Good thing that such shenanigans only happen in Brazil, eh?
But you can be sure that if anything like that were ever to happen in our own fair land with a presidential administration of our own, our diligent watchdogs on Capitol Hill would be cranking up the impeachment proceedings right away! Serious you guys!

Mercer Playground has been turned into an open-air flophouse by homeless people who camp out on the benches, litter the place with their junk and relieve themselves there, according to locals familiar with the spot.
Even worse, neither the NYPD nor the Parks Department is doing anything to clean it up, they said.

So Delta, which once proudly owned one of the U.S. airline industry's better IT shops, decided to downsize, outsource, and offshore those jobs to make a buck. And brought in dirt cheap H-1B "coolie coders" to replace American citizens working on Delta's systems.
Now it has epically bit Delta in the ass because the replacement IT people turn out to have been incompetent rubes. A river, crying one, some assembly required.

out from November. BUT . . . that said, there are a number of fairly
honest polls that show Mr. Trump trailing."
Trump went on the prompter at the convention and delivered a rock solid speech off of it. Clear direct attacks on his opponent with no meandering or distraction or ambiguity. He got one of the best convention bounces in history out of it.
Then Trump went off the prompter and back to his normal vague blustery stream-of-semiconsciousness speaking style. Started attacking obvious bait instead of attacking his opponent. And within about ten days had not only lost his entire convention bounce, but was further behind than before the convention.
Might turn out to have been the most pivotal ten days in the ruin of the Republic.

Well, if polls are not to be trusted, as many seem to say, then it stands to reason that one should be wary of all of them, no?
In any case, first, throw out all the outliers that are ridiculous. Then look at the polling company and their past performance.
Again, we're not quite at mid-August so I don't pay too much attention to the polls. As the election draws near, then the polls will start to become more and more accurate. Around mid-September.

Mao Suit Evilpants? It appears she's blowing up the airwaves in ads,
and he is practically non-existant."
What I predicted earlier this year was that Trump was going to neglect fundraising for paid media until quite late, and then when behind in the polls was suddenly going to realize that he needed paid media, and that he would then go raise the money, only to then find that all of the best slots for paid media have been snorked up in advance by the Clintonworld campaign machine.
So far that is completely on track.
Trump is trying to run against the Grandmonster the way that he ran against Jeb Bush, figuring that big ad spending didn't save Jeb. But while there are some similarities and sympathies between those two, Clinton is a hell of a lot bigger, meaner, better connected, and more lavishly funded than Please Clap could ever hope to be.

Obama only took Pennsylvania by around 200, 000 votes last time. In the face of massive turnout by blacks.
Think Hillary Clinton will generate that level of enthusiasm? Not gonna happen. The methodology I looked at recently, which showed HC up by four, would have had Obama winning the state by more than one million.
There's some gaslighting going on, and some unforced errors. It's far from over.

He's got it backwards.
The Nevada solar story is actually not about a solar boondoggle or government subsidies. The way I read it the program allowed homeowners to sell excess energy (produced by panels they installed at their own expense) back to the energy company. That is no longer being offered. The homeowners are being asked to subsidize the energy company. It's a tax!!
Man I hate liars.

Then there was the Lemon v. Bongino matchup where Lemon was made to look like the fool that he is.
I've often thought it would be highly entertaining to have "their best" put up against "our best" in some kind of modern day, made-for-TV political match-up like Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King (used for illustrative purposes only). All things being equal and fair (yeah, right), it would be hilarious. Of course it would never happen for obvious reasons, but still...one can dream.

One is kids will be kids and most American kids have at one time or another smoked pot or drank underage so Id like to give them a little space to be kids.
Two is the reality that the left have savaged Republican children for lesser infractions and I can't abide the double standard.
So we are left with two options savage the Obama kid or go soft and if the left tries it again smash their fucking faces in.

I have three ampersands someone gave me, lovingly saved to a file. Every so often I open it up and look at them affectionately.
I'm resigned to the fact that I will never have ampersands of my own, despite the Morons' best efforts to teach me, so I take a vicarious pleasure in the ones Donna throws around with such gay abandon.

There's no disconnect. As we all know the majority of polls are intended to shape opinion and not reflect it. That said, pollsters need to be accurate in order to stay in business. And their accuracy improves dramatically as Election Day nears.
You have to look at as many as you can to try and get as accurate a picture as possible, starting mid to late September. Real Clear Politics usually lists most of the major polls. Silver's old 538 as well, although you have to be wary of him. But he's been accurate in the past, despite being way off about Trump in the primary.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 11, 2016 08:46 AM (9P3OG)
Ghost of Kari, are you about? Bad news from Scott Adams. Hillary has adopted Trump's campaign technique and is fighting him ably in the persuasion zone. What's our next indicator? We disdain polls (which I now studiously avoid) and head-counts at rallies. The only glimmer of cheer in my Despairy Thursday is the prospect of a peasants' revolt against President Hillary.

