Most GOP voters would support Trump even if he’s convicted – politicalbetting.com
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?
@Sandpit was celebrating the success of “The Sound of Freedom”, a film starring, associated with and heavily promoted by Jim Caviezel.
Promoting the film, Caviezel repeatedly spoke about how he is worried about “the adrenochroming of children.” That’s the QAnon conspiracy that Democrat politicians and Hollywood moguls are extracting blood from children under torture and in sacrifices to make a psychoactive drug, adrenochrome. Caviezel said: “Essentially, you have adrenaline in your body and when you are scared, you produce the adrenaline. … If a child knows he’s going to die, his body will secrete this adrenaline and they have a lot of terms that they use that he takes me through but it’s the worst horror I’ve seen. It’s screaming alone. Even if I never, ever, ever saw it, it’s beyond. And these people that do it, um, there will be no mercy for them.” He’s said the issue is “greater than” the Nuremberg trials.
He's also said, “the storm is upon us”. The Storm is the moment when Donald Trump reveals that he’s been President all this time and orders mass arrests of the evil cabal of elites behind the child sex trafficking. He’s talked about "the Rothschild banks" and "a Rothschild pope" oppressing Christians. "I'm certainly not antisemitic," Caviezel told Steve Bannon in an interview. "The studios wouldn't hire me, but see they're all controlled by the central banks."
Former co-workers have described Caviezel as abusing a dog on set; not wanting to shoot a scene on a production where his character rescues a gay couple; saying interracial relationships should be banned; and saying Hitler “had the right idea” but went “too far”. Another former colleague said, “Working with Jim, is like working with a puppy… If that puppy liked Hitler”.
Err, nope. That’s far-left conspiracy theory that’s no better than far-right conspiracy theory.
What part of the above is untrue? There is video of Caviezel saying the things in the first paragraph: https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1383419877881303045 The podcast with Steve Bannon is publicly available. There are multiple reports of Caviezel's behaviour.
https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1383421963104788489?s=20 That's video of Caviezel "explaining" about adrenochrome. Are you saying that video is faked? Are you saying there's no QAnon adrenochrome conspiracy nonsense and Caviezel meant something else?
He’s an actor, they’re all weirdos. The clips you show are very much out of context.
Here’s an interview with Tim Ballard, the subject of the movie, who asserts that there’s an actual problem with sex trafficing from Mexico to the US. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UK3NWozQXdY
The clips aren't out of context. Provide me with the context that explains why he's talking about the "adrenochroming of children", or why he's talking about "a Rothschild pope".
How does a different person talking about something else demonstrate that it's a "far-left conspiracy theory" to say that Caviezel endorses QAnon nonsense?
Stop excusing QAnon nutters.
You’re taking about an actor. Should I not see Top Gun or Mission Impossible, because Tom Cruise is also a total religious fruitcake?
Does your post here mean you now accept that Caviezel promotes far-right conspiracy theories and that your claim that I was giving a “far-left conspiracy theory” when I said that the first time was in error?
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.

I suggest that you watch the interview with the subject of the film, that I linked above. He’s been rescuing children in Mexico and in the US, and isn’t a random conspiracy theorist. The children are real children, and the film has made $150m at the box office.

That crash is a textbook example of what pilots call getthereitis. The external pressure on you as a pilot, to land the plane at a certain place at a certain time, irrespective of the rain and the wind. It’s often seen in diplomatic flights, and in private aviation where the principal passenger is going to a specific meeting, and private pilots are specifically trained on it.
Any candidate for US president that gets ~65% of the vote from their party's primary voters is toast.
Normally yes. I suppose Trump path to winning is:
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.
We are all being very naughty. When the troll turns up on Saturday and asks for names, don't tell him!
I've realised what those clowns are up to. Their posts contain coded messages to sleeper agents. PB is being used as an information conduit by the FSB.
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.
This is the second restaurant in a row that has missed something off my bill. I think my honesty is being tested.
Two working theories:
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.
If most of your voters vote for you ... then you lose.
40% of GOP voters voting for the Democrats, or sitting at home, would provide the greatest landslide since 1984.
Yes. This polling shows of course that a large number of Americans are completely nuts, but also that Trump has peaked. At 28% to be next POTUS he is not value. Good.
Nicola Sturgeon is to be stripped of her £600,000-a-year security detail over fears that it does not represent value for taxpayers, it has emerged.
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.

Not more than a 10% chance IMO.
The bit I'm not sure about is the third candidate, Ralph Nader has stood but was he on the ballot in all 50 states or just some? Do not the requirements for getting on the ballot vary from state to state?

Even so if 40% of 2020 Trump voters don't vote for Trump again if he is nominee but convicted and jailed that takes the Trump vote down to 28%.
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
If they've failed to assassinate him then it might be time for Coup Mark 2.
On the other hand, if they have assassinated him, then Wagner say:
"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...."

They're mercenaries. They fight for whoever pays them.
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.

Nah, just posturing I'd bet. Feckless mercenary scum will rise up over their leadership being killed rather than just fall apart?

