Sky Dancing <p></p><p>“Trump’s Trickle Down,” John Buss, @repeat1968</p> <p><strong>Good Day, Sky Dancers!</strong></p><p>No one should be surprised that Russia has gone deep into the MAGA end zone to influence the outcome of this election. Republican Congress members are among Putin’s most useful idiots. Russia has always been fond of trying to corrupt U.S. elections by using anything to turn us against each other. The DonOld’s political career trajectory shows how successful they have been recently. We will undoubtedly hear more about the Russian hoax from the dotard since his mind seems incapable of being cogent this election. However, this should get people thinking more.</p><p>Again, we must rely on independent media to hear the entire story. <a href="https://www.publicnotice.co/p/russia-indictment-tim-pool-benny-johnson-rubin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lisa Needham of <em>Public Notice</em></a> has this succinct article today on the recent DOJ indictment of Tenet Media. “Russia’s useful idiots. The MAGA influencer ecosystem is even shadier than we thought.”</p><blockquote><p>On Wednesday, the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/d9/2024-09/u.s._v._kalashnikov_and_afanasyeva_indictment_0.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">indicted</a> two employees of RT, formerly Russia Today, a Russian state-run media outlet, for covertly shoveling millions of dollars at MAGA influencers happy to do Russia’s bidding.</p><p>This has led to the delightful specter of high-profile rightwing commentators loudly insisting they were too stupid to know that Russian money was behind the wildly exorbitant sums they received for producing content.</p><p>While watching Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson scramble is hilarious, the indictment is no joke.</p><p>Indeed, it confirms that Russia continues to manipulate American politics via willing right-wingers — the exact thing Trumpers have <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/crowdstrike-the-truth-about-trumps-insane-ukraine-server-conspiracy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">long insisted</a> isn’t happening.</p><p>The indictment names Kostiantyn Kalashnikov, aka Kostya, and Elena Afanasyeva, aka Lena, as the RT employees who laundered close to $10 million through foreign shell companies, ultimately raining all that money down on an unnamed American media company, US Company-1, who then passed it along to unnamed commentators 1-6.</p><p>Though unnamed, the company and several commentators are easily discernible to anyone paying attention to the rightwing media grift. The company is most definitely <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/09/05/tenet-media-russia-rt-tim-pool/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tenet Media</a>, and its founders are most definitely Lauren Chen, who was also at BlazeTV until the indictment dropped and they <a href="https://www.rawstory.com/lauren-chen-russia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fired her</a>, and her husband, Liam Donovan.</p><p>And the commentators? Tenet’s <a href="https://www.tenetmedia.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ridiculous website</a> describes them as “heterodox commentators” and “creators who question institutions that believe themselves to be above questioning.” That <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2024/09/05/who-are-tim-pool-and-benny-johnson-what-to-know-about-the-six-right-wing-commentators-doj-alleges-were-funded-by-russia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">would be</a> Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Lauren Southern, Matt Christiansen, and Tayler Hansen.</p></blockquote><p>I watched some of these Russian-backed videos on the news yesterday. These guys are basically Russian Limbaughs but are pleading ignorance about their Russian Payroll Masters. This is from <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/09/tenet-media-closed/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Mother Jones</em></a> today. “Tenet Media Shutters After Being Accused of Taking $10 Million in Covert Kremlin Funding<br>Nothing to see here!” Senior Reporter Anna Merlan has the lede.</p><blockquote><p>Tenet Media’s founders, Canadian conservative YouTuber Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan, have not publicly commented on the allegations against Tenet. Nor has Canadian far-right activist Lauren Southern, a Tenet contributor who appeared in many of their videos. Other prominent contributors to the site, including far-right commentator Tim Pool, described themselves as “victims” in the Tenet scandal, who were unaware that employees of RT, the Russian state media entity, were secretly funding the company. Pool announced on Thursday that he has been contacted by federal investigators, <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1831814324492628087" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">writing, </a>“The FBI believes I have information relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation and have requested a voluntary interview. I will be offering my assistance in this matter.”</p><p>The Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/lauren-chen-fired-blaze-media-axes-creator-caught-up-in-russian-influence-scandal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reported</a> that Chen’s contract with Blaze TV, where she also made regular appearances, has been terminated. The company has also <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240902212256/https://get.blazetv.com/lauren/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">deleted her page</a> on their website and wiped episodes of her podcast, “Pseudo-Intellectual,” from Spotify.</p><p>YouTube <a href="https://x.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1831860023602917504" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told NBC News’ Brandy Zadrozny</a> that it had deleted Tenet Media’s channel and four others operated by Chen in light of the indictment and “after careful review,” writing the steps were part of “ongoing efforts to combat coordinated influence operations.”