I’m not sure where to put this.  Salman Rushdie has been stabbed by an attacker while he was speaking in Upstate New York:

 

This is just like -- I just don't know!  Remember when Rushdie was Everybody's Hero, yes, even here in the USA YAY, when a fatwah was announced against him for his fiction?

Horsist monster!

Go with the deer, they are smaller and don't weigh as much as a horse. (a horse is 900 to 1200 avg and ponies 300 to 600 avg). With horses you need a backhoe and a hydraulic lift to put the body in the ground. Leaves too big of a footprint.

Not sure why this is the case, but Rasmussen has the highest approval ratings for Biden compared to many other polling orgs (mid 40s). Regardless, his approval has slowly ticked up to 40 in the 538 aggregate, so when we look back in time, maybe this was the point where things turned around for him.

"Biden's approval rating ticks upwards.  Here's why that's a problem for Biden..."

IheartIheartTesla -- it surprises me how some Uncle Joe supporters think 40 is low, when it's not (though, mid-40s, at this point, sounds a bit far-fetched). 40 in itself is respectable, and enough to get re-elected relative to the God Emperor. And didn't the majority hate GW Bush?

Dubya's approval didn't drop that low until Katrina - albeit he did get reelected with only 48% approval, which was the lowest since Truman.  Before Trump, 40% always was pretty bad, and in the history of presidential polling anything lower than 40 always meant something really bad was going on.

So apparently Trump leaked it earlier to Breitbart and neither he, nor they, redacted anything (including the names of agents serving the warrant) and as a result, it looks like Trump is being looked at for Espionage...just when you thought he, or his team, couldn't make him look worse...

He was already being looked at for espionage.  You mean he is looking at a potential additional count of espionage?

Looking at the Guardian story, this looks like the counts that apply.

Quote

Most notably, the search warrant granted by US magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart and approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland authorized FBI agents to seize materials that could form evidence that Trump violated the Espionage Act under 18 USC 793, and Obstruction, under 18 USC 1519.

This is the first confirmation the feebs are investigating him for violations of the Espionage Act.
