There's no way he can prove intent unless she was recorded revealing her evil plans (while cackling maniacally)

ondinemd.bsky.social•113 days ago

And then people complain about poll herding. What‘s the incentive to ever run an outlier poll again (her outlier poll in 2016 was IN HIS FAVOR, and correct!!) if the next president will ruin your life over it?

johnchr42.bsky.social•113 days ago

The goal isn't justice. It's bankruptcy and capitulation of his enemies.

jimmy3jay.bsky.social•113 days ago

But perhaps in discovery he will find the paper knew or suspected the poll was wrong and they ran it anyway.

Not actionable perhaps but another nail in the msm coffin.

crouchback.bsky.social•113 days ago

Seriously? At the time it came out, there was a lot of discussion of what an outlier it was and how and why the poll had such a different methodology. Nate Silver actually praised the paper for having the guts to run with something outside the box.

jimmy3jay.bsky.social•113 days ago

You wouldn't be Guy Crouchback, would you? A favorite character of mine.

Anyway, I don't know any more about it than you probably do. Anything I have to say on the matter is pure speculation on my part.

She did issue a long denial of shenanigans without actually denying shenanigans.

I think we are at the point where we can expect absolutely anything from Trump. I don’t think anything is too crazy for him.

You have the Senior Senator from Massachusetts saying the Crazy Lefty Kid from Maryland Just couldn't take Obama Care anymore and so he had to shoot someone or some such total nonsense. We told you not to hand healthcare over to the govt. We 100% voted against it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/former-manhattan-prosecutor-reacts-to-daniel-penny-acquittal/vi-AA1vV5Ao?ocid=socialshare&pc=U531&cvid=1a7e8a8629a147759fe66f8c4b0fe72f&ei=18

So many little maga 🐩s in the comments saying “wHAt AboUt”?

😆

stogachess.bsky.social•113 days ago

It is pathetic. He is such a loser

thatamerican.bsky.social•113 days ago

YOUR mama.

tarathegeek.bsky.social•113 days ago

I mean, how can it even be proven the poll results were wrong? It could have been 100% correct but the publishing of the results increased turnout from his base while simultaneously decreasing Kamala’s voter turnout

fallenflowers.bsky.social•113 days ago

Trump has it so easy, he can do whatever he wants and his fans will raise their “liberal tears” cups and cheer.

krisseraph.bsky.social•113 days ago

Well who's going to stop him

corkdork66.bsky.social•113 days ago

I’m not a lawyer but that seems like the kind of frivolous suit that would get thrown out. At least I would hope. It’s going to be a long four years.

jeffersonairpods.bsky.social•113 days ago

To be as far off as Selzer was there is the possibility it was a suppression poll.
That's actionable

lupitamofongo.bsky.social•113 days ago

He won…he can now fk all the way off to the WH to carry out his evil intentions against our country. Why is he such a fkin 3 year old?

andys311.bsky.social•113 days ago

Fair is fair then. Let’s investigate Rasmussen for when theirs have been ridiculously wrong

jeffersonairpods.bsky.social•113 days ago

Ok. I'm not sure any of theirs have ever been off by 16 points and the pollster immediately retire though.
It's bad for everyone if pollsters are trying to thumb the scale.

andys311.bsky.social•113 days ago

The fact she immediately retired and left her career she was widely respected in signals that’s she’s very obviously not corrupt. Investigations into her are an absolute waste

romulusandremua.bsky.social•113 days ago

Trafalgar polling had some real bangers in 2022. They had the Republican only slightly down in Senate race in Vermont. He lost by over 30 points. Was that a “suppression” poll? I mean this whole line of argument is silly. Selzer retired because she has integrity. RW polls do not.

jeffersonairpods.bsky.social•113 days ago

Maybe. The floodgates are now open. Do as though wilt shall be the whole of the law.

andys311.bsky.social•112 days ago

The thing is we don’t think the flood gates should be open because it’s unnecessary.

Our main issue is that this is just Trump being ridiculous

elissa4.bsky.social•113 days ago

The only hope may be ppl rejecting the darkness he brings with him. Just the constant glower and hunt for ppl to abuse. It's suffocating.

irvineghost20.bsky.social•113 days ago

Whose money is he using for this? The RNC's? His campaign fund's? This is such horrible harassment

thatamerican.bsky.social•113 days ago

Who's paying you to shit post stupidity.

andys311.bsky.social•113 days ago

Welcome to 4 years of this while the tech bros claim he’s free speech

kamodo.bsky.social•113 days ago

Yet when Brandon aka Biden did the same thing, the left cheered him but now when Trump does it they say the nasty shit. Basically you have lunatic leftist and progressives who live in crazy world and not reality.

romulusandremua.bsky.social•113 days ago

Jesse there is a BarPod episode on the deafening silence of the Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi, Shelleberger, et Al.

Being heterdox was just a BS Trumpy tribe in of itself.