</p><p>For now, Tenet Media’s <a href="https://x.com/watchTENETnow" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter profile</a>, Instagram page, TikTok, and Rumble pages all <a href="https://www.instagram.com/watchtenet/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">remain online</a>—though none have been updated since the indictment was announced.</p></blockquote><p>You may remember that last April, a Republican Congressman complained his colleagues were spouting Russian Propaganda on the House floor. “GOP Rep. Mike Turner: Russian propaganda is ‘being uttered on the House floor.’ House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner on Sunday said several of his GOP colleagues have repeated Russian propaganda on the House floor.” It’s evident that Putin’s plan is succeeding and that Republicans are besotted with Russian talking points. The news story was reported by <em>NBC News</em>.</p><blockquote><p>GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that Russian propaganda has taken hold among some of his House Republican colleagues and is even “being uttered on the House floor.”</p><p>“We see directly coming from Russia … communications that are <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/new-litmus-test-rises-gop-primaries-ukraine-aid-rcna146039" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anti-Ukraine</a> and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” Turner, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”</p><p>“There are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia-ukraine-news" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">conflict between Russia and Ukraine</a> is over NATO, which of course it is not,” he added.</p><p>…</p><p>McCaul, a Texas Republican, <a href="https://puck.news/ukraine-aid-q-and-a-rep-mccaul-on-republican-support-for-bill/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told Puck News</a> that he thinks “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”</p><p>Turner and McCaul each tied Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, to other authoritarian leaders, including President Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea.</p><p>“[The propaganda] makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle, which is what it is,” Turner told CNN, adding, “President Xi of China, Vladimir Putin himself have identified as such.”</p><p>McCaul described explaining to colleagues that the threat of Russian propaganda is similar to threats made by other U.S. adversaries.</p><p>“I have to explain to them what’s at stake, why Ukraine is in our national security interest,” he said. “By the way, you don’t like Communist China? Well, guess what? They’re aligned [with Russia], along with the ayatollah [of Iran]. So when you explain it that way, they kind of start understanding it.”</p><p>The committee chairs’ remarks about Russian propaganda came as they spoke about the need for Congress to approve more military aid to Ukraine.</p></blockquote><p>The snips I saw on news media yesterday were primarily Tim Pool screaming that Ukraine was our enemy and that we owed Russia an apology. He was pretty hysterical and shrieked a lot about our soldiers going there to die shortly. <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/maga-republican-mtg-ukraine-aid-rcna146918" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">These are similar talking points made by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz during funding discussions early this year</a>. This incident makes it even more clear that we need to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to preserve NATO and our National Security.</p><p>I found the Tenet Media story the most disturbing this week, although what really caught my attention was the speech DonOld made to the Economic Club of New York. This is from Phillip Bump at the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/06/following-trumps-train-thought-it-derails-child-care-question/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzI1NTk1MjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzI2OTc3NTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MjU1OTUyMDAsImp0aSI6IjhiYzAzZjc1LWM5YmEtNDY0Ni1hMjY5LTUwODI5MjY3OGM1MiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDI0LzA5LzA2L2ZvbGxvd2luZy10cnVtcHMtdHJhaW4tdGhvdWdodC1pdC1kZXJhaWxzLWNoaWxkLWNhcmUtcXVlc3Rpb24vIn0.fbL_kqbKdquBH4FBErI2VNtqTi7BGf764IDanfI0KTU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Washington Post</em></a>. “<span>Following Trump’s train of thought as it derails on a child care question. </span>Trump sought out an applause line as if it were the sole exit in a flame-filled room.” The audience is supposed to have knowledge in the fields of finance and economics. Their clapping was disturbing as he rattled on about childcare as if it were an abstract notion, and his take on tariffs is basically the opposite of reality. He rambled on with a series of incomplete sentences and just weirdness. Tariffs are a tax on consumers. Period. They caused the Great Depression. The folks in the room know better. They should say something.</p> <p>I’m sure these folks are getting richer by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/futures-rise-inflation-data-spotlight-feds-september-meeting-nears-2024-08-30/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">every tick of the Wall Street clock</a> and know we’re not in an economic disaster. They’re also aware that what’s driving the entire thing is <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/corporate-profits#:~:text=Corporate%20Profits%20in%20the%20United%20States%20averaged%20646.04%20USD%20Billion,the%20first%20quarter%20of%201951." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">record corporate profits</a>, too. The last equity market highs were set just 7 days ago. But, hey, tax cuts for billionaires are where it’s at! Back to Phillip Bump.</p><blockquote><p>On Thursday, his push to be elected for a second term as president brought him to the Economic Club of New York. The organization prides itself on its sober, informed assessments of the economic and political worlds, meaning that Trump was already somewhat disadvantaged. His politics are not predicated on his grasp of policy but on appeals to the politically disaffected. His descriptions of how things are working are much more effective with people who don’t know how things work.