Sorry, Dad, I meant his claim that polls showed him winning the debate. I didn't really pick up on polls saying that.

The term "whistle blower" only protects Fed employees from reprisals/punshiment for coming forward. I don't believe that there are any protections in a private business for "whistle blowers".At least thats my understanding.

There actually are some protections for private whistleblowers but navigating those laws is not particularly easy…

I see I read it one way you read it the other way it could be read.
Lol that shows how each person can see things from different perspectives.
I read it a because of the debate he was ahead in the polls.

I did not sign up to read the article, so I do not know how it was conducted. Did the poll compare the numbers over the days or was it an average of the days? Was there a shift from the pre-debate dates and post debate?
This is from the first page.

By Rasmussen Reports

1* If the 2024 election were between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, who would you vote for?

The below article discusses "whistleblower" status and limits of associated protections, if any. Of note, it says the WB may remain anonymous. So it sounds like the difference between a "whistleblower" and a "unnamed source" have little difference in practical terms. IMO, a WB without a name = unnamed sources; each is a suspicious source.

A whistleblower is anyone who has and reports insider knowledge of illegal activities occurring in an organization. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation under various programs and laws.

Really? Sounds not well thought out to me. To be a whistleblower on a major corporation or organization one must risk everything they have including their family? WOW! That seems harsh and completely counterproductive to the goals…

Saw where a poll takin after debate of undecided voters said 60% had decided to vote Trump with 10% still undecided.

And for some reason ABC released the closing statement of Trump on tic toc, and within hours got 17 million views and still climbing. That video contained Trump saying Kamala has had 3.5 years to do what she says she is going to do but hasn’t. Why don’t you go back the DC and do what you say?

I would like to see that question hammered from a slightly different angle.

The direct answer is "we need the house and senate" then hammer the Republicans for their comedy act of running the house.

The real answer is what agenda has a vice president ever accomplished? None. Can someone tell me an example of a vice president doing so?

Which brings me to my question. How is what you want to do any different than Biden or is it just more of the same?

Tie her in every way possible to the Biden Agenda. Do it by showcasing her record amount of tie breaking votes in the Senate.

I know my cousins claim that Kamala "didn't do anything the past 3.5 years" because the vice president has no powers. Well, she was appointed as border tzar.... I assume she plans on continuing her success in that role.

 

[cbhausen]

If it wasn't for this event I wouldn't of watch the debate. It did make for a fun time before and during the debate with some good laughs..
Now a days it is rare I go downtown Indy so it was a bit surprising to see so many strung out addicts pass out over many of the areas of downtown. You have $750,000 condos and out on the sidewalks, side streets, and alleys around these condos are all the homeless drug addicts passed out or walking around like zombies.. It shouldn't of been a surprise to me in the end.. Sad sad situation downtown now.. View attachment 379589

I was there too. The Wheeler mission folks definitely messed up the area of the debate.

She said she was the last one in the room with bidet directly prior to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

She is also the President of the senate and has cast 33 tie breaking votes. She is the 2nd most powerful person in the free world. VP have lots of power if they are engaged she can’t figure out what to do. I don’t think she is very smart.

Ok to clarify to avoid future issues. I would react very negatively if I found out I ate people meat. I, ZurokSlayer7X9, am not a cannibal.

That's not what your vampire ant girlfriend says.

 

[STEEL CORE]

I am an “old Forrester” and would have liked to have watched it with the Indy kid, but he’s well armed and if his TV isn’t safe, well ?!?

Anyway I did watch it and with the split screen view, you could see Donald steaming, and “Giggles” giggling.

Lord help us all!

While I was cutting my lawn I was thinking about what she said and I became so proud of my lawn

"That was a mess Trump allowed because of his money ties with defense contractors"

Doesn't need to be. Actually, perfect for her role.
