Trump 'orders Coast Guard Admiral' to publicly defend his false Alabama hurricane claims

Fake Polling saw a huge lead for HRC from August to late October. You obviously fell for the scam.

OTOH, the LAT/USC daily tracker got it right from start to finish.

 

Oh just stop. Men who are in love with their cars name them, and almost always, it's a female name. Is it because they are in love with their "erratic," car?

 

A few words about NOAA. The head of NOAA is not a scientific job, it's a political role. When asked by the president, NOAA is obligated to comply, and facts be damned.

Hurricane Sandy was not reported as a hurricane until months later. Obama didn't want to create panic 10-days before an election, so he told NOAA to keep it quiet. My husband, who is a hurricane expert, was furious. I still remember him yelling at his computer... "Why are you saying it's not a hurricane!" He finally contacted one of his buddies at NOAA, and that is when he found out it was Obama. I knew Sandy was a hurricane and told my friends who lived near where it was heading. They were more prepared than others.

We are in the same situation re: Alabama. The president told NOAA to back him up, so they did. They report up to him, so they have to. The hurricane community was absolutely furious that this happened. There is not one single scientist who ever believed, even for a second, that Alabama was in any danger. My husband was on Twitter for hours, commiserating with his buddies & NOAHH, TWC and other meteorologists.

We need to get NOAA out of the administration's domain. They need to report the science, no matter where it leads. Hurricane predicting is difficult work. **** that presidents pull on this stuff can (and does,) mess with people's lives. It's disgusting.

Quit defending Trump. Quit defending Obama. Both of them behaved shamefully with NOAA.

 

Hurricanes were given women's names because of their shape which is obviously very feminine.

 

I'm not sure who you've dated, but hurricanes don't resemble a woman, in any way. To me, they look a lot like hurricanes!

 

Well I suppose you have to be able to see around the curves

 

Well, if you are referring to the hole, then I'd just say that I didn't know you were a 13-year old boy. Other than that, absolutely no resemblance to a woman's shape. (Do you think doughnuts look like a woman? Tires? CDs?)

 

I noted the curves. You focus on holes.
Does that mean you are a 13 year old boy?

 

Can you sharpie in the shape of a woman over a picture of a hurricane? I have no idea what you are seeing. It's a circle. Women look like circles?

 

You seem to be very weather challenged. Perhaps this will help.

 

Well, you could have clarified that you meant women who wear flowing dresses and set it down on the floor and shape it to resemble a hurricane! That would have made the whole conversation much quicker. I concede that the skirts in the picture slightly resemble a hurricane. A woman's ACTUAL shape, though? Yeah, not so much.

 

Your view of women seems to be rather narrow.

"But first we must ask: what is a woman? ‘Tota mulier in utero’, says one, ‘woman is a womb’. But in speaking of certain women, connoisseurs declare that they are not women, although they are equipped with a uterus like the rest. All agree in recognising the fact that females exist in the human species; today as always they make up about one half of humanity. And yet we are told that femininity is in danger; we are exhorted to be women, remain women, become women. It would appear, then, that every female human being is not necessarily a woman; to be so considered she must share in that mysterious and threatened reality known as femininity. Is this attribute something secreted by the ovaries? Or is it a Platonic essence, a product of the philosophic imagination? Is a rustling petticoat enough to bring it down to earth? Although some women try zealously to incarnate this essence, it is hardly patentable. It is frequently described in vague and dazzling terms that seem to have been borrowed from the vocabulary of the seers, and indeed in the times of St Thomas it was considered an essence as certainly defined as the somniferous virtue of the poppy"

Yawn. This conversation is boring. I'm arguing with someone who thinks women look like hurricanes. *laughing at myself*

Oh, look, a picture of a woman!!!

 

it's called "HOGWASH."
Ever hear of it?

 

Politics = "HOGWASH"? Yes, I have heard of that.

Good point.

 

I see. So you are a Courtney Love fan?

 

Nah when you start the fake polls and fake media nonsense we know you have an ax to grind and are outside the rhelm of reality.

 

LOL! Of course I have an ax to grind, but Fake News and Fake Polls are a fact of life because the MSM and the pollsters all have an ax to grind. Surely you know that by now. Especially since an embarrassed MSM has finally confessed.

Kind of funny that the actual article says noting that even relates to the headline. Guess you didn't actually read the article.

 

LOL!

"It's a bleak moment for polling and, in particular, the media's increasing reliance on it (often for faux news stories) and the decreasing use of reporters to actually spend gobs of time with voters on their terms. There will be many symposia on this topic in the year ahead, and for good reason, though it's early to wax all-knowing about what happened even as one try to figure it out. (The Atlantic)

Many have reached a precarious stage with mediocre response rates, respondents lying, some underfunded, at times questionable methodologies, too many robo calls — and media outlets that believe all you need do is find a calculator and average a bunch of polls to bring a patina of utilitarian coherence to an inherent mishmash."

Nice try but nothing you posted supports the claim that the press is blaming itself for Trump's election. In fact, and this is pretty hilarious, nowhere in your quotes is the world election used nor are the election results discussed.

 

LOL! Read again.

Can you see it now?

 

You are having comprehension issues. What I said was the headline didn’t reflect what the article says and all you can do to counter is post the title of the article. Your job is to find anything in the article that supports the press blaming itself for Trump’s win.

Do you comprehend your challenge?

 

You said the article did not include the word "election". That word was in the title. How did you manage to miss that? Wanna see it again?

The article was all about "elections" and polling error.

 

Proove it if you are calling Fake!
