Because without tapes, this shit ain't gonna fly. It's just another TV show to compete with Brexit for ratings.

In Watergate, we had tapes, not just bullshit "testimony". And people were caught in the act, by real policemen. So far all we have are a bunch of blabbermouths. I certainly hope there is something real to hang 'em with, but the ineptitude is so overwhelming, and given history of the Party, it's not just rope-a-dope.

And this "whistleblower"? please! Goddamn cops tell us, "If you see something, SAY something!" So what's up, ya bastard? If you have solid proof, out with it, pronto! You hear about real heroes falling on the grenade, now it's your turn.

Eh, like I said in ol' boy's journal, the dems will tread lightly, or collateral damage will be severe in discovery. Actually, probably not. People just don't care how crooked they are anymore. As long as their guy wins... That rule applies equally to both sides of the imaginary line.

*sigh* All this bullshit and the republican/democrat party will still receive 95% of the vote next year, and of course the pissing and moaning will never cease.

And a shout out to the morons (no offense to morons) who want to believe I advocate not voting! Love you all!

    Is fivethirtyeight part of MSM? I've hit their site a few times now, but haven't really looked at them. They seem to stand off on a tangent from the supposed left-right axis.

    They take an aggregate of what all the "main stream" polls are saying. So, we can make the factual statement that on average the "main stream" polls had them at a statistical tie the week before the election.

      Your media polls don't gauge opinion, they set it. That is what they are paid to do. They are driving the herd, not observing it. Works very well for silencing independent voices, denied the stage because they don't have the percentages or adequate funding. Nope, gotta fill the screen with big money.

        Yes, you got me fusty, asking a bunch of people their onion about something is a liberal plot to sap and impurity your precious bodily fluids.

        Wrap it up, my fellow Deep State agents, the jig's up!

          Well, that was disappointing. But if you want to believe fairy tales, by all means..

          Oh, and "liberals"? What liberals? Can you point one out to me?

    538 is a subsidiary of ESPN, which is a subsidiary of ABC, which is a subsidiary of Disney. But here is an example of Silver's editorializing I could find off hand: https://heavy.com/news/2019/09/bernie-sanders-nate-silver-residue/ [heavy.com]
