Triumph of the Could at Gettysburg: “Slide into partial irrelevance…even more difficult for Trump”
Trump’s self-fulfilling idiocy still needs to drive his numbers further down. Like punking his gun-toting followers, a desperate Trump thinks that having his GOP RNC acceptance speech at Gettysburg will do for his neo-confederate followers something, something Charlottesville. The Stephen Miller logic probably has more historical revisionist malarkey in the first speech draft. Then again…
MT-Sen: WaPo Explains How Split-Ticket Voting In Montana Could Tip The Senate In The Democrats Favor

Trump could send protection squads to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland
All power does derive from the bottom. The various “snatch” teams likely were training for such specialized operation in larger cities.

SCOTUS decision could spell trouble for Trump in rape case
Ruh-roh. I’m no lawyer — partly because I enjoy writing books and blogs more than studying the law, and partly because, well, weed — but I can read and comprehend a story about Trump’s jowly buttocks landing squarely in the fondue pot. Looks like one of the unintended consequences of the recent 7-2 Supreme Court decision…
Trump's Racism Could Cost Him the Election – In Fact, It has To Do So
Trump got himself elected in large part by playing on this country’s racism, exploiting resentment over Barack Obama for not only being the nation’s first Black president, but for being mostly successful at it.

Ed Kilgore at New York Magazine nails it: Savvy Democrats generally understand that if Joe Biden wants to get anything done as president, Democrats need to take the Senate. If Republicans maintain control, Mitch McConnell stands waiting like a bridge troll to obstruct anything a new administration or its House allies might try to accomplish….
MS, SC, KY, GA & TX-Sen: Axios, “Black Senate candidates could make history in 2020”
From Axios: There are five black men running for U.S. Senate in the South as Democrats who could not only make history, but are using this unique moment to have difficult, intimate conversations about being black in America.

Russia's 2020 reelection interference: Trump could absolve the IRA but get a secondary infection
More monkey business. One hopes the USIC is working hard on protecting the 2020 election, especially from unnamed other malign actors. Forgeries, interference, and attacks on Kremlin critics across six years and 300 sites and platforms. Secondary Infektion is a series of operations run by a large-scale, persistent threat actor from Russia that worked in…
Melania saddled taxpayers with millions in security costs so she could renegotiate her prenup
She’s a Trump, after all.

agents provocateurs: because only antifa could pre-position construction debris to throw at cops
So much disinformation, so little time left to election day. Malign forces are at work, not always interested in things like equal rights under the law. Which side are they on.
