The power of presidential pardon is another relic

that should not be there anymore. It can be abused at will by crooks like Trump. Imagine if one of his goons goes and murder a few democrats in Washington DC. Trump could just pardon that person of that federal crime.
Et voila! The opposition is gotten rid of.

There is enough stuff out there to charge stone again

on other crimes. I also doubt Stone will be able to keep quiet and avoid committing more crimes.

whats stopping Trump

to quietly liquidate assets, move money to offshore accounts, negociate residency with a foreign country with no extradition treaty, setup a bullshit visit there, resign upon landing, run for the hills.

Trump is engineering an extinction event for the GOP.

Both politically and literally. The convention will take place in Jacksonville with no social distancing or masks. For good measure, since there are not enough hotels, they are commandeering a cruise ship to house the attendees...

And you know what ? The magats will go for it. Trump has a Jim Jones hold on his cultists

This mayor of Buffalo is completely clueless

he is double speaking trying to excuse the behavior of the police officers. Making the argument that police should keep moving forward instead of helping the poor guy they just showed to the ground.

Rachel just showed Al Sharpton's eulogy for George Floyd.

It was incredible, he was on fire and of course perfectly on point.
He is getting together various groups to come together and organize a long term movement to end police violence, emphasizing that local elections are crucial, not just the white house. Hd put it in context of the struggle black people have been facing for the last 400 years and declared that now is the era where we end police violence.

Wtf. Chris hayes is back at it with Tara reade.

he's got a journalist who recounted the whole story saying it sounded credible at the time. She did not address reade's credibility issues. Hayes is meekly trying to do that but if you caught the first few minutes of the broadcast you would think reade is perfectly credible.

Hayes is totally inept at covering this. It backfires every time.

So which is it ? Biden ahead in battlegrounds or Trump ?


From the newsweek:


Analysts are most closely eyeing polling data out of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida, all of which Trump won in 2016 after Obama won them twice. Recent polling suggests that Biden, who served as Obama's vice president, currently has the advantage. In several key states, the Democratic candidate leads Trump, while national polls also show Biden as the favored presidential contender.

Those polls were taken last week.


Meanwhile on msnbc, kornacky produces another poll where Biden is behind in every battleground state.

Sounds unlikely to me that Biden would suddenly be behind in every battleground state, not sure what is going on.
