This post proves my point, you don’t understand statistics. Look up a normal distribution curve and apply that idea (polls are not exactly normal distribution but the idea holds) to the polls that on average put Trump approval around 45%. With the confidence interval and distribution there is a FAR greater than 0% chance that 50% approve of Trump. 

 

Again, you are wrong on the math. 

Dude, you’re a fucking moron. I’m not saying it’s closer to 0%. I’ve literally never said that. You’re so desperate to slob on trumps knob you can’t read simple sentences. 

Just get over it, 50% of the US doesn’t support trump. You’ll be okay!

You keep proving my point, you don’t understand statistics at all. No one has said that you said 0% of the US support Trump. You said there is 0% chance that 50% support Trump. The statistics involved around polls along with the current approval polls directly proves you wrong. 

If you believe otherwise then I suggest a course in applied statistics that includes confidence intervals, varying distribution curves/probabilities, etc. 

Just because you used the word fuck doesn’t make you right. You are wrong you just have no clue how since you obviously do not understand how polls and statistics work. 

My only contribution to this stats argument is my stats professor decided to have a quiz during green beer day (Miami Alum are familiar with GBD). We could drop two quizzes during the semester. I came in pretty drunk anyway to take the quiz and got an A. I don’t get enough credit for pulling off this achievement.  I also forgot most of what I learned in that class. 

Late to the game, but how the fuck did Black Panther get nominated for best picture?  If Dark Knight wasn't worthy of a best picture nomination, Black Panther sure as hell isn't.

For starters, you're racist for even questioning...

Probably.  

I saw the movie.  I was entertained, but I don't think it even cracks the top 5 for marvel/dc movies.

because if it wasnt someone would yell racism.....so they thought screw it, nominate them.

Surprised they didn't nominate girl Ghostbusters. 

Huge wind storm here today. Two trees down and part of another. Thankfully no horses where near them (they were out in the open scampering around loving it). Also thankfully no trees close to my house fell!

Loss of power for about 2 hours, too. Fuck setting all the damn clocks!

Wind gusts up to 50mph.  Makes running outside hard.

Just landed in Chicago, made for brutal turbulence landing. Had the puke bag ready just in case, I don’t do well when the plane is rocking back and forth.

Was it a smaller plane?  That shit sucks.  A couple years ago I was on a flight where the pilot tried to land three times and had to abort all 3 times.  Finally made it the 4th time.  I tried to act calm, but my palms sweated thru my wife's jeans. I normally don't get nervous on flights, but that flight I was questioning if it was my last day on earth.

No it was a big United plane. Pilots actually did pretty well all things considered. Just a shitty 10 min of rocking back and forth. 

Your story reminded me of a small plane I took to the upper peninsula Michigan from Chicago. It was a fucking ice storm and our 12 person passenger flight still took off. Never been more afraid in my life. Plane was so small we could hear the pilots the whole time and even they were sounding very nervous. Bout shat myself. 

Damn......with this wind I would shit my pants on a plane

Everything today.

Today is a shit show of a news day. Between the summit in Vietnam, Cohen, and oh the mess that is India-Pakistan, I think I want to stay offline today. 

I was up until 3:30am finishing reports, and I was back to work less than seven hours later.

I like what I do, but I could stand to do a little less of it some days.

I went to a great burger joint in Birmingham for lunch today.  I am outraged that if I eat a cheeseburger and onion rings for lunch, I automatically feel like crap all afternoon,  That's just not right.  

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The NYPD is warning police officers about a possible threat from the MS-13 gang, particularly when they are off-duty.

CBS2’s Dick Brennan reports that in a bulletin the NYPD put out this alert: “Members of MS-13 are looking to ‘hit’ NYPD police officers, specifically in the Brentwood/Central Islip area as well as possibly Patchogue.”

The border should be shut down immediately, until walls are built and we control the flow of the illegals, period.

If we can shut down the border, why do we need walls?

Even disregarding the border, I have a problem that cities can just disregard federal law in regards to sanctuary cities, which let criminals back out onto the street before ICE can deport them. Yet when the government tried to stop funding these cities some activist judge stopped it. 

Our country is so fucked up that you go rot in jail on dumbass drug charges but you see repeat violent offenders walking free and then end up killing someone.

I agree with that. Some of the sentencing is fucked up.

So I take it you'd be cancelling all international flights as well?

You do realize that MS-13 is an American gang right?

It was started in the US...by illegals from El Salvadore. Most of it's members to this day are illegals from El Salvadore and Central America.

So, while technically it was started in LA, calling it an "American gang" is purposefully misleading since the majority of the members are not US Citizens.
