I think you are right.
(I would be utterly unsurprised to find Sessions compromised.)
That’s just the State Dept. and that’s just four years.
Imagine all the things that can be funded by siphoning
off cash from the multiplicity of FedMob departments and agencies.
Hey Korea hundred percent, and let’s not forget this should not be a surprise go all the way back to 1993 and the FBI file scandal with Hillary and that Craig Livingstone guy.
She always surrounds herself with greasy dirty people and Susan Rice it’s not just associated with Obama but she has a history with Hillary as well.
Ol’ Solomon was right.
There IS nothing new under the sun! ;^)
It HAS???
How do you 'know' this?
Indianapolis' local paper, the Star, sure is!!
Section A, which USED to carry news, VERY few (small) ads and the editorial page; has been reduced to being almost 75% ads, the 'legal' stuff that USED to be in small print in the LAST section, and any 'news' you find in it has been replaced; for the most part; with speculation about one thing or another.
The Pulliam family, selling out (in more ways than one), to the GANNETT Corporation, has been a DISASTER for this conservative state.
I am not here to defend polls, I am simply here to tell you that professional politicians take polls very seriously, foreign governments judge the power of the American president on the basis of these polls, and no one but no one takes his polls more personally and more seriously than does Donald Trump himself.
I am not going to argue whether these polls are accurate or not. Make up your own mind. If you think they are problem then the question becomes what to do about it. If you think they are problem but you do not know what to do, you could always attack me, that should make you feel better.
But if you do want to feel better for God sake do not think about Trump's conversations with the premier of China when that man knows that Trump's approval ratings are in the 30s.
'professional politicians take polls very seriously, foreign governments judge the power of the American president on the basis of these polls, and no one but no one takes his polls more personally and more seriously than does Donald Trump himself.'
Please. Professional politicians aren't MENSA, but they're bright enough to figure out that polls have become wildly, stupidly inaccurate. They grasp, for example, that Hillary, after being given a 98% chance of winning on election eve, is not POTUS.
Professional pols also grasp the huge rallies Trump to this day enjoys. They understand that none of them--not one--can get 10,000+ people to wait in line for hours just to hear them speak.
I've read quotes from multiple prominent politicians saying they are terrified to cross Trump because his supporters are so rabidly loyal. If you were not so dedicated to fake polls, you could do a few simple internet searches and read these same quotes.
Ditto foreign governments. They probably understand even better than the parasites in DC what a joke polls have become. Your premise assumes that foreign govs operate on a ~80/room-₩00temperature IQ, but they don't. They can see the gap between polls and reality; it's not rocket science.
You need to leave the last decade behind. Polls are no longer revered. Reality has smacked these polls hard in the face. The most they possibly amount to these days is balm and salve for Trump Haters.
Let that sink in.
The Korean War had seesawed back and forth for 2 1/2 years and finally had ground itself into a bloody intractable stalemate when Eisenhower was sworn in in 1953. His single admonition to the Koreans, their co-belligerents the Chinese and to the Russians was enigmatic: "I shall go to Korea."
Such was the prestige of America's war hero, a five-star general, the supreme Allied Commander in Europe, the former commander of NATO, the man who had vanquished Hitler was such that a armistice was quickly agreed to by adversaries who had been utterly unmovable for years. The carnage ended and the American death toll halted at about 33,000.
Moral of the story: the prestige and credibility of the commander-in-chief of the United States of America matters very much.
Btw, you should research the pro-Trump rallies in India. This is not a tiny, negligible country, you know. When’s the last time a US president ignited spontaneous support rallies in a foreign country? I’ve read of pro-Trump demonstrations elsewhere, too. That’s something else the professional hacks in DC are more aware of than the average online poster.
How's THIS???
Yup; but did you know you can't spell POLLEN with out a poll?
I see what you did here...
You could not be more appallingly misinformed. The contrary is true. I suggest you Google:
polls + data mining + M I T
Jared Kushner + polls + data mining
Before you dust off your next old-time example of prestige, I challenge you to spend time on the site linked in my next post. Reddit hates The_Donald, and has actively persecuted them for many months. Yet it recently came to light--from Reddit's advertising division--that the REAL numbers for The_Donald are 6 million members and 28 million unique views per day.
Read a few of the threads. Maybe it will cure your gloom and doom.
You left this off and lost face...
