US Politics, April 2020 -- Where's the Vax Returns?

In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. … Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

If everyone starts wearing TRUMP 2020 masks, I bet they tell us to STOP wearing them!

— Sandy Schneider (@sandyaschneider) April 23, 2020

The byline's a warning, but now we got some people on the record.

Republicans were taken aback this past week by the results of a 17-state survey commissioned by the Republican National Committee. It found the president struggling in the Electoral College battlegrounds and likely to lose without signs of an economic rebound this fall, according to a party strategist outside the R.N.C. who is familiar with the poll’s results.

The Trump campaign’s own surveys have also shown an erosion of support, according to four people familiar with the data, as the coronavirus remains the No. 1 issue worrying voters.

Polling this early is, of course, not determinative: In 2016 Hillary Clinton also enjoyed a wide advantage in many states well before November.

Yet Mr. Trump’s best hope to win a state he lost in 2016, Minnesota, also seems increasingly challenging. A Democratic survey taken by Senator Tina Smith showed the president trailing by 10 percentage points there, according to a Democratic strategist who viewed the poll.

The private data of the two parties is largely mirrored by public surveys. Just last week, three Pennsylvania polls and two Michigan surveys were released showing Mr. Trump losing outside the margin of error. And a pair of Florida polls were released that showed Mr. Biden enjoying a slim advantage in a state that is all but essential for Republicans to retain the presidency.

The date.

The fact that there are warnings like "Do not drink" on bottles of bleach makes me realise that Donald Trump can become president.

Does anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists? Noble is defined as, “having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.” Does sarcasm ever work?

The Least Funny Man In The World Wonders Why People Don't Realize He's Being Funny

no, sarcasm neeeever works, i don't see it working all the time, no one understands it

(shits pants) Sarcasm!

Completely incoherent, total lack of urgency. Rambling, defensive, bloodless. We’re on week 7 of this and Pelosi is just now getting around to perhaps, maybe sorta considering a basic income—e.g. the only policy that can meaningfully counter the GOP’s “open the economy” narrative https://t.co/vQsjZL6HSY

— Adam H. Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) April 27, 2020

it's not sarcasm it's a fucking play on words you pathetic sack of horseshit

That tweet is just a bunch of name calling and arrogant overconfidence in his own strategic brilliance. Adam Johnson can bite Pelosi's ass.

Adam Johnson's photo makes me think he bathes in dumpster water. It does not inspire confidence in his strategy prescriptions.

Grancy look like she smells like my grandma, who was buried 41 years ago

just getting down to your level DNCers

I'm considering it a personal victory that I didn't for even a second think the briefings were actually going to end

that Adam Johnson tweet is so bizarre

"I agree with the position Sen. Pelosi's wishes to regard, but she is late in arriving at it & I fuckin hate her, and she did not sound mad enough when she made her statement. Only by yelling like me can we establish your bona fides"

His browser history must be a fucking horrorshow...

WaPo’s headline over the weekend was “House Dems sideline themselves” or something like that

JCLC you know very well that Pelosi will have to be dragged into supporting BMI

the Dems are drifting and I've seen this movie before, just not as an apocalyptic horror matinee

the Dems aren't meeting your standards??? well this is the 1st we're hearing of it!

I sense he’s pretty hated around here but Adam Johnson’s podcast is pretty damn good. I’m a just world those guys would be in NPR.

Nancy is a disgrace and needs to be primaried.

*In a just

FTR "Grancy" is ALMOST as clever as "Obummer" so, points for that.

well I think *** **** wd get me banned

hen...faps?

"I sense he’s pretty hated around here but Adam Johnson’s podcast is pretty damn good." maybe, but like almost every other leftist pundit he's fucking smug and annoying on Twitter.

Granny Dainger, are they meeting YOUR standards?

My mom got a letter today from Trump telling her about the stimulus check he sent her?

Guessing that’s the campaign’s way of getting his signature in front of people who got direct deposits.

like a kid telling his mom about the turd he left in the toilet

Granny Dainger, are they meeting YOUR standards?

No. Neither does McDonald's but I don't feel the need to constantly talk about how they don't esp to ppl I've voiced this opinion to many many many many times.

Why did the US (NIH) in 2017 give $3.7m to the Wuhan Lab in China?

Such grants were prohibited in 2014.

Did Pres. Obama grant an exception?

— Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) April 26, 2020

I kinda almost wonder at this point if Rudy isn't a dem plant.

I hate to admit it but Rudy brings up a valid point... which is probably why there was such a strong impeachment case against Obama in late 2019.
