Bob Akavian, 77, leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, implored voters to "deliver a decisive defeat to Trump and the whole fascist regime.”

I despise Kamala Harris. And her law enforcement background doesn't do her any favors. Pushing through faulty confessions and lying to judges is NOT behavior that anybody should want from an attorney general.

She's a terrible choice. But so are all the others
Including her's and the others' potential running mate.

Kamala Harris comes across as a Hillary Clinton--mean-spirited and amoral--anything for power. I doubt that she will be the VP candidate for Biden. I still think the Dems will put up Michelle--unless Joey sniffed her kids hair or felt them up.
[Breitbart] A new poll released this weekend shows President Donald Trump, the incumbent GOP president, has taken a national and battleground states lead over his Democrat challenger presumptive nominee former Vice President Joe Biden.
The survey, from the Democracy Institute commissioned by the Sunday Express newspaper, shows Trump leading Biden 48 percent to 46 percent. What's more, Trump has opened up a bigger lead according to this poll in the crucial battleground states, meaning the president by this pollster's estimates currently is projected to win 309 electoral votes‐more than he did in 2016.
Overall, this poll has Trump nationally at 48 percent to Biden's 46 percent with six percent undecided. Among white voters, Trump leads 53 percent to 46 percent. Trump is surprisingly strong with black voters at 20 percent in this poll‐he got about eight percent of the black vote in 2016‐while this survey has Biden at 77 percent. Hispanic voters in this poll break for Biden 51 percent to 38 percent, which would also represent an increase for the president over his 2016 performance with Hispanics.
"Crucially, President Trump has a lead of 48 percent to 43 percent in the swing states Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which would put him back in the White House with an electoral college tally of 309 to Biden's 229," David Maddox, the political editor for the Sunday Express, wrote about his newspaper's survey.
The poll has Trump leading in Florida 47 to 45 percent, leading in Minnesota 46 percent to 45 percent, and in New Hampshire 46 percent to 43 percent. "The polling suggests Mr Trump is emerging as the race leader because of a belief he is best in handling the economy," Maddox wrote. "With a third of voters putting the economy as the top election issue and 66 percent thinking that the economy is bouncing back after coronavirus, voters believe that Trump is better for the economy by 57 percent to 43 percent."
When it comes to the electoral college, this pollster argues that Trump will pick up Minnesota and New Hampshire but that Biden would pick up Wisconsin.
Democracy Institute Director Patrick Basham is quoted as saying the survey data seems to demonstrate that Biden's campaign may have "reached its high water mark."

Dems invented the Torricelli maneuver. They can be expected to repeat it. Of course, "Borking" only worked against Bork, so we can always hope for a massive FAIL again.

Not picking Bernie could cause ... problems. Picking anyone will cause problems.

I expect Michelle Obama with a "Make America Hope Again" slogan or some shallow marketing thing like that to appeal to blacks and liberals. I also think she would have to dodge debates as she has no real experience in anything beyond watching her husband (how'd that work out for Hillary?)

According to the internet... Biden had two brain surgeries back in 1988. Decide for yourself if he should be a viable candidate for President of the USA.

I don't believe we've seen enough of old Joe to accurately judge his real state. But the longer he stays in his basement the more people will wonder and rightfully so. He'll either have to come out swinging at some point or let somebody else have a go. Problem is, if they replace him with anybody but Bernie, they're gonna lose the Bernie vote. But then, if they nominate Bernie, the lose anyway. Maybe they have become increasingly loud and shrill because they know they have no good options. Maybe they'll try another impeachment.

Well, it appears sometimes that he has difficulty expressing himself sometimes..

