A new poll released by Marist has demonstrated that President Biden's momentum is growing in the polls. The new poll, which observed 1,047 registered voters across America found that in a head-to-head with Donald Trump, President Biden leads by a 3% margin, at 51% versus Trump's 48%.

Significantly, when the poll brings in the likely third-parties, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Biden's lead grows to 5%, with him earning 43% of the vote, Trump earning 38% of the vote, and Kennedy earning just 14% of the vote.

It bends in the sense that the educational profession attract liberals more than it does conservatives, and the more elite schools attract more students who are liberal.

Ummmm, how is collapse differ from his everyday demeanor? Has he just been a little short on burying the needle on the assholeometer?

Just something to keep an eye on as the trial progresses.

Narcissistic Collapse
Narcissistic collapse is an emotional response experienced by people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) when their sense of self-importance is threatened or they face a situation that results in public humiliation and failure. People with NPD rely heavily on admiration and approval from others to maintain their self-esteem. When this admiration or approval is lacking, or they are criticized, it can shatter their fragile self-image and lead to a narcissistic collapse.

One sign of narcissistic collapse is lashing out in anger or rage, often with inappropriate and uncontrollable outbursts. In fact, it's one of the hallmark signs of this phenomenon.

It can manifest as:

Screaming and yelling
Profane language
Personal attacks and insults
Threatening behavior
Throwing objects or property damage...
Public meltdowns

Some other signs are:

Shame and humiliation: They may feel intense shame and humiliation when their grandiose sense of self is challenged.

Depression and withdrawal: They may become withdrawn and isolate themselves from others. They may also experience symptoms of depression, such as sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed.

'True colors'? Broad brush sweeping generalizations are more like it.

ARE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS MORE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE?
April 18, 2024
https://www.ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-blog/ivy-league/ivy-league-political-leanings/

Colloquial knowledge would have one believe that the eight Ivy League schools span the political spectrum. Dartmouth, with its preponderance of Greek life, and Princeton, with its old-guard eating clubs, supposedly fall on the right hand side of the political divide, followed by the staunchly pre-professional Cornell and Penn sitting slightly to the left while still remaining bastions of conservatism.

Harvard sits in the center, attempting to please everyone by declining to condescend to either side. Yale and Columbia represent a slightly more liberal and activist element of that same Harvard brand of centrism, and Brown supposedly sits proudly and squarely on the left, with its open curriculum and counter-cultural legacy. But are these stereotypes true?

Of course, no Ivy has an official political affiliation, and admissions officers from all schools pride themselves on creating diverse cohorts of students, with political ideology serving as an important metric of this diversity.

The Ivy League Schools Ranked: From Most Conservative to Most Liberal

All that being said, if Ivy Coach were to rank the eight Ivy League institutions from most conservative to most liberal, we would do so as follows:

Princeton University
Dartmouth College
Cornell University
University of Pennsylvania
Harvard University
Yale University
Columbia University
Brown University

Ivy League Political Affiliations: Faculty and Students
How Ivy League Faculty Votes

The truth, it would appear, is as complicated as the stereotypes are reductive. Whether the political leanings of a university are the product of the faculty and staff’s beliefs, or the students’, is up for debate. An infamous 2023 survey of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences by The Harvard Crimson found that 77% of Harvard faculty identified as “liberal” or “very liberal,” followed by 20% as “moderate,” and fewer than 3% as “conservative” or “very conservative.” A similar survey conducted by The Yale Daily News found that nearly 100% of political donations from Yale faculty went to Democrats in 2023.

Certain news outlets have taken such data, which consistently finds that Ivy League faculty are left-leaning, and ran with the conclusion that Ivy League schools fail to foster learning environments where a diversity of viewpoints can be expressed. But data shows a greater disparity of opinions when faculty are questioned about specific issues, like academic freedom, climate change, and sexual harassment on campus. For example, 52% of tenure-track faculty at Harvard “strongly agree” that “academic freedom in America is under threat,” but only 27% of non-tenure track faculty agree, and The Crimson notes that there wasn’t a consensus as to whether this threat comes from the right or the left.

