    What a shame that some smart people have put so much time into creating and maintaining this blog, only to find that its main users are so easily controlled by a single, vicious troll.

    A Dirty Hobo appeared on the Tucker-MAGA Variety Hour last night and proclaimed his innocence, maligned the judge in his case, decried all the local citizenry impaneled to sit on his jury, and accused the prosecutors of corruption.

    A general element federal criminal trial judges are called upon to consider, when levying sentence on those convicted in their courts, is “sincere acceptance of responsibility expressed by the convicted individual”.

    It hasn’t even been 24 hours. Dirty Hobo sentencing is scheduled for October 21st.

    That’s so weird!

    Josh Hawley said the exact same thing Thursday night right after 18 million live television viewers watched him urinating in his pants.

    St. Petersburg Florida police took old, no-longer-in-use parking meters and converted them into donation stations to raise money for homeless in their city.

    Then they took all the money and spent it on themselves instead. Although they did devote a few thousand dollars to promoting their “accomplishments” assisting the homeless population to local media.

    It’s not “a few” bad apples.

    @ 7

    I’m looking for the blog post about J6 ratings, which are in substantial decline.

    It was 18M for the pretty girl. Far less on Thursday.

    More importantly, the demographics of the viewership are what counts. Liberal viewers are going to vote for the liberal candidate. Persuadable independent viewers are tuning out.

    What ultimately counts is who is watching the YouTube snippets. We’ll see.

  10. 10

    @ 8

    Then they took all the money and spent it on themselves instead.

    Actually, they took all the money, spent 15% or so on the homeless, and are currently “hoarding” the rest.

    St. Pete Police hoarded change from donation stations that say the money helps the homeless

    Hoarding is not spending. And for the record, we’re talking about less than 10 grand. Literally pocket change.

    Meanwhile, about $9,842 of donors’ change has been stockpiled by the department, as of June.

    In FY21, only $515.28 was spent on the homeless community, while the donation stations gained nearly $3,000 in revenue.

    It’s like the Clinton Foundation, McHillbilly. Except the St. Pete PD is hoarding several thousand, while the Clinton Foundation is hoarding several hundred million. But the lack of accountability is the same.

    I’m sure you’re glad you brought up such an important news item, QoS McHillbilly.

  11. 11

    It would make QoS McHillbilly very happy if the money @ 8, 10 was used to purchase methadone.

    If the money were used for that purpose and word got around, there would be no more money.

  13. 13

    @9 can you arouse 🤮 any more with your Dumbfuckery. Behind the scenes sounds like you’re wiping your tears away with a tissue.

    Like Rlijah said Stop urinating in your pants.

  14. 14

    As of 2020, The Clinton Foundation was unaccountably hoarding $235,099,164.

    The foundation’s net assets rose from $312.8 million at the beginning of 2020 to $323.4 million at the end of the year, according to the IRS filings.
    …
    The filings did show growth in the nonprofit’s endowment. The foundation’s endowment had a 2020 end-of-year balance of $235.1 million, an increase compared with the $217 million figure for that time in 2019.

    The nonprofit also dramatically increased the amount of grant money it doled out, giving $4.2 million compared with $1.8 million in 2019.

    So the Clinton Foundation gave out $4.2 million but kept an unknown amount (dunno how much was new money and how much was asset appreciation) , enabling its endowment to climb by $18 million.

    It’s noteworthy that the greater “grants” doled out by the Clinton Foundation corresponded with a quadrennial presidential election year. Always follow the money.

    Recall that the Clinton Foundation made national news when it changed its status to avoid so many IRS filings.

    It also had to amend its filings when it got caught lying:

    Clinton Foundation Amends 4 Years Taxes, Admits Speech Fees Weren’t Donations

    QoS McHillbilly would rather talk about several thousand dollars in a St. Pete PD bank account than about all of the money being grifted by the Clintons from its “foundation”.

    I think we have plenty of time to talk about both.

    The illegals flooding across the southern border are not coming here to vote illegally by mail for Republicans or other non-Democrats. They are coming here to vote for Democrats, and the Democrats know this. In fact, they’re counting on it for November and in 2024.

  16. 16

    @ 15

    They are coming here to vote for Democrats, and the Democrats know this.