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.
Perhaps he's stashed a few billion away in a trust fund that pays anyone who takes revenge.
I wonder how the GOP lcandidates will respond to the Russia news, given some of them have, er, complicated views on the whole affair.
(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).
Even so if 40% of 2020 Trump voters don't vote for Trump again if he is nominee but convicted and jailed that takes the Trump vote down to 28%.
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
The problem is that defeat brings on its coat tails loss of Congress and the Senate as well as gubernatorial elections. The GOP would be completely locked out of power for at least two years.
We are all being very naughty. When the troll turns up on Saturday and asks for names, don't tell him!
I've realised what those clowns are up to. Their posts contain coded messages to sleeper agents. PB is being used as an information conduit by the FSB.
I thought it peculiar that Leon heads off on an "assignment" after they post.
Perhaps they needed a drunken sot to divert attention by taking lots of drugs and perving on younger women whilst dribbling.
"Oi! Yev-Yev-Yevgeny! You're my best mate you are!" (falls down and shits himself)
Apparently another Wagner plane was in the air near Moscow at the same time. Now if two planes get shot down that is going to look a little bit suspicious.
If they've failed to assassinate him then it might be time for Coup Mark 2.
On the other hand, if they have assassinated him, then Wagner say:
"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!

I am not a Kremlinologist, but the question should perhaps more be what the top influential oligarchs feel about this. The power behind the power.

If they've shot down the wrong one that's actually hilarious.
I suppose not for the people on it, but if they're Wagner mercenaries anyway my indifference will be marked.
Any candidate for US president that gets ~65% of the vote from their party's primary voters is toast.
Normally yes. I suppose Trump path to winning is:
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 bit I'm not sure about is the third candidate, Ralph Nader has stood but was he on the ballot in all 50 states or just some? Do not the requirements for getting on the ballot vary from state to state?
In 2000 general Ralph Nader was on the ballot in DC and every state EXCEPT for North Carolina, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
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.
More confirmation of the chasm between English and Scottish league football as Hibs are now five down to Villa.
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.

Basically, if you have enough money and organisation you can be on the ballot in every state.
@Sandpit was celebrating the success of “The Sound of Freedom”, a film starring, associated with and heavily promoted by Jim Caviezel.
Promoting the film, Caviezel repeatedly spoke about how he is worried about “the adrenochroming of children.” That’s the QAnon conspiracy that Democrat politicians and Hollywood moguls are extracting blood from children under torture and in sacrifices to make a psychoactive drug, adrenochrome. Caviezel said: “Essentially, you have adrenaline in your body and when you are scared, you produce the adrenaline. … If a child knows he’s going to die, his body will secrete this adrenaline and they have a lot of terms that they use that he takes me through but it’s the worst horror I’ve seen. It’s screaming alone. Even if I never, ever, ever saw it, it’s beyond. And these people that do it, um, there will be no mercy for them.” He’s said the issue is “greater than” the Nuremberg trials.
He's also said, “the storm is upon us”. The Storm is the moment when Donald Trump reveals that he’s been President all this time and orders mass arrests of the evil cabal of elites behind the child sex trafficking. He’s talked about "the Rothschild banks" and "a Rothschild pope" oppressing Christians. "I'm certainly not antisemitic," Caviezel told Steve Bannon in an interview. "The studios wouldn't hire me, but see they're all controlled by the central banks."
Former co-workers have described Caviezel as abusing a dog on set; not wanting to shoot a scene on a production where his character rescues a gay couple; saying interracial relationships should be banned; and saying Hitler “had the right idea” but went “too far”. Another former colleague said, “Working with Jim, is like working with a puppy… If that puppy liked Hitler”.
Err, nope. That’s far-left conspiracy theory that’s no better than far-right conspiracy theory.
What part of the above is untrue? There is video of Caviezel saying the things in the first paragraph: https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1383419877881303045 The podcast with Steve Bannon is publicly available. There are multiple reports of Caviezel's behaviour.
https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1383421963104788489?s=20 That's video of Caviezel "explaining" about adrenochrome. Are you saying that video is faked? Are you saying there's no QAnon adrenochrome conspiracy nonsense and Caviezel meant something else?
He’s an actor, they’re all weirdos. The clips you show are very much out of context.
Here’s an interview with Tim Ballard, the subject of the movie, who asserts that there’s an actual problem with sex trafficing from Mexico to the US. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UK3NWozQXdY
The clips aren't out of context. Provide me with the context that explains why he's talking about the "adrenochroming of children", or why he's talking about "a Rothschild pope".
How does a different person talking about something else demonstrate that it's a "far-left conspiracy theory" to say that Caviezel endorses QAnon nonsense?
Stop excusing QAnon nutters.
You’re taking about an actor. Should I not see Top Gun or Mission Impossible, because Tom Cruise is also a total religious fruitcake?
Does your post here mean you now accept that Caviezel promotes far-right conspiracy theories and that your claim that I was giving a “far-left conspiracy theory” when I said that the first time was in error?
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.
I suggest that you watch the interview with the subject of the film, that I linked above. He’s been rescuing children in Mexico and in the US, and isn’t a random conspiracy theorist. The children are real children, and the film has made $150m at the box office.
How do those points counter what I’ve said? Yes, there are children who are trafficked. QAnon conspiracies impede the ability of law enforcement and society in general to tackle real sex trafficking.
You keep dancing around here. Are you going to concede that concerns about Caviezel are not a “far-left conspiracy theory”?
More confirmation of the chasm between English and Scottish league football as Hibs are now five down to Villa.
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.

In fairness, Rangers did make it to the Europa League final last year. I agree there is little strength in depth.

This years Villa are pretty formidable. They thrashed Everton 4 nil the other day.

PROVIDED you put money and organization to good use, meaning know and follow rules and laws of each state. Something that Jared proved incompetent at re: Ye's 2020 "third"-party campaign.
The drama of the situation is getting to me, I keep expecting a broadcast to be interrupted with a 'Prigozhin Lives!' exclamation like that cutscene from Tiberian Sun.
Rule of thumb, Putin - you cannot kill the messiah.

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.

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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolensk_air_disaster
That crash is a textbook example of what pilots call getting hit by anti-aircraft fire

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.

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.