How Ivy League Student Bodies Vote

Some student-run newspapers at Ivy League schools survey the incoming or graduating classes to gauge their political ideology. The Dartmouth found in 2023 that 58% of Dartmouth undergraduates identify as Democrats, and 12% identify as Republicans. The Daily Princetonian’s Class of 2027 First-Year survey found that 69% of first-year students identify as “somewhat” or “very” left leaning, but for certain left-wing issues, like trans sports participation and police abolition, fewer than half were in favor. The Brown Daily Herald also surveyed their Class of 2027, and found that the percentage of students identifying as “somewhat” or “very” liberal came to 71.6%, a mere 2.6 points higher than Princeton, which supposedly lies on the other side of the political spectrum.

Why the Politics of the Ivy League Remains Difficult to Parse

Newspaper survey data is not a silver bullet when it comes to gauging the values of such a varied group of people across so many institutions. For one thing, there is no comparative analysis across Ivy League schools. Additionally, as the data we’ve shared indicates, while people at elite institutions may unite behind left-leaning labels, further scrutiny reveals a greater diversity of opinions than one might think.

At Ivy Coach, we can say with certainty that the narrative that Ivy League schools discriminate against students with conservative viewpoints is untrue. In fact, we’ve found that the opposite is true: between applicants with the same application, a student who expresses conservative viewpoints on their application is more likely to be admitted. Admissions committees seek to build an incoming class with a diversity of opinions, and when most applicants (and therefore students) in the Ivy League have left-leaning views, dissenting politics stand out.

But what about the stereotypes? Surely Brown is for hippy Democrats and Dartmouth is for straight-laced Republicans, right? We reply, does low socioeconomic diversity, a preference for legacy applicants, and a deep-seated relationship with corporate America reflect right wing affiliation? If so, all of the Ivies would fall into that category. The same could be said about left wing affiliation if one were to focus on a different set of characteristics.

Campus culture and political leanings are two separate things. For prospective applicants seeking to gauge the political culture of any of the campuses they are interested in, the surveys are a good place to start, but the testimony of current students is the best data on the market. Politics are subjective, and what makes campus home to some might make it hostile to others.

I kid. I know that Gore didn't invent it but the right claims that he said he did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_technology

Congressional work and Gore Bill

Prior to the late 1970s, data communication was primarily on time sharing services, such as those of General Electric. Gore had been involved with computers since the late 1970s, first as a Congressman (1977–1985) and later as senator and vice president. A 1998 article described him as a "genuine nerd, with a geek reputation running back to his day as a futurist 'Atari Democrat' in the House. Before computers were comprehensible ... Gore struggled to explain artificial intelligence and fiber-optic networks to sleepy colleagues."[1] According to Campbell-Kelly and Aspray (Computer: A History of the Information Machine), up until the early 1990s public usage of the Internet was limited and the "problem of giving ordinary Americans network access had excited Senator Al Gore since the late 1970s."[2]

Of Gore's involvement in the then-developing Internet while in Congress, Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn have also noted:

As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high-speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship ... the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1983. When the Internet was still in the early stages of its deployment, Congressman Gore provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication. As an example, he sponsored hearings on how advanced technologies might be put to use in areas like coordinating the response of government agencies to natural disasters and other crises.[3]

On June 24, 1986, Gore introduced S-2594, Supercomputer Network Study Act of 1986.[4]

As a senator, Gore began to craft the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 (commonly referred to as "The Gore Bill"[5]) after hearing the 1988 report Toward a National Research Network[6] submitted to Congress by a group chaired by University of California, Los Angeles professor of computer science, Leonard Kleinrock, one of the central creators of the ARPANET (the ARPANET, first deployed by Kleinrock and others in 1969, is the predecessor of the Internet).[7]

