President Donald Trump is closing in on Joe Biden’s lead, according to a new poll.

The Morning Consult poll released Monday shows Biden has 45% support of voters nationwide compared to Trump, who has 42% of support from voters.

Biden has seen a 5 point net drop in his favorability since the poll was last conducted in late April.

Morning Consult attributes Biden’s drop to the media coverage of Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against Biden.

How Trump lost his Electoral College edge to Biden

[ElNono]

Trump Justice Department asks for more resources to enforce gun laws

The resources are also to help confiscate guns from people who shouldn’t legally be able to own them.

As gun sales surge during the coronavirus pandemic, the Justice Department is asking Congress for more enforcement resources — including to confiscate guns from people who shouldn’t legally be able to own them.

In recent outreach to Capitol Hill, DOJ made two requests related to the spike in gun purchases, according to two sources with knowledge of those asks. First, the department asked for funding to help the FBI hire more staff to keep up with the growing number of background checks and appeal requests going through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The bureau runs that system, which handles background checks on millions of gun buyers every year.

“The top priorities for the Department of Justice are to protect the safety and security of the American people and to ensure that Americans are not deprived of their constitutional rights,” said Stephen Boyd, head of the department’s Office of Legislative Affairs, in a statement. “Increased funding for NICS and ATF at this time is important to achieving those goals.”

The department also asked for more resources and personnel for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to deal with firearm retrievals and other field work related to delayed denials, according to the two sources. The term “delayed denials” refers to situations in which people buy weapons and take them home before the NICS system can flag those buyers as ineligible to own guns.

Many background checks take just minutes. But some can take much longer. And if a background check is still underway and unresolved after three days, the gun buyer can take the weapon home. That’s when things can get complicated; if the NICS system concludes that someone has taken a weapon home who shouldn’t have been able to, then agents from ATF have to go retrieve it.

How Trump lost his Electoral College edge to Biden

Joe Biden's polling average has been consistently higher than Clinton's final margin throughout this campaign and currently stands at 4.2 points for the last five public polls listed on Five Thirty Eight.

The data below is current through Monday, May 11.

Biden leads in those 12 states by over 5 points and is outperforming his national average by nearly a point.

Whereas Clinton did worse than her national margin in 9 of the 12, Biden is doing better in 8.

https://images.theweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/new_graphfix2.jpg?itok=wKZ3zMC2


https://images.theweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/new_graph3.jpg?itok=OBkigmX5

Today's polling has Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Arizona tied as the tipping point states.

As you can see, we don't get to a swing state where Biden does worse than his national average

until Florida, which in this scenario he would not need to win.

And if Biden wins the national popular vote by his current average of 3.8 points, he's likely to score a 351-Electoral Vote landslide,

Those losses would be achingly close — probably just a few thousand votes in each state. But the final Electoral College tally would be 294 for Biden and 244 for Trump.

First, Democrats have consistently held a massive advantage on the generic congressional ballot,

which asks respondents which party they intend to vote for in congressional races.

Right now they hold an average lead of 8 points (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-generic-ballot-polls/) in the last five generic ballot polls,

bigger than any edge they held during at any point in 2015 or 2016 and close to their advantage in 2018.

if Democrats win the House with a popular vote advantage of 7.7 points, you can be almost 100 percent certain that Biden will also win.

based on the numbers we're seeing today,

not only has Trump's Electoral College fortress crumbled like one of his mismanaged businesses,

but Biden might just be building one of his own.

Trump broadly threatens criminal charges against his enemies;

the press can't keep hiding from this

Since Sunday, Trump "has used his Twitter account to make or elevate

allegations of criminal conduct against no fewer than 20 individuals and organizations,"

from MSNBC host and Trump now-critic Joe Scarborough to, of course,
myriad officials associated with former president Barack Obama.

the obvious dangers—the inherent threat to democracy—of an installed

national leader threatening his political opponents and public critics alike with criminal prosecution.

Again, and again, and again, an American president calling for the jailing of his detractors and investigators

is treated as a novelty, rather than an unforgivable sin against his nation.

Trump seems to have gained new confidence Barr will indeed launch new criminal probes of Trump's enemies, and

he has been listing a string of likely targets—

namely anyone Trump is mad at during any particular hour of his day.