    It’s not until years after they gain US citizenship that they will begin voting for Republicans. The Democrats know this, too.

    Or they will after the first Tuesday in November.

    Josh is now to the nation* what the low IQ Nazi traitor has long been to us, a fucking cowardly joke. At least Josh likely has a fucking clue that the nation* is laughing at his cowardice. But our low IQ Nazi traitor? Not so much.

    If the low IQ Nazi traitor wasn’t such a fucking coward he would have long ago confessed to wanting American democracy to end and to be replaced by a fascist totalitarian state ruled by what he perceives as a “strong man”. who would punish non-fascist Americans and would dump NATO to instead form a new alliance with Russia, China and North Korea.

    That is what the low IQ Nazi traitor fucking wants. It’s what he fucking votes for. It’s what he fucking trolls for here at HA. He just doesn’t have the fucking courage to be upfront about it.

    *Fascist traitors and the stupes who follow them don’t count as Americans anymore.

    He was hit by a fire extinguisher thrown by Merrick Garland.

    Pa. man awaiting sentencing for entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has died

    The death Wednesday of Mark R. Aungst, 47, of South Williamsport, was ruled a suicide, Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said.

    Aungst pleaded guilty June 27 in District of Columbia federal court to a charge of demonstrating or parading in a restricted building. His sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 27 before Judge Reggie B. Walton. He could have been sentenced up to six months in prison and fined $5,000.
    …
    Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Furst said the prosecution had evidence showing Aungst and Bronsburg entering the Capitol through the Senate fire door by the parliamentarian’s office approximately 2:45 p.m. and leaving 30 seconds later. Twenty minutes later they re-entered the building through the Senate wing door, and took photos and videos on their cell phones as they walked through the Capitol and into Senate Room 145.

    Neither assaulted a police officer nor stole or damaged government property, the prosecutor had said at a previous court proceeding.

    Good news for YLB’s kids that this violent monster is no longer a threat to them. Of course, neither will he be contributing to the Social Security Trust Fund from now on.

    If I thought Hawley was a player in 2024 I’d be more interested, Steve.

    Hawley’s role in 2024 will be to convince disappointed Trumpers to show up at the polls to vote for Ron DeSantis.

    The illegals flooding across the southern border are not coming here to vote illegally by mail for Republicans or other non-Democrats.

    Can’t offer even one, (1), “UNO” single example on any election anywhere in the United States no matter how small or insignificant in which votes by non-citizens changed the outcome or were even recorded in the final result.

    This is a “flood” in much the same way that rainbows are “grooming”.

    Degenerate Republican paranoia may be emotionally crippling to Cancervatives. But we must not allow it to cripple America. We have to much work to do.

    First Vegetable Joe Biden didn’t stop monkeypox because of irresponsible gay men like Cuomosexual G-clown.

    Partly agree with that statement – there are irrisponsible gay men not abstaining or at least not being more careful. And Biden Admin. could be doing more but I don’t think it is intentional as DumbFuck suggests.

    The FuckHump didn’t stop COVID because of Irrisponsible Hetero Neanderthals bigots. I do think more gay men right now should be abstaining from sexual activity (unless married or monogomous partner) – see Bob, I’m not a hypocrite like you and the rest of your ilk, I can make decisions that are best for this country, without Party First mentality or based on what is right.

    But there are differences betwee monkeypox and COVID. COVID was more spreadable and more deadly or sever of an illness. Not sure there is long monkeypox like long COVID.

    Monkeypox can be classified as an STD, like other STD’s that are afflicting both the Hetero (Neanderthal) world as well as the Homosexual community and bisexual individuals, although it can be transmitted without any acutal sex like COVID. The conservative bigots, like Bob, will frame monkeypox more as an STD to marginalize gay people.

    No longer will they talk about Freedom, like the have done with COVID.

    And atleast the gay community is more apt and presently more open to taking a vaccine (without fear of glowing in the dark). And the gay community (or atleast in NYC) has criticized the Biden Administratoin of not doing the better job it should be doing….notice I say should and not could DumbFuck.

    Unlike a conservative Neanderthal Repuk Traitor Bigot, a Democrat says things on principal and not on a partisan basis.

    I hope Bob’s horse doesn’t get it.

    If I thought Hawley was a player in 2024 I’d be more interested,

    He’s not now.

