At Thursday's debate, Trump MUST ANSWER whether he intends to restrict or ban abortion pills

He was asked about this in an interview w/Time Magazine on April 12

Trump refused to answer but promised to release a statement within 14 days

It has been 75 days

Trump still has not answered

Trump's campaign says he doesn't need to state his position on regulating abortion pills because the issue has been resolved by the Supreme Court

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE

"Kennedy has received at least 15% in only three accepted polls to date and has qualified for the ballot in six states, making it impossible for him to win the presidency, said CNN"

Trump will find a way to back out of the debate. He can't speak coherently and his handlers have to keep that under wraps. So far #Media Inc is compliant with that, because it wants a close election for better ratings.

If you haven't seen it in a while / how #News #Media Inc tilted the table for Trump and against HRC in 2016.

We called them out for years about it on Twitter. They are still normalizing and promoting Trump, but it's not as extreme as what the press was doing on his behalf in 2016.

The NYT poll claiming Trump is leading, is heavily tilted to rural voters. Salon busted them in March and I found the dataset for this one / same. - RG

NYT breaks norm to run a Trump article that is not favorable to him.

Apparently @nytimes thinks it can offset it's pro-Trump garbage (like when it implied that a demonstration in Tapachula MX, 1915 miles from El Paso was a "surge" at the border), with occasional reality about his myriad corruptions.

Unacceptable, #News #Media Inc.

And here is how #News #Media Inc weighted the scale for a close election in 2016. A zilch HRC email story that it made into Watergate.

Balkingpoints , 3 months ago to random

Thumb on scale for a close election (aka, help Trump):

"How did NYT come up with a polling sample that included 36 percent rural voters when the 2020 proportion of rural voters was 19 percent? The poll’s sample of female voters was equally skewed. The poll found Trump winning the female vote by one percent, when Biden carried women in 2020 by 11 points."

From presidential polls to refusing to report on Trump’s stumbles, things aren’t adding up at NYT

One recent media account told how this trial was the "least" of Trump's criminal charges and could "set the stage" for Trump to claim he is being persecuted in each of his (four) trials.

Just remember when you see Trump-favorable nonsense like that, #Media Inc is bending reality as far as it can right now to portray a close election. It is their goal each cycle (ratings), but this time will be much harder to keep a thumb on the scale for Trump than it was in 2016. Worst nom ever.

Meadows was in a mobile home in NC when he got a call from his attorney -

What? Quit Trump and tell the truth?

Yes, a mobile home. I have to live here to vote here.

No I only vote in 3 states, not 4.

I'll have to call you back. There's a really loud argument next door...

@CNN : Some of Trump's sheep would have bought this when it debuted last week.

As it loses 95% of opening value in the next few weeks, will you put a reporter on the story of who got conned? Household money lost on it?

Doubt that.

NYT reporter:

Chuck Todd just attacked his own network, NBC News, over hiring Ronna McDaniel. "Our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation," he told Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. "There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this."

For example: couple months back NYT ran this below. "Surge", no less...

Tapachula, Mexico is where this pic was taken, which NYT admits in the fine print. A demonstration against poverty. It is 1900 miles away from El Paso.

NYT deliberately implied these people were massing at the US border. Absolutely false.

"surveys of the first three head-to-head Republican contests, 2 in 10 Iowa voters, one-third of New Hampshire voters, and one-quarter of South Carolina voters would be so disappointed by Trump’s renomination that they would refuse to vote for him in the fall."

From 2 days ago. Hard story to find, maybe Media Inc will start paying attention. Fairly consistent with Griffin's numbers and a hemorrhage for any party.

Most would sit out = 1/2 vote for Biden.

"You are farther behind politically than you think you are".

The reading here as well. Media Inc wants a close election for higher ratings. And is not beneath smoke & mirrors to make it appear close.

Trump needs a recession and is running out of time for that to happen. It might, but the last quarter was robust. Fed outlook is robust for 2024. Wage earners are doing much better than Trump's $7.25.

Wonder if @TheAtlantic knows that Trump stole highest-level intel including weapons systems and likely, materials involving NATO nations.

Think that might be a more important story than Trump kicking the soccer ball and you running after it? Can you produce from archives - one - time in which you interviewed NATO leaders about intel which Trump - still - has not returned after he stole it?

Figure that might be a major story?