The media is doing its usual bullshit and people are panicking.
Anybody that would vote for Hillary or withhold a vote for Trump or even vote for some third party non entity is an asshole, period, full stop, end of discussion.
Hillary Clinton in the White House is an extinction level event all things need to be viewed through that prism.
A Clinton loss ends the Clinton Crime Cartel and likely rids these odious pukes from the polical scene and should be sufficient reason and motivaton to defeat her.

It's good to remember that Assange is Australian.

If I'm Assange -- who is, I hasten to point out, an anti-American dickhead -- I don't want to get on Hillary's bad side.

Bravo, you acknowledge reality. Yes you are the fringe and even most Republicans can't stand you. Trump is your last hurrah, after his loss you will be permanently ostracized and consigned to the past.

We are, in fact, a minority. We've been overwhelmed demographically. It's a center-left nation now and conservatism is going to be a regional phenomenon now, at least politically. Conservatives are now going to have to operate on a cultural level and hope that the upcoming 30-50 years of welfare-state socialism teach people that what we've been teaching is true. But my stepsons will have to deal with that question. Unfortunately, you and I will have to watch the decline and hope for the long term.

**************************************
No shots fired, grammie. This is what I've been saying it was clear the Trump would be the nominee. It's obvious that "Principled Constitutional Conservatives" are in the minority. It isn't 1776 any more; heck it isn't even 1984. Things have changed due to progressive pressure. As much as I'd love for it to jump back to small/limited government, it isn't going to happen overnight. We have to adapt to reality, place who we can in office, and work from there. Trump has some gaps (not as many as people would claim) so he isn't perfect, but appealing to working class dems and understanding that we can't simply defund all government programs overnight is the first step towards righting the ship in a realistic manner.

I feel you, and often have the same thought. The only comfort is that we haven't been beaten in the idea sense; we've been beaten in the entitlement game. A staggering 48% of all American's pay NO TAXES. They win by buying off huge swaths of the electorate and emotion based appeals. Notice Hector's comments: It's all perception/popularity and devoid of substance.

Most Trumpbots are on government assistance. Once you are gone, that means less money to spend which means a balanced budget. The economy will boom without the trailer trash and old reactionaries.

Deposing a sitting Speaker is a very, very long shot.
In the House, it's a matter of only thousands of people you have to push to the polls.
Ryan far outspent Nehlen, didn't he? Plus had incumbency, and I'm sure huge name recognition, on top of a powerful political machine. Sure, we would have hoped he did better, but it was one of the longest longshots that you could pick.

I believe the number is larger than that. Last I checked, only about 30% were paying income tax, and most of those not much.

I think the stuff Ace has been posting about the establishment "punishers" trying to throw the election to the progs on purpose with no concept of consequences has been some of the most brilliant and insightful reality-based non-hysterical writing on the entire internet.
It's not a Trump sucks or doesn't suck argument for anyone with a modicum of intelligence or sanity, although most people don't bother to think very hard and get caught up in this futbol-thug cheerleading on that matter.
It's about the corrupt tyrannical march of the progressives. The progs want everyone to think it's some kind of candidate battle. They'd love to have their attributes lost in the petty battles of who said what, when.

At the lower limits the possible side effects from the statins out weighs the benefits of lowering the cholesterol more.
And you NEED cholesterol for your nerves and brain to work properly. It's an insulator.
Too many medical researchers leap out with fantastic claims so they can sell their drug patent and then GTFO. Meanwhile the actual human testing is being done on the populace at large that's being convinced by their doctor this would be good for them.
And also, even those who may need some lowering, if you're of a certain age, the odds aren't really favorable to you.
If you're younger then it might pay off but in your later years (say after about 65-70 the decreased risk is outweighed by your years left).
I know because they wanted to put me on them. And they pushed it a little bit. (not my cardio, my primary care)
I said, the odds aren't that good at my age so I declined. Turns out I was right.

Instead of looking at past performance, I would recommend asking to see the money. No pay, no play. The reason for this is that it has been ages since anyone threatened the system to the extent that Trump does. We now have establishment Republicans more-or-less visibly supporting Hillary. So we are no longer in Kansas.
This doesn't mean Trump is going to win in a landslide. Anything could happen, including Hillary's health throwing a wildcard into the game. Or our good old "security" complex could decide that Trump is even more of a threat to national security than, say, Khadaffi was.
