And yet the ny post poll has him winning 47 to 40.

Yes because the Republican Politicians have become as stupid as the democrat politicians ever since Obama. They are concentrating on social issues and pushing back n things that moderates really don’t give a shit about and are really just pissing them off. If republicans would leave that shit alone and just focus on the economy, they’d win elections by a landslide and would win ‘24. However, they are becoming increasingly stupid on the campaign trail.

Has anyone ever studied that? In my mind it makes sense, cause I generally agree with it. But I am not sure it is true. Seems like it would win college educated males in a landslide, but do they need the people voting on the cultural bullshit to fill in the gap in order to get a majority? I think that is how we have gotten to the point that it feels like the tail is wagging the dog, with elected republicans cos-playing to the base while hoping the people that care about their economic positions can see the game they are playing.

Meanwhile, while *some guys* just can’t get away from 7 years ago.

Per Gallup:
35% of U.S. adults name inflation as their family’s top financial problem, highest in Gallup’s 19-year trend.
All caused by Dem and Biden policies. With the accompanying bank failures.
LETS GO BRANDON!!

I am shocked it is only 35% . Things have not looked good in awhile.

That ach thing is weird. And they're suppose to wait for it to reverse?
Meanwhile, one here decided to overstate things just a little; not sure if it's lost or was just "overstated."
Also not sure we keep balanced books in our state.

I am sure they will just add the miscalculation onto the ever growing national debt. Maybe we could tax the likes of Bill Gates and Elon Musk a few million a year to go directly towards paying off the debt. Maybe some of the billions being sent overseas could be spent paying off the national debt. Maybe cut the excessive wasteful spending this federal government. Just a suggestion.

Maybe our republican and democratic friends can share how their affiliated party is going to reduce the national debt. No matter what party is in charge, the national debt continues to increase.

Importantly, Durham established that there was an Oval Office meeting that included President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in which the lack of any actual evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign and Hillary Clinton's promulgation of this false narrative to the intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and the media, was established. This is precisely why this scandal is sometimes referred to as "Obamagate."

Specifically Durham's report says, "What the FBI knew from its intelligence collections as of early 2017. As the record reflects, as of early 2017, the FBI still did not possess any intelligence showing that anyone associated with the Trump campaign was in contact with Russian intelligence officers during the campaign.”

Indeed, based on declassified documents from early 2017, the FBI's own records show that reports published by The New York Times in February and March 2017 concerning what four unnamed current and former U.S. intelligence officials claimed about Trump campaign personnel being in touch with any Russian intelligence officers was untrue.

These unidentified sources reportedly stated that (i) U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted communications of members of Trump's campaign and other Trump associates that showed repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election; (ii) former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had been one of the individuals picked up on the intercepted "calls;" and (iii) the intercepted communications between Trump associates and Russians had been initially captured by the NSA.

However, official FBI documentation reflects that all three of these highly concerning claims of Trump-related contacts with Russian intelligence were untrue. Indeed, in a contemporaneous critique of the Times article prepared by Peter Strzok, who was steeped in the details of Crossfire Hurricane, all three of the above-referenced allegations were explicitly refuted.
