Not that. Nate Silver saying it make the GOP look very bearish, Texas insiders being flabbergasted, I just don't see why.

Trump told his audience of people who got free tickets to his rally because tickets to his rallies are free: "We've sold tens of thousands of tickets, and you know, at the sale prices, we keep it nice and low, but keep it nice and low."

Interesting development in Nashville:
Says the man who kept quiet during an election about Donald Trump being investigated for conspiring with Russia.
Says the man who opened his mouth during an election about Hillary Clinton being investigated for fucking nothing.
What this tells me is that at at least some point Trump was considering charging for tickets to his rallies.
Because I'm feeling assholish, if he's probably the only R capable of holding the seat, then that would be a Likely or even Solid D seat by their logic.
As long as it's not Carol Swain, who's essentially Trump in a black woman's body like Candace or Cubic Zirconia and Polyester, who got 21%(why), I'm happy
Jim Cooper's brother, a moderate Dem, vs a mayor who had to take over for the previous mayor, that could be why Briley was behind by 10

Obama's immigration record is something the moderators keep bringing up, not the candidates themselves. and it's a fair question. so spare me the "Obama got beaten up" crap. It's just a media talking point designed to fuel the "Dems in disarray!" narrative
Oh god, he cut funding for PBS and made a hairpiece out of Big Bird!
Seriously, what in the oversaturated fuck is with that color, is it the stream?
That was a wonderful post worthy of basically being enshrined.
But.
There's no way to condense that into a debate answer, even one on one, and have it come out right to a larger audience. It's too much explanation, which is great for an article but never comes across in debate. Which is a shame, but true nevertheless.
"The 1,500 people you reference weren't just college students getting high in their dorms, they were drug dealers. While I was busy taking drug dealers off the streets, you were having a photo op with a brutal dictator overseas that uses chemical weapons to murder children."
I'm sure they could workshop it.
Have most of these latest Republican retirements been relegated to Texas, or have they pretty much been nationwide? It just reminds me of the wave of retirements they had before the 2018 midterms. Hopefully this is them seeing the writing on the wall and getting out while they still can.
I don't know, she wasn't involved int he shooting, she didn't withheld any important information that could have help "solve" this case (scare quotes since I don't really believe anyone involved in that investigation wanted to solve anything). The DA and the cops were playing that game where they try to find shit to pin on people so they'll roll on someone, and she didn't participated well enough in their fishing expeditions for parole violations and criminal possessions.
So yeah, she perjured herself, but I'm really not seeing how justice or really anything was served by her being in prison. Outside the art from suffering angle, but like, there's a lot of people who can't sing who get caught in that shit.
Edit: oh and since everyone assume everything is partisan - I don't believe Kamla Harris was involved in any of that, I have no idea why she was in that clip really, I'm really just talking about the case.
Why didn't Meadows text Rick Santorum his thoughts on Comey?
The kind of mistakes Trump makes every time he opens his mouth are the sort of nightmarish shit that would haunt my nights for weeks they're so embarrassing
When Gary Johnson sounds like the only reasonable person in your party something has gone horribly wrong lol
Lol, where did this narrative that Ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi have a feud come from?
As far as I'm aware articles have noted they've actually had a pretty good relationship since Omar entered the House.
AOC is another story...

Kremlin state media / Russian Foreign Ministry put out a statement blaming the U.S.
Secretary Pompeo @SecPompeo
On Feb 2nd, 2019 the U.S. gave Russia six months to return to compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Russia refused, so the treaty ends today. The U.S. will not remain party to a treaty when others violate it. Russia bears sole responsibility.

5:03 AM - Aug 2, 2019
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987.
It banned missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km (310-3,400 miles).
But earlier this year the US and Nato accused Russia of violating the pact by deploying a new type of cruise missile, which Moscow has denied.
The Americans said they had evidence that Russia had deployed a number of 9M729 missiles - known to Nato as SSC-8. This accusation was then put to Washington's Nato allies, which all backed the US claim.
"Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Friday.
"With the full support of our Nato allies, the United States has determined Russia to be in material breach of the treaty, and has subsequently suspended our obligations under the treaty," he added.
Russia's foreign ministry confirmed the INF treaty was "formally dead" in a statement carried by state-run Ria Novosti news agency.
Back in February, President Donald Trump set the 2 August deadline for the US to withdraw if Russia didn't come into compliance.
Russian President Vladimir Putin suspended his country's own obligations to the treaty shortly afterwards.
----------------------------
In 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the treaty no longer served Russia's interests.
That happened after US President George W Bush, in 2002, pulled the US out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which banned weapons designed to counter ballistic nuclear missiles.
In 2014, then US President Barack Obama accused Russia of breaching the INF Treaty after it allegedly tested a ground-launched cruise missile.
He reportedly chose not to withdraw from the treaty under pressure from European leaders, who said such a move could restart an arms race.
Then last year, Nato supported the US accusations and formally accused Russia of breaking the treaty.
"Allies have concluded that Russia has developed and fielded a missile system, the 9M729, which violates the INF Treaty and poses significant risks to Euro-Atlantic security," a statement from Nato foreign ministers read.
The statement said the member nations "strongly support" the US claim that Russia is in breach of the pact, and called on Moscow to "return urgently to full and verifiable compliance".
Russia denied the accusation and President Putin said it was a pretext for the US to leave the pact.

As the US exits the landmark INF missile treaty, one Russian paper today says the treaty's collapse "increases the risk of a nuclear conflict & moves the world closer to war with all its catastrophic consequences." #ReadingRussia

Cool cool. We're all gonna die.
I had no idea it existed and I died when I saw it on GIS.
I bet you money that they tell him they cost $100+/ticket.
You and Manmademan should be hired by Kamala's team for debate prep.
Obligatory whenever the Libertarian Party is mentioned:
He is his own worst enemy. Can't handle the thought of being seen to make a simple verbal stumble or mixup up so much that he always doubles down on it to make it seem like he meant to do it, and he always makes himself look even worse.
There's definitely been some (additional) regression since 2016. I wouldn't be shocked if he just doesn't do any debates at all.

THREAD: Just two weeks ago, I spoke with @HurdOnTheHill.https://cnn.it/31bBaRG
On Thursday, he announced he wouldn't run for re-election.
On July 15, he told me: "I go into communities that most Republicans don't show up in order to take a conservative message."
2/ I read Hurd a quote from Joe Straus, the Republican former speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.
Straus said: "I think he is Exhibit A in Texas for what the future of the Republican Party needs to be."
3/ "What I like to say, I'm the face of the future Republican Party," Hurd told me just two weeks ago.
4/ "When you look at independents and conservative Democrats in the United States, they are concerned with the direction of the Democratic Party is going," Hurd said. "And our opportunity is to appeal to those folks."
5/ "My district, Hillary Clinton won by four points in 2016," Hurd told me.
"Yet I continue to survive and win partly because, you know, I try to have a message that is reflective of where the majority of the country is."
6/ "I'm the only black in the Republican in the House of Representatives," Hurd said two weeks ago.
"If the Republican Party in Texas doesn't start looking like Texas, there won't be a Republican Party in Texas.
"And I think that goes for the rest of the country."
