"Mrs. Clinton’s six-percentage-point lead over the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, in a CBS News poll last month has evaporated."
"The two candidates are now tied in a general election matchup, the new poll indicates, with each receiving the support of 40 percent of voters," the NYT reports.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 428 of 428Or in the alternative, I hope Trump dumps Pence tonight and selects either the General or Ernst.
We don't need a damn senator or governor, we need someone with military and/foreign policy experience.

Read it now.
Or I run you over with big truck!
Read it now.
I did. Like.
Wow. Chaos in France. No post.
But a thousand responses to some Trump-Hillary poll shit. Remember when the perfesser wouldn't even tag him? Cruel stupidity. "Hey i'm just a blogger, get yer own gig, shit-head."
Wow.
Please excuse me. I just came here to say:
Get ready, suckers.
Bullets for sale.
yes, very helpful, that's why I included some links along the way, including from a times reporter who has covered this particular area,
which true to form, the times is not using, but lesser writers with fewer contacts,
Word on the street is that Meadhouse is travelling. (fellow travellers geddit? yuk yuk) But I wonder if the destination is Cleveland?
"Cleveland -- The mistake on the lake."
"If it gets too "hot" for you in Chicago, you go to Cleveland until it cools down."
"If you're incompetent you go to Erie."

Hey only 400something in this thread. But yes, far more than the used Kotex pad post of yore.
Chaos in France? We are all about the pokemons now.

Officials are not sure what the truck driver’s motive was.
“He was such a normal-seeming person,” said his neighbor, Abdulaziz Mohammed.
He last encountered the police when he was questioned about recent foreign travels, but they found his explanation that he was visiting his sick grandfather good enough.
“Who could have figured this would happen?” said Gendarme Escargot, head of the 14th Prefecture.
The driver’s name and photograph are not being released for unknown reasons.

How Much Blood, Mr. President, How Much Do You Need?
Nice, France, Bastille Day.
As this is being written, a terrorist act has claimed the lives of some 73 persons and the injury of over 100.
We await the pro forma statement from the White House about thoughts, prayers, standing with the people of France, pledging our support, yeah yeah, yeah.
I doubt we will hear anything about the terrorist being a Muslim motivated by the Koran.
I doubt we will even hear anything about motivated by a "perverted, extreme, radical form of Islam."
Sure we will hear the mind-numbing yada-yada about extremism, not giving up our way of life, vowing to protect Muslims from the impending backlash, and, of course, not to give into fear and hatred, oh, and remember the Crusades and so on and on.
One more time: the basics.
As I have written a zillion times the war against Islam is a 1400-year-old one.
Better said, Islam has been attacking the West for 1400 years.
Once upon a time, the West fought back, and Islam was confined to dusty, forgotten corners of the world.
That has changed thanks to oil money, technology, and, of course, insane Western immigration policies that have allowed Muslim boots on the ground in the West.
We all get lectured, in the face of all the evidence to the contrary, that Islam is not violent, that the mass killers in the growing list of cities around the world, are not real Muslims, because Islam is a "Religion of Peace."
OK, sure. I have asked many, many times (here, for example),
"99% of Muslims" are not terrorists. Is that true?
I don't know. From where does that number come?
I don't know. Let's, however, go along with the gag.
Let's assume it is accurate, and come up with our own equally valid "99%" statistics.
Some samples follow;
I am sure you can turn this into a drinking game--but not around Muslims because drinking offends them (unless they are Saudi diplomats in Islamabad).
Did you know that,
-- 99% of the Japanese did not attack Pearl Harbor?
-- 99% of the Nazis did not kill Jews or Gypsies, or invade Poland?
-- 99% of the Communists did not engage in Stalin's or Mao's purges?
-- 99% of the Germans killed in Dresden had never bombed England?
-- 99% of the Italians did not invade Ethiopia?
-- 99% of the Iranians did not occupy the US embassy in Teheran?
-- 99% of the Al Qaeda membership did not fly airplanes into the World Trade Center or the Pentagon?
And so on, and on, and so what?
What does that "99%" prove? Just one thing: There are consequences in the real world to belonging to organizations or following ideologies and leaders that commit atrocities.
That's the way it works.
If 99% of Muslims are not terrorists, and do not support terrorism (that's the big "if") where are they?
Do we really need to go on?
President Obama, Islam is an existential threat to us and to our allies.
Period.
It seeks global domination.
It will use openly military means, e.g., the ongoing battle in Syria and Iraq, guerrilla/terror means as we have seen on our own streets, and use our tolerance and belief in diversity against us.
You, the ostensible leader of the West, have failed miserably to identify the enemy and, of course, to develop a strategy, a total strategy not just a few bombing missions in Syria, to defeat this enemy.
In fact, you have acted in a manner that makes many of us feel, wonder, and think if you're not rooting for the other side.
You even go out of your way to encourage Middle Eastern Muslims to emigrate to the United States.
Why?
How many more innocent people must die?
It's Islam that is killing them.
President Obama you are a disgrace.

Haaaa!
I will not vote for Trump. I am a conservative. Trump is not a conservative. I am registered as an independent.
The "nevertrump" folks ought to remember that it is called the Republican Party, not the Conservative Party. You gotta dance with the one that brung ya. If you won't vote for Trump, quit calling yourself 'Republican.'
That said, I can imagine a Hillary poll collapse more easily that I can imagine a Trump poll collapse.
Although I will not vote for Trump, I hope he wins. I want to see pics of Trump and Boris Johnson embracing in front of the White House. Put Owen Wilson in there, too, just for the whole blondes-with-crazy-hair-turned-up-to-eleven bit.
Beep, Beep!
Terry, are you just a little bit insane? Or do you have that kind of sense of humor that makes people think you're insane?
Terrorist Is Now a Biased Term. Journalists Should Stop Using It. - Slate
Talk about burying the lede! Who knew that journalists refrained from using biased terms?
Apparently it was two lone lorrymen, who just happened to be in the same truck at the same time.
Somebody put out an APB for my buddy Althouse. Her last post was at 6:52 AM. Highly unusual.
I agree with Hager - probable road trip. Back to CO this summer, or someplace interesting for a change? (Says a native Coloraoan)
I bet she's just out catching Pokemon. Kids these days...
I would gladly guest-post for Althouse if she needs the Help.
I am a Helpful Person.

I blame Pence. Apparently he said something unfriendly about gay power once and a snit has resulted.
The snit hits the fan.
Hillary really believes the great majority of Americans love Lena Dunham, think Elizabeth Warren is profound and hold BLM in the highest esteem. After all, everybody working for her election believes these things.
You know what's kind of weird?
It's kind of weird the way you can use your thumb and forefinger to pluck whiskers out of your philtrum.
They come right out!
How weird is that?

You can do the same thing with your eyebrows. Keep at it, the results are worth it! ( Plus, when you are finished, everyone else will know what's kind of weird too )
From the Fauxhaus Blog:
The Target Transgender Bathroom Photographer is Fake.
Covered on many internet sites, the reports of a Transgender Person taking photographs of children in a Target bathroom stem from a humor 'news' source.
Ah... What we expect to be true can show our blind spots to what we WANT to be true. The desire for the world to match our lowest expectations: think of this as we proceed into what the BLM Movement calls "A Day of Rage."
A Dylan lyric comes to mind:
"Freedom just around the corner for you But with truth so far off, what good will it do."

All too true, Laslo. None of us is above this failing.