It is also likely, based on Barr's past acts and various hints, that

Barr himself will soon be threatening such things.

Explaining coronavirus to Trump is like ‘bringing fruits to the volcano’:

Administration official

he’s “impervious to reason” as they try to steer him through the coronavirus crisis.

It took weeks to make Trump understand the gravity of the situation,

the president remains difficult to reach (https://www.ft.com/content/97dc7de6-940b-11ea-abcd-371e24b679ed) with science-based evidence,

“[It’s like] bringing fruits to the volcano,”

“You’re trying to appease a great force that’s impervious to reason.”

Trump purposefully avoided proactive steps for dealing with the pandemic ...

because he had been persuaded by son-in-law Jared Kushner that those actions might hurt the economy.

“Jared [Kushner] had been arguing that testing too many people, or ordering too many ventilators,

would spook the markets and so we just shouldn’t do it,”

“That advice worked far more powerfully on him than what the scientists were saying.

He thinks they always exaggerate.”

Trump was also persuaded by Fox News personalities to promote hydroxychloroquine

pushed out vaccine scientist Rick Bright for blocking efforts to promote the unproven drug.

“People turn into wusses around Trump,”

. “If you stand up to him, you’ll never get back in.

What you see in public is what you get in private.

He is exactly the same.”

For some seniors, virus is shifting their views of Trump

President Trump’s approval rating has fallen among older Americans, many of whom feel especially isolated and at risk.

Even a small shift among this bloc of voters could pose a serious threat to the president’s reelection.

after nearly four years of President Trump’s tweets,
the impeachment scandal, and especially,
what they see as his disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic,

they can’t imagine voting for him again.

Trump’s approval rating among voters over the age of 65 dropped 20 points

between March and the end of April, making seniors more critical of the president’s performance than any other age group aside from 18- to 29-year-olds.

Much of that decline seems directly related to the virus,

which so far has posed a far more serious health threat to older people.

the president’s eagerness to get the economy moving again seems to have put him at odds with many older voters

by a nearly 6-to-1 margin, seniors said the government should prioritize halting the spread of the virus over focusing on the economy.

“The people my age, we have become dispensable,”

several recent national surveys have shown former Vice President Biden leading Mr. Trump among seniors.

“Trump can’t win without them,”

“If he loses a sizable chunk, or even if Biden can get that margin small, Trump is ruined.”

He says he knows he’s not the only 2016 Trump voter souring on the president.

For him, the final straw was when Mr. Trump called the coronavirus a hoax.

The crisis “has just confirmed how incompetent [President Trump] is –

and how uncaring he is for others,”

a Quinnipiac poll (https://poll.qu.edu/florida/release-detail?ReleaseID=3659) taken in late April found him 10 points behind Mr. Biden among voters over 65.

whether the pandemic could have a dampening effect on seniors’ top-notch turnout rates.

many campaign strategists are wondering if some older voters may choose not to vote at all.

they’re planning to canvass for Mr. Biden –

the first time they’ve done anything besides simply vote for a candidate since Barry Goldwater.

The USPS Is Reviewing Its Amazon Package Delivery Fees Because of Trump

Almost a month after President Donald Trump threatened to block a $10 billion emergency loan (https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/04/24/trump-postal-service-loan-treasury/) to the U.S. Postal Service

unless it raised shipping prices on companies like Amazon, UPS, and FedEx,

the USPS has decided to review its package delivery contracts,

“If they don’t raise the price I’m not signing anything, so they’ll raise the price

The USPS has always fought back, saying it maintains the prices it does to stay competitive in the marketplace.

finance chairman of the 2020 Republican National Convention, Louis DeJoy, :lol the new postmaster general

Major medical journal demands Trump’s removal over abject failures of COVID-19 response

the editors of the esteemed medical journal Lancet (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31140-5/fulltext) called for a new president in 2021 who can competently deal with a major health crisis by letting health care professionals do their jobs.

the editors called out President Donald Trump and some of his top aides for undercutting the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) at a time when the U.S — and the world at large — are being ravaged by the COVID-19 virus.