Indeed, Kleinrock would later credit both Gore and the Gore Bill as a critical moment in Internet history:

A second development occurred around this time, namely, then-Senator Al Gore, a strong and knowledgeable proponent of the Internet, promoted legislation that resulted in President George H.W Bush signing the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991. This Act allocated $600 million for high performance computing and for the creation of the National Research and Education Network [13–14]. The NREN brought together industry, academia and government in a joint effort to accelerate the development and deployment of gigabit/sec networking.[8]

And where is you substantiation that there is something?

Relentless projection from one too dense to see that you are describing the Trumpanzees who post here to a T.

You reek of BDS. And, seriously, you have the nerve to challenge the sources of posters who PROVIDE sources and you expect us to accept what you clearly pull out of your asses?

OR, worse, from 💩 sources like zerof'inghedge or the Gateway Pundit, neither of which can stand up to the scrutiny of fact checks because they pull their stories out of THEIR asses.

Few of you can write above an 8th grade level, I'm being generous. So why should we expect anything resembling critical thinking skills from your ilk. You deserve the abuse you elicit, in spades.

That's right. The GOP lost it's shit in the 90's, predicted economic ruin if Clinton hiked taxes.

He did and we got a budget surplus and job growth out the wazoo. Good thing Gore invented the Intertoobz too.

Let's Play.....let's spin the Trumpanzee Conspiracy Theory Whose Fault Is It Wheel. All their favorites are there!😏

Read for comprehension much, 💩 for 🧠s?

BUT, we're the ones who need to be prayed for until the 'fog of lies' is lifted 'so we can see the truth'. No taughts to go with those prayers?

And they never APPLY thought to refute anything we post.

The ONLY thing that they're proficient at is projecting their own obtuseness, willful ignorance and laughable credulousness on the rest of us.

How in TF do you infer that, you ignorant f'k. It was a simple statement of facts and is offensive only to ass-kissing, treasonous, Putin lovers. Got a poster of Moscow Margie in your trailer home?

What exactly is inaccurate in my post? I'm NOT the belief-centric, credulous to a fault, conspiracy theory mongering nitwit here.

Trump did it to himself and you would not question the same charges against a Dem. Period.

60 days of haranguing his moronic, treasonous supporters, with 'stop the steal, and then inciting them to march to the Capitol and 'fight like hell' was no Dem 'set up'. Everything Trump has been accused of is a result of HIS stepping on rakes.

Mr. 'I am your retribution' is in fact the disastrous candidate, felon in the making, that he appears to be.

Commie Party IS full of liars. So why the holdup on arms money for Ukraine by the GOP House?

GOP is the Party of Moscow Margie and dozens of other Putin loving ass kissers, that's why.

You left out the 1/6 and GA 'imperfect phone call' cases. The DOJ, prosecutors at any level, do not like to lose cases.

The DOJ in particular has a 97% win rate through convictions and plea deals.

Most people are not happy with how long it took to bring the cases when they should instead be reassured; the cases are not slap dashed hasty efforts but rather the usual work from the bottom up with witnesses and evidence compilation. AND they've 'got the receipts'; tapes, phone call, cell phone records AND the testimony of Republican witnesses, which you nutters conveniently overlook.

Lastly, there not a single Trumpanzee posting here who would balk if these case were brought against a Dem who did EXACTLY what Trump has been accused of. After all, we're talking about 'lock her up', 'hang Mike Pence', lynch mob mentality, damn the facts and evidence, ass-hats.

Clinton was acquitted in the same fashion as Trump was, twice. That's what failing to attain 2/3 of the vote in the Senate needed for 'guilty' looks like

Most Dems were not fine with Clinton's behavior. Take a look at how many GOP impeachment leaders resigned for sexual infidelity. Count on the GOP for hypocrisy.

