The role of the Media in shaping the information became convoluted. The news became a thing of the past. It is a team of fast talkers, well paid speakers who are told what to say and to make it good. NBC, CNN and others consider themselves journalists, fair and balanced. Fair to who? Balanced by what standard? Just a thought.
And on Sunday, Shortly after arriving, the crowd began chanting, among other things, “burn it down," police said in a statement. Some in the group lit a mattress
“Because it was not an immediate threat to life safety or structures, officers remained far back and did not engage,” police said. “Another mattress was added to the fire, as was some yard debris. The larger fire began to send lit embers into the air.”
Since Multnomah County has a burn ban in effect due to extremely dry conditions, firefighters came in to extinguish the blaze.
The national polls after the convention tell a pretty clear story. Biden is up by around 8 points. That's what the poll shows. The average, depending on how you compute it, has basically the same thing.
The matches what we saw in the CNN/SSRS poll that had Biden up by 8 points nationally and with a 5-point difference in the aggregate of the 15 closest states in 2016. That 3-point gap is what our poll also had last month.
This 3-point spread between popular vote margin and the true margin pretty much exactly what we saw in 2016. Clinton won by 2 points nationally, while Trump took Wisconsin by 1 point and with it the electoral college.
Now, we obviously don't know what the exact difference between the popular vote and the true margin will be in 2020. But a difference almost always exists, and it's quite likely that this cycle it will favor Trump.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and President Trump are once again at war, this time over the president's call for the government to review potential funding cuts for New York and other cities that have allowed "lawless" protests.
Cuomo told reporters that the president was now "persona non grata" in his home state, and would need an "army" to protect himself were he to walk down the street in New York City.
"Forget bodyguards, he better have an army if he thinks he's gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don't want to have anything to do with him," Cuomo told reporters, according to multiple news outlets.
It all about the money for our governor...
