Despite a compliant (obsequious?) MSM conducting 24x7 Trump bashing for much of June, Hillary Clinton has not managed to secure a solid lead in presidential polling. It's almost as though voters don't like her.

Five years ago The Williams Institute at UCLA estimated the number of transgender Americans at 700,000...0.3% of the population. That estimation was based on state-level population-based surveys from California and Massachusetts.

The Institute has released a new report.

As if anymore fuel needed to be added to the conservative fire that the Obama administration is simply unable to conduct an impartial investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private servers and emails while secretary of state, her husband decided to hold an impromptu meeting with the chief prosecutor in the investigation this week.

What the actual fuck?

"Unscheduled" my ass....

Why do I think this is complete B.S.?

Who just happens to pop onto the private plane that it hauling the AG that is investigating his spouse and just talks about golf, travel and grand kids?

This is shameless and outrageous...

My, my, my.

I occasionally go to Daily Kos to read if one person in particular has made either comments or recommendations. If there's a comment, I read it. If there's a recommendation of a diary, I just read the title.

While I'm searching the name, I do read some of the rec list titles and I noticed Markos is railing again about Progressives Who Are Not Falling In Line.

Take a look at this bit of innovative democracy:

With a little less than a month remaining until the start of the Democratic National Convention, a coalition of individuals and several groups has launched an effort to stop Hillary Clinton from winning the party’s nomination. Their goal: allowing pledged delegates at the convention to vote freely for the nominee and not be bound to to the former First Lady.

How a country’s officials deal with the permitting and policing of protest marches and demonstrations is of vital importance in today’s world, where the elites increasingly control the political process, as We the People have been betrayed by politicians of all stripes. Taking it to the streets remains one of the few vehicles left for the 99% to influence policy in a rigged system. It is a righteous weapon. It is an essential weapon.

Nico Lang has an essay at the LA Times: Being transgender isn’t a mental illness. What’s sick is a society that treats it that way

Attacking Obama, Kansas state Sen. Steve Fitzgerald:

You’re either male or you’re female, and it’s not changeable. It’s reality. Inability to deal with that reality, or to recognize that reality, is disoriented, and can be disoriented to the point of insanity.
