What did Trump give Nikki Haley for her endorsement? Did she get a cabinet position like Secretary of State?

Today I read one report that RFKJr has 17% of the vote nationally.

Then I saw this from Cook. So you'll forgive me if, despite knowing how meaningless polls are, I get nervous:

@GottaLaff
Has any 3rd party candidate ever gotten close to 17% of the vote?

I have faith that most of these "RFK voters" are just expressing frustration w the two leading candidates and will switch when actually voting.

Progressives need to remember what the Stein vote cost Clinton and what the Nader vote cost Gore.

💯

In a democracy, voters have the power --- and the responsibility -- to get informed and make the best choice.

There is no blaming the candidate for failing to inform the voters. That's particularly absurd in today's corp-owned media disinfo bubblespace.

Be an adult. Go get the facts from the sources and test them. Make a thoughtful decision.

Americans believe the economy is bad and blame Biden because of THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

TCatInReality,
@TCatInReality@mastodon.social avatar

@StillIRise1963
Yes!

The media has trained us that the "truth" lies somewhere between the Left and Right positions, not in the data.

The Right understands that well and pushes out lies and gaslights to keep the "truth" unknowable.

The #Biden administration is canceling $7.7 billion in student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs.

With the latest action, the admin says it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans.

Trump fakes polls, pays rally attendees and provably lies most of the time. Why did the MSM let that all slide during the 2016 campaign?

I’m so glad public libraries already exist. Could you I magine trying to sell the idea of libraries to politicians in 2024?

allies are inching closer to sending troops into to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the and Europe more directly into the war.

So far the United States has said no, but Gen. Charles Q. Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Thursday that a NATO deployment of trainers appeared inevitable. “We’ll get there eventually, over time,” he said.

Where is the moral center of someone like Cohen who within a few days:

  • has his anniversary/daughter's bday trip to UK ruined
  • tries to trick Daniels/Davidson on a contract they don't intend to pay
  • fronts $130k he has to hide from his wife

...all to protect a lying, cheating boss and his effort to dupe the public into electing him?