Information is coming at your six ways from Sunday. It will always be this way. Forever into the future. It is not something one can control or organize into a nice sequential process. "Mom, can you please help me?" Those days are gone. "Did I say gone ? Yes I did ! " Nature being what it is..... I recommend we all decide for yourselves. The USA is devolving into a disorderly construct. The past 5 decades were comforting ( half century for this ewho cann't pay attention. 50 years is a sufficiently long enough time to decern a "trend". Take it for what it was. The time to grow a backbone and decide what is real and what is not is here. Tradecraft has long taught me that one has to stand on one's own two feet. Not parental advice, but one's self. Take what comes along and make your own decision. You cannot, repeat.... cannot ask that other people take responsibility for your own choices. The time for choosing is now...... I have made mine. You make yours. See you on the battle field. Either your are in front of me or..... beside each other. Your choice. Time to be self actualized. Google it if you don't comprehend. I've stopped long ago trying to accommodate idiots. May they remain on the battle field... Antiedam or Gettiysburg . Literally hundreds of mu ancestors were there. I can list them by name. Can you? The 2nd 1865 is coming. How it will unfold is not relevant... but is will shortly unfold in your life time..... That is all that is important and frightening. I never wanted it to be, but its beyond my control. That I can tell. Decide for yourself what you will choose to do. Choice is everything.

We're all human. We all make mistakes, both spelling and otherwise. But I like to think that we don't all stumble over our words like Joe does. I'm not sure if it's dementia, brain farts or what. But he does appear to have a problem.

@ "trailing wife" I made a comment while in Dhahran about 15 years ago to you on this website. You noticeable became scared and thought I was a "jihadi" at the time. I wish to apologize for that.....but....the internet being what it is, and the fact that we can't see who is infront of us talking..... it does change the human conversation dynamic. We are all learning to adjust when someone comments and isn't physically in-front of us at the time we talk. I don't know who you are "trailing wife' but I have good idea. You probably now have a good idea too of who I am from my recent comments......long winded.... so be it. Just wanted you to know that I'm sorry about scaring you. Didn't mean to do that. Took years to make my apology.... but I had to safely retire before posting this. Chow.....

Ospas Dhahran 49, forgiveness gladly given. I’m sorry I misunderstood you then, and I’m very glad you came back. Congratulations on your retirement! May it be all you hoped for and more, though if you are like Mr. Wife and several others around here, you'll find yourself working about as hard on projects of your own choosing as you did when you were in the payroll, despite plans to sleep until noon and grow a beer belly (or to finally take the time to recover the body of your youth). ;-)

I saw two Biden for Prez ads this afternoon on HGTV. Other than climate change, his platform is very much like Trump's - less China, more American jobs, more American productss, more small business.
I didn't catch anything about law and order, however.

Trump has probably been leading in the polls all along. The pollsters are not trustworthy.
[Washington Examiner] George Soros donated more than $100,000 to a PAC that supports St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner.
Soros, the prolific liberal donor, cut a check for $116,000 last month to the Missouri Justice and Public Safety PAC,
...another name to find in future searches — it seems they do the same kind of name game the jihadis do: lots of name changes with the same underlying personnel to fool those hunting them...
which was created to support Gardner. Soros was the only donor listed on the Missouri filing.
As of Aug. 1, the group has spent $104,393 of the $116,000 that Soros donated, with $77,804 paid to Gardner's campaign directly, according to a Sunday report from Just The News. Gardner is facing a primary election in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Michael Vachon, a Soros spokesperson, confirmed the donation and noted that Soros has a history of supporting candidates who share his views on criminal justice reform.
Gardner caught national attention after she charged Mark and Patricia McCloskey for brandishing weapons after protesters broke down a fence and entered their private neighborhood last month. While the McCloskeys were hit with felony charges, Gardner opted not to charge protesters who had been arrested in June during the George Floyd protests.
Gardner has also been questioned for failing to disclose her travel outside of Missouri, as required by state law. According to a recent report from KMOV4, Gardner went on several vacations paid for by the activist group Fair and Just Prosecution without disclosing the trips.

Strange who those 'easy to get' gun states don't have the kill ratio that Chicago has. Then again any excuse to cover failure is a hallmark of the whole sad problem.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
