    I don't know if this is true or not, but I do know they are lazy and think nothing of making ads just this way.

    Polls: Texas is a Swing State in 2020

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 04:53 PM PDT

    Harry Enten: New CBS News/YouGov polls show President Donald Trump is in trouble in three states he won in 2016. He's tied with former Vice President Joe Biden in Arizona (46% to 46%), a state he won by four points in 2016. Trump's down 48% to 42% in Florida, a state he took by a point in 2016.image

    Trump is Still Falsely Attacking Obama for Golfing More Than Him

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 10:30 AM PDT

    President Trump accused his predecessor Barack Obama of not only golfing more (not true) but taking longer to complete a round of golf in a Sunday morning Twitter tirade. Trump, who is estimated to have golfed around 200 rounds in his presidency so far compared to Obama's 100 rounds at the same point, tried to justify his time on the links by calling it a "tiny" bit of "exercise."image

    Lawfare: Stone Commutation Even More Corrupt Than It Seems

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 07:32 AM PDT

    Quinta Jurecic, Benjamin Wittes: Roger Stone isn't just Trump's confidante or friend. According to newly unsealed material in the Mueller report, he's also a person who had the power to reveal to investigators that Trump likely lied to Mueller"and to whom Trump publicly dangled rewards if Stone refused to provide Mueller with that information. Now, it seems, the president is making good on that promise.image

    Peter Navarro calls Biden the candidate of the Chinese communists

    Posted on Sun, Jul 12th, 2020 by Jason Easley

    Trump Adviser Loses It And Declares Biden A Chinese Communist Candidate

    Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro spread his racist coronavirus conspiracy theory and declared Joe Biden the candidate of the Chinese Communist Party.

    Navarro said on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures, "We were cruising along until the Chinese Communist Party basically hit us with that deadly virus, that weaponized virus, and I don't think it's any coincidence that that first year that China had a down economy is the same year now that they are coming after us in all sorts of ways, and Joe Biden is the candidate of the Chinese Communist Party."

    Video via Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo:

    Trump Econ Advisor Navarro claims China sent "weaponized virus" to attack US because Chinese economy was having a down year, declares Biden "candidate of the Chinese Communist Party." pic.twitter.com/s5KGQ77kKs
    — Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) July 12, 2020

    Navarro has been spreading a vile and racist conspiracy about the pandemic for weeks on cable television.

    The Trump campaign is really going to with the nonsense that Joe Biden is a radical leftist communist, even though Donald Trump asked the Chinese communists for help in the 2020 election, and didn't want to say anything bad about China as the virus spread.

    Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars to the Chinese government. China wants Trump to win because he has weakened the United States.

    China funneled money into Trump PACs to support his reelection.

    The candidate of communists and authoritarians everywhere isn't Joe Biden. It's Donald Trump.

    White House seeks to discredit Fauci amid coronavirus surge

    The White House is seeking to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, as it works to marginalize him and his dire warnings about the shortcomings in the U.S. coronavirus response.

    A White House official provided NBC News with a lengthy list of past comments by Fauci earlier in the pandemic that did not age well. Many of those comments were based on the best available data at the time and were widely echoed by Trump and other officials.

    The attacks on Fauci come as coronavirus surges nationwide, which Trump has repeatedly downplayed.

    My husband didn't vote for either Trump or Clinton. Not sure if he cast a third party ballot, I never asked him. He disliked Trump long before 2016 and wasn't voting for Hillary after Bill's presidential campaign when dh saw him in person with steelworkers at a local community center profess he was in their corner then turned his back on the steelworkers once voted into office.

    So casually talking to dh the other day, I said, "You know, not voting for either candidate is a vote for Trump. And voting for a third party candidate is a vote for Trump. It has to be a vote for Biden."

    Dh: "You don't think I know that?"

    Me: "Well, I don't know. Just saying."

    Dh: "Trump's gotta go. We need him out of there."

    The other admission dh made last week, "I never thought Obama was that good of a president, but now I see how good he was."

    This is dh doing his own seeking of answers, I tread very lightly on political matters with him.

    Does that seem possible Trump could turn blue states red? He won some places only by very narrow margins in 2016 and lost the popular vote. Now he has a track record, can no longer claim to be draining the swamp and his attempts to MAGA appear to have failed. Kept his fan base for the most part, yes, but I don't see how he has won over many new voters. Some people in the middle last time voted for him to "give him a chance" to prove himself and now see the error of their vote.

