This just creeps me out...

Subject: Minnesotans Don’t Think Franken Should Resign; Franken Remains Popular, Especially With Women
A new Public Policy Polling survey of Minnesota voters finds that a majority don’t think Al Franken should resign from the US Senate, and that he remains popular in the state, particularly with women. Key findings from the survey include: -50% of voters think he should not resign, to only 42% who think he should go through with his planned resignation. There is little appetite from Democratic voters at the state level for Franken to go, with 71% opposing his departure. A majority of independents- 52%- as well think he should not resign, with just 41% favoring his exit.
So according to a PPP poll, Al Franken's job approval is actually down to a 48-48 split among men after all of the allegations surfaced, but apparently women still approve of Franken by a 57-37 margin.

I cannot imagine a creepier guy, doing creepier stuff than some of what Al Franken pulled. Yet, overwhelmingly, the women here in Minnesota would prefer that he stay on as Senator and by and large believe he is doing a good job.

i've started to treat polls like i treat "racist" incidents on college campuses or elsewhere in the public sphere - it's a hoax unless proven otherwise.

i know you minnesootans definitely march to your own drummer, but on occasion it's just too outrageous to be believed.

Not as creepy as some of the stuff that Donald Trump pulled--and bragged about.

Amusing James that you whine about being defamed and you turn around and slander Trump without any proof.

Or to put another way there is far more proof against you in your own words you have against Trump.

You can't hold two contradictory beliefs on the same issue.

The President sexually assaulted allegedly 29 women.

Your Senator was a comedian for decades. Show business is a different world.

Yet you didn't have much to say about the President.

Hypocrisy again. Talk the talk next time

C.H. Truth said...

Roger -

I guess it's the pictures... along with the fact that Minnesota Women don't seem to care about it. Minnesota women don't hold a favorable view of Trump. Why should they hold a favorable view of Franken?

James said...

Slander Donald "I just walk up and grab them" Trump
who later said I never did that,
and later even tried to say I never said that.

Slander him? He slanders himself.

Let's have an investigation into this complete with lie detector tests for all involved, including Trump, ha ha ha.

Trump says approval stacks up to Obama's despite Russia probe
The Hill
4 hrs ago

President Trump boasted on Friday that his approval rating is largely on par with that of former President Barack Obama at the same point in his tenure in the White House.

"While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47% ... and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

The tweet appears to be reference a recent poll conducted by the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports, which pegged Trump's approval at 46 percent. The Real Clear Politics average puts his approval at 39.3 percent.

Trump Made 25 False Claims In Latest Interview
December 29, 2017
Toronto Star: “President Trump sat down Thursday for a rare interview with a media outlet other than Fox News, holding an impromptu 30-minute session with New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla.”

“He made nearly one false claim per minute — 25 false claims in all.”

One Nation, Divided Under Trump

David Ignatius: “The shrinking space for governance worries me at year-end. The problem begins at the top: President Trump is the most unpopular president in modern times. He’s less admired than his predecessor, Barack Obama. He misreads the nation: The more divisive Trump has become — the more he picks at the nation’s scabs — the less the public likes him, according to polls. Yet Trump persists, playing to his base, with harmful consequences for the country.

“Trump is a defiant nationalist, and perhaps he hopes to be a unifier. But as this year ends, the numbers tell us that he has brought a level of division and disarray that should worry even his most passionate supporters.”

David Wasserman said...

Why Republicans May Face a Turnout Problem In 2018

David Wasserman: “Trump’s upset was powered by white voters without college degrees. The problem for Republicans? Voters without college degrees have a dismal track record of voting in off-year elections. This is similar to the problem Obama had: His base of young and non-white voters also had a terrible history of showing up in off years. That didn’t change after he took office, and it cost Democrats dearly in 2010 and 2014.

“Simply put, 2018 is on track to be the “Year of the Angry White College Graduate.” I’d estimate the college-educated share of the electorate will be around 43 or 44 percent next year, up from 39 percent in 2016. That’s dreadful news for Republicans: These voters have indicated the highest intensity of opposition to Trump in polls, and we’ve already seen them power Democrats to victory in Virginia and Alabama.”

A Storm Is Gathering

Joe Scarborough: “A storm is gathering, and there is every reason to believe that 2018 will be the most consequential political year of our lives

“The reckoning upon us follows a year mercifully drawing to a close this weekend. Over that horrid year, President Trump has questioned the legitimacy of federal judges, used Stalinist barbs to attack the free press and cast contempt on the rule of law, while his campaign manager, his national security adviser and a foreign policy aide have been marched into federal courts. Those anti-democratic instincts were made all the more ominous by his praising of autocrats across the world as they were ruthlessly consolidating power in countries such as Russia, China and the Philippines.”

And this group from KY is predicting huge decrease in coal before 2020.....yep, coal is deader than your brain goat fucker...


http://kftc.org/campaigns/appalachian-transition/coal-production-and-employment-trends
But the full story of coal’s impact on our economy is more complicated and troubling.
Many eastern Kentucky counties with the highest percentage of mining jobs and historically high levels of coal production are among the state’s worst in terms of poverty and unemployment.
The public health costs of pollution from coal operations in Appalachia amount to a staggering $75 billion a year in increased health care costs, injury and deaths, according to a 2011 peer reviewed study.
Kentucky tax payers spent $115 million more in just one year to subsidize and regulate the mining industry than the state received in tax revenue generated by the coal industry, according to an analysis produced by the Mountain Association for Community Economic Development.

Peak Coal: the reality of a finite and declining resource
Coal production has been declining and mining jobs disappearing for a while now. Coal is a finite resource, and the region’s most accessible and profitable seams are now largely mined out. As the remaining coal in eastern Kentucky becomes more expensive to mine, coal companies are competing against cheaper fuels, including western coal, natural gas, energy efficiency, and some renewable sources.

According the the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Annual Energy Outlook, Central Appalachian coal production is projected to drop sharply between 2012 and 2020. Using figures provided by the U.S. EIA, a recent report by MACED calculated that coal production in eastern Kentucky is expected to fall by 70% in the eight years between 2012 and 2020. That’s in line with the rate of actual decline in recent years.
The 2009 National Coal Resource Assessment produced by the U.S. Geological Survey echoes that prediction, stating that “annual coal production from the Appalachian Basin will enter a period of irreversible decline during the next several decades.”