    But in truth, even before 18 million live television viewers, and about 100 million more in mobile media, watched him urinate in his pants last Thursday night, he was no more “a player” in Republican presidential politics than Steve Forbes or Herman Cain. Hugo Chavez will be a bigger presence.

    But the fact that Hawley is a nobody is precisely what makes this interesting. The committee went out of its way with Hawley. It may be very useful to know why.

    …what is Blotch‘s appeal path?

    Narrow?

    In general the broad categories that constitute the basis for a federal criminal appeal are evidentiary – the government’s evidence was not adequate to prove the case, due process – the defendant was denied certain rights the denial of which are very likely to have changed the verdict, the trial itself was in error – the federal rules of criminal procedure were not followed, or the judge made an error with respect to the law, again the result of which error is very likely to have changed the verdict.

    Pay attention to the shit in italics. That’s important.

    An appeal based on the evidence is very unlikely here. It’s quite cut-and-dried. The committee issued a subpoena. The defendant refused to respond. The jury was presented with documents and witness testimony to prove those claims and found them credible and persuasive. There wasn’t any other evidence presented. Appeals don’t second guess juries.

    The defendant was not denied any of his rights in any way. He was informed of the charges against him, his first appearance and arraignment were by the book, criminal discovery was fulfilled, he was represented by legal counsel, he was able to confront the witnesses against him. And the big thing about these grounds for appeal is that in order for an appellate panel to intervene the appellant must demonstrate to the panel, with evidence, that the trial outcome was changed by the denial of rights. It’s a very high bar and one that is seldom met. Prosecutors know this and fuck around with it all the time. It’s a key part of our system.

    That leaves trial procedural errors and judicial errors concerning the law. Errors in criminal procedure are rare in normal cases. They would be incomprehensible in a high profile case like this. DOJ and the District follow the rules very carefully. They do this all day every day anyway. Normally something has to be really fucked up for a procedural error to have arisen. And again, the appellant must show the panel that the error in procedure changed the outcome. So it can’t be something trivial. Finally there are judicial errors in applying the statute in accordance with the procedural and local rules.

    That last bit is Dirty Hobo’s only shot IMHO. And once again, the appellant bears the full burden of proving to the panel that the judicial error they claim changed the jury verdict. So mere speculation about trial rulings from the judge don’t cut it. You’ll probably see a scrum of law school profs holding forth about how “this judge made mistakes”. First, they don’t really know shit. These guys make boat motor money to go on television and present strident, aggressive, and decisive legal positions as “common sense”. Hemming and hawing with qualifying statements doesn’t make for engaging television. Second, any mistake interpreting the statute, by itself is not enough. This isn’t Paper Chase and nobody fucking cares what John Housman thinks. Where Congress writes statutes leaving issues open to human interpretation, and where binding judicial authority about the law is absent, the trial judge decides. End of story. Deal with it. If law school profs want to debate it that’s fine. But only Congress or a binding appellate decision can change it by clarifying the statute.

    This is a seldom applied statute that I don’t believe has seen any revision in over a century. It won’t surprise me at all if there’s lots of room for interpretation in the context of the modern legal world. But unless the same issue can be cited with binding authority to another case, that leaves it up to Dirty Hobo’s trial judge to decide. I think the last such case to actually go to trial was in the 1940s. It’s not a promising resource.

    If we simply look at Dirty Hobo’s predicament in the light most favorable to Dirty Hobo I don’t think it looks good at all. So let’s say he argues that because Trump’s lawyers played him, and would not definitively release him from all claims of privilege, he had to protect himself from those claims arising under a lawsuit. Weighing against that he has his own legal counsel and House counsel informing him that privilege does not apply. And also informing him that even if it did, it would have to be deliberately and specifically invoked with respect to certain questions from the committee, or certain areas of knowledge claimed to be covered by the privilege. So in other words, even if the claimed risk of being sued was real, and even if Dirty Hobo possessed personal knowledge about communications covered by some valid claim of privilege, there is still no risk for Dirty Hobo to appear and answer other questions, only invoking privilege with respect to specific question in relation to specific privileged information.

