You mean the general elections elect the president? I just explained how that happens

Vlad... Let's move on there so many interesting things to talk about

Investigations have led to a great deal

Cheat democracy?

Name one thing the Dems have done this year that is cheating democracy?

You mean cheating democracy like Mitch McConnell not bringing anything to the floor so that Trump can say the Dems do nothing? You mean cheating democracy like not voting on Obama's supreme Court pick even though it was a year-and-a-half before the end of his term?

LOL this whole idea of winning general elections through midterm elections is cheating @pennypal


What does that mean?

What is a way? you mean voting?

Look I'm listening you just have to say something that makes sense.

This is extremely sad

Wining is what counts. Not truth, not integrity, not values. This is what trump has brought us.

I don't care about parties. I don't care about politicians. The America will become a second-rate country if we don't do something

You guys are just contributing to the tribalism

Nope

Trump did far worse?

You think Trump is less empowered?

Yeah lets ignore him

Hi @Ocarao

Just ignore him

Me? Heavens no

You are @Ocarao?

@Ocarao who did you vote for and who are you going to vote for?

12 Republicans who stormed closed-door impeachment proceedings already had permission to attend

Actually. The first "new" wall was just started yesterday in texas.

Pelth...that seems to be anti-trump

is banging a porn star really an impeachable offense?

It is when you use campaign money to cover it up

Do ypu guys really believe Trump cares at all about the US ? Or do you think hes horrible but better than other guys ?

Polling gives likelihood

Not certainty. Its statistics

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-polls-are-all-right/

Ok. It was the state polls for the 2016 election that had a 5.1 margin off. The national polls were 3.1 margin off. That is actually pretty par for the course for polls

It predicts vote count, but it has a margin of error. And vote count is not synonymous with winning

Online polls are completely inaccurate

The ones where they call people are better

They are often actually advertisements

Noo

The polls online are not be a valid ones

Typically, the customer contacts the polling organization and places an order for a poll, specifying what questions are to be asked, when the poll will be conducted, how many people will be interviewed, and how the results will be presented. The pollster then hires a call center to call the agreed upon number of people and, ask them the questions. Some call centers use computers to make the calls and ask the questions, with the respondent keying in the answers

no

No.no.no

Yes they do!

Its not opt in

You just don't know what you're talkin about

You can easily look it up

I verify my answers every time on the internet before I post here.

Nobody forces anybody to do polls

But it is random

At least the high quality polls are

CNN, Fox, Pew, Gartner, Quinnepiac.. All good polling organizations

"What's your view on the Fifth Avenue example?" Judge Denny Chin asked. "Local authorities couldn't investigate, they couldn't do anything about it?"

Consovoy said the president's immunity wasn't permanent, so Chin clarified to ask if they could act while the president was in office.

"No," Consovoy said.


The judge asked does that mean he can shoot somebody on fith avenue and not get arrested?

"That is correct, that is correct," Consovoy responded.

^ king Trump

Those are the trump lawyers in court arguing that he could shoot people and get away with it

Peterson is very interesting. Except that he tends to lump all the left into one bag, Im ok with the rest of what he has to say.

What are you talking about?

If you're talking about uranium...that was debunked

Reality

1. She was 1 of 10 people who had to sign approve the deal. So she was not the deciding vote.
2. The guy from the company who contributed to her foundation had left the company and had no stock in it when that deal happened

I believe her foundation closed years ago

Nope... Just looked it up it still around

The trump foundation however dissolves itself under judicial supervision

You're right. The Clinton foundation did amend 4 years of tax returns

All hell will break loose next week.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday the House would vote on Thursday to formalize the procedures of the impeachment inquiry into Trump and Ukraine, in what will be the first time the House will go on the record on the proceedings.

The vote signals a move into the next stage of the investigation following several weeks of closed-door depositions, as Democrats said the resolution would establish rules for public hearings, provide due process rights for the White House and allow information to be transferred to the committee that would ultimately consider the articles of impeachment.

Then they should commit political suicide. That's what their oath of office demands.

Anything less is the same old politics the trumpers complain about

Trump is a different phenom as are the reasons people vote for him. Im not sure trends are helpful

Its silly to talk about this before the world watches the impeachment.

That may change everything even if hes not removed from office

Need to be more transparent ?!?
We live in the age where political leaks, tell-all, 24/7 news , citizen journalist abound.. We are the most informed
citizenry in history.

We know what every witness so far has said, we have the transcripts of calls and personal text messages

Selectively leaking... Listening to fox news ?
How do you know? Unless you know of something that wasnt leaked then you can't know.

The witnesses have released thier opening statements...thats not a leak

Again
..how do you know?

We live in bizarre times.

You don't make any sense.

The witnesses write thier own statements...not the Dems.

Yup

And like 1/2 of them could get into the meetings

What's ironic ..I heard one of the ones complaining...he could attend...but hadn't gone to any

Itll be a zoo when it goes public

Expect more political stunts

What do you think is going on? I feel like I know everything.

Actually. That was interesting

@Puerto Rican Nelson
Your triangle is just God by another name.

Go to time in video 3:15 to hear about how your triangle created the universe

Why is " begins to exist" a problem ?

Sinclair Lewis?. exposed the horrible practices of the meat industry before regulation in his book the Jungle
Very compelling book
Read it in Junior high

The meat industry was horrific

Doesn't matter what the issue it's just an example of what happens when capitalism is unregulated

There are always new technological issues

It all goes down to who you trust

I agree I don't know about the economic history. What does it matter

That's why we have elected representatives.... To do the research and figure it out

As a private citizen I can't figure out everything

So I vote for people who should be doing that

No I agree they can be bought off...but it's still the way it should work in the way we should fight for it to work

It's the best option we've got

I'm not a progressive. I'm a moderate

Gotcha

I agree we get into trouble when we want simple answers
