Hey... if you aren't planning on having an Election, or at least are planning on Rigging the Election... then who cares about silly polls*?

(* not Jeff; that would be silly Poles)

btw... the first link above says 'sleep', but it's also for diet and weight loss; a couple of years ago I lost 50 lbs in about 7 mos to get under 200 (I'm 6'3")
just by drinking coffee and eating dark choc until 2 oclock, the eating whatever over the next 4 hours... and I'm still under 200.

And the link in 8 is a quick eye exercise that werks for 75 percent of people... your brain uses a lot of neurons every day to position and balance the body... which isn't helpful when you are trying to go to sleep.

The eye trick tells those neurons to shut down.

Joe Neguse Shows No Mercy To Kristi Noem About No-Bid Contract For $220M Ad Campaign

- She was crushing him until she lost. At one point it was +10% in early voting.

"We have recruited more than 28,000
volunteers who are organizing in every
community across this state. and we have
shattered grassroots fundraising records
all without taking a dime from corporate
pacs.

The number of young people
who showed up to vote in this election
is unprecedented.

The number the number of Texans who have
never voted before but showed up in this
election is unprecedented.

The number of independents and Republicans who voted
in this Democratic primary is
unprecedented."

from #3.... apparently that's how one defies the polls.

His best line, imnsho, is about how our politics is not Left vs Right, but Top vs Bottom.

That's something all sorts of voters can hang onto.

Interesting he went after Stephen 'Goebbels' Miller, too, and rightly so.

One supposes we can chart Trump's polls and see just how low they have to go before Republicans in Congress grow a pair.

Running simulations they are:

#13 (because I can drag you outta your hole anytime I want)

The Voter Suppression in this case is a Republican Rule change that forced voters to vote their own districts rather than the previous freedom to vote anywhere in Dallas.

Anything to make voting more difficult.

- Stephanie Minter.

Was, according to the statistics in #79, about 20 percent more likely to have been murdered by a US Citizen than an undoc immigrant.

But Jeffy is an Outlier Outrage kinda guy.

#144

Intuition is also a powerful tool... wonder where it comes from?

Voters said they were pretty happy with both candidates, and would have support whomever won against the Complete Criminals on the Republican side.

And apparently the Voter Suppression for both candidates was obvious to voters... and something we are going to see on a grand scale in November... well, if there's actually an election then.

Of course, were Dems to take the Congress, Trump's Reign of Terror would be over, so I for one will not be surprised whatever he does to stay in power.

#142

I still think it's so BJ will be happy either way.

#8

Ah, well... we do agree on some things ;)

#139

Picking cherries is a logical fallacy.... specifically a fallacy of suppressed evidence.

Key Fulfilled Prophecies
The Rise of Cyrus: The prophet Isaiah predicted Cyrus by name over 100 years before his birth, stating he would conquer Babylon and allow the Jews to return from exile.

Destruction of Tyre: Ezekiel accurately predicted that the city of Tyre would be besieged by Nebuchadnezzar, and later that its stones and timber would be thrown into the sea by a future conqueror (Alexander the Great).

Destruction of Nineveh: Nahum prophesied that the city would be destroyed by fire, which was fulfilled in 612 BC by a coalition of Babylonians, Scythians, and Medes.

The Fate of Jerusalem and the Jews: Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (fulfilled in 70 AD) and the subsequent scattering of the Jewish people among all nations.

much more at the second link

Some scholars, religious or not, document 2000 out of 2500 predictions fulfilled, others about 800 out of 1600.... so far.

'What 'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

the sources in #79 are plainly stated as the National Academy of Sciences, the Conservative Libertarian CATO Inst, and Stanford Univ.

Murder rates for undoc immigrants come from the State of Texas.

You just don't like the facts they present... because you prefer Trump's divisive political lies instead.

Not a huge fan.

Senator Talarico for President! (FDR Jr.) lol

- A lot of those "predictions" were authored after they happened, so, --------, as usual.

That was actually true until the Dead Seas Scrolls discovery and scientific confirmation provided very early copies of the texts... verifying predictions of events that occurred centuries and even millennia later.

James Talarico Primary Night Remarks

"Thank you. Thank y'all so much. I
appreciate y'all. Thank you for staying
up. Thank you. Thank you.

Tonight, our campaign is shocking the nation. We
we are still waiting for an official
call, but we are confident in this
movement we've built together.

Every vote must be counted. Every voice
must be heard. The voter suppression in
my home county and in Congresswoman
Crockett's home county underscores the
gravity of this moment.

This this movement is about whether the
people will hold the power in this state
and in this country.

We have recruited more than 28,000
volunteers who are organizing in every
community across this state. and we have
shattered grassroots fundraising records
all without taking a dime from corporate
pacs.

This this is a people powered movement to
take on this broken corrupt political
system. This is truly a campaign of, by,
and for the people.

We are not we are not just trying to win
an election. We are trying to
fundamentally change our politics and
it's working.

The number of young people
who showed up to vote in this election
is unprecedented.

The number the number of Texans who have
never voted before but showed up in this
election is unprecedented.

The number of independents and Republicans who voted
in this Democratic primary is
unprecedented.

This is proof that there is something
happening in Texas tonight. Tonight, the people of our
state gave this country a little bit of
hope.

And a little bit of hope is a
dangerous thing."

"Here are five takeaways from the voting in Texas - in what is just the start of months of primary campaigning across America.

Crockett performed well in Texas's major metropolitan areas - including her home city of Dallas as well as Houston - and the eastern portion of the state, with its large black population.

But Talarico carried suburbs with affluent white liberals and areas with large numbers of Hispanic voters " including San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley along the US-Mexico border.

"The people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope," Talarico said in his election night speech before the result came in. "And a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing."

Later, when his primary victory was called, Talarico said in a statement that "we're about to take back Texas"."

more takeaways at the thread link

The 2 Republicans are going to have a run-off since neither will 50 percent... which means they'll have to fight it out another few months.

AND a Judge issued a Temp Restraining Order in Dallas County to block the vote count.

While ignoring the silly self-serving question above...

On Topic, it turns out that Trump's War had wiped out all the so-called Moderates that were vying to lead Iran, and as the only leaders left are the Radicals, Khomeini's son is now the leading candidate to lead Iran.
