HES IN THE RELEASED FILES GOD DAMNIT
Pages and pages of them, and photos and photos too.
fuck
Yeah but you can’t trust anything he says that’s just trump
A stunning new poll shows a whopping 71 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump knew about former pal and currently deceased Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes against underage girls — and a wide plurality say he was “involved in” those crimes.
So that's 71% that said he broke the law and contributed in some way to the abuse whether by direct action or by not reporting what he knew.
That's actually really high. It would be tough to get 71% of Americans to agree on what day of the week it is.
Edit: Looks like it's a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I'm not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.
I regularly do YouGov serveys and I also believe he's guilty
LOL.
So basically Democrat voters.
Alternative title: "More than half of Americans are idiots"
Only 49%?
George Carlin - "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that..."
Only 49%? I guess they only asked half the class?
The others might be so deep in their echo chamber that the survey question was the first they ever heard of any Trump involvement
35%: “I don’t care. I’d still vote for him again.”
Anyone else see the headline and think, "Nah, he was 100% involved, where'd they get this halfsies shit?"
It took me a second, ngl.
Not a great number to see.
New poll: 49% believe in facts
Have them listen to Sascha Riley's interview and repoll them, it will be 100%. Epstein was the middle man, it was Trump's crimes.
Yup it's more like Epstein is all over the Trump files...
That reads like party lines.
Also "currently deceased" is a hell of a way to describe someone.
LOL, it's only at 49%?
And only 71% think he knew? I wonder if that 29% is the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resigning Floor.
I don't exactly understand the final reference, but I wonder if it's the same as "30% of Germans still thought they were the good guys after WW2"
I got the Sarah Palin Floor concept from The Professional Left podcast. It's what they call the part of the conservative base that will support Republicans and conservatives no matter what. I think they used this term when Donvict's approval ratings went to 37%.
That number is pretty close to the same polling that Nixon had on the day he resigned - 27%.
27% is the crazy factor and a rather stable data point. Obama-Keyes is an example.
Based on trump math, the pedophile rapist piece of shit is 400% in those files.
So 51% say he wasn’t even involved
Trump scored the highest, with 49 percent saying he was involved versus 28 percent who said he wasn’t — a 21-point spread.
I'm guessing 30% are a bunch of NPCs who've never formulated a critical thought in their lives.
Yes, they're the perennial "undecideds" who determine the outcomes of elections & our futures based on nothing more than how tightly their panties are bunched on election day. If it's a good day for them, them maybe their favorite "influencer" at that moment tells them how to vote.
But we are often told how much we should honor and respect the undecideds because they are not partisan and they are so very principled, etc.
🤮
28% said he wasn't.
Are you not gonna include the 22% who somehow didn’t affirmatively say he wasn’t involved?
I'm gonna read the article:
Trump scored the highest, with 49 percent saying he was involved versus 28 percent who said he wasn’t — a 21-point spread.
The remaining option was "not sure" which isn't a definitive statement of involvement either way. That captures people that haven't been paying attention and those who are trying to reconcile contrary information to their echo chambers, but it's not people who said he wasn't involved.
Oh I don’t give undecideds that kinda benefit of the doubt lmao
That doesn't change the reality of the survey and the opinions and understandings of your fellow man.
51% still in denial