    He wasn’t acting like a powerless citizen trapped between powerful government or political forces and interests. He was acting in a deliberately defiant manner. If he had an appeal in mind from the very beginning, he would not have behaved with deliberate defiance. He would have sought to comply to the best of his ability. I think that makes it very hard for an appellate panel to conclude that this verdict would have ever turned out differently, no matter what the judge decided about the law.

    @ 29

    …although it can be transmitted without any acutal sex like COVID.

    You must mean “like HIV”.

    The conservative bigots, like Bob, will frame monkeypox more as an STD to marginalize gay people.

    Rapid spread through overwhelmingly homosexual communities will frame monkeypox primarily as a STD, and the overwhelmingly high percentage of the infection in homosexuals will marginalize gay people.

    G-clown tried to blame conservatives for what gays will very quickly do to themselves.

    Y’all ain’t seen nothing yet. First Vegetable Joe Biden’s about to have the most awful week so far:

    Tuesday: Consumer confidence numbers from The Conference Board. Don’t expect it to be better.

    Wednesday: Will the Fed boost rates by 75 basis points? By a hundred? Or will it pussy out and merely boost by 50?

    Thursday: GDP number for Q2 is out. This will be revised, twice, before finality, but it’s gonna be ugly. Bidencession-ugly, bitches.

    Friday: Inflation update with new Personal Consumption Expenditure index numbers. Y’know, if inflation is 8.1% and gas is $4.50/gallon, then gas is really only $4.16/gallon in 2021 dollars. YLB will buy that, the dumb twat. The rest of us won’t.

    @15 My research into voting fraud hasn’t turned up a single case of an illegal immigrant voting, for Democrats or otherwise. On the other hand, I’ve turned up numerous cases of Republicans voting twice, voting the ballots of deceased parents or spouses, and in one case, voting the ballot of a missing wife he’s suspected of murdering. And Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, registered to vote in 2020 at a mobile home he never spent a night in, in a state he doesn’t live in. Come back and talk to us when you’ve got some evidence of illegals voting for Democrats, little boy. We’ll be happy to refer those cases to prosecutors, so they can get the same slap-on-wrist fines and community service the Republican cheaters are getting from judges.

  44. 44

    @15 My research into voting fraud hasn’t turned up a single case of an illegal immigrant voting,

    I leave open the possibility that there may be some actual instances of an illegal immigrant, or for that matter any non-citizen casting a ballot. Because I think that our system is open to that possibility. And I think that it needs to remain that way.

    In at least a few states that allow election day registration, depending on the ID requirements, it would probably be possible for a non-citizen to present themselves with fraudulent documents and cast a provisional ballot. This is by design. Because such ballots are set aside and excluded from the canvass until the registration and ID can all be verified, there’s almost no risk of a ballot cast using fake ID.

    So I think there exists a very small chance that a non-citizen might manage to obtain and cast a ballot. It just won’t ever be counted. Even the wife murderer and Mark Meadows’ illegal ballots were not counted.

    It mostly just shows that “stolen election” stories are just that. And Republicans in general have fallen victim to a crippling wave of delusional paranoia that can’t be quantified or even comprehended.

    In truth, is somebody wanted the best opportunity to “steal” any election in the United States they would do what Trump and GOP lawmakers did in December of 2020 and January of 2021. The electoral college, and in particular the “winner-take-all” state laws create a vulnerability to precisely the type of fraud that the GOP undertook. Any successful fraud scheme doesn’t have to try to change huge numbers of votes. Instead they have to try and change much smaller numbers of votes in a few key states, which is exactly what Trump demanded:

    “According to Dershowitz, who recently jumped back into the news by complaining he is being shunned in Martha’s Vinyard because of his views among other issues, Bannon’s trial was ‘unconstitutional’ and will be overturned upon appeal … [as] he explained, ‘The only provision of the Constitution … is trial by jury in and in front of a fair jury. Number one, he didn’t have a fair jury. Number two, the judge took his defenses away from him.’ Asserting that jury pool was drawn from a community that is ’97 percent Trump haters,’ he continued that Bannon wanted to invoke ‘executive privilege’ but that the judge wouldn’t allow” etc. etc.

    Meanwhile, while Zeldin complains the suspect was released because of NY’s misguided no-bail policies, the D.A. who (unlike federal prosecutors) declined to charge him with a violent felony is Zeldin’s campaign co-chair.

