in the third anniversary of January 6th
7:06
I went to Valley Forge and I said the
7:09
most urgent question of our time is
7:12
whether democracy is still is still the
7:15
sacred cause of
7:17
America that is the question the
7:20
American people must answer this year
7:23
and you the prefess play a critical role
7:25
in making sure the American people have
7:27
the information they need to make an
7:28
informed
7:30
decision a defeated former president has
7:32
made no secret of his attack on our
7:34
democracy he said he wants to be a
7:36
dictator on day one and so much more he
7:40
tells supporters he is their revenge and
7:43
retribution when in God's name you ever
7:45
heard of another president say something
7:47
like that and he promised a bloodbath
7:50
when he loses again we have to take this
7:54
seriously eight years ago you could have
7:57
written off it was just Trump talk but
7:59
no longer not after January
8:02
6th I'm sincerely not asking of you to
8:05

8:07
to the seriousness of the
8:09
moment move past the horse race numbers
8:13
and the gotcha moments and the
8:15
distractions the sides shows that have
8:18
come to dominate sensiz our
8:20
sensationalize our
8:21
politics and focus on what's actually at
8:23
stake and I think in your hearts you
8:25
know it it was at stake the stakes
8:27
couldn't be
8:28
higher every single one of us has rol to
8:31
play a serious role to play making sure
8:34
democracy endures American democracy I
8:37
more my role but all due respect so do
8:39
you in the age of
8:42
disinformation credible information the
8:45
people can trust is more important than
8:46
ever and that makes you and I mean this
8:49
from the bottom of my heart makes you
8:50
more important than ever so tonight I'd
8:53