“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flagship agency for the nation’s public health, has seen its role minimized and become an ineffective and nominal adviser in the response to contain the spread of the virus.”

an agency that was once regarded as the gold standard for global disease detection and control,”

‘I clearly made a mistake’:

Mitch McConnell admits to Fox News that he misled Trump supporters

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

falsely claimed that the Obama administration did not leave the Trump administration “any kind of game plan (https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/mitch-mcconnell-destroyed-in-brutal-fact-check-after-trying-to-blame-obama-for-trumps-coronavirus-failures/)” for a pandemic.

McConnell was fact-checked for his false claim by former Obama administration Ebola czar Ron Klain.

Trump’s re-election prospects dim as the coronavirus spreads through the Rust Belt

he proclaimed, “The fourth quarter is going to do very well. And next year is going to be through the roof,” :lol

but Poltico reports that the public is not buying it.

The virus has moved from urban centers like Detroit and Chicago

into suburbs and more sparsely populated counties,

a trend seen from western Pennsylvania to Minnesota and Iowa. In Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania—

Democrats’ so-called “Blue Wall”—

19 counties report coronavirus cases doubling in less than 14 days (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html).

Trump won all but one of those counties, by an average of 65 percent,”

“The region has been devastated by job losses amid pandemic-induced economic shutdowns,

in some cases far outpacing the national average in terms of the proportion of their workforces that have applied for unemployment benefits since mid-March,”

In Michigan, more than 3 in 10 workers have sought aid in the past two months, according to a POLITICO analysis of Labor Department data.

Layoffs and furloughs are also piling up in Pennsylvania, where more than one-fourth of the workforce — or 29.6 percent — has filed an unemployment claim.”

the problems Trump was supposed to fix after he was elected in 2016 still remain. :lol no shit! Was Trash lying?

the Trump vote was a vote of despair and desperation.

And that despair and desperation remain in 2020,”

“They are very clear about what those missteps are and, frankly, they are angry,”

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/trumps-re-election-prospects-dim-as-the-coronavirus-spreads-through-the-rust-belt-report/

So USA has "votes of despair" for Trash, and the same regions have (white people) "deaths of despair", guns, alcohol, drugs.

These people see the "democracy" and Capitalism have both fucked them over for 40+ years.

The Era of Stupid

President Trump’s moronic behavior is the defining feature of American life.

I have a suggestion for how we should define the Trump Years: The Era of Stupid.

in its simplicity and crudeness, it vividly captures the absurdity of our times.

There are so many “stupid” examples one can choose from:

Sharpie-gate;

the president’s talk of buying Greenland;

his musing on whether it’s possible to nuke a hurricane or

inject people with disinfectants;

his refusal, aped by many of his followers, to wear a mask in the midst of a global pandemic.

The list goes on and on.

But president’s latest fixation is perhaps Peak Stupid — “Obamagate.”

a tricky question: How does one pass judgment on something that doesn’t actually exist?

these accusations is that they elide some rather pertinent facts.

the FBI interview of Flynn happened after Trump took office in January 2017.

And how exactly was the Obama Administration targeting Flynn for unmasking when they could not have known Flynn’s identity before the unmasking? (I feel stupid even writing this question.)

All of this is somehow connected to the Russia investigation, Trump suggests.

many of the unmasking requests from Obama administration officials appeared to revolve around Flynn’s shady dealings with the Turkish government (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/13/us/politics/unmasking-flynn.html), for whom he was lobbying.

the vast majority came before he got entangled in the Russia affair with his controversial call to Sergei Kisylak, the Russian ambassador to the United States — a call he lied about to the FBI. That lie was a crime, to which he later pleaded guilty.

there does seem to be a simple reason Flynn was regularly being unmasked by Obama administration officials —

he was engaging in behavior that merited unmasking requests.

the goal here is not to prove a crime,

it’s to suggest with raised eyebrows,

declarative tones, and

a wink and a nod that something bad happened.

What is that bad thing? Well no one really knows, but believe me — it’s bad. Really bad.

It’s bad like nothing you’ve ever seen.

in the Era of Stupid, many people seem primed to believe this bad thing they can’t actually describe.