    So-called “moderate” Republicans want desperately to sustain the myth that Christian Nationalism represents a marginal faction of their party with little influence. But in fact these Christian Nationalists are the only faction of the party getting things done and making any real progress in advancing an agenda. And the Christian Nationalists know it. They will never be content to retreat into the background. Not without a fight.

    In order to win key races in close elections “moderate” or “mainstream” Republicans have had to embrace, adopt, and promote the agenda of the Christian Nationalists over every other party interest. The Christian Nationalists see this and recognize the power they wield over Republican voters.

    Right now heading into the midterms and beyond the Christian Nationalists and other extreme elements of the Republican Party are feeling triumphant. They have achieved major victories through the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, they have transformed the rhetoric and positioning of the Republican Party, and unprecedented numbers of their candidates voicing their concerns and speaking directly to their issues have won important Republican primaries and will appear on the ballots in November.

    I don’t think it’s possible to say for sure just how dominant they will become. And I think there still remains a possibility that the majority of Republican lawmakers and voters will successfully reject this ideology embracing religious and racial bigotry, intolerance, and authoritarianism. But they won’t ever manage to do that without a significant confrontation within the party ranks comparable to 1964.

    In the midst of such a confrontation there exists a strong probability that candidate Trump would, just as before, move to outflank his primary opponents early and often. With only a will to dominate and defeat his opponents, and devoid of ideology beyond personal gain, I don’t think Trump will hesitate at all to wrap himself in Christian Nationalism.

    The media will denounce the rhetoric. Even the traditionally conservative media will distance itself from such campaign rhetoric, exactly as they did in 2015 and 2016. But if Trump can once again persuade a large enough segment of primary voters that his campaign is more “honest” and “less phony” than the other Republican campaigns, how the media treats him won’t matter in 2024 any more than it mattered in 2016.

    The only question is how will the rest of the Republican primary field respond? If they begin their campaign positioning with more moderate appeals, and only begin to shift more and more to the right in response to Trump, the way many did in 2016, they play right into Trump’s hands. But can they resist that? Or as an alternative do they instead begin their primary campaigning right out of the gate with a full-throated embrace of Christian Nationalism instead?

    I don’t believe Youngking style Republican candidates who stick to a more moderate image will have a chance (see JEB!). With so much of the party political rhetoric in general focused on “saving” America from “destruction” by Democrats, they will be perceived as weak by voters and portrayed as weak by their primary opponents. I think that leaves defeating Trump relying on an early embrace of the more extreme Christian Nationalist ideas and rhetoric to prevent Trump from controlling the flank.

    I’m actually quite sad to say this. I take absolutely no pleasure in it. But I do think it is more likely that in the next two years the Republican Party will become more politically extreme, not less.

    This is the story of the day. The facts are a little byzantine, so bear with me. Back in 2019, the teenage son of a Wisconsin supreme court justice took the teenage daughter of Wisconsin’s lieutenant governor to a high school homecoming.

    Later, (1) the justice voted to throw out a Trump election lawsuit, and (2) the lieutenant governor became a candidate for governor in the 2022 GOP primary.

    Still pissed at that justice, Trump endorsed the candidate’s opponent because her daughter had gone on a date with the justice’s son.

    @ 61

    AOC’s district is heavily Democratic, and no Republican on earth would be able to come within 5 points of AOC – or any other Democrat – in a general election held in that district.

    So the Newsmax silliness is unfounded when facts are considered.

    Lost on HA libbies is the similarity of polls in which oversampling of a minority demographic is used to create an impression that the Democrat candidate is performing better than reality would otherwise indicate.

    So enjoy the mirth over Dick Morris’ silly pronouncement, libbies. Just keep in mind that oversampling polls are being used to stoke campaign contributions to candidates like Fat Cow Stacey Abrams, who has no chance of beating Brian Kemp but now controls tens of millions of dollars. That’s Democrat money that could have gone to less publicity-seeking Democrat candidates locked in close races.

    60,
    This is not about Virginia voters and it’s not about general election voters either.

    It’s about how the 2024 primary contest could potentially drive the Republican party even further to the right than the 2016 primary did. Virginia general election voters don’t figure into that nationwide party primary battle. Two things that made a big difference for Youngkin were that he did not have any credible or competent primary opponent outflanking him to the right, and that his general election opponent achieved Clintonesque levels of vagueness.

