Let's all go back to high school science class and recognize that accuracy <> precision

look, I was speaking in laymans' terms ok

Trafalgar was neither the most accurate nor the most precise in 2020 anyway though

IIRC, Trafalgar put out a poll not too long ago suggesting NY governor was a toss-up within like 2 points and more contested than like... Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Tulsi went on Rogan again, it was a 2 hour podcast and an hour of it was TERF/gender essentialism, the other half was Tulsi saying "Dems bad, DeSantis good".

Awful, easily disproven shit. Both are basically Ben Shapiro-tier hacks, sad as hell.

Yeah...this dude wants to lose.

thats a tweet from two years ago, so I dont think you can really draw a conclusion about Ozs desire to win his current senate race from that

I assume theres a good chance that this gets lowered, but wow:

It'll probably get lowered on appeal. By a lot. That's more than Exxon Mobil ended up owing for the Alaska oil spill after 20 years of appeals.

Man, everyone who said we need to give the cops more money so they can afford cameras and then they'll behave was so full of shit. I mean, we knew that at the time, but it gets more obvious every day.

Cop claims that a driver does not have the right to roll their window up if they're driving when a cop is nearby, and anyone filming the incident will also be tackled, arrested, pepper sprayed, and have their phone taken from them.

Edit - so this is from last year and both officers were moved to a different town's force, and the guy who got pepper sprayed got paid by the city with taxpayer $.

Better than before when all of it would just not be recorded

Sure, but all the promised behavior changes failed to materialize. We were assured! /s

I love how DJT Jr. says he doesn't really understand any accounting principles. He learned a bit at Wharton, but really he was there to drink and party.

Nobody said they would necessarily behave. They said they would be able to be held accountable for when they do something wrong.

Unanimous vote, 9-0, to subpoena Trump from the Jan6 Committee.

Says they could make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice now, but that's its not the purpose of the committee to decide how to proceed with prosecution.

Meanwhile at the 1/6 Committee... (I started writing this before the above post so pretend it's more "Also at the 1/6 committee...")

Damn.

The way he says Chapo lol

Tonight is the only Warnock/Walker debate and it's going to be a trainwreck.

I'm amazed Walker's people agreed to any debate at all.

They've refused debates several times now before the stories broke, knowing that he wasn't capable of it. The polls are starting to go further left, and from what I understand new voter registrations are leaning heavily towards blue areas of the state, so he really has nothing to lose.

But there's absolutely nothing he can gain from this either, honestly. He's already told his spins on Fox, and anyone who would be swayed by his stories already watches Fox.

Jfc, this guy

My dude Walker just literally pulled out that fake deputy badge of his and said "no see I AM a cop!"

Walker, Georgia Ranger?

"I'm all for cutting insulin, but first of all, you gotta eat right. If you don't eat right, insulin won't do anything for you. You need to reduce gas prices so they can afford insulin."

Last time I got gas here in GA it was like $2.60~ BTW, like 2 weeks ago.

Words don't do enough for the badge thing, you gotta see it.

Probably did not expect to be met with laughter.

Didnt know if this was a Politics post or deserved its own topic, but the Alaskan Snow Crab season has been canceled because 90% of crabs are justmissing.

This seems like an extremely terrifying marker of whats to come.

I thought about posting that but decided not to because it's not really political.

It's certainly not good

Sorry guys that was me. I was hungry.

But no that shit's definitely fucked up.

Not surprised.

I ate some crab legs a month ago. Would be fine if that's the last time (in favour of them letting the species repopulate)

To put it lightly, things are not going well in Haiti.

I don't think I've ever heard of anything going well in Haiti, but feel free to tell us more.

Yeah, I dont remember a time when it was ever advisable to travel to haiti

Y/N does Liz Truss outlast this topic?

The US and Canada are sending military equipment to the police to fight against gangs raiding sources of food and medicine, while Haitian activists are saying that the gangs are people taking action to protect themselves during perilous times.

Meanwhile, infrastructure is fucked everywhere, and theres an outbreak of cholera with an estimated 600 victims in Port Au Prince so far, and there are fears it will continue to spread, as its transmitted by water.

By all accounts, fairly apocalyptic.

How much of that is actually unusual versus just normal Haiti stuff? Like, the gangs sound like a new thing but I feel like the rest of it isn't that rare for them.

Walker a no show at the debate tonight.
