    I didn't say anything about bunkers, just pointing out the dissonance between Trump's tough-guy persona and his endless whining and failures as president.

    I think some of it can be explained by the fundamental argument US conservatives make about government and "bureaucrats", that they are inherently inept and act only to harm Americans, not to protect them. That's why conservatives tend to favor blustery authoritarians like Trump who try to be seen as solely in control of everything, a real one man show. They could try filling those positions and telling stories about what a fantastic job their appointees are doing, but that might show government working, something they’d ordinarily like us to think is impossible.

    Trump campaign demands CNN retract poll showing big Biden lead

    President Trump's reelection campaign has sent a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker demanding that the network retract its recent poll showing Trump trailing Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden by 14 points.
    "All polls that show Trump losing are fake! Believe us! But don't look at them!"

    That whole wearing an African scarf or whatever it's called and kneeling is just so bizarre and weird. Five minutes ago that would have been considered cultural appropriation. Panderfest 2020 has got me really confused.

    To be honest, do you remember 2016 CNN polls? This is deja vu.

    You mean the ones that were well within the margin of error?

    And if they are fake or whatever, then why is Trump's campaign so bent out of shape about them?

    While leftists dream delirious dreams of ousting Trump, going from one fantasy to anther; collusion, impeachment, anarchy, etc., I think back on my favorite moment of the Obama presidency. Even Joe Biden was halfway coherent back then.

    After riffing the ranks of almost all the competent officers and replacing them with politically correct globalist minded yes men, they still managed to give him a great parting ceremony. If nothing else, it should prove an enlightenment to our enemies that even the worst officers we have can still provide an excellent display of military precision. It was magnificent:

    Trump did some things right, but to be honest, at the time he is the outsider. Also, 85% chance to win doesn't mean you will win. It means that 5/6 you will win. That happened to Hillary, the 1/6 chance: Commey decided to open her nothingburger email scandal. And then, everything went downhill for Hillary.

    But, she had 85% to win. She was just somewhat unlucky to get the 15%. It's as if you need 2 or more in a game of monopoly to not land on the bad square... and you roll "1".


    On the other hand, where Trump is much better positioned this time around is that his base is stable and the independents know what to expect from a Trump presidency.
    It was not a smooth sailing but we didn't see what we were told to expect. The world is still spinning, there was no nuclear attack on Poland, Trump's deregulation worked very well for the economy, the people in Obamacare were not thrown on their butt, there's no multi-billion wall with Mexico, the press may be maligned daily but it is still free.
    There's also much smaller presence of USA in the Middle East and there's a crackdown on illegal immigration. There's again a focus on "buying American".

    And the best of the best: The SJWs that the 90% loathes are crying, their lamentations a sweet song in our ears.

    Despite Trump's example, deflection and acting like a child doesn't actually make inconvenient facts go away.

    I'll ask again, if the poll is fake, why is the Trump campaign so afraid of it?

    Yeah, for example, he rolled back a regulation that made it necessary for oil and gas companies to monitor methane leaks and fix them. That one is expected to save those companies about 20 million dollars. What a big load of money for something trivial...

    Trump did because it was an unnecessary duplication of something that was already taking place:

    Those 20 million dollar hits add up to a lot of money when you have hundreds of them.

    If it was a duplicate there was no money to save since the companies would already be meeting its requirements already. Clearly, it was not.

    The irony of this post is that in Monopoly you can't roll a "1".

    Also, as the game goes on, you will roll the dice enough times that you will see a statistical collection of dice rolls for {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} or to put it another way, {{1,1},{1,2},{1,3},{1,4},{1,5},{1,6},{2,1},{2,2},....,{6,5},{6,6}} and they will likely form a statistically likely collection of rolls given you are forming a lot of rolls(see concept of bell curve).

    Whereas, for an election in one year, we only have one election with one year. It could go one way, or the other. If we literally went and had ten elections over a 3-4 months as events occurred, we would likely form a statistically likely formation of results. As events change and as they effect the voters no less(the perfect example of current events effecting elections is Kentucky's Senatorial Primary getting its table flipped by current events). But all we get is one election.
    One thing is for certain: the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
    -Neil deGrasse Tyson

    Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

    this is the dumbest lie liberals tell themselves about 2016. She was going down hill the whole time in favorability.
