What pollster Cornell Belcher just said on Nicole's show

"I'm a pollster and we should stop talking about polls on televisions so much... we're centering too much of our conversation on polls and polls aren't crystal balls. They're not predictors of the future. I think we want polls to predict the future, but they're not. From a campaign standpoint what we use polls for is to instruct us on how to build a campaign."

I hope this is helpful.

It's not MIGRANTS that I find threatening

As the rapist trermp continues his Scare the Whites Tour, ginning up his crowds with lies and misrepresentations about migrants crossing the border, I think about the bigger threats to America, and for the larger part, their skin ain't brown.

On any day of the week there's news somewhere of some rapist-loving maniacs who promise danger or cause some mayhem because those maniacs have had their psychotic tendencies awakened by years of right-wing media telling them to hate the libs who threaten what they think is their God-given superiority. So they make threatening phone calls to judges and public officials. They crash through gates at FBI field offices. They riot at the capitol, brutalizing cops in the process. They fire shots at homes of people they don't like. We've all seen the danger.

What's more scary is that the conman under multiple indictments encourages all of the above behavior against people he perceives as threats. He calls those criminal rioters who bear-sprayed cops in his defense good people whom he will pardon if reelected.

What's even more scary are the less aligned voters with amnesia whose lives are in no way negatively impacted by "illegal immigration" yet still buy into the fear-mongering enough so that they may even vote for the rapist who promises to pardon violent criminals whom the rapist refers to as hostages.

Yes, I feel more threatened by the white suburban swing voter who leaves open the opportunity to vote for a known rapist and conman because they've been emotionally manipulated by him with distractions in the form of false stories of criminal migrant hordes.

Here's a reply I made on FB re bloodbath statements

My take is that any blood that's going to be spilled is going to be that of those poor pitiable creatures that have been ginned up by Limbaugh and Fox to believe that they have some birthright privilege to the American consensus and when they don't get their way turn to violence, which they think their privilege allows, but are in for a rude awakening as was realized by the January 6 convicts.

Republican Voters Against Trump

https://rvat.org/about-us/

Here's a group that will help normalize things a bit. It's been a long time coming because we all know how magas can turn violent against those who don't carry the water for the Keystone Con.

If this group gets decent attention it will help further erode support for the Florida rapist, not only among republicans, but also among conservative-leaning independents who see it's ok to speak out.

My advice to magas who feel bad about the economy

Maybe you should just work harder. You need to join the culture of work instead of waiting for a handout from the government. You're a republican so remember, whatever you think Joe Biden should be doing, it's not government's job. You're responsible for your own economic condition. So pick yourself up by your bootstraps and stop complaining. This is America!

Someone cut this poor man's mic!

They’re just letting him ramble off a string of fantasies. He’s supposed to be talking about a SCOTUS decision but he’s clearly unaware of that. And of course no outlet that is going to fact check his incoherent garble. What a sad state of affairs!

MSNBC is actually getting testimony from Biden supporters!

I haven't had too much to drink. I didn't eat any mushrooms and I'm not (that) high. But within the past hour they've actually featured Michigan voters who not only will vote for President Biden, but who enumerate his their reasons for backing him. I haven't seen this anywhere, even on MSNBC and I don't usually watch MSNBC election returns because I think Kornacki camera time is pointless, but here I am on a fluke completely amazed.

I mean it's only been three voters they talked to, but that's an indescribable increase from their past practice of talking to Biden bashers or magagopers.

Home Depot ban on worker's Black Lives Matter apron was illegal, US agency rules

Source: Reuters

Home Depot (HD.N), opens new tab violated U.S. labor law by barring a retail worker from wearing an apron that said "BLM" in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, a federal labor board ruled on Wednesday.

The National Labor Relations Board in a 3-1 decision said the worker's refusal to remove the writing from the apron was protected by federal law because it came amid complaints about racial discrimination by employees at the New Brighton, Minnesota store.