</p><p>But the question that tripped him up, the one that launched a thousand criticisms and not a few memes, was one focused on something that he should theoretically have had a grasp on: child care.</p><p>“If you win in November,” a panelist asked, “can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable and if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?”</p></blockquote><p>Here is Trump’s entire answer, verbatim.</p><blockquote><p>“Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down — you know, I was, uh, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio [(R-Fla.)] and my daughter, Ivanka, was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue.”<br>“But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that — because child care is child care. It’s, couldn’t — you know, it’s something, you have to have it. In this country, you have to have it.”“But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.”<br>“Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s gonna take care. We’re gonna have — I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time. Coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country — because I have to say with child care, I want to stay with childcare, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth.”<br>“But growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about. We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as childcare is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in.”<br>“We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people and then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people. But we’re gonna take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about: Make America great again. We have to do it, because right now we’re a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question.”</p></blockquote><p>I know I have a doctorate in Financial Economics, teach it at the graduate level, and have worked in the industry during the Dark Reagan years, but really, as just a mother with that issue back in the day, WTF? This is one of those questions that every working family deals with and knows the parameters. This man stumbled through because he undoubtedly had children but didn’t have to think of childcare because wives and wealth. The answer was buffoonish and completely unintelligible. <a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/09/06/donald-incoherence-makes-the-medias-double-standard-hard-to-hide/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Digby says it all here at</a><em> Salon.”</em>Donald Trump’s incoherence makes the media’s double standard hard to hide. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris curiously don’t get the same coverage.”</p><blockquote><p>It seems like only yesterday that the elite media were extremely concerned that President Joe Biden had mistakenly referred to the president of Egypt as the president of Mexico. In the course of an otherwise cogent discussion of foreign affairs, he’d made that mistake in passing but it <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/09/us/politics/biden-memory-age-democrats.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">caused a huge uproar</a> and spawned yet another round of critical reporting about his age and mental capacities. No one in the press blew off the gaffe and the substance of his comments went virtually unreported.</p><p>That press conference came in the shadow of <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/political-scene/why-robert-hur-described-joe-biden-as-an-elderly-man-with-a-poor-memory" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Hur report</a>, in which the special counsel made a gratuitous comment about Biden being an elderly man with a bad memory. From that moment on almost every story about Joe Biden was framed in terms of his advanced age and the question of whether he was up to the job. The drumbeat continued for months until Biden’s disastrous debate performance validated the narrative and it continued until the day he withdrew from the race. No one in the media cut Joe Biden any slack for his performance.</p><p>Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been speaking nonsense and spouting gibberish on the campaign trail and the media is covering for him by pretending that his verbal incontinence actually makes sense or by ignoring it altogether. Yes, there’s been some mordant chuckling in the media over his bizarre comments about <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/14/why-trump-keeps-talking-about-fictional-serial-killer-hannibal-lecter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“the late great Hannibal Lecter”</a> and his meandering tales about <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/26/trump-shark-ev-boat-electrocution/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">electric boats and shark attacks</a>. Those stories are all delivered with a twinkling eye-roll as if to say “Oh that wacky Trump, there he goes again” as if it’s just a funny little anecdote, apropos of nothing.</p><p>And it’s true that he’s always done this to some extent. His speeches and press conferences are surreal windows into his undisciplined, puerile mind. Despite his regular protestations that he’s “like, really smart,” <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-fire-and-fury-smart-genius-obama-774169" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">he communicates at a 4th grade</a> level (the lowest level of any of the past 15 presidents going back to Hoover) and uses the same handful of words and phrases over and over again to cover for the fact that he never really has any idea what he’s talking about.</p><p>But Trump’s getting worse and the press is failing to properly report it. Over the past couple of weeks, the problem has gotten more acute and there has been very little recognition of it. Because political reporters have normalized his unfit intellectual and emotional characteristics for so long they’re just continuing to cover him as if they are perfectly ordinary even though he is rapidly deteriorating,</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/06/harris-endorsed-trump-murdoch-yelp-snap-ripple.