TRUMP 2024
Re: The Worst Approval Rating Of Any POTUS In American History Posted on: 2024-04-28 13:12:50By: Anonymous
And That With The News Media Protecting Him By Censoring And Out Right Lies.
Two of the federal government’s methods of measuring crime tell two different stories, complicating recent claims from the media and President Joe Biden that crime is declining.
Numerous media outlets have, in recent months, run headlines suggesting that crime is declining across the country. The statistics they’re citing, however, don’t tell th Kime entire story.
A close-up of a signDescription automatically generated
The federal government has two ways of measuring crime, the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. The former asks around 240,000 Americans if they’ve been the victim of a crime in the last year whereas the latter relies on crimes reported to police in a given year and shared with the bureau.
A gap has emerged between the two measures. More people are telling the Bureau of Justice Statistics that they’ve been victimized, but the FBI is reporting fewer crimes.
The UCR reported that violent crime fell by 2% between 2021 and 2022, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. By contrast, the NCVS found that the number of people saying they were the victims of violent crimes increased by 42.4% between 2021 and 2022, rising from 16.5 victimizations per 1000 people to 23.5 victimizations per 1000.
Despite these disparities, several media outlets published stories claiming that crime was declining in the United States. Mainstream outlets like NPR, Reuters, CBS News, The Hill, NBC News and PBS all presented FBI data to report that crime is decreasing, without mentioning the conflicting data produced by the NCVS.
NBC went as far as to say that “the drop in crime does not appear to be well understood by large majorities of Americans.” A December Gallup Poll found that 77% of Americans believe crime is getting worse.
Biden has capitalized on reports that crime is decreasing, claiming that his policies contributed to making communities safer by investing in public safety. “This week, the FBI released data showing that crime declined across nearly every category in 2023,” Biden said. “Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, which every Republican in Congress voted against, we made the largest-ever federal investment in fighting and preventing crime at any time in our history,” the president continued.
Some mainstream publications, however, did note that the FBI data should be approached with a degree of skepticism. The Guardian, for instance, noted in its reporting on the FBI data that “not all crime reports are collected” by the UCR and that “the FBI’s findings should be viewed with caution given the incomplete information.”
Among the reasons that the disparities might be so wide between the UCR and NCVS is that crimes that occurred, but were not reported, would not appear in the FBI’s UCR so, if the reporting rate falls, the gap between actual crime and what the FBI reports will grow.
Additionally, 31% of police departments didn’t report data to the FBI in 2022, according to The Marshall Project. The FBI’s transition to a new reporting system, that required more work from local law enforcement agencies, contributed to the relatively low response rates, according to the Washington Examiner.
In 2019, prior to the new reporting system, 89% of departments representing 97% of the population sent data to the FBI, the Examiner reported. In 2021, when the system was mandated, about 63% of agencies, covering 65% of the population, reported data.
Even among the jurisdictions that are reporting data, the FBI is undercounting crimes, according to the Examiner. Nashville’s 2023 municipal data, for instance, reports almost 1,000 more aggravated assaults than appear in the FBI’s dataset, the Examiner reported. Similarly, Baltimore reported 262 murders in 2023, but the FBI only logged 225 in the city.
NPR, Reuters, The Hill, NBC News and PBS did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment. CBS News could not be reached for comment, because they were caught again protecting the worst, lowest approval rating of any president in American History.
BYE Bye Biden and the Hoe
HELLO MAGA MAKING AMERICA GREAT AND STOPPING THE DEMOCRATS WISHES OF KILLING ISRAEL AND ALL JEWISH PEOPLE
You are right!! "destroyed America"!!! And guess who has us on the precipice and would like nothing more than to take us right over the edge, landing on the bottom, destroying Democracy in the process. Thats right Donald J Trump, the man who cares about one or two things if he wins the election. #1 Himself!! #2 Exacting revenge. The rest of the time will be spent fellating Putin, takin it up his fat orange ass from Kim Jong Un, and re-reading Mein Kampf, getting some ideas in the process.
I hope that slime ball dies, and dies soon. Phuck him and any Trumpster around.
Re: AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BIDEN SET'S AMERICAN RECORD AS THE LOWEST IN HISTORY Posted on: 2024-04-28 13:32:37By: Anonymous
President Joe Biden has hit a new low. Biden averaged a 38.7% job approval during the first quarter of 2024, according to Gallup. Biden’s election year first quarter approval rating average is the lowest in history.
This is not a good sign for the embattled 81-year-old president, considering former presidents who lost reelection all held approval ratings higher than Biden’s at this stage of their presidencies.
Americans’ dissatisfaction with Biden’s performance as commander-in-chief is reflected in both swing state polling and national polling. A new Morning Consult/Bloomberg poll shows Trump leading Biden in six of the seven key swing states likely to decide the election. They specifically soured on Biden due to their pessimistic view of the economy. Bloomberg revealed that 96% of swing state voters said the economy was either very important or somewhat important. 51% of respondents said they believe the overall economy will get worse before the end of the year. And 78% said they feel the president is either very or somewhat responsible for the performance of the economy.

I can't stand Trump. That doesn't mean I'm happy that his supporters lose hard earned money.
Investing in Trump is a no win proposition. He's a failed businessman and a 3 time presidential election loser. 5 times filed for bankruptcy.
How much more proof do you need that he's a loser.

Every American who works has lost hard earned money under your hero, the Dementia Patient who's entire family has taken money from Communist China, and the Drug Addict Alcoholic son also took home Millions from Russia. Want to explain any of those too? Or are you in denial? It's not only our of the sons computer but from his own lips. And what about that 3.5 carat diamond ring that hunter said he gave it to Joe's brother? His lying brother said " I threw it away" Really? An $80,000 diamond ring just threw it away, but you had to borrow a few $100,000 from Joe so you say, and he throws away a diamond worth $80,000? Gee, doesn't sound like they lied at all, does it? I mean that would mean Joe BiDumb is a liar and did receive money like it says about " The Big Guy" in Hunters laptop and from hunters business partners.

Not my hero.
I wish there were other choices, but the best candidate won the 2020 election.
Trump is a trainwreck. He has no respect for anyone other than dictators.

You are a train wreck if you are trying to be serious!!! This president of ours is not even here mentally!!! Even if he were, look at the cabinet choices he (or somebody) made, they are a train wreck too. At least President Trump had people in charge that knew what the hell they were doing. We felt save regarding the economy and the military!!! What we have now are OJT morons!!!
