I really don’t know what to make of this poll but there is little doubt that Trump is facing a whole pile of legal problems. The big question is what impact this will have on his efforts to regain the White House?

40% of GOP voters voting for the Democrats, or sitting at home, would provide the greatest landslide since 1984.
I put it to you that “The Sound of Freedom” is not just a film that stars a fruitcake, but that a number of people involved in its production are QAnon fruitcakes and that it has been promoted by an entire patisserie of QAnon supporters.
I think you should stop offering apologia for QAnon conspiracists.
*confused*
Likely jollied along in that delusion by his contacts re: Mad Vlad's neo-Okrana/Cheka.
Wonder who YP saw during his last visit to Moscow, and who he was flying to see in St Pete?
“The Sound of Freedom” is a film that has become associated with QAnon.
- The Republican front-runner for POTUS is on the verge of being tried for a crime.
- The leader of Russia just had his main rival assassinated.
I really don't like this Tom Clancy reboot I'm inThis isn't his first one.
But yes. Things have a disappointing lack of certainty at the moment.
(A precedent was probably set with the Smolensk crash in 2010, which was rather convenient for Russia

That crash is a textbook example of what pilots call getting hit by anti-aircraft fire

1. Ultraloyalists nominate him, regardless of trials.
2. The Democrat makes a terrible but non-fatal mistake, e.g. makes everyone think he's senile.
3. It's too late to choose a third candidate (one can't just stand, there are time limits and signature requirements to get on each state's ballot), so Trump wins.
Not more than a 10% chance IMO.
The Kremlin may be good at killing civilians and assassinating allies, but not so much at the military stuff.
Gorgeous evening in my part of London Town.
2/3 of the GOP vote means about 30 million and presumably the Democrat will get 40-45 million so I think we can offer the guest room to Mr Landslide and Party.
There are presumably Conservative voters, party members and activists who still think Boris Johnson should be Prime Minister and Party leader and some of the voters won't now support the Party because Boris is gone?
It's a curiousity - political parties operating in a democratic environment which aren't democratic themselves. Successful political party leaders tend to become or need to become authoritarian within their own party in order to project the united image voters seem to like so in a democracy you end up with a democratic competition between non-democratic parties.
Non-democratic as distinct from anti-democratic - parties which work within a democratic system but are dedicated to its overthrow and replacement with a dictatorship of some form.
1. You were such a lovely customer, that your server decided to reward you by knocking an item off your bill, but forgot (or didn't bother) to tell you that.
2. You came across as such a cheapskate, that your server decided the only way to get you to cough up a decent tip, was by giving you a freebie to curry favor.
In what insiders said was a highly unusual move, the former first minister kept her personal security because of fears over her safety after she left office in March.
It meant she was under police protection when other officers arrested her in June as part of an investigation into SNP finances, and raided her home in April. She has strongly denied wrongdoing.
Her husband, Peter Murrell, a former SNP chief executive, was also arrested, along with Colin Beattie, a former party treasurer. All have been released without charge pending further investigations.
Police Scotland and the Scottish Government have decided to pull the plug on Ms Sturgeon’s close protection detail following behind the scenes discussions about appropriate levels of cover and costs to the public purse.
The Scottish Sun reported that Ms Sturgeon had a team of around six officers on rotation, plus vehicles, to provide her with protection. They were kept in place after she formally stepped down on March 28, but were later scaled back and will be wound down completely this month.
It cited sources who claimed there had been a “row” and “pushback” over a decision to end the security, though this did not come from Ms Sturgeon.

"Wait, is this footage from the Russian lunar lander descent?"
Like much humour, a little close to the bone. But funny.
What was it Peter Cook said of Thorpe's friend? A man incapable of carrying out a simple murder plot without cocking the whole thing up.

That would mean a Biden landslide with Trump getting even fewer votes than the 38% Goldwater got in 1964 or the 37.5% Bush Snr got in 1992 or the 36.5% Landon got in 1936. That is the nightmare for the RNC if Trump is convicted and they allow him to still be the nominee. Albeit they may think it is better for him to take the landslide defeat, keep his voters in the tent and then rebuild post Trump
"There are rumours about the death of the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin. We directly say that we suspect the Kremlin officials led by Putin of an attempt to kill him!
If the information about Prigozhin's death is confirmed, we will organize a second "March of Justice" on Moscow!
He'd better be alive, it's in your own interests...."
I think it most unlikely they will try a March on Moscow again unless their wages have been transferred in advance.
Certainly not out of anything like loyalty to the Fat Controller.
(They really should spend their debate trying not to mention Trump and just talking about what they'd so as President, just to wind him up, but that's not likely).
"Oi! Yev-Yev-Yevgeny! You're my best mate you are!" (falls down and shits himself)
It really does feel like the mafia at times.
I suppose not for the people on it, but if they're Wagner mercenaries anyway my indifference will be marked.
As for potential 3rd-party candidate, note that Ralph Perot did not announce he was running for President in 1992 until February of that year. He ended up with 18.9% of the popular vote.
Getting on the ballot is NOT too difficult in most states, and in few where it's hardest a candidate with real national appeal and potential should still be able to qualify.
Why the Scottish "Premier" is considered the second most important League is a mystery - it should be at least third after the Championship. I'd expect to see Villa put five past League One and League Two sides rather than Championship teams.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You keep dancing around here. Are you going to concede that concerns about Caviezel are not a “far-left conspiracy theory”?
Nobody much minds Prigozhin's departure I guess, but an exhibition of murder?
2030s > legend of Yevgeny (hopefully starring Danny DeVito)
Rule of thumb, Putin - you cannot kill the messiah.
This government is so unbelievably shit. Or maybe they actually hate kids in the state school system. That would explain a lot of what they get up to.