    I feel like a lot of Christian Evangelicals voted for him because of the abortion issue. Save the unborn, vote Trump. Covid19 has buried that issue at the moment; we're now concerned with keeping school children safe as they return to school this fall. There's so much uncertainty.

    When we recognize that nothing has to go right for us to be happy, that people do not have to behave for us to love them, our walk home can be surprisingly simple. We have enormous power not to manipulate the world, but to be happy and to know peace.

    I have heard talk of the possibility of a loss for Trump and not just a loss, but in numbers that are humiliating high. I don't know about that, but in addition to what you mentioned Divine is the snippet about Trump not doing anything about Putin putting a bounty on our soldiers and sticking up for the Confederacy. So it would seem that letting Roger Stone off with a commutation is just another rock in the shoes of people who may have been swayed to stick with Trump not to mention the horrid economy. I think the Reps. ( some of them ) have given Trump until Sept. to turn things around. Well, I don't think he can. He can't have rallies so as to feed off the energy and generally can't let anything he deems a slight go by. He is demoralized to the point that WH aides are looking for ways to cheer him up.

    Hard to fathom his wracking up such destruction on this watch and people seriously willing to vote for him. I know his hangers-on will but I think true to their nature, a lot of Reps. will leave him in the dust of their running away if he continues to falter as badly as he has been of late and I see little to help that. Barr is doing a lot and is dangerous to us as well, but I think there is some ill will towards him as well.

    I think Covid 19 is going to create a downfall for Trump that won't be in any way fixable and that will be as it should be.

    My DH went to high school and played in a band with Lee Atwater. We remained friends with him until his death. I have met Roger Stone and found him a creep many years ago. Lee and I had many ‘discussions’ about politics and his overt manipulation of people. Lee found his ability to trick people a humor. It drove me crazy. There is so much about this man and his administration that causes me to worry about the direction of this country. His inability to handle this pandemic is the frosting on the cake. Hopefully there will be enough people alive in November to vote!

    Artista, the Evangelicals are more fearful of women having power over what they will or won't do with their own bodies than Trump who seems intent on destroying the United States. To me, it is the epitome of misogyny. Instead of seeing Trump as the worst president in U.S. history, ,they think females must be stopped from exercising rights over their own bodies. It boggles the mind.

    Below is a link to a very insightful article about results of a large abortion study. It's a little lengthy but well worth reading for the points it makes, like the fact that legal abortions (2% complication rate) are safer than wisdom tooth extraction (7% complication rate) and...child birth! (29% complication rate).

    From the article:

    “The over-all impression (the study) leaves is that abortion, far from harming most women, helps them in measurable ways. Moreover, when people assess what will happen in their lives if they have to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term, they are quite often proven right. That might seem like an obvious point, but much of contemporary anti-abortion legislation is predicated on the idea that competent adults can't really know what's at stake in deciding whether to bear a child or not. Instead, they must be subjected to waiting periods to think it over (as though they can't be trusted to have done so already), presented with (often misleading) information about the supposed medical risks and emotional fallout of the procedure, and obliged to look at ultrasounds of the embryo or fetus. And such scans are often framed, with breathtaking disingenuousness, as a right extended to people—what the legal scholar Carol Sanger calls "the right to be persuaded against exercising the right you came in with."

    and

    “.....the fundamental principle of human autonomy: people have to be able to make their own decisions in matters that profoundly and intimately affect their own bodies and the course of their lives. Regret and ambivalence, the ways that one decision necessarily precludes others, are inextricable facts of life, and they are also fluid and personal. Guessing the extent to which individuals may feel such emotions, hypothetically, in the future, is not a basis for legislative bans and restrictions.“

    I am for abortions for a number of reasons, but the main one is that we are on this Earth to live our own lives, make our own choices, mistakes, successes defeats, wins whatever comes because with all of it we learn and grow. No one is really alike whether male or female, or creed or color --so with each nuance comes different feelings, needs, and choices. All of our lives we are a work in progress until we take the long journey home. It is not for me, because I can't feel everything someone else does, nor can they feel everything I do. I am not meant to carry everyone's burden -- just my own -- though one can help if asked. So it is a right to make choices that you will live with because it is right for you and no one else.
