Polls: Society & Politics

This is a hypothetical and yeah i know it sounds really dumb but lol please just answer this truthfully.

So you are at home and you hear a noise outside. you look out and notice some person is attempting to break (like they break a window or cause some destruction to your property) into your home but the cops make it there quickly and arrest that person. When they take this individual into custody they give the following statement "I was just trying to have a peaceful chat. i wasn't gonna hurt them!" Would you believe them?

No you do not know them, they are a complete stranger to you. what do you say?

Roughly 1 in 5 voters said they find it credible that the shooting was staged and not intended to kill Trump, including 33% of Biden’s supporters and 12% of those who back Trump. The majority of voters (62%) said the unsubstantiated notion is not credible. Notably, 38% of voters said Trump himself was to blame for the violent moment.

Over half of voters, including 53% of Biden supporters and 52% of Trump’s supporters, said they were “very concerned” about election-related violence this year, while roughly 2 in 5 said they were “somewhat concerned,” with little divide based on candidate support.

I personally think it's terrible. We just accept everyone from 3rd world countries then check it out later and then they stay here as an illegal in a city or state that won't deport them.

It makes no sense, other than the USA's moral high horse. In actual asylum cases like China or Russia (our named adversaries) those nations could easily argue it incentives unlawful doings and the USA admitting such people is a breach of their sovereignty.

What do we gain as a country by taking asylum seekers in droves from failed states like Haiti, Honduras, Colombia etc?

There's exceptions to things like North Korea but they can go to SK who has a bigger birth issue than we do. I just don't understand why this system is necessary or good in any capacity.

What new nation would you like to see in Europe?

Judge delays Trump sentencing in hush money case until after November election - www.nbcnews.com/.../judge-delays-trump-sentencing-hush-money-case-november-rcna167282

The Russians directed their U. S. employees to emphasize the following “campaign topics”: “Encroaching universal poverty. Record inflation. Halting of economic growth. Unaffordable prices for food and essential goods”; “Risk of job loss for white Americans”; “Privileges for people of color, perverts, and disabled”; “Constant lies of the [Democratic] administration about the real situation in the country”; “Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants”; “Overspending on foreign policy and at the interests of white US citizens”; “Constant lies to the voters by [Democrats] in power.”

The target audience of the campaign was “[Republican] voters,” [Trump] supporters, “Supporters of traditional family values,” and “White Americans, representing the lower-middle and middle class.” The focus was in particular on “[r]esidents of "swing states whose voting results impact the outcomes of the elections more than other states.

This information came out Wednesday when the Departments of Justice, State, and the Treasury announced sanctions against 10 individuals and 2 entities, and criminal charges against two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, who allegedly funded a company in the U. S. to hire right-wing social media influencers to push Russian propaganda before the 2024 election.

The company the Russians funded appears to be Tenet Media, a company registered by Liam Donovan and Lauren Tam, who is associated with The Blaze and Turning Point USA, as well as RT. The two appear to be married. The indictment alleges that the company’s two founders knew they were working for the Russians, but suggests the six commentators—Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson, all staunch Trump supporters—did not know where their massive paychecks originated. After the story broke, five of the commentators denied any knowledge of the source of the company’s funding.

well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down, you know, and I was, somebody, we had uh Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. it’s a very important issue. but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care, it’s couldn’t, you know, there’s something, you have to have it — in this country you have to have it. but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to — but they’ll get used to it very quickly — and it’s not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care. we’re gonna have — I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about. we’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in. we’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. let’s help other people, but we’re going to take care of our country first. this is about America first. it’s about make America great again, we have to do it because right now we’re a failing nation, so we’ll take care of it. thank you.

Who looks like a stronger leader

If you had to pick one of these, which is the most accurate description of the USA right now?

I understand holding a parent responsible if a small child does something stupid with their gun but once you are old enough to know right from wrong and you still decide to do devilish ish you should bear your own damn guilt alone.
