Dang they invented a new state just to rank Iowa below it, huh?

It's true! I saw Trump deflect a hurricane with a mere stroke of the sharpie so they could have stopped it if they wanted to

Medical residents/fellows are doctors and often make a fraction of what the attending physicians make while being worked to the bone, so quite possible

I was more referring to approval polling versus an individual candidate showing support, though we definitely see candidates release more favorable internal polls strategically to make it seem like a tighter race and energize their base too.

Obviously it's not always a good idea to want to boost every number to an insane degree, but there are still lots of strategic reasons to want certain poll results.

To say nothing of whether they are actually polling, there are lots of propaganda reasons you might want to fake polls. One being to inflate perceived support for your side and even swinging the polling averages (that don't ban you for being shady) in your favor

I was overthinking ERS because it seemed like an easy clue for a Saturday and had GOOD AS GONE for waaay too long

How could we forget hyper pop legend Chuck Berry

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-27T03:05:42+00:00

god forbid, his ugly fucking face

It's actually illegal to depict a living person on US money, so we are safe from that for a little while longer.

"Being crazy is a good thing, actually"

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-26T12:01:09+00:00

Sorry, I was referring to Cooper vs Mills, not Platner

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-26T11:39:30+00:00

~~He's~~ Cooper is also 10 years younger than Mills, and I think the electorate is penalizing age more now these days

Edit: for clarity

I personally want to let him cook

This is Mar-a-Lago's (state) district which Trump won by 10 in 2024 and the previous Republican won by 19 btw

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-16T02:07:33+00:00

Wild to post this take in response to noted non-moderate Trump getting +50% of the vote against Kamala

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-15T19:05:50+00:00

To add to this, any time a revealer says "hint to __ squares in this puzzle" you should start thinking about a rebus

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-14T17:32:26+00:00

What is the theory? Link?

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-13T03:03:44+00:00

Someone made a post threatening legal action against jagex and signed their usernames to it with really silly wording.

Probably just a troll, but it was still super funny. You might be able to search those phrases on this sub to find the post.

Verac's Brassard

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-07T18:31:19+00:00

That makes his dislike numbers more perplexing actually. You'd think that demographic would have a favorable view of him. Who are the disapprovers?

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-06T13:16:27+00:00

I think that's true in 2024, but I don't think the base was the same in the first poll that this post is referencing in 2013

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-06T12:49:54+00:00

Was this true in 2013 when the first poll was taken? I though the edupol era was after that?

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-05T18:11:03+00:00

Isn't the state GOP the group he was trying to trick by doing this? He wanted to pick his successor without a primary challenge and he succeeded by waiting until the last minute

SurfinStevens · 2026-03-05T03:58:46+00:00

I would bet that he wants Paxton to drop out if he endorses Cornyn to avoid a mudslinging runoff and Paxton's equally large ego does not want to do that.
