[So here’s the drill about the riots. According to the Big Liberal Lie Factory, up until last week there were no riots, only peaceful protests for social justice – ask anybody in the Dem leadership including Bumblebrain. This week this position became ludicrous even for the country’s liberal contingent. So a massive pivot was necessary and pulled off on the Sunday lamestream talk shows. This week the riots are suddenly real, and have been so for some months, all caused by President Trump inciting white nationalists to violence from the White House. Now that’s a more palatable version of reality for all the land's leftists. gjr]

“Bad news on the way for Trump and the Repubs”. Oh goodie, I can’t wait. Are we there yet, are we there yet?
Well, I hope the story is as riveting as the bad news about Trump hiring Russian harlots to urinate on the Moscow hotel bed that the Obamas sleep on. Brilliant idea. Yellow shower. Urine is sterile and Trump is a germaphobe. Why didn’t I think of that. Now it all fits. That Trump is something else, I tell ya. And those ladies of the night….well, the Russian women are knock out gorgeous. Breathtaking. But, they do kinda talk and write funny.

Hey, it’s a tough gig being that last hayseed node on the Public Innuendo and Slander System, but somebody has to do it. Harris/Biden 2020 demands it and the once-a-week cycle has to be kept to. Like the Nazis and their trains, this is one thing the Democrats can keep on schedule.

At least the power is still on for a bit. I always assumed that California would morph into Latin America given unchecked immigration, but we seem to have managed it on our own. A China virus no one knows what to do with, problematic electricity, overpopulation and poor forest management keeping insufficient fire suppression busy, home insurance slowly but surely going away, Communist Anarchists (a thing I’ve never wrapped my head around) marching in the streets as part of an election, grumblings from the patriots, drug money running a great deal of the local economy. Welcome to South America.

James Howard Kunstler speaks:
“The abiding mystery of the 2020 election is how come the Democratic Party, wishing so zealously to win back power, took pains to nominate a candidate weaker than the ghost of Millard Fillmore. Resorting to Occam’s Razor, one might have to conclude that Joe Biden was simply the best they had — a surefire case for the party’s necessary extinction.
The Labor Day starting-gun kicks off the high campaign season and Ol’ White Joe wobbles forth from his lair under a rock somewhere to dazzle audiences of six or eight sympathetic journos posed in “social distancing” formation while the party’s Antifa and BLM shock troops soften up voters elsewhere across the land with vote-winning riots, arson, and looting. There’s a recipe for political success!
You have to wonder how the claque of DC deep state players behind this fiasco could come up with a game-plan so stupidly inept… but there it is! Apparently, they’re laying further plans now to bum-rush Ol’ Joe into the White House by main force with a “color revolution” — that is, an orchestrated fake popular revolt as in the Ukraine Maidan regime change operation of 2014. In fact, as Revolver News reports, the same wrecking crew of US State Department officials, intel spooks, contract insurrectionists, and George Soros-sponsored NGO intriguers is behind the US 2020 “Transition Integrity Project” aimed at launching a US post-election coup against Mr. Trump, no matter how the election actually goes.”

So Barry you are outright contending that the Atlantic article is a lie and all the sources are lying. Keep in mind that includes Fox News. So far five news services have verified the Atlantic news report. By the way they are now saying:
“Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said his magazine’s story about Trump calling Americans who died in battle “losers” and “suckers,” was just the tip of the iceberg.
“I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks,” Goldberg told CNN’s Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on “Reliable Sources” Sunday. “We have a responsibility and we’re going to do it regardless of what he says.”

Predicting politics with a note of certainty is a dangerous business.
Personally, I just assume dead heats in Presidential races simply due to the nature of marketing to the masses. They’ve gotten a lot better at it due to the surveillance (and analysis) technology that has been put into place in order to sell soap.
Any chance you’re being manipulated by click-bait headlines? targeted ads? friends who are swayed by software that knows more about them than they know about themselves?
No way, huh?

And the bad news keeps piling up for the TDS set. Get thee to thy fainting couch oh great pony tail of ignorance –
President Trump is regaining his footing in Texas as Joe Biden (D) slips in the polls nationwide, a recently released Dallas Morning News/UT-Tyler poll showed.
According to the survey, taken August 28 to September 2, Trump is strengthening in the Lone Star State, leading his Democrat opponent by two percentage points, 48 percent to 46 percent. According to the Dallas Morning News, that represents a significant shift in the president’s direction, given that he trailed the former vice president by five points in July.

Anyone excited about either of these two major party candidates is certifiably nuts.
You are 100% part of the problem.
If we had commissioned an artist to create a piece that epitomizes the disconnect the Republicans and Democrats have with the average disgruntled, disillusioned, and disenfranchised people of the USA they could not have done any better than the two old senile predators that top the ticket of their party.
Trump is a silver spoon bigoted bully who has never in his life identified with average working stiffs in his entire privileged life that was funded from screwing over the poor in NY City and New Jersey.
Biden is as entrenched DC Beltway establishment candidate as one can get. Possibly even more so than Hillary Clinton.
The only plan that makes sense is both major parties are so disappointing that there is no clear mandate for reforms since not enough people will participate in this shit show circus we call elections in the USA.
Gloria La Riva and Howie Hawkins will most likely be receiving my poll vote for President. Senators and representatives at both state and federal level will come from all parts of the political spectrum as usual.

Been Jammin’ Emery brings up a salient point.
“…since not enough people will participate in this shit show circus we call elections in the USA.”
Has it ever occurred to folks like BE that popular elections are supposed to be messy?
There are many other types of highly organized govts and they avoid the ‘shit show’ by many means. Every one of them is completely un and non democratic.
We have to elect somebody. At least for now. Maybe in the future we’ll have a robot running on the ‘robots’ rights’ ticket.
That person is a human and has problems. Since they want to run for office the chances are they have a lot of problems. I dunno. Anyway – that person is not going to be my choice as the best. It won’t be your choice either. You can’t tell me the DNC thought Biden was their first choice. But for various reasons, he’s their guy. He’s the not-Trump. And Trump is the not-insane guy I’ll vote for. Not-insane is a pretty low bar, but who else is there that has a chance? The Dems have absolutely no idea what to do but just let the govt take over everything at various rates of speed. The R’s (as a party) have no idea of what to do at all (beyond get elected).
I’ll vote for Trump. His track record is the best out there. Yes – he probably can shoot someone in the street. That will still make him the better choice than anything else out there.
Sad.
But better than any other kind of governance that I’ve seen.