    I think Trump will run. I think he will be very well funded even before the Russians pitch in. And I think he will immediately enjoy strong support from a significant number of Republican primary voters and quite a few Republican national leaders. But I also think he’s a one-trick pony. He’s very likely to follow a pattern and primary campaign strategy nearly identical to 2016. If I’m right I think that means he’ll move very far to the right of the rest of the field. But 2024 Republican primary field will not resemble Glenn Youngkin vs. Pete Snyder.

    My senile, weak president eagerly awaits his afternoon Jell-O.

    Has there ever been an official statement that makes an American President sound weaker than the White House doctor saying Biden, ‘cleaned his plate’ and held it up to show him?

    My senile president licks the Jell-O bowl when he’s done. Maybe the White House physician can regale us with that newsy tidbit, too.

    …polls in which oversampling of a minority demographic is used to create an impression…

    Fuck me, but I would be grateful to a God that does not exist if the Degenerate capering troll would some day learn what oversampling is and how it is used.

    Although I have to admire how beautifully this ignorance comports with the normal delusional paranoia.

    “Why yes! Professional public opinion researchers do deliberately falsify results in order to “disappoint” you in particular”.

    @ 70

    “Why yes! Professional public opinion researchers do deliberately falsify results …

    They don’t. Their methodology is explained, with sufficient clarity.

    The results can be interpreted more than one way. If enough black voters turn out to make the oversampling become an accurate prediction of voter participation, the Democrat candidate could win. In this respect it’s a carrot, of sorts.

    To me, that’s the most optimistic interpretation.

    A more realistic interpretation is that it’s done to mislead the low-information voters like Steve has become, so that these voters think their guy has a chance and they show up to pull the lever for all of the other Democrats on the ballot, in other races.

    I don’t mind the oversampling polls. I mind the way too many HA libbies misuse them because they’re clueless that the poll they are pushing employs oversampling.

    This is correct:

    Tour de France fans take justice into their own hands and tackle militant eco-protesters before dragging them off the road to stop them blocking the race

    Eight climate activists from French campaign group Dernière Rénovation (Last Renovation) sporting T-shirts emblazoned with the message ‘we have 978 days left’ to tackle environmental decline tried to stop the race during the 20th stage between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadouron on Saturday.

    But their attempts to wreak havoc at the stage were thwarted by spectators, who stormed onto the road and dragged them out of the path of the oncoming bikes even before the police arrived on the scene to make arrests.

    Striking pictures have emerged of the enraged fans bowling into the road to pull, push and harry the protesters off the tarmac to prevent them from ruining the race.

    More states should pass laws protecting drivers from being charged with a crime should they find the need to plowbowl through protesters who think they have a right to interfere with the public’s right to pass.

    NO ONE WANTS TO SELL CARS ANY MORE!
    I went to several local car dealerships and I offered them $5000 for a brand new car. They all told me that’s not enough money and I’d have to pay the full sticker price. They said if they sold the cars for only $5000 the dealership would go out of business. But here I am with my $5000 ready to buy one! No one wants to sell cars any more!

    “We failed”: Gay Republicans who fought for acceptance in Texas GOP see little progress
    https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/24/texas-log-cabin-republicans/

    Millionaire white gay men who think they’ll be accepted as “one of the good ones” get reality check by the party of trump.

    Maybe it’s a bit hack to point out at this point, but they are republicans. If they were intelligent and compassionate they would not be republicans.

    If enough black voters turn out to make the oversampling become an accurate prediction of voter participation… blah blah blah

    Oversampling in cases like this is to correct for potential inaccuracies that may result when a small sub-set of the surveyed sample is not statistically well represented in the sample.

    Sample size is mostly driven by budget. All other things being equal, a larger sample size will improve reliability of a survey. But quality sampling is the most expensive part. And there are diminishing returns. So public opinion researchers often rely on smaller than optimal samples to limit expense, but make scientifically valid adjustments to the sampling methodology and data to compensate. If an overall sample size is small, let’s say 100 participants, and a sub population happen to only make up 3% for example, surveying only three individual participants from that sub group can produce bad results. Over sampling is a mathematical technique as much as a sampling technique. A larger number of participants for a targeted sub group is calculated to produce a more statistically representative sample of that group. But the over sample is only used to model that group. So if 5 individuals are surveyed instead of 3, the responses of those 5 individuals are used to model the 3% that they are calculated to represent in the overall total 100%.