The president said it’s true.
So did Tucker Carlson,
Rush Limbaugh, and
Sean Hannity.
It’s all over Facebook and
Fox News:

Michael Flynn is the most persecuted man (https://www.essence.com/news/politics/michael-flynn-nelson-mandela/) since Nelson Mandela.

the president appears to actually believe that Obamagate is real.

Just as he clearly believes that the Russia investigation is a hoax.

Just as he once believed, and may still believe, that climate change is a Chinese plot.

Like his committed followers, he spends much of his day religiously watching Fox News.

He fervently believes right-wing conspiracy theories.

And because he’s president, he has a large and influential platform for regurgitating them for mass consumption.

when he spouts off, fellow Republicans, the White House staff, and conservative media embrace and amplify it.

The result is an entire political ecosystem

devoted to the propagation of stupid.

this is the time in which we are living;

when the stupid, mindless, and inane have not just entered the political mainstream,

but have come to define it.

All of us, whether we believe it or not, are stupider as a result.

“And that is a function of the fact that he has no conscience,” he explained.

“So he doesn’t make a distinction between right or wrong,

nor does he feel a distinction between right or wrong.

so when he is inventing stories and lies and a reality that is of his own making,

he’s doing it without any shame or guilt, and

that is an enormous advantage in a situation

where most people would be limited by their respect for the truth and

by their concern for how they were going to have an impact on others.”

Judge Deals Setback to Trump Family:

Ugly Pyramid Scheme Lawsuit Likely to Unfold in Public

A federal judge sitting in the Southern District of New York has refused to stay

a lawsuit alleging that Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and the Trump Corporation committed “various business torts,”

including engaging in an illegal pyramid scheme.

The lawsuit, originally filed in Oct. 2018 (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/lawsuit-trump-tricked-people-into-investing-in-get-rich-quick-schemes-when-they-were-down-and-out/) as an anti-“racketeering enterprise” action, was later streamlined.

The class sued on various state and federal charges–including “racketeering and conspiracy to racketeer” claims.

The two federal claims were dismissed by the court (https://www.courthousenews.com/trumps-still-on-the-hook-for-promoting-pyramid-scheme/) after the Trump family filed for a broad dismissal in January 2019 (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/trump-family-moves-to-get-racketeering-enterprise-lawsuit-against-them-tossed-out/). But the case is yet living.

The class action plaintiffs allege that the

Trump family business promoted a multi-level marketing, or pyramid, scheme known as ACN Opportunity, LLC.

ACN, the plaintiffs said, was a

“get-rich-quick scheme” that relied on

Trump and his family “conn[ing] each of these victims into giving up hundreds or thousands of dollars,”

in violation of various state laws:

Obama Lives in Trump’s Head

The president feels the need to shower lies and blame upon his predecessor.

No one irritates Donald Trump quite like Barack Obama.

Trump’s run for president was in part triggered by his enmity for Obama,

his desire to one-up him, and

he has performed his presidency as a singularly focused attempt at Obama erasure,

dismantling what he can of what Obama built and

undoing policies Obama instituted.

Obama is everything that Trump is not: intellectual, articulate, adroit, contemplative and cool.

He also happens to be a black man. The fact that he could not only ascend to the height of power but also the heights of celebrity and adoration vexed Trump.

Trump set about to demonstrate that none of that mattered, none of it could supersede the talents of a confident counterfeit.

He convinced himself that Obama was the convenient recipient of affirmative action adulation from a world thirsty for racial recompense, an assuaging of white guilt.

Trump has held this view well before anyone heard the name Barack Obama. In 1989, Trump said in an NBC News interview,

“A well educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white, in terms of the job market.”

Trump went so far as to say that

“I’ve said on occasion, even about myself,
if I was starting off today I would love to be a well-educated black :lol

because I really believe they do have an actual advantage today.”

This was not a compliment. Trump adheres to the

theory of unearned black privileges at the expense of white effort,

that there is a handme-out meritocracy specifically for black people, a form of cultural welfare.

This made Obama an early target for Trump.

He questioned Obama’s birth and his heritage,

his abilities and educational pedigree.

He questioned his leadership and his work ethic.

Trump knew the terrible legions of flaws he possessed and

was incredulous that this black man could be devoid of any.

So, he feverishly searched for error, sometimes inventing it, moreover projecting his own error onto Obama.

