The junior senator from Rock City...

Buckle up for the next six months: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are effectively tied in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday.

With voters split along lines of gender, race and age, the presumptive Republican nominee and the likely Democratic nominee appear poised for tight battles in those states.

Sure Trump can win some of the big purple states, but win ALL of them? That's like being dealt a royal flush. Possible, but very unlikely.

What amateurs. It took the Trump campaign two days to come up with their 'straight' story about Melania's speech. To wit: Trump employee wrote the speech and included the MO lines, she didn't mean to cause the stink and she tendered her resignation, but The Donald gave her a gracious pardon, all's well now and can we please move along.

Dems/Clintons woulda come with a better story and in half the time.

And it took y'all 8 years to figure it out?

More hilarity from the Trump kiddie campaign: allow a Cruise missile to blow up Pence's big night. They mangled the VP rollout last week, and given a do-over...they screwed the pooch again.

Melania concurs. "At least he tinks!"

Good one

[Professor Tiger]

Has anybody seen Melania Trump and Sofia Vergara in the same room?

Figure what out? Brock's a known quantity, just like Hills, above the law and enabled by the media.

[Professor Tiger]

Yet 55% of the country supports both of them.

Still, you have to wonder if a crackhead would've (could've?) shot this guy.

That discredited infowars-like outlet, the New York Times, reports a study by an a Uncle Tom Harvard faculty researcher...

Surprising New Evidence Shows Bias in Police Use of Force But Not In Shootings

In other words, the BLM paradigm that America is replete with racist white cops who routinely shoot black men for no reason, is FOS.

[Professor Tiger]

This Uncle Tom researcher, as well as the NYT reporters who reported his findings, should join the WaPo pro-Bernie writer in the Witness Protection Program.

Interesting hypothesis in that story, btw. Minorities are shown to be a victim of bias in non-lethal situations by a huge margin - frisked, beat up, chained etc - but not so much in lethal situations. The author contends that the non-lethal stuff doesn't affect the LEO's wallet (through firings, suspensions, or demotions). Good find, prof.

Black people aren't allowed to help Autistic kids. It's in the book.

But it's OK that America is replete with racist white cops who harass, intimidate and unlawfully detain, beat, cite and seize the property of black men for no reason, as long as they shoot black men at an acceptable rate?

[Toemeesleather]

Are the Chicago homicide numbers acceptable?