    Over sampling like this is a common technique for a couple of reasons. First, there can be a strong interest in knowing the opinions of sub groups within the whole. Second, some sub groups are much harder to survey than others.

    For example, old white retired homeowners are much easier to survey than young minority recent college grads who rent. And interesting corollary to all this and something that may be worth noting is that many very hard to survey sub groups who might be of unique interest and who might alter the outcome of elections are seldom over sampled. One example of this might be non-college educated white first time or infrequent voters in Blue Wall states in 2016.

    I wish to point out that over sampling is a very common technique in medical research and something a real doctor would be very, very familiar with.

    Too funny. First we have Hawley running away from a dozen cosplaying grandmothers. Now we have the low IQ Nazi traitor trying to run away from Hawley.

    The low IQ Nazi traitor needs to run faster.

    @72 “More states should pass laws protecting drivers from being charged with a crime should they find the need to plowbowl through protesters who think they have a right to interfere with the public’s right to pass.”

    You seem to think drivers are the only people entitled to use public streets. And where is this “right to pass”? At best, it may be implied from ordinances against blocking traffic. The “right” to abortion had firmer ground than that.

    @77. Republicans. “If you can protest in a way that in no way shape or form bothers me in any way and I don’t have to know you exist, you can do that, otherwise I have the ability by republican law to murder you without any legal consequences to me.”

    77)Personally, I think traffic judges should not have leeway to reduce tickets., especially on speeding. About time motorists learn the speed limit is a maximum, not a voluntary suggestion. Although the ticket could be the least of ones worries for turning on Red on MLK Jr Way.

  82. 82

    @79 Nine-tenths of the drivers out there think the speed limit is a minimum, and will lean on their horns if that’s all your doing.

  83. 83

    80)Doesn’t help in tge RV that both Rainier Ave and MLK Jr Way used to be designated as state highways. Rainier used to be part of SR167 before they built the new 167/I405 interchange. The city is working on forcing a slowdown, not only is the speed limit 25-30 on Rainier, but in some places, Rt7 is getting it’s own lane. Latest effort to boost reliability. I remember when it used to stop on every block, although a trolleybus has good acceleration. One of the few redundant stops is the MLK JR WAY intersection, but certain times in the morning and afternoon justify such a stop less than a block and a half south of the Mt Baker Transit Center.

    Noticed, besides lingering staffing issues, the Seattle Public Library is warning of branch closures this week due to the heatwave, as not all branches have air conditioning. One branch in my neighborhood is affected, can understand why, the original wing of the Columbia City branch was built in the early 1900s. Thought they would have installed AC when they put in the addition.

    When it’s 91F in Seattle, it’ll be 71F in Oak Harbor and 69F in Coupeville.

    Imagine the stench in the Dumbfuck Rabbit household this coming week. All those used rectal catheters he hasn’t gotten around to rinsing out before re-use. All those Depends he’s trying to get a third use out of before throwing out.

    Ew.

    85)Used to not need air conditioning down here. Metro was late to adopting AC, Last bus without it was retired in 2029. I remember when tgey had 30ft Phantoms on the 50, had a regular driver who would go to another route in the summer to get a bus with AC, until the XDE35s arrived.

    I’m so proud of my little troll!

    He aspired such greatness, even after having to attend a Central American medical school because those snooty US schools wouldn’t have him.

    But now a parent can hold their head high because he has such an influence on small blog. Sniff! A parent can only be so proud.

    …having to attend a Central American medical school because those snooty US schools wouldn’t have him.

    Not true. I was accepted and started at a US school. I got my degree in Grenada because there’s no such thing as academic probation there.

    Ever notice that nobody at the Mayo Clinic has a tan?

    Son, this is why you ended up in Grenada and why everyone that is not you, can’t stand you.

    I didn’t say you didn’t get into a US school, I said, “wouldn’t have him.” Which means you fucked around and found out that the US schools have their academic standards, you got in, but you couldn’t hack it.

    Run along and play nice, the “friends” you have here on this blog are your only “friends” now.

    Me oh my, the wrong son survived.
