Interesting
I think these political cartoons might go over people's heads, so I'm going to explain them. You're welcome.
While he's claiming to work for the American people, in reality, AG Barr is more focused on representing Donald Trump's interests.
William Barr is the Jiminy Cricket to Trump's Pinocchio, and they're both liars.
Trump's administration says they want to protect statues and also they are destroying the rule of law. These two separate things are cleverly connected by the depiction of the Rule of Law as a statue of Lady Justice, with AG Barr riding a wrecking ball on its way to destroy her.
The main message here is that William Barr is not impartial, and he IS acting as the president's personal protector. Also, he has a massive and droopy jaw. But confusingly, the fictional creature which supposedly represents a good and impartial AG has a devil's tail. On the surface this makes no sense, but it's likely that some of the subtle messages here are going over my head.
Would be interesting for sure if it wasn't all in this guy's head.
It's a real poll, though one I've never heard of.
Even if all the polls were FAKE NEWS and couldn’t be trusted, why is McConnell pulling the “distance yourself from Trump if you need to” ripcord to help in bents like Ernst/Tillis win their race if Trump is doing so well? Why did Trump also just change his campaign manager/temporarily stop all new ads so his campaign could rebrand its message? Ignoring what the polls say, Trump and the GOP aren’t acting like a party that thinks the polls are wrong.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
Nothing is happening to me. lol
Provide, or...keep fantasizing.
It does purport to be a real poll but it’s not credible enough to be on 538/RCP. Beyond a paragraph that gives high level summary on how the poll was conducted, there doesn’t seem to be a full report available that you typically find with credible pollsters ( Chris - if you have the poll’s full PDF report can you post a link? Would be curious to read it.)

Link doesn't even load for me.

But when you click on the link to the poll it doesn't go anywhere. Might have been deleted because it was .
I had to follow a rabbit hole that led me to Breitbart() and then the eventual "pollsters" which then led me to their site which is...a Trump blog it seems.

What a show. It's fake.
Im largely curious if the whole thing is just made up propaganda and no poll was even conducted or if they actually conducted a poll where the sampling was severely flawed
The fact Trump himself isn’t even pimping this poll speaks volumes.
Poll from July 7th btw. lol Chris making me do his leg work.
It's a show from July... looks more like an edgelord 'look at me' poll...

New anti-Trump video mocks Trump for his 5-year-long lie about having a ‘healthcare plan’
Starting in 2015, Trump maintained that the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, should be killed and that he would replace it with something better.
The problem is that at no time in the 10 years Republicans have tried to undermine the law have they been able to create an alternative.
“Obamacare. We’re going to repeal it, we’re going to replace it, get something great. Repeal it, replace it, get something great!”
Before Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2017, he promised that the GOP’s “repeal and replace” plan would have “insurance for everybody.”
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,”
“There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”

COVID-19 taking down the US would be a big deal globally
https://www.project-syndicate.org/co...oubini-2020-07But if the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in the United States and other countries is not controlled, and if a second wave occurs this fall and winter before a safe and effective vaccine is discovered, the economy would likely experience a W-shaped double-dip recession. And with such deep fragilities in the global economy, one cannot rule out an L-shaped Greater Depression by the middle of the decade.
Pucker factor intensifies for so called Senate moderates. Doesn't really matter because the GOP doesn't need Murkowski to confirm another justice, hopefully it doesn't spread to blue state GOP Senators, it would be very unfair to prevent POTUS from filling a SC vacancy just because it's the end of his term.
Following a conversation between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and President Donald J. Trump, Microsoft is prepared to continue discussions to explore a purchase of TikTok in the United States.

Trump Administration gives MS a brisk genital massage behind closed doors, then goes on TV the next morning and calls them a NATSEC threat.
This is one of the 10Ms of Americans who would accept a Repug President as dictator
‘I could have used a tad bit more of a fascist Trump’
tan makeup?
campaign’s new senior adviser for strategy Steve Cortes wishes the president had cracked down harder,
Cortes, a frequent cable news guest and former spokesman for the pro-Trump America First Action SuperPAC,
has been fanning racist and anti-Semitic conspiracies on his radio program to encourage Trump to use authoritarian force.
“I think this is incredibly important that we talk about George Soros and others,”
—to achieve a nullification, really, of America, of our founding principles.”

More hiring shenanigans, Trump hates Senate confirmation of Cabinet-level personnel, so he just skips it.
such is Trump's respect for the Cons ution, the laws and republican norms
Census Door Knocking Cut A Month Short Amid Pressure To Finish Count
The Census Bureau is cutting short critical door-knocking efforts for the 2020 census amid growing concerns among Democrats in Congress that the White House is pressuring the bureau to wrap up counting soon for political gain,
will end on Sept. 30 — not Oct. 31, the end date it indicated in April would be necessary to count every person living in the U.S. given major setbacks from the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's going to be impossible to complete the count in time,"
"I'm very fearful we're going to have a massive undercount."
About 4 out of 10 households nationwide have still not participated in the cons utionally mandated count of every person living in the U.S., and
self-response rates are even lower in many communities.
The condensed door-knocking time frame
increases the risk of leaving out many people of color, immigrants and other members of historically undercounted groups from numbers
that are collected once a decade to determine each state's share of
congressional seats,
Electoral College votes and
an estimated $1.5 trillion a year in federal tax dollars for Medicare, Medicaid and other public services.

‘It’s bad news’:
GOP strategists fear Trump is almost out of time to save his losing campaign
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/its...8460&list_id=1
this presumes a non-faulty election.
is there any reason to presume the upcoming election can't be bollixed by COVID-19, polling site closures, election worker shortages, an overwhelmed USPS and the political machinations of a losing candidate working overtime to sow mistrust in US elections and willing to use the levers of power to prop up his own campaign?
Pootin may have told Trash to keep mismanaging the pandemic, let it continue to explode, so Trash can declare a national emergency and postpone the election.
Trash already tweeted or said he won't wait days or weeks needed to count mail-in ballots.
If Trash loses by a small margin, less the 1M? votes, Trash and Barr will demand recounts and send 1000s of Repug lawyer all over the country like in 2000.
