The Polls and The Press Want You Panicked and Demoralized.

today, we're going to talk about polls. but before we do, everybody take a deep fucking breath. remember "flooding the zone with shit"? that was one-man leper colony Steve Bannon's plan for how Trumpism wins. here's how it works: create information chaos. drown everyone in a sea of misinformation. put out dozens of stories a day, with each new one contradicting the last. confuse the shit out of people to the point where no one has any fucking clue which end is up. eventually, the public will give up, and check out. whatever, just make it stop. this year, wingnut pollsters have adopted Rotty Steve's strategy. they're flooding the zone with shit polls " polls that show Donny is winning, when he's not. the goal? to make you give up and stay home on election day. you're being gaslighted. don't you dare fall for it. read more

You know what kind of judges Southern slave owners tend to appoint? That's right, Southern slave owners. And so, by the 1850s, the Supreme Court was jam-packed with slave-owning justices, including the Maryland slave owner who served as Chief Justice, Roger Taney. Taney held that post for close to 30 years, and had his fellow justices largely wrapped around his finger. read more
