DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find
placeholder replied to placeholder's topic in Political Soapbox
Another stupid empty allegation about my nationality. And the fact is there are lots of known Americans not jumping for joy. So that makes your comment doubly stupid. -

What about that is transparent? Do you know what transparent means? It doesn't seem like it. -

Except it wasn't theft. It was a canceled contract. Stop making things up. -

Another example of truthiness. A claim can be exaggerated a thousand times but that's somehow legit. -

How about claiming an 8 billion dollar saving when it was actually 8 million? That's just one of many. -
Never has a politician been so unethical on such a massive scale. The Trump memecoin episode alone is remarkable. In effect, it makes bribery completely undetectable. And he wants to end a war he's spouted a huge amount of lies about. He's backing a dude building EVs who just donated 100 million dollars to his war chest. If he wants to back EVs, ;then he should back all the domestically manufactured ones. And didn't he call these manufacturers "thugs" in his Xmas message? So, tell me, when Biden was president, did you just bite your tongue and wait for his term to pass? How about Obama? I consistently offer evidence and reasoning. How is that compatible with "crying and frothing"? Maybe you're projecting?

Deflecting much? The fact is that Elon Musk has now made it impossible for his claims to be fact-checked. Why would an honest person do that? Of course, it is not surprising from someone whose massive falsehoods have repeatedly been exposed. -
Well, I guess it depends on how you feel about hypocrisy, for one thing. And yes it is wrong if he promotes just one company and not an industry. And it's obviously unethical for Trump to be using his office to boost the financial fortunes of a partisan.

Even RCP Polling Average has Trump in Negative Territory

As usual you resort to an unfounded and irrelevant allegation because you've got nothing -

So once again you're back to defending one month as a valid indicator of a trend. And what makes your comment even more ridiculous is that Trump's critics are claiming that his actions will result in inflation. Not that they have. He delayed his tariffs until March. He's barely begun deporting immigrants. Give it 6 months. -

It's what they thought on election day. Strong Indications are that they've been surprised and not in a good way. -

Typical vague charges and characterizing activities as stealing. You mean stealing as in criminal theft? -

How convenient your memory is. It was hugely popular among right wingers. The only serious opposition came from the left. The party in power didn't just lose seats. This is like sayingat there's not significant difference between a firecracker and a stick of dynamite because both are explosives. As for you never claimed it was dispositive... Here's your headline for that topic you posted: Inflation Cools, Showing Trump is Right and his Critics were WRONG AGAIN Either you were sleepwriting or you don't know what "dispositive" means. -

Nice circular question. You characterize the sudden decline in stocks as circular in your question. I will say this for you. This is a rare case where you practice transparency. After all, your ploy is utterly transparent. -

I remember how enthusiastic right wingers were about the Iraq War. All the fox news hosts pinned American flags to their clothing. How did that work out? For that matter, how did the midterm elections go the last time Trump was in office? You don't seem to understand that the consequences of actions take time to unfold. But then, you're the party who claimed that a 1 month inflation report was dispositive. -

Do you really believe that using fake statistics makes your claims more plausible? You certainly make a habit of it. -

I'm not your gofer. I've provided a link. Even Trafalgar has Trump down by 4 points since February 9. -

You are clueless about trends. And even without the 11% figure, it would show Trump slightly behind. Even polls that tend to give Trump higher marks have shown a decline in support. -

I offer facts and all you've got is an old saw to reply with. You've got nothing. How do I feel about Schumer's reversal? Relief. Now the blame will fall entirely on the Republicans. Except, as I've noted, for MAGA folks who will find a conspiracy to blame. -

Interesting how acute your BS detectors are when it comes to far-fetched conspiracy allegations targeting you. You need to get them recalibrated so that they function full time and for all targets. -

When the POTUS repeatedly utters huge falsehood and authorizes actions so stupid that they defy belief, using OMG is appropriate. -

It's clear you haven't a clue about trends. And, as I pointed out, the Real Clear Politics method of determining polling average is ludicrously simple-minded. For one thing, it takes no account of recency. That means when someone's favorability is on the upswing, it underplays that. Similarly, it also underplays it when someone's favorability is on the downswing. Silver's poll not only takes recency into account but the pollster's previous accuracy and statistical bias. And for the record, Silver believed that Trump was going to win.
