@#38 ... and people don't understand loyalty....it has to be bought. ...

Apparently you don't understand loyalty either.

Loyalty has to be earned, it is not bought.

@#11 ... Only if 538 includes the margin of fraud, illegal alien votes and magic mail in ballot boxes. ...

How do you know it doesn't?

What evidence do you have of the things you mention occurring on a large-enough scale?

@#9 ... Trump is leading today but he has to avoid acting like himself for almost four months. ...

Yeah.

Without acting like himself, will he be able to animate his rally attendees to the point where they cheer their cult leader as he craves?

@#6 ... After William T. Riker? ...

... The jurors sent the note after resuming discussions Monday morning in Manhattan federal court, following their first three hours of deliberations on Friday. The corruption trial for the New Jersey Democrat is in its 10th week.

Their written note asked: "Does a not guilty verdict on a single count require unanimity?"

After consulting with lawyers in the case, Judge Sidney H. Stein responded: "Jury, your vote -- whether guilty or not guilty -- must be unanimous as to each count and to each defendant." ...

@#2 ... JD Vance brings nothing to the ticket. ...

Well, there's the beard. ;)

If elected, he'll be the second VP with a full beard.

... The announcement came Monday as members of the party gathered in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. Trump's campaign revealed little about the presumptive GOP nominee's top considerations until then, saying anyone who claimed to know specifics was "lying unless that person is named Donald J. Trump." ...

@#3 ... I don't trust polls. ...

It is not necessarily the polls, it is mostly the opinions and projections derived from the polling data.

For example, the RCP electoral site for 2016 showed that there were too many toss-up states, and that the election was too close to call.

That is one reason why I prefer the RCP poll charts and maps, they just present the polling data, no projections.

... Scientists have made a crucial DNA discovery that could help cure one of the deadliest cancers.

A team of researchers from the UK and US have found that pancreatic cancer is able to shut down molecules in one of the body's most important genes, helping the disease to grow and spread rapidly.

Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer worldwide, with more than half a million people diagnosed every year. It has the worst survival rates of all the most common forms of the disease.

The deadly nature of pancreatic cancer has stumped experts for years but the breakthrough offers hope in the hunt for a treatment that could wipe out the disease. ...

@#3 ... Just another suicide by cop by a lost and really messed up young man. ...

Has a motive been determined yet?

If the SC in this case has been declared invalid in this case, does fmr SC Smith has been have standing to appeal?

@#74 ... Did the Judge really say she was throwing out the case because the Special Prosecutor is too independent. ...

It does seem to have that, um, fragrance...

@#58 ... It's odd that Judge Cannon can afford that big of a bribe. ...

If there was a bribe, why would it have to be one by Judge Cannon?

Justice Thomas seems to have many Trump-favorable benefactors on his contact list.

@#17 ... In fact it was apparently Justice Thomas was he who gave Judge Cannon the legal roadmap ...

It seems to me quite odd for a SCOTUS Justice to comment outside of cases before them in order to provide "roadmaps."

Wouldn't that indicate an acknowledge of prejudice should related cases come before them?

Some questions that I see are -- The building in question seemed to be outside the security perimeter. So, did the Secret Service not check it out, or did the Secret Service give responsibility to check it out to local law enforcement as they often appear to do in such circumstances? Keeping in mind that readily available AR-15 mass-murder weapons have a range of three times the approximate 150 yard distance from the building to the stage,

I've heard on various news networks that the FBI (part of DoJ) is conducting the investigation, and not the Secret Service (part of DHS) because there may have been an issue with how the Secret Service set up protection.

... The forceful message from Biden -- which was delivered to hundreds of top Democratic donors and bundlers in the president's National Finance Committee -- is the latest evidence that the president and his allies are working furiously to stem defections in the party. Earlier in the day, Biden sent a fiery missive to congressional Democrats, declaring his intentions to remain in the race even as roughly a half-dozen members have publicly called for him to bow out. ...

... The rules came into effect on July 7 and follow a 2019 decision by the European Commission to make ISA obligatory on all new models and types of vehicles introduced from July 2022. Two years on, and the tech must be in all new cars.

European legislators reckon that the rules will make for safer roads. However, they will also add to the ever-increasing amount of technology rolling around the continent's highways. While EU law has no legal force in the UK, it's hard to imagine many manufacturers making an exemption for Britain.

So how does it work? In the first instance, the speed limit on a given road can be detected by using data from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) " such as Global Positioning System (GPS) " and a digital map to come up with a speed limit. This might be combined with physical sign recognition. ...

Here in CT, we've been "sweltering" since June, with afternoon temps running 10 to 20 degrees above the norm and tropical-level dew points. Looks like we're finally going to get a 3 day respite the end of this coming week, then back to the heat.

June averaged 5 degrees above normal.

... Crooks worked in a local nursing home kitchen just a short drive away from his home, the BBC understands.

State voter records show that he was a registered Republican, according to US media.

He is also reported to have donated $15 to liberal campaign group ActBlue in 2021.

According to US media reports, Crooks was wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel known for its guns and demolition content. The channel has millions of subscribers featuring videos on different guns and explosive devices. ...

So, a Republican who seems to have an interest in the gun culture, but may not be so happy with what fmr Pres Trump has done to the GOP?

Case dismissed.
