    Mickey Mouse is tossing Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight:

    “@NateSilver538
    Disney layoffs have substantially impacted FiveThirtyEight. I am sad and disappointed to a degree that’s kind of hard to express right now. We’ve been at Disney almost 10 years. My contract is up soon and I expect that I’ll be leaving at the end of it.”

    Bitter, your 1st poll on the site:

    Trump’s indictment has not hurt his polling:

    Real Clear Politics: Polling, Trump vs. Biden:
    Average 4/11 – 5/8. Still very close:

    Trump 44.2%
    Biden 43.5%
    Trump +0.7

    Very true.

    Thankfully, I spend half of each month in Utah, where Republicans dominate. It is amazing the difference. Thriving state with booming economy, and focus on families and traditional values.

  7. Thanks, SDC. Unlike HHR, this is not primarily a polling site. Of course, HHR was not really a polling site. Polls are, of corse, welcome.

  10. These Biden-Trump polls are really worthless….not just because they are waaaay too early in the process. No, mainly because there is no way in hell Democrats are going to run dementia Joe, They will unite around another candidate and force Biden out of the race. They aren’t going to risk losing with Biden and all his baggage any more than they were with Bernie. It’s not how they roll. Biden will be suddenly shown the door. If you are no longer of use to the Democratic Party you get the trap door treatment.

    Powerful clip from Kari Lake’s attorney Kurt Olsen:

    “Maricopa’s log file data shows that 11 of these signature verification workers approved 170K signatures at a rate of between 0 and 2.99 seconds with a 99.97% approval rating. That’s not signature review, your Honor.”

    Thanks for letting us all in the lifeboat. I expect it to grow during the election season as we all become proficient in navigating the site. It will be good to see some of the old posters return eventually.

    First, the Durham report. They spied on trump and blocked investigations into her Thighness.

    They got caught having embeds on j6. This means they knew about j6 and did not prevent it. What were the fib and other federal assets doing?
