    Nah Bill
    Just posting the FACTS about election polls showing Trump losing in the majority of swing states. That’s the published numbers at this time. Especially Arizona which is joining the Left Coast with a sure flip for Senator and Biden with a persistent lead over Trump.

    Better get your money back Emery on what you spent on those second rate polls.
    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/05/20/poll-president-trump-edging-out-joe-biden-in-key-battleground-states/
    “President Trump is edging out Joe Biden, the Democrat Party’s presumptive nominee, in key battleground states and is also leading in support among independent voters in those states, a CNBC/Change Research poll released Wednesday revealed.
    The survey, taken among 5,408 likely voters in the battleground states Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin from May 15 to May 17, showed the president holding an edge over Biden, 48 percent to 46 percent — a lead just outside the 1.9 percent margin of error.”
    Tough to be a Poll humper these days Emery.

It’s a top priority…just like don’t call the Wuhan Virus the Wuhan Virus or don’t call the CCP the Chinese Communist Party. Don’t call Commie Bastards commie bastards.

    Nice try, oh obsessed with dry humping one. Next time find a knot hole in an oak tree.
    1) We all know that Flynn was not masked concerning the mid-December, 2016 phone call with the Russian Ambassador. What the issue is the unprecedented requests for unmasking by the Obama Administration after the crooks had the Flynn-Russian Ambassador’s transcripts in hand, unmasked.
    2). Please at least try to pay attention and take your dry humping comments about Obamagate to the proper place….in Scattershots. I know that may be a bit of a stretch for you to follow protocol.

    The charges, and guilty plea, include conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democrat candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections and a violation of the Travel Act. ”

    “DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear,” ”
    “According to the indictment, the political consultant allegedly solicited payments from Democrat candidates who hired him, classifying them as “consulting fees.” The payments — which ranged from $300 to $5,000 — were then allegedly used to pay Election Board Officials, such as DeMuro, in exchange for those officials illegally adding votes for the consultants’ Democrat candidates.”

    “George: yeah, sorry”
    We are each responsible for our own conduct. Saying I did so and so because another upset me is a cop out. Like, you ripped me off and screwed by wife so I burned your house down doesn’t fly. I did so and so because he said blah blah blah. Instead, try saying “I did this, Period. Full stop. No becauses allowed. “I did this. End of sentence.”
    Blaming others for your conduct is what children do. Why pick on me? Johnny (or Bush) did it too!
    Saying sorry is lame. Try saying I was wrong. No because. If you admit that your actions are wrong, then you have to change your behavior. Saying “sorry” allows you to keep doing what you are doing and absolve yourself….and worse, blame others for your own conduct which all of us are each responsible for.
    Sorry…but, but, but, but I am a counterpuncher and I return fire. So, it’s others fault. Me thinks your “sorry” is neither sincere nor enough to affect change, your sorry sumbitch. Rather than a countepuncher, you are more like Punchy…a dope on the ropes. But, then again, we never see ourselves as others see us.

    Daily Quotes, a link, and a meme:
    Insight: “The production of wealth is the result of agreement between labor and capital, between employer and employed. Its distribution, therefore, will follow the law of its creation, or great injustice will be done.” —Leland Stanford (1824-1893)
    For the record: “The president has the unilateral right to choose who he wants to be his inspector general at every agency in the federal government. They are presidentially confirmed positions, and those persons just like all of us serve at the pleasure of the president of the United States. In this case, I recommended to the president that Steve Linick be terminated. I frankly should have done it some time ago.” —Mike Pompeo
    Observations: “In Minnesota, retail establishments can open up at 50 percent capacity. Churches can only have ten people. Hopefully even the bootlickers who’ve so far defended the government’s non-existent right to shutdown churches will admit that this is an assault on religious liberty.” —Matt Walsh
    Braying jenny: “It’s like a child who comes in with mud on their pants… He comes in with doggy doo on his shoes and everybody who works with him has that on their shoes, too, for a very long time to come.” —Nancy Pelosi continuing the schoolyard taunts about Trump’s weight and rhetoric
    You would definitely know! “As we know, power corrupts.” —Joe Biden
    Non compos mentis: “Anyone who wants to ask, ‘Why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes?’ it’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC guidance. They should ask President Trump. I think that will stop the conversation.” —Gov. Andrew Cuomo (“Cuomo is not only incompetent and corrupt but also a total coward. The fact that the media prop him up as a hero is humiliating for all involved.” —Allie Beth Stuckey)
    And last… “Donald Trump is a rough individual. He is vain, insensitive, and raw. But he loves America more than any President in my lifetime. He is the last firewall between us and he cesspool called Washington. I’ll take him any day over any of these bums.” —James Woods