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The good news is here at CNBC.</a> “Eighty-eight corporate leaders endorse Harris in new letter, including CEOs of Yelp, Box.” Looks like some business leaders want their business to thrive and not just their personal portfolios.</p><p>I’m hoping BB will really get into the weeds on this one, but I had to put the news about the Sentencing Hearing that was supposed to happen on Monday. T<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-sentencing-delay-hush-money-case-new-york/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">his is from CBS News, as reported by Graham Kates. “Judge delays sentencing in Trump’s New York criminal case, pushing decision past election.” </a> This is the hush money case in case you can’t keep them all straight like me.</p><blockquote><p>A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump’s sentencing date in his criminal case for a second time, allowing Trump to wait until after the election to learn his fate after his conviction in his <span class=""><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-trial-verdict-jury/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“hush money” case</a></span>.</p><p>Trump had been scheduled to be sentenced in the case on Sept. 18. His attorneys asked on Aug. 14 for his sentencing to be pushed back until after the presidential election, arguing that a delay is necessary to resolve ongoing legal challenges to his conviction.</p><p>Justice Juan Merchan issued an order on Friday delaying sentencing until Nov. 26.</p><p>Merchan wrote that he made the decision “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.”</p><p>“The Court is a fair, impartial, and apolitical institution,” he continued, adding that the postponement “should dispel any suggestion that the Court will have issued any decision or imposed sentence either to give an advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for, any political party and or any candidate for any office.”</p><p>Trump was convicted in May by a unanimous jury on <span class=""><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-charges-conviction-guilty-verdict/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">34 felony counts</a></span> of falsifying business records. Prosecutors said Trump signed off on a scheme to hide reimbursements to a lawyer who wired a $130,000 “hush money” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election. Trump denied the encounter and pleaded not guilty.</p><p>Merchan has wide leeway in determining Trump’s sentence. The charges carry a maximum sentence of up to four years in jail, but Merchan can also hand down a sentence that involves a variety of alternatives to incarceration, including probation. Most legal observers expect Trump to avoid jail time, given his status as a first-time offender and sentences handed down for the same crime in other cases.</p><p>Trump was originally scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, but that date <span class=""><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-sentencing-delayed-hush-money-case-supreme-court-immunity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">was pushed back</a></span> after he filed a motion seeking to set aside his conviction following a landmark <span class=""><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-trump-immunity-decision-opinion/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity</a></span>. The judge’s decision on that effort is expected on Sept. 16.</p></blockquote><p>News on his federal election interference case also became available this week. <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/tanya-chutkan-aileen-cannon-special-counsel-appointment-rcna169919" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This is from MSNBC, as reported by Jordan Rubin. “Judge Chutkan doesn’t find Judge Cannon’s ruling on Jack Smith’s appointment ‘particularly persuasive’ The judge in Trump’s D.C. case didn’t sound impressed with the Florida judge’s ruling. Ultimately, it may be the Supreme Court’s view that counts.”</a></p><blockquote><p><a href="https://www.msnbc.com/donald-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a>’s federal <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-election-interference-special-counsel-appointment-rcna169305" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">election interference case</a> is finally back in the trial court, where U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing Thursday mainly to discuss how to proceed after the <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/supreme-court-immunity-ruling-jim-crow-rcna160145" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Supreme Court’s immunity ruling</a>. But the hearing also gave Chutkan an opportunity to criticize U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/aileen-cannon-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case-rcna161879" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dismissal of Trump’s classified documents case</a> on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.</p><p>Chutkan didn’t sound impressed with Cannon’s <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/judge-aileen-cannon-orders-trump-classified-documents-read-pdf-rcna161906" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">July 15 ruling</a>, which cited Justice Clarence Thomas’ solo concurring opinion in which he<a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/clarence-thomas-aileen-cannon-trump-jack-smith-rcna161172" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> questioned Smith’s appointment</a> just a couple of weeks earlier in the immunity decision. Chutkan said <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jack-smith-seeks-streamline-trumps-appeals-election-interference-case-rcna169448" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Thursday</a>, “You have an opinion filed by another district judge in another circuit which, frankly, this Court doesn’t find particularly persuasive.”