Try and keep up. The following, together with the freedom of choice driven vote and Trump legal problems, will destroy the GOP, up and down the ticket, this Fall. Voting for the orange 'Dictator for a day' and 'I am your retribution' fascist ass-clown has not a f'ing thing to do with 'saving our democracy'.

RFK Jr. takes more from Trump than Biden in 2024, polling shows

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s independent presidential candidacy could hurt former President Trump more than President Biden at the ballot box, according to a new NBC News poll of the race.

Trump holds a 2-point lead over Biden in the head-to-head poll released Sunday, though with third party candidates added Biden takes a lead over the former president.

In a five-way race between Trump, Biden, Kennedy, independent Cornel West and Green Party Jill Stein, Biden takes the 2-point lead. In the poll he has about 39 percent support to Trump’s 37 percent, while Kennedy takes about 13 percent of the vote.

Of the Biden supporters in a head-to-head matchup, about seven percent switched to Kennedy. For Trump supporters, that proportion shot up to 15 percent.

Republicans also hold a more favorable view of Kennedy than Democrats, according to the poll. About 40 percent of GOP voters liked Kennedy compared to just 16 percent of Democrats. A majority of Democrats, 53 percent, have a negative opinion of the candidate.

The Biden campaign has doubled down on Kennedy messaging in recent weeks, releasing ads bragging about endorsements from nearly the entire Kennedy family. The presidential candidate, son of the former attorney general and nephew of the former president, does not have any endorsements from his politically-influential family.

You can't refute the facts I posted about the merits and intent of the Chips and Science Bill; the shovels have been turned for new Chip manufacturing facilities across at least 4 States.

'Globalist controlled media' is a conspiracy theory phrase that precludes thinking.

More Trump supporters DID die from Covid both before and after the vaxxes were introduced. You could Google that assertion and see numerous entries that confirm the accuracy of that statement.

And the abortion issue HAS backfired electorally on the GOP and will only get worse. That is also a verifiably accurate statement.

You nutters like to claim 'all lies' too readily, too often. And you're too f'ing lazy, ill equipped, to check out the lame ass assertions you post unthinkingly.

The Chips and Science Bill is meant to bring chip manufacturing back home. Taiwan Semiconductor is building a plant here in case Trump wins and refuses to defend Taiwan against China and the Bills passed yesterday include a shitload of money for Taiwan.

I love the Covid shots because Trumpanzees refuse them and insure that there are fewer of them to vote. This year's version, the anti-anti-abortion vote.

The state election results on that issue portend a real ass kicking for the GOP this Fall. You mfrs just can't stop yourselves from stepping on rakes.

The parallels fall apart. Here, today, the poorly educated prostrate themselves before an unprincipled, fascistic, election denying, insurrection inciting, proponent of retribution who openly speaks of the 'poisoning of American blood'.

What evidence is there of the practice of racism in the name of diversity? Is the author presuming that there are not people of equal or greater qualifications among job candidates who will bring more diversity to an organization?

'.........academically educated Germans were unusually ready to prostrate themselves before a charismatic leader, in the belief that only such a leader could preserve the purity of the German nationalist project.

Today’s progressives engage in racism in the name of diversity. The nationalist academics of interwar Germany were at least overt about their desire for homogeneity and exclusion.'

Seems to me these reasons are applicable equally to business, academia and the military.

8 Reasons Why Diversity And Inclusion Are Essential To Business Success

https://www.forbes.com/sites/biancamillercole/2020/09/15/8-reasons-why-diversity-and-inclusion-are-essential-to-business-success/?sh=3531deab1824

1. Greater innovation and creativity

Having a working environment filled with employees of different backgrounds, skills, experiences and knowledge means that there will be an increase in innovative and creative ideas. This can have a huge impact on the business as this will help the business expand in the long run. Employees will feel more comfortable to share their ideas with others with unique ideas being shared amongst a diverse environment. This helps a business stand out from those businesses that still function with only 'one voice'.

