The funny part about that is how polling uses people's self answered questions when talking education.
No way to actually validate that narrative.
Also. About 44 percent of America hav a degree. Polling often shows people claim a way higher amount.
All that could make sense, except that actual voting trends at the macro level (highly educated city/suburban precincts voting overwhelmingly for democrats) supports the validity of such polls.

Yeah, all those wealthy/highly educated precincts are filled with Marxist-Leninists.
Grow up.

What are your thoughts on the guy you have described as “cute and harmless” declaring Japan as xenophobic?
1. It is true.
2. He shouldn't have said it out loud.
By the way, not "cute an harmless." I referred to Leonard Cohen saying that at a certain age an old man goes from being revolting to being adorable ...

Wait. So the Dems are targeting and banking on the uneducated youth to sway the election..
Not only do the Dems love the uneducated. They target and bank on them.
Biden won college-educated white women by 9 points in 2020. This survey has him ahead by 17 with them.
Trump won college-educated white men by 3 points in 2020, but now Biden is ahead by 10 points with them.
Biden also has a lead among older voters. The erosion in his support is coming from younger and minority voters.
So other than that, you synopsis is correct. 🙄

Or he is a dem with no income and it's the usual with how bad NY did bail reform.
Ie, no one is a victim so it's a victimless crime.
Well I don't see anywhere in the story that he actually had explosive devices.
But yes, the NY bail reform law is awful.

If they want to repeal the 14th Amendment, come right out and say it. Otherwise just STFU.

Wait. So the guy called in a threat and had explosive devices and he was released till his court date?
That's because there's good reason to believe that Ray Epps egged him on.

Notice how quickly the approved Trumpy narrative changed.
Yesterday: antifa has infiltrated student demonstrations. See, we were right! They're a bunch of communists!
Today: they are pretending these student protests are not really student protests. Don't fall for it!

Well, he got better.
I think his wife is the brains behind the Fetterman brand.

Who ya got?
Is it too much to ask for a presidential candidate that hasn't used an alias for shady deals?

I like how Fetterman went from brain-dead lurch to America's leading truth-sayer the minute he started saying culturally conservative things.

Nevermind, Kristi. The dog was 14 months old, so depending on what definition you prefer, perhaps not a puppy. Shoot the bastard!

It's in Tim's article. She has a degree in geology from U. Pittsburgh and is an executive with JKLM Energy, one of Pegula's two petroleum/gas business. I believe somewhere else it said her brother is an executive working for East Enterprises (or maybe it was Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas?), which is the other Pegula core business. So she's a businesswoman with experience running things and managing people, albeit not sports teams.
Right. It sounds like she's smart and has good management skills, so it shouldn't be that surprising that Terry looked to her as the next in line.

Yeah, but you're not one of the 1% boomers playing the game and screwing everyone over.
Just pointing out that someone's gonna inherit that accumulated wealth.
Sometimes I think the kids of boomers are just annoyed that they are too healthy and living too long.

And do what? The boomers are in a death rattle, but they still want to control the present, control the future, hoard all the cash, pay no taxes, and do no good. They're finishing the game they started in the 80's: he who dies with the highest net worth wins. They really let this country down in the end, IMO.
Well, as one of the tail-end boomers who's sinking a ton of money into the human capital of his kids (college and beyond), I don't think Gen Z has anything to complain about.

The Repubs and Dems will both have to find a bullpen.
Yes. It still amazes me that three decades after we apparently passed the leadership torch to the baby boomer generation, we've somehow reverted back to leadership by the ancient pre-Boomer generation.
Will someone step up? Gen X, I'm looking at you.

"Fair share" is the dumbest statement in the history of tax utterances. Give me a hard number - % of income.
That's one for you, nineteen for me.

Perfect. I had not seen the second video. There is no better response to the fools who keep saying it was a "mass trespassing incident." He came in violence, and will no doubt be spending the next 6+ years in prison.

With the amount of faculty involved, they seem more complicit than surprised.
I'm sorry we didn't get to the "evacuate or you'll be expelled" thing. That would've called their bluff.
Meanwhile, the little careerists at Harvard are doing their own protest in a much more genteel (hah!) manner:
From limited press coverage and videos, I expected that rank-and-file demonstrators would decline to talk and would refer me to designated spokespeople. I expected demonstrators to hold up keffiyehs to hide their faces. Instead, I found a semicircle of 10 people who spoke with me for an hour. I asked them to help me understand why they were in the yard. Initially they referred me to their banner, with three demands focusing on divestment from Israel-related companies. I told them this was small-bore thinking, useless because others would replace any withdrawn investment, and also intellectually timid because they weren’t engaging on the big ideas of how to solve the conflict. They replied that they are only students. I pointed out that they are Harvard students and should be able to engage intellectually.

Something you could put on your resume as demonstrating commitment to DEI without actually causing a ruckus!

The GOP bullpen is a mess
True.
That's because Trump has turned it into a pure Cult of Personality. We saw that with how DeSantis (more Trumpy than Trump on policy) fizzled. There is never a Juan Peron Jr. And Melania ain't Evita even if she were eligible.
To be fair, that's what happened with Obama too. There was a kind of Cult of Personality there too, and Hillary (and then Biden) clearly didn't have the same political talent.
I don't know where the Republicans go in 2028 whether or not Trump wins. I do see some new talent on the Democratic side. Watch out for Wes Moore. I don't even know much about him on the policy side, but he's got the "it" factor.

You know that "Succession" is a television program, yes? Also, that Logan Roy is a fictional character, and that he probably wasn't shot up with anything at all.
It is quite conceivable to me that Biden was given medication intended to improve focus, energy and to boost his concentration. I wouldn't necessarily fault a candidate for that, within reason. And if the medicine for his moderate to severe arthritis would control the stutter that causes him to make up words and misremember things like which world leaders he spoke with recently are dead or alive, or that his uncle was the victim of cannibals in Guam, all the better I suppose.
I'm just saying that I've personally seen the incredible (and very short term) effects of a cortisone injection on someone with severe arthritis. High-dose Prednisone too. It just makes sense to me that the "energetic" Joe may have more to do with the timing of these typical old guy meds than with some extraordinary amphetamine thing as has been speculated about way too much.

What's incorrect in the article?
I'll admit I just skimmed it quickly, but it obviously cites to specific Facebook groups and their recruitment efforts. Which is, after all, the point of the article - that they are "coordinating on Facebook."
Wouldn't this suggest the opposite, namely that Dems are confident that Biden will win and that militants right-wingers will try to do a better organized Jan 6 this time around?