</p><p>Still, the Republican presidential nominee’s legal team is pressing the issue in <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-jack-smith-superceding-indictment-jan-6-election-case-rcna168502" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Washington, D.C., case</a>, alongside their immunity claims and other arguments. It makes sense for them to do so, even though there’s binding precedent in the D.C. Circuit that knocks down the unlawful appointment claim. While that precedent means that Trump is unlikely to prevail on the subject in Washington lower courts as he has in Florida (<a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/jack-smith-judge-aileen-cannon-classified-documents-rcna168242" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">so far</a>), it would be strange for the defense not to press the issue at this point, especially after a Supreme Court justice raised it.</p></blockquote><p>Evidently, the defense team considers Justice Clarence Thomas to be part of its team. The Judge was not amused. We’ll probably hear more analysis today and over the weekend on both cases.</p><p>So, there is certainly a lot going on right now. One bit of good news since polling will start being a little more relevant now. I just tend to see if there’s a trend vs. just random variation, which is normal in every data series over time. Emerson College Polling released this today. ” September State Polling: California, Florida, Ohio, Texas.”</p><blockquote><p>New Emerson College Polling/The Hill statewide polls find Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris by ten in Ohio, 53% to 43%, five in Florida, 50% to 45%, four in Texas, 50% to 46%, while Harris leads Trump in California 60% to 36%. Races in Florida and Texas are within the polls’ margin of error, while California and Ohio fall outside the polls’ margin of error.</p></blockquote><p>Here’s the take from <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865482-trump-harris-florida-texas-poll/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Hill</em>‘s Jared Gans. “</a>New poll shows Florida, Texas within margin of error in Harris-Trump race.”</p><blockquote><p>The results are a bit closer than what some other polling has found on the races but not completely out of sync with recent polls that have shown a tighter race in those states.</p><p>Not much independent polling from major institutions has been done on Texas and Florida since Harris became the Democratic nominee.</p><p>Winning either Florida, which Democrats had carried in 2008 and 2012 before the state voted for Trump twice in a row, or Texas, which Democrats have held increasing hopes about flipping blue in recent years, would be an uphill battle for Harris.</p><p>The <a href="https://elections2024.thehill.com/forecast/2024/president/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forecast model from</a> The Hill/Decision Desk HQ gives Trump an 83 percent chance of winning Texas and a 75 percent chance of winning Florida. But Florida is only rated as “lean Republican,” and some polls for both states have had Trump leading by single digits.</p><p>A Florida Atlantic University poll from last month had Trump’s <a href="https://www.faupolling.com/august142024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lead in the</a> Sunshine State at just 3 points, and a poll from two Texas universities had Trump <a href="https://uh.edu/hobby/txtrends/2024/#second" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">leading in the</a> Lone Star State by 5 points.</p><p>The Emerson poll showed Harris just behind Trump in favorability rating for the states. His net favorability rating was positive 2 points in both, while the vice president’s in both was negative 2 points.</p></blockquote><p>I just think it’s good news that both Florida and Texas are at play. The Harris/Walz campaign is covering rural areas and all bases in these now in play states. This NPR article is important if you’re still following the Arlington Cemetary debacle. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-s1-5101991/trump-campaign-arlington-national-cemetery-staff-debate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“Trump deputy campaign manager identified in Arlington National Cemetery dustup.”</a></p><blockquote><p>The two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump’s advance team.</p><p>Caporale is a one time aide to former first lady Melania Trump who left the White House to work for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis before returning to the Trump campaign. He was also listed as the on-site contact and project manager for the Women for America First rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021 where Trump urged the crowd to “stop the steal” before some of them stormed the U.S. Capitol.</p><p>After Trump participated in a wreath laying ceremony on the third anniversary of the deadly bombing at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members, Trump visited Section 60 at the invitation of some family members and friends of the fallen soldiers.</p><p>ANC rules, that had been made clear to the Trump campaign in advance, say that only an official Arlington photographer can take pictures or film in Section 60. When an ANC employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the two Trump campaign operatives, according to a source with knowledge of the incident. Picard then pushed her out of the way according to two Pentagon officials.</p></blockquote><p>I think the Trump campaign has basically let all the rabid dogs off their leashes and that the former “guard rails” have left the building. I imagine it’s going to get worse the closer we get to the election. I just hope the nation has had it with this nasty, incompetent, incoherent orange thing. Wow, this post is long!

This is a live issue in several of Donald Trump’s criminal cases. Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s response brief to Donald Trump’s argument that the immunity ruling should impact his New York verdict. Then, they remind us of Mark Meadows’ indictment in Georgia as part of the RICO conspiracy case. Citing the immunity decision, Meadows has now petitioned the Supreme Court to review the previous 11th Circuit denial to move his case from state to federal court. And lastly, after the High Court’s immunity decision, the DC January 6th case heads back to Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom later this week, where briefing will begin to sort through what is considered official, versus personal conduct.
