What is a little bit strange is that Joe Biden is sitting at a 37% approval rating 7 months in on a poll that is widely known to run 3 to 4% skewed to the left and yet he supposedly got 81 million votes. That rating would put him dangerously close to within spitting distance of the worst approval rating ever given a President.....25%

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted from 10-20 thru 10-21 versus the Grinell Seltzer poll of 10-13-10-17 and with a larger sample size, has Biden's approval rating at 46 approve and 48 disapprove. 
I think we'll see variations like this from time to time with improvement likely if the Democrats can finally get their act together and pass the build back better legislation they've been promising.

From today's, "The Hill":
"Biden’s poll ratings, which had suffered a sharp decline, appear to be stabilizing. The Economist poll has his approval rating just three points underwater — his best result in that weekly poll since mid-September — while a Reuters/Ipsos survey also found the American public about evenly split on his performance."

Thank God he is out there, still taking it to the totalitarians in our gov't.

Rand Paul:  

“I would say be afraid. Be afraid of your government,” he responded. “That’s a sad thing from someone in the government to say, but the thing is, is those lists already exist.”

He's God Damned right!  

Lol!
Some of the same schmucks who did Trump's bidding on the election which makes them the furthest thing from believing in the constitution. Rand Paul's a nutcase and anybody with half a brain knows it...

Here's Rand Paul's Trumpster-dumpster election claim:

Fits right into the conspiracy world of wingnuts, doesn't it?...

There was no description of what constituted a 'threat' or "threat of violence"

The overreach here by the Federal Gov't is outrageous. The FBI has ZERO jurisdiction in a local school board meeting and to even consider using the FBI to scare ordinary Americans is something that we would see in Communist China or other Totalitarian States.  

That you have no problem with it is no surprise whatsoever.  

We've read Richie's BS outrage based upon his regular readings in MAGA media which all evidently originated from a post online from "MAGA Girl".  Here are the facts:

I remember the powerful Dianne Feinstein saying she would take them all if she could. Now she said that when she did not know it would be all over the news. But I should not be concerned? Surely other Dems would not dream of restricting my gun rights?

What a mixed-up crock pot from something or other that Mel thinks he heard or read somewhere, with various thoughts convoluting into one another. But it's another Melvin post, so that's to be expected. Melvin would be in the minority of those who think there shouldn't be stricter gun laws, but likely in the majority of Republicans who think this: " a majority of Republicans who don’t own a gun (57%) say they favor creating a federal government database to track all gun sales, while 30% of Republican gun owners say the same. There are similar-sized gaps among Republicans who own guns and those who do not on banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines." In other words, Mel isn't in the 30% bracket, ie the majority that have and love their guns even more than they love their own kids.
Additionally, "Majorities in both partisan coalitions favor two policies that would restrict gun access: preventing those with mental illnesses from purchasing guns (85% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats support this) and subjecting private gun sales and gun show sales to background checks (70% of Republicans, 92% of Democrats). Majorities in both parties also oppose allowing people to carry concealed firearms without a permit." It's likely that Mel supports the constitutional carry so that virtually anybody can carry them if they're 21 or older and can't vote against it when they're a teenager.

These people are just too stupid for words to describe.  

Wrong, dumb----:

Your own chart there proves I was correct when I stated that more people in the USA were killed by knives than by Rifles. 

According to the chart, 1739 killed by knives, while 455 were killed by rifles.

The AR-15 is a rifle

P.S.  1739 is almost 4X the number 455.  

You are a pretty obtuse idiot, we're obviously talking talking firearms here and not a particular rifle...

Post number 20, another shocking comeback from Mel...

I know you WISH we were talking about firearms in general but you are the one that claimed Rich was wrong with his claim about rifles vs knives. 

Firearms kill far more people than knives and that's a fact. Don't belittle that fact with your nonsense of a it's a rifle and not a gun HS...
