But Mrs. Clinton’s shifting and inaccurate explanations of her email practices at the State Department appear to have resonated more deeply with the electorate.

Last week, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, recommended no criminal charges be filed against Mrs. Clinton over her handling of classified information on a private email server, but he called her actions “extremely careless.” The investigation undercut many of Mrs. Clinton’s statements over the past 18 months to explain and defend her decision to rely on the private server at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

Oh come now, NY Times! What are some useful synonyms for "shifting" and "inaccurate"?

In the trivial matter of her email server ....

Get the fuck over it. It was nothing to begin with and it is still nothing now.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Tied in New National Poll Following Email Woes

Donald Trump has caught up to Hillary Clinton in a new national poll released Thursday, a month after trailing by six points in the same survey — an apparent reaction to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's ongoing email scandal.

The two presumptive nominees earned 40 percent as they head into their parties' conventions, with 4 percent saying they would vote for someone else, 7 percent saying they will not vote and 8 percent responding they were uncertain, according to a new New York Times/CBS poll.

Clinton appears to have been wounded by the continuation of her email scandal. In last month's survey, before FBI Director James Comey called Clinton's handling of classified information via private email "extremely careless" while deciding to not recommend prosecution, Clinton led Trump 43 percent to 37 percent.

The new survey found that 67 percent of voters say she is not honest and trustworthy, up 5 percent since the same poll last month before the FBI released its findings. Trump is also distrusted by a large number of voters — 62 percent — a number that has remained constant.

The number of voters who say they have a positive view of Clinton has dropped in the month since the last poll from 33 percent to just 23 percent. When asked if her email practices were illegal, 46 percent of respondents said yes, compared with 23 percent who said using a private server was improper but not illegal. And another 24 percent said she did nothing wrong.

Well, I'll have you know that today's Starbucks wi-fi sign-in poll had the Democrat at 69% and the Repub at 31%. I'm sure Trump would say it was manipulated by Crooked Hillary and Howard Schultz.

Yeah, that makes sense... (NOT)

Who care what the FBI says? Who cares what the Justice Department says? Let's just ask some voters!!!





Funny, I don't recall reading ANY poll(s) which asked random ordinary people about their opinions of the legality of ANY of Trump's YOOOGE list of way-more-than-"careless" activities (some of which have already resulted in findings of guilt and payment of hefty fines)--from the Trump University and Trump Institute frauds, to the sexual harassment of beauty pageant contestants, to the racial housing discrimination charges in the 70s, to the tenant intimidation charges in the 80s, to the ongoing Mafia ties, to the four bankruptcies, to the undocumented Polish construction workers, to the alleged marital rape of his former wife Ivana, to breaking New Jersey casino gaming rules, to Federal antitrust violations, to his refusal to pay many contractors, waiters, dishwashers, and plumbers who have worked at Trump projects....

Oddly enough, the Burger King-o-Meter showed Republicants at 69% and Demonrats at 31%. This is puzzling to many people

just that , econoline.

ask the voters.

that IS what we believe in, no?

hopefully stalin won t be counting the votes....

to paraphrase.... "it doesn t matter who the people vote for, what matters is who counts the votes....

are you done with democracy, econo?

do you prefer chaos and anarchy,..., or dictatorship...., or a one party commie type govt...., or , like jim, are you in favor of a military junta?

...I ll stick with a govt of, for and by the people, thank you very much.

let us restore it.

If a government "of, for and by the people" requires us to have to depend upon people like "Mr. Blowhard With the Bad Hairpiece" to lead us, I think we'd be better off to send a delegation to Buckingham Palace and respectfully ask Queen Elizabeth if she would be willing to overlook that bit of unpleasantness some 240 years ago and take us back into the British Empire.

Whether you subscribe to the lofty ideal of "government of the people, by the people, and for the people", or a government in which 'We the People' select "the best and the brightest" to act on our behalf, I think most people will still agree that Donald Trump does not fall into either category.

Its more important to the GOP to continue a purely partisan 'investigation' into a dead issue than to address Zika virus:

Zika is spreading. Congress did nothing. Here’s what that means.

With peak mosquito season here, fears of an outbreak of the mosquito-borne (and sexually transmitted) virus Zika in the United States are mounting.

Meanwhile, Congress has done nothing to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Lawmakers just went into a seven-week summer holiday without passing a $1.1 billion spending bill — first requested by President Obama back in February — that would have helped fund many prevention and preparedness measures.

Top health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health have been beating the drum for Congress to pass the bill to help the country prepare for Zika all year. But it came to naught Thursday when lawmakers left for vacation with no Zika deal.

What happened? Republican lawmakers added provisions to the bill — to reduce funding for Planned Parenthood and water down environmental controls on pesticide use — which the Democrats said they couldn’t sign off on.
Related The US doesn't have an emergency fund for health crises like Zika. That's a huge mistake.

To find out what the failure to secure more dollars to fight Zika means, I reached out to health officials in the federal government, as well as those working on the ground in the states likely to be hardest hit by the virus.

There are still no documented Zika cases originating in the continental US, but more than 1,300 travelers have brought Zika here from abroad. Meanwhile, nearly 3,000 people in US territories (mainly Puerto Rico) have acquired the virus locally.

Officials predict it’s only a matter of time before we see an outbreak here, particularly in the Gulf Coast states that are home to the Zika-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquito.

That means we’re also bound to see babies with microcephaly, the birth defect Zika causes, from cases originating here. By the CDC’s count, there have already been nine births involving Zika-related defects in the continental US, and there are more than 340 pregnant women with the virus.

"The risk of Zika transmission in the US will go up," said Ron Klain, the former "Ebola czar" who’s now general counsel at a venture capital firm, without additional federal funding. "Ultimately, that will translate into more babies with microcephaly here."

So if you vacation in Puerto Rico or the Florida Keys, or along the Gulf coast for some wonderful fishing, and bring the Zika virus home--blame Plannned Parenthood.
