Biden tanks in polls

poll done by Quinnipiac, known to be fairly accurate.

Outside of the partisan diehards, Biden doesn’t have a lot of fans.

2024 is a long, long way off, and other than covid, people
won’t remember much of what’s driving this poll. But it shows the liberal diehards here, are in the minority.

When you average the recent polls Biden is just over 44%, Trump at this point was just over 38%. Considering the rise of the Delta variant, the freak out over the Afghanistan withdrawal, Haiti border issue and Dem senators gumming up the works he's still looking pretty decent all things considered.

and when jake tapper at CNN says his polling is “brutal”, he’s just being a right wing hack.

I’d rather have a poorly polling president as opposed to a hate mongering, angry tweeting, fascist leaning cheato-dust stained bafoon who if re-elected will make revenge on his opponents his number one priority.

Trump was a fascist? do you know what a fascist is? what kind of fascist would allow CNN and MSNBC to talk about him the way they did?

Trump is a lot of really bad things. he’s not remotely fascist.

whew.

It’s your side who punishes and cancels those who disagree.

Where on earth did you get “fascist”?

Conservatives get booted from social media, and are now called domestic terrorists for making sure school boards don’t harm their children, in schools they are paying for.

By the way, attorney general garland, who is asking the DOJ to treat those who oppose critical race theory as domestic terrorists, has a daughter and son in law who started a company, which sells critical race theory material
to schools. so if you stand in the way of Garlands family getting rich, he’ll send the feds after you. THAT is fascism.

Don’t compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler.
One was a psychopath who believed his raving rants. The other is a con man.

In 2016 John McNeill, a professor of history at Georgetown University, looked at the Trump campaign and compared it to some typical fascist indicators.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...mula-for-that/
At that time he judged that Trump could only be awarded 26 out of a possible 44 points. Puts him behind Franco and Salazar.
Given his behavior since he could easily get another 10.
Purging the party alone gets him 3

Is it wrong for parents ( who elect school board members and who pay for schools) to question things they don’t like?

What an awful person, from the WAPO
We located 25 real estate transactions in the Oklahoma City area related to Warren’s family and 21 mortgage loans made by Warren to her family members. We found only four transactions involving foreclosure property, two made under Warren’s name. Most of the transactions took place in the 1990s and early 2000s, with Warren’s last loan being made in 2007.

Do you think she should have been able to use banks without being a hypocrite?

Just how does a data analytics program teach critical race theory?

Attending public meetings and voicing your opinion is your right.
One would hope that people’s opinions are based on more than the latest things they saw on TV.

Because the National School Boards Association pleaded with Biden to help with the significant recent spike in violence and threats to school board members and teachers.

Maybe they should just take over the schools and call them "Autonomous Zones", then the Feds would stay out of it.

The new Republican American way

People outside Sarasota Sch Bd member Shirley Brown’s house tonight: “We see you in there, Shirley. We want you to come out for a redress of grievances. This is the line we will die on. Shirley, come out. We have some questions and we have demands that need to be met.”

On the same day a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Homeland Security received a damning internal report about its intelligence operations targeting racial justice protesters in Portland last summer.

It outlines how senior leadership pushed unfounded conspiracies about antifascists, encouraged staff to violate constitutional rights, and made spurious connections between protesters who engaged in criminal activity.

All the Justice Department is meeting with state and local officials to develop joint strategies to deal with the issue. Jim’s profiteering racket is a fantasy.

What issue? Parents concerned about their children’s education.

Again, local law enforcement can’t handle this on their own?

TIME magazine reported that Garlands daughter married the co founder of Panorama. it’s been reported that panorama sells critical race theory materials, as well as surveys that ask kids about their sexual preferences ( things that parents are complaining about) to schools.



So are you denying that Panorama sells critical race theory material and sexual preference surveys to schools? or are you denying that garlands daughter is married to the cofounder of Panorama?

that’s the issue. we aren’t allowed to question public education.

you can loot a store then burn it down to protest injustice against people to whom the left is sympathetic, that’s ok. but if you question people to whom the left is sympathetic, the feds might come for you. that’s where that party is right now.

can’t imagine why i yanked my kids out of public school.

anyone making death threats, even disturbing the peace or trespassing. should be arrested and prosecuted, and you know i’d say that.

i saw CNN labeling a woman a domestic terrorist, who accused each BOE member of abusing children. that may be exaggerated rhetoric ( or it may be 100% accurate, according to some doctors), but it doesn’t come close to being domestic terrorism.

how widespread are threats and actual acts of violence? it’s not a federal issue unless the states refuse to investigate ( like liberal states failed to crack down on BLM rioters).

Not sure of the exact number but it's now a serious nation wide phenomenon. It also certainly could be a federal issue if federal laws are being broken. The definition of a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act is very broad and certainly could apply to some of the more violent offenders, violation of federal mail statutes etc...

Civil libertarians and Democrats hated the Patriot Act. It was considered a federal threat to American civil rights. Now even the left can use it to federally control those citizens in situations that local government was constitutionally given the exclusive right to do so.

If the people of this country keep acting up in ways the Progressive centralized government power seekers don't like or are threatened by, they may very well, if we elect enough of them, take their foot out of the opening between the door and the constitutional wall that protects Americans from over-arching federal power and just bust the door and wall wide open with more "very broad" Acts.

More serious than the race riots of 2020? Because we didn't get the feds involved in that. Have BOW protesters killed more people, done more damage, than those idiots?
