Here is one for the po’ ol’ pollhead-
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

Its the economy stupid –
The Small Business Optimism Index marked its second highest level in the survey’s 45-year history at 107.9, just below the July 1983 record-high of 108, the National Federation of Independent Business said Tuesday.
The index reading was expected to decline a notch from June’s 170.1. The rise to 107.9 was four basis points higher than the highest estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
The July report also contained good news for workers, with a seasonally-adjusted net 23 percent of small businesses planning to create new jobs. Thirty-seven percent of owners said they have unfilled job openings.

Really, how do you form a coalition between La Raza, feminist studies professors, urban ‘knowledge’ workers, BLM, the crack KVMR news desk? There’s not all that much they have in common. It isn’t like the crack KVMR news desk is going to move away from all the other nice middle class white people.

That’s one winner of a judge.

A scandal involving lavish office renovations and other financial abuses by the highest court in one of the poorest states in America has triggered an extraordinary move by one branch of government to essentially fire another.
The West Virginia House of Delegates on Monday impeached four justices of the state Supreme Court on charges of extravagant spending and other misconduct, setting the stage for a Senate trial that could lead to their removal.
One of those impeached retired on Tuesday, averting the prospect of sitting through a proceeding that is sure to explore the justices’ fancy tastes in embarrassing detail. And the court’s fifth member retired under pressure last month.

While some people hope for change others actually change things in a lasting way –
Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are leading a lower-key yet deeply consequential charge to remake the entire federal judiciary.
The Senate will return Wednesday from an abbreviated summer recess to confirm two more federal appeals court judges by the end of the week. That would come on top of a record-breaking string of confirmations: The Senate already has installed 24 appellate judges since Trump was sworn in, the highest number for a president’s first two years in office.
While much of the focus has been on Kavanaugh and Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, the Senate’s rapid approval of appellate judges is likely to have its own broad impact on the nation, as the 13 circuit courts will shape decisions on immigration, voting rights, abortion and the environment for generations.
There are 179 authorized judgeships for the U.S. Court of Appeals. With 24 confirmations and 13 vacancies to fill, Trump and the Republicans have the power to install more than 20 percent of the judges on the nation’s second-highest courts.
“The Supreme Court gets the bulk of the attention, but the circuit courts decide the bulk of the cases,” said Arthur D. Hellman, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who studies the federal judiciary. “Because the Supreme Court these days is taking so few cases, the law of the circuit is, on many, many issues, the final law for the people who live in that circuit.”

More on the panic inside the White House. Great fun!!!
“In a White House already crippled by backstabbing and paranoia, news of Omarosa’s tapes has landed like a bomb, effectively further paralyzing proceedings. “People are terrified . . . absolutely terrified,” a former Trump aide told Politico, which described an environment akin to the “psychological warfare that gripped the [Hillary] Clinton campaign two years ago,” when WikiLeaks gradually released skeins of John Podesta’s hacked e-mails. Worse, the tapes have reportedly deepened another fear among Trump staffers: that Omarosa is not the only one who secretly recorded conversations. According to CNN, that fear has permeated the ranks of Trump’s senior staff—even those who rarely interacted with Omarosa are now alert to the possibility that their own co-workers may have taped them.”

Welcome back Punchy.
Glad to see you are back to normal. Ok, I’m sorry. Boy, when I told Brother Ben that I was going piss on his union organizers grandpappy’s grave, that really got his Irish to flare up.

We are all mongelized. We all got four grandparents and eight grandparents and….
Many many moons ago, there was on my mother’s side a little Irishman who was the tailor for the Queen in Merry O’ England. He was a rather mischievous lad. As the family story goes, he made the Queen of England some very risqué lingerie. The Queen flew into a rage and ordered his head on a platter. He fled for his life and ended up in Colonies and changed his name. . He was a wanted man, but England being a prim and proper civilized nation as it were, he later in life received his small pension from the Crown as the oral tradition goes.. The other side was probably running around humping buffalo. 🙂

Good. It’s about time somebody did something about that. Seriously, they need the sort of protocol that secure facilities have. No phones, no thumb drives, nothing with storage or that is fairly computerish. Computers in the facility have glued up USB ports, etc. You can imagine the kind of things that any President in history has said in private conversation (except for perhaps Saint Obama with his familiar, Val).
On the flip side, maybe we all need to get used to the fact that people say rude things. I’m getting bored with all the manufactured outrage.
On a related note, just imagine the research going on in all celebrity twitter/facebook/etc. feeds right now. If you said something mean 10 years ago, and you’re rightish, you’re in trouble.
Seeing as how saying The ‘N’ Word is the single largest crime a human is capable of, worse than the Holocaust, the Holodomor, or the sack of Baghdad, it seems to me that they should put specialized speech recognization software in any surveillance gear with a great big flashing red light and siren.

“Would you attend a demonstration for something you support if you knew ahead of time that you would be outnumbered and confronted by thousands of counter-demonstrators with a history of fomenting violence and dedicated to silencing your viewpoint?”
The whole point of violence and/or the threat of violence is to scare people away from exerting their right to assemble peacefully. It’s the bully mentality that often accompanies indefensible values. Violence serves two purposes, to suppress opposition and to let it be known to those on the fence and those within the ranks, that anything but loyalty will not be tolerated even if it means turning a blind eye to the violence itself. It is a conundrum. I suppose whether to demonstrate or not ultimately comes down to how strong your beliefs are, how pissed off you are at the other guys, whether you think it will do any good, and whether or not you recognize your strings are being pulled by the puppet masters who seek to divide our country for political control.. so far they have been pretty damn successful if Americans have more disdain for each other than Russians.

So, Bobby – when Obama derided Romney for saying that Russia was a threat to America – where was your outrage against Obama?
And remember Bobby’s big time quote -“…if Americans have more disdain for each other…”
Gee, wasn’t it soooo long ago we had a POS POTUS that said – “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Or maybe Bobby’s gal Hillary – “You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ [laughter, cheers] They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”
We can certainly look up many of Bobby’s declaration’s of disgust of those statements.
