well no, all polls have a bias, some worse than others, best method is just to look at an average of polls, but even then there will still be a margin of error.

It also depends on where a person stands politically whether this person believe a poll or not.
Wonder how much a poll that show Biden with more than 50 % approval would be trusted here in this thread. Markus

Hey, believe what you want to believe. I mean, that's what you'll do, anyway. There are still Trump devotees who believe with all their heart that Trump won the last presidential election and that Trump will be reinstated on (what's it up to now? Thanksgiving?) and refuse to believe that 'cyber ninjas' found more votes for Biden than Trump in Arizona. So don't mind me laughing. I'm just hoping Billy Bob Joe Wayne so-n-so doesn't lose his mind when the latest thing he believes in lets him down and he decides to shoot up a hospital, daycare, church, or mall because of it. I want it to stay funny, not turn tragic.

^ I don't believe a thing when it comes to politics and politicians.
I believe in myself and my cat. Markus

The CJCS will hand over the nuclear authorization codes to the Chinese Communist Party to make sure "Democrtacy" is safe from a Populist takeover.

Sorry, Otto, that general has more gumption and courage, more intelligence and wisdom, more patriotism and devotion to the nation than you could imagine having. But you just stumbled over a meme that you though was 'clever' and decided to share it with this community ... for some reason.

The fact of the matter is that collusion and cheating by the Democrats to forcibly get Biden votes that he didn't earn legally by voters actually interested in voting for him isn't an inconceivable occurrence. Is there enough of it to have swayed the election? Who knows because no one is willing to actually audit the ballots in most states. Arizona's results were purposely reported out of context to claim Biden won even harder even though the results show duplicate absentee ballots counted and over 50,000 invalid ballots counted. No one is demanding to make Trump president for a 2nd term, they're just demanding that only valid ballots be counted and that they are counted accurately. They want it to be easy to vote but nearly impossible to cheat - and that isn't too much to ask for. It's just that members of both parties have been cheating for so long they've forgotten that they're cheating and act shocked when called on it. And it's not about elections - it's about society as a whole. When politicians, CEOs, models, actors, etc. do something we all know is illegal or immoral and get away with it but a truck driver or electrician would get thrown in jail, it's a problem. It comes down to what we tell our children about doing their best and playing fair as they are growing up, and then they see that some people are cheaters and are rewarded for it. Don't get me wrong - socialism is a cancer, but crony capitalism is also a problem - and it is so entrenched with politics that it needs to be broken. No lobbyists. No donations from corporations. Term limits for every elected office. Last edited by 3catcircus; 10-05-21 at 05:00 PM. |

I don't care *what* you think of a president - your job is to obey his orders as CinC, not second-guess him and decide which orders to obey. Obey or resign the position. |

His record speaks for itself. You speak for something else.

Heh. His primary responsibility is to the Constitution and the nation. It was more than 'thinking (opinion) of the president.'

Primary is to defend the Constitution
Isn't the President a part of the Constitution ? Markus

https://www.thebalancecareers.com/mi...orders-3332819 "The military oath taken at the time of induction into the military is as follows: "I,____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God" Notice the oath states, “I will obey the orders of the President of the United States...”, but the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 90 states that military personnel need to obey the "lawful orders of his/her superior. The duty and obligation to obey lawful orders creates no grey area for discussion. But does the military member have a duty to DISOBEY “unlawful orders” including orders of senior officers, Secretary of Defense and even the President of the United States? The UCMJ actually protects the soldier in this situation as he/she has a moral and legal obligation to the Constitution and not to obey unlawful orders and the people who issue them. These have to be strong examples of a direct violation of the Constitution and the UCMJ and not the military member’s own opinion. Military discipline and effectiveness are built on a foundation of obedience to orders. Recruits are taught to obey orders from their superiors immediately and without question, right from day one of boot camp." tRump had already displayed publicly an incredible disassociation from reality. And now there are reports of instances where he was worse in private. Milly was witness to many of those moments that were out of the public eye. tRump's embarrassed. tRump's pissed. tRump wants you to be, too. Even if Milly did us all a favor (him included).
