The Official "Making America Great Again" Thread

[JohnStOnge]

As we have learned from elections polls are not very accurate. People will lie to the pollsters especially conservatives, so they don’t have to hear lib vitriol.

You're kidding yourself. The higher quality polls are as accurate as one can expect polls to be. Even in a perfect situation if you estimate a proportion with a random sample of 1000 people the "margin of error" is about 3 percentage points and that's for the percentage one candidate is going to get. If you're talking about the difference between candidates it's about double that.

If you look at the overall popular vote for either the 2016 Presidential Election or the 2018 overall House vote the average of the differences for all the polls were very close to the actual differences. And when you look at the individual polls there was only ONE case among the two elections where the actual result for the difference between the candidates or parties fell outside of the margin of error for any individual poll reported at the RealClearPoliitics site. And that one case was the Rasmussen poll saying Republicans were going to win the overall popular vote in the 2018 House elections by 1 percentage point right before they lost it by 8.4 percentage points.

Let's isolate this one. The last RealClearPolitics average of polls prior to the 2018 House elections had the Democrats up by 7.3 percentage points. They actually won by a little more than that. They won that overall vote by 8.4 percentage points.

Do you think that small error...where the average of polls under estimated Democrat performance by 1.1 percentage points...was due to conservatives lying to pollsters so they wouldn't have to hear lib vitriol?

Can you see where thinking that would make absolutely no sense?

That's my Gov!

Could certainly use more of that type of politician.

Agree, but then people would be outraged at compromise. Can't be having that now.

[mainejeff]

Some things should not be compromised.

[GannonFan]

Some things should not be compromised.

Of course they can. We were told that building any bit of a wall would be an immoral act, and now those same people are approving money to do just that. Another person said that we needed a wall from sea to shining sea and anything less would be an outrage, and now he's going to be fine just building part of that wall. Compromise. Of course, all of it could have been a little better if we just compromised earlier and included things like DACA resolution and overall immigration reform, but these are generally big things for more serious politicians and we have very few of them in office right now.

Fake news!

What would you like to wager that he wasn't attacked at all, and when he finally confesses, the media and everyone else would give his racism a pass?

Because you know if a white guy had done that, he'd have to change his name and flee the country.

Surprise, surprise. Pretty much what everyone here immediately suspected. Completely staged:

Jussie Smollett has turned from a presumed victim to suspect in the criminal investigation into the alleged racist, homophobic attack, and sources say there is mounting evidence the 2 brothers who were arrested and subsequently released were acting at Jussie's behest and reportedly paid.

Our sources say the brothers -- both of whom worked on the "Empire" set -- "completely cooperated" with Chicago cops during their interrogation over the last few days.

One law enforcement source tells TMZ at least one of the brothers turned over his phone and there is a call between him and Jussie in the vicinity of the "attack," but before it happened.

It's not going to be a wall. Or at least what they approved was not going to be a wall. It's a fence. That may seem like a minor distinction but remember that Trump made a bid deal during his campaign about how it wasn't going to be a fence. It was going to be a concrete wall with rebar, etc. What Congress approved is not what Trump said he was going to do during the campaign (that Mexico was going to pay for).

I was fairly certain it was BS from the start

But there is a fatal lack of critical thinking in this country so it isnt surprising the story had legs

Yes, the lack of objectivity on this and the MAGA teens story has been astonishing and downright disgraceful.

Trump may be literally the weakest presidential incumbent candidate in US history next year and the media and democrat party are saying "hold my beer".

Trump announces plan to encourage decriminalization of homosexuality in places like Iran. Of course you know some dunderhead is going to say it's racist or Islamophobic.

Of course you are....because you’ve already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that actual facts don’t mean shit to you. It’s all about your agenda.

Says the guy defending the Catholic all boys shool that sent bunch of kids to DC to counter protest the Women's March under the guise of "pro-life" then get caught on camera being a-holes to a Native American Vietnam veteran.....then try to spin that into them being the victims.....all with grinning faces including that poor Sandmann kid.....scared shitless. Can't you tell by the smirk?

Go fuck yourself MAGAtard!

Hey JSO, this is a prime example of how the whole Covington thing went down within the 24-48 after the incident.

Exactly what happened in your mind.

1. Catholic schools send kids to the Right to Life March every year. The women's march has been only going on for three years and is only there because of the Right to Life March.

2. The Native American "elder" is not a Vietnam vet.

3. The Native American "elder" is a regular activist.

4. The Native American "elder" approached the kids with no attempt to get to the Lincoln as he claimed.

So other than that... yeah, exactly what happened. The kids were not victims of the situation but they sure as shit were the victims of the media and asshats like you.
