Thank you for naming the trial properly. I’m so tired of the hush money bullshit.

SAME!!! It annoys me to no end, especially when I hear it on MSNBC; they should know better that how you frame things matters!!!

Loved the little vignette about Trump pretending to be awake. But I'm not sure how to reconcile Trump's obvious physical and mental decline with this morning's poll results. Make it make sense.

Biden is up over Trump among likely voters. As I read today in Simon Rosenberg's Hopium Substack, NYT made an editorial choice - the likely voter results could have been the lede.

Not hardly. Stop watching corrupt Fake News media, they are all headed to GUAM to the jail they opened especially for them, for lying to people for years.

Only people with land lines are polled.

That's not true, mobile phones are called as well, and it usually doesn't come up as "unknown" but with the polling firm name.

Only democrats are polled by Fake corrupt media.

i think that's a popular misconception, my understanding is that they have been polling using mobile phone numbers for some years now, and to that end, the polling is even more accurate when home phone numbers were used. i know i've been polled heaps of times on my mobile

I had a landline for 50+ years, and a mobile phone for 20+ years, I’m a registered voter who actively votes in every national and local election I’m eligible to vote in and have NEVER gotten a poll call. I’m pretty sure there are MANY people like myself who have never been polled. I say polls schmolls and believe they are not an accurate indicator of how millions of Americans vote.

Do you know by whom? Are they reputable pollsters?

I also lie when I’m called. I say I support Trump when I don’t.

🙋🏾‍♀️Look forward to the podcasts with the "local colour" - love that you pulled it off! (Sounded like a military op 😁)
