointments for cabinet level officials is very rare and poor form.

SCOTUS also slowed the role for all recess appointments in 2014. Congress had to be adjourned for at least 10 days or something like that, IIIRC.

Looks like the Denver Mayor wants to go to Federal prison. Just try it, buddy. Homan isn't going to mess around with you.

Has to be a joke site. The Mayor can't be that stupid. If he is and did say those things, he should be impeached/recalled. edit I just reread he will use public volunteers. Yeah, I will volunteer to stop Federal Law Enforcement Agents that wear body armor, carry guns, clubs, hand cuffs. What a clown.

It is on a number of sites. Apparently, he is that stupid. He just sponsored a referendum for an affordable housing sales tax that did not pass.
 
Hello All:

Rillaman (whom I correspond with via DM) asked me the other day if I was on here under a pseudonym. To be clear, I am not. I have not posted on this chain since around late September, when I decided it wasn't worth a single second of additional time of mine. Apparently someone is tormenting TJ (per Rillaman), which may be why when I came over here for the first time he mentioned me in three straight posts, which I found bizarre but maybe it wasn't. I am not that person, I have not thought about TJ since late September when I left here. I do not plan on renewing posting here, either. I do hope Best and several others are doing well.

Separately, congrats to Trump and his sycophants. Some of his appointments since winning the election have been outstanding, some have been hideously bad, including the guy who quit today and several other bootlickers who found their only way to prominence being the walk behind the Donald. There will be good and bad in a Trump Presidency, and there will definitely be absurdity. At least it will give you all plenty to talk about, I will be commenting on Illini sports on the other boards.

Take care!