Obama became Trump’s foil for personal reasons of racial and cultural insecurity.

But Trump’s view of him perfectly aligned with a larger phenomenon:

A significant swath of white America grated at the uppityness of this black man

who would set the tone for how Americans
should behave, and

his black wife who would lecture them about what to eat.

Obama wasn’t on the ballot in 2016, but in a way he was.

Trump wasn’t only running against Hillary Clinton

— whom conservatives revile, whom Vladimir Putin reviles, whom the patriarchy reviles —

he was also running against the black shadow of a black man.
These voters chose the opposite of Obama,

they chose the moral and intellectual antithesis,

someone who could arrest the advance that Obama represented:

an ascension of multicultural power and
a coming erasure of white advantage and
the dominance of white culture,

all of which establishment forces had either allowed or encouraged.

Trump was elected to restore the cultural narrative of the primacy of whiteness.

Now, with the colossal disaster of his Covid-19 response threatening his re-election prospects, Trump is attempting to draft Obama once
again as his primary opponent.

No president would have wanted this pandemic to happen on their watch. There would be death and suffering regardless. But,

it is hard to imagine another president handling the situation as poorly as Trump has, which has led to far more death and suffering than was necessary.

Where we are with this virus was not inevitable.

It is the direct result of Trump’s failed policies.

Trump has tried for months to do

what he has always done:

invent an alternate reality,
lie,
blame and
brag,
deny responsibility and
claim victory.

But that simply doesn’t work as well when the coronavirus has claimed more American lives in a few months than the Vietnam
War claimed in a decade.

It doesn’t work when tens of millions of Americans are out of work and the economy is teetering on a depression.

So, Trump is reaching past Joe Biden in his basement for

an opponent who evokes a more visceral disdain from his base: Obama.

Donald Trump Jr joins dad’s feud against Morning Joe hosts as president continues hurling murder accusations

“He’s once again tweeting conspiracy theories about Joe, falsely accusing him of murder,

talking about a death of a young staffer in his office years ago, and

calling him dangerous to walk the streets,” said Brzezinski, who married Scarborough in 2018.

“That’s sick, Donald — you are a sick person.”

Trump has been calling for a cold case investigation of the staffer’s death, :lol Barr's on the case! :lol

which a coroner found was linked to an undiagnosed heart condition that caused Lori Klausustis to pass out and hit her head.

president’s eldest son then mocked Brzezinski by calling her “Karen,”

“Just a friendly reminder that the President’s attempted extortion of states was anticipated,” Goldman tweeted.

impeachment witness Pamela Karlan, a Stanford Law professor who testified during the trial that

Trump’s request for assistance from Ukraine was similar to

him asking a state’s governor to perform a favor in exchange for disaster assistance.

“In fact, it was a hypothetical designed to show how absurd that would be,” Goldman tweeted.

Fired State Department watchdog was probing protocol office

The investigation may have contributed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s push to oust Steve Linick.

The now-fired State Department inspector general had recently wrapped up an

investigation into two other top aides to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,

determining that they had likely failed to report allegations of workplace violence,

The probe into Cam Henderson, who leads the department’s Office of Protocol, and a deputy of hers, Mary-Kate Fisher, could have been another factor in what Pompeo and his deputies have described as mounting frustration with the inspector general, Steve Linick, and might have contributed to the secretary’s push to oust him.

The Pompeos worked closely with the Office of Protocol on a series of intimate, hush-hush dinners that

featured influential conservatives,
administration officials and
Wall Street financiers
in what some critics have viewed as the improper use of taxpayer dollars.

the inspector general was looking into his actions, those of his wife, Susan, as well as some of his aides.

Henderson took over as the chief of the Office of Protocol last summer, after her former boss, Sean Lawler, was pushed out.

Some in that office accused Lawler of intimidating and harassing his staffers,

and even carrying around a whip on the job. :lol

investigated further claims that Henderson and Fisher, while working under Lawler, had

violated State Department policy by not reporting allegations involving Lawler and workplace violence to higher-ups.

the probe was finished about two weeks ago and Linick’s office was awaiting a response from the department.

Fisher was also under scrutiny as part of the investigation.

Henderson as a generally likable person who nonetheless may not have always acted in the best interest of the protocol office. :lol