2. Diversity provides a range of skills

It is important to hire people from all backgrounds as everyone has different skills that they can provide and help to enhance a business. By having an inclusive and diverse environment, this allows more wider perspectives to be integrated when brainstorming, problem solving and developing new ideas in business.

7. More talent to choose from

If the business encourages diversity and inclusion, then when it comes to finding new talent there is more to choose from. It will not be about recruiting a certain type of person that looks a particular way but rather focusing on the skills a person can bring and contribute to the business. This will help with the growth of the business as only the best talent will be hired.

If not a single illegal immigrant makes it across the border and the nativist, isolationist, 'know the cost of everything, the value of nothing' GOP prevails while Russia overruns Ukraine and turns to Poland or the Baltics, and China takes Taiwan by force, what then?

Never mind thinking twice, that's what thinking just once looks like. It includes considering consequences and responses.

Platitude soup. As I read 'the principles of liberty, justice, and patriotism', I realized that her husband practiced none of them.

Straw man arguments.

Done with China's takeover from within strategy to wage war on America. If you are a denier of CCP as our enemy then you must still love your covid shot(s).

I'm not worried and I AM free. A decent education goes a long way.

I've often wondered though, when the pilot light start to go out and those dying neurons fire off those near death experiences....light at the end of a tunnel is my favorite......do believers, especially clergy, have a final flash of recognition? Oh shit, there's NOTHING!

I stand by this, your post reinforces it.

Dem policies support Ukraine; see yesterday when only gutless, Putin ass-kissing, commie appeasers voted against it.

Dem policies are for repairing and rebuilding American infrastructure and for bringing back & increasing chip manufacturing capacity in this country. Chips & SCIENCE; Trumpanzees don't know 💩 about the latter and think about food when they hear the former.

How is April different from any other Confederate month in MS? I figured it was a 24/7/12 month rebel yell down there.

Hey Lame Time, it's clear from your posts that a board where literate well informed people gather is *anathema to you.
*Kryptonite or garlic to one with your education/reading level.

Post an opinion of yours on something other than the board and let us see how well you can defend it.

Except in court......

You were as quiet as a 🐭 pissing on cotton when Trump ran up the debt with his $2T tax cut and if he is reelected and extends that tax cut you'll be on Amazon ordering more cotton.

America First in today's world entails supporting allies on the front lines with our adversaries for deterrence sake.

Nobody is happier with the America First Russian appeasement caucus in the House than Putin, however he's disappointed tonight and so is China.

No, asshole, it's called accurate reporting and the Trump campaign response was non-existent because they knew that Biden knew about Orange F'ks intentions.

💩heads like you believe what you NEED to believe because the truth is too painful for your fragile psyches.

It'll be fun to watch both Trump and you this week; freezing 🥶 Donny and melting down 😎 Mopejo.

You ignorant piece of 💩, this program existed. And, again, the flub wasn't played up because people somewhat less stupid than you could check the following out.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/516258-biden-campaign-forming-special-litigation-team-ahead-of-possible-voting/

Biden campaign officials framed the operation as the largest election protection program in presidential campaign history, saying it is needed as concerns over voting and Trump’s unfounded claims of fraud continue to spread ahead of the election.

The special litigation team will include lawyers from Democratic law firm Perkins Coie who will look into the state-by-state battles over casting ballots and voting rules. Marc Elias, the chair of Perkins Coie’s Political Law Group, will lead this portion of the unit, according to the Times.

The former vice president is referring to the special litigation team his campaign has launched as it braces for potential legal fights over the outcome of the election (his campaign for months has been ramping up what it calls the largest voter protection program in presidential election history, after Trump repeatedly has suggested without evidence that the election could be “rigged”.

And as you read the orange f'k you worship was test driving his 'stop the steal' 🐴💩.

dozy demento is a no-show
