| Topic | Has the left fully imploded yet? |
| The Great Muta 22 02/20/18 4:00:48 PM #54 | GregShmedley posted... This. Complacency is a bitch; if they want to win, they better come out and play. I really don't think this is going to be a problem and if so, I see it damaging the Republicans more than the Democrats this time around. The idea that "Democrats are lazy for midterms" screams of a narrative that doesn't accurately represent things prior to Obama's win, nor does it reflect all sorts of elections we've seen since November 2016. I was hedging my bets earlier on during the special elections despite them showing a stronger Democrat turnout, especially early on, but after the results in Virginia it was evident more than ever that the enthusiasm isn't going away on the left. Likewise the grassroots push for the Democrats is far higher than I ever remember it being in quite some time, with more of a coordinated effort to push everywhere as much as possible. And as for Republicans, I don't know how much rub he's going to be able to give voters to go out and vote to keep everyone in power. The Republican party revolting back against the Democrats was something that slowly built up over the last decade until they eventually took Congress and the Presidency. However maintaining that passion is far harder than to build it up. This doesn't take into account a House map that is really unfavorable for Republican. I expect them to keep the Senate, though some states will flip around. But the House is extremely vulnerable. --- |

| Topic | Columbine survivor introduces bill to expand concealed-carry in schools |
| The Great Muta 22 02/20/18 11:29:55 AM #47 | voldothegr8 posted... Jeff AKA Snoopy posted...As a teacher this is horrifying and scary. I assume because many teachers don't feel comfortable or want the responsibility involved. Which, obviously this bill wouldn't make it mandatory for teachers to be armed but it's reasonable to imagine why many teachers wouldn't be in favor of this. Not to mention you couldn't make it mandatory because it'd be a logistical nightmare and waste thousands of dollars across the country to locations that simply couldn't afford them. The thing with allowing teachers to be armed on school grounds on their own basis is that it would require mass oversight to adhere guidelines are being properly followed and the risks don't outweigh the potential consequences. As nice as it would be to believe every teacher who did comply would be stringent about having the weapon securely on them at all moments, all it would take is one absent minded teacher to potentially cause a horrific incident. Not to mention things like there would have to be a complete code of silence on which teachers are armed, as to not call attention to and entice any potential danger. Especially in schools where crime and gangs are serious issues. Then there is the issue of this being implemented on a local, state, or federal level and how that would work with teachers. I just don't know how an effective policy could be to allow this. --- |
| Topic | Trump approval rating average surges to 43%. Close to par of Obama's 2nd term. |
| The Great Muta 22 02/20/18 9:49:27 AM #52 | Good lord what a disgusting misrepresentation of data and polling. 538's rating on Trump isn't "trending up and will continue while Obama's stagnated", Trump has consistently hovered around 38%-42% after the rub of the first 100 days ran off and until we see more evidence of an increase, the trends show it will stay around that. Obama meanwhile hovered around the 46%-50% his entire first year, with dips and peaks depending on events. Meanwhile comparing 538s model to RCP average is completely stupid as well, as it doesn't use the same polls and weigh them the same. RCP has Trump sitting with an average of 41.6. The average of Obama's second term was 45.9. The ONLY time it dipped close to where Trump is was during 2014 where he still beats Trump presently. Just, such a bad use of stats and polling --- |

These incomplete analyses have often created misleading perceptions which adversely affect geographic entities and their residents. For this reason, the FBI has a longstanding policy against ranking participating law enforcement agencies on the basis of crime data alone. Despite repeated warnings against these practices, some data users continue to challenge and misunderstand this position. --- |

So his political views are about as important as the political views of the Democrats that kill each other in Chicago and Baltimore. Cruz said he hated black people simply because they were black; Cruz hated Jews because he believed they wanted to destroy the world. After one member expressed hatred for gay people, Cruz agreed, saying, "Shoot them in the back of head." White women drew Cruz's hatred as well, specifically those in interracial relationships, whom he referred to repeatedly as traitors. During one of the anti-Semitic rants in the chat, Cruz spoke of his birth mother, saying, "My real mom was a Jew. I am glad I never met her." "He seemed nice but also had some mental issues," one member told CNN. "All (I know) is that he likes guns and really hates liberals." As cliche and tired out as this phrase has become... Yikes. --- |
