…and you’ll absolutely believe what happened next: The New York Times reports that Nevada election officials checked all 185 of them and all 185 of them turned out to be US citizens.

Not a single one on that list. Even those of us who absolutely do allow that there’s always going to be a small number of illegal votes cast every year – while maintaining that the overlap between those votes and elections that are actually decided at margins small enough for such votes to be determinative is, in this day and age, like hitting a bullet with another bullet – might have believed it if there were some legitimately illegal voters on that list. Maybe even a few dozen.

But even more believable in this day and age is the stunning incompetence of the Trump Reich, failing even on their own terms at the kind of shit that’s supposed to be their brand. Dipshits.

Lib-coded cable network MS Now on Thursday reported their journalists’ access to the White House was restored just minuted ahead of a 12:30 PM EDT deadline imposed by DC Circuit Judge Timothy Kelly for the Trump Regime to respond to the outlet and its co-plaintiffs Politico and CNN’s charges that Trump’s team were actively defying the temporary restraining order imposed by Kelly.

Seconds later CNN reported the same. No update on Politico’s home page yet.

Turns out that the Trump Regime is simply just going to not obey a federal judge’s temporary restraining order and won’t be restoring the White House press passes to CNN, MS Now, and Politico reporters, the Washington Post reports, writing that “Some journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico banned from the White House by President Donald Trump remained barred from the grounds Thursday morning, hours after a federal judge ordered their access be restored.”

The outlets’ joint legal team just now moved for an emergency hearing, writing “Early this morning the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order directing ‘that Defendants (except for President Trump) and their agents, representatives, and all persons or entities acting in concert with them shall immediately return, reinstate, and restore the White House ‘hard pass’ press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked on or about September 18, 2026.'”

“This morning journalists from each of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO attempted to enter the White House and were turned away, and Secret Service agents confiscated the hard pass of journalists whose hard passes had not previously been confiscated. And when Plaintiff Betsy Klein, whose hard pass was confiscated on Saturday, September 19, requested to have her hard pass returned, her request was denied and she was refused access to the White House complex. And time is of the essence – CNN is scheduled to be the television pool this evening for President Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House. Plaintiffs reached out to counsel for Defendants this morning and requested to call the Court together. Counsel for Defendants has not responded,” the motion continued.

“The Ford’s Theatre Lie is just another example of how the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats conspire together to make up false stories about ‘President Donald J Trump.’ Shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday morning, the third such denial on his personal social network in just under 12 hours as it followed one from Wednesday night and then a second at 7:15 AM EDT this morning in which he wrote “The Dumocrats make up lie after lie. The new one is that I want Ford’s Theater named after me. That’s where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Who would want that? I don’t!”

“It is FAKE NEWS started by MSDNC AND CNN,” Trump continued in that second post, relevant because in the middle of that 12 hours stretch his own judicial appointee, DC Circuit Judge Timothy Kelly, had ordered the White House to restore those two outlets’ and Politico’s access to the complex. Kelly wrote in his ruling “that nothing in the record that predates this suit suggests that the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes was motivated by national security concerns. Certainly, that is not what President Trump said when he announced that he was ‘banning’ Plaintiffs from the White House – instead he focused on the alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity of Plaintiffs’ reporting.”

“And even the justifications provided to Plaintiffs after this case was filed are ambiguous about the true purpose of the revocations: while Defendants’ letters to Plaintiffs mention national security concerns, they purport to identify reporting that ‘threatened national security and/or spread falsehoods,’ leaving open the possibility that all the stories fall into the latetr bucket, rather than the former,” Kelly continued in the ruling which Trump has yet to respond to, even as his denials really seem to increase the credibility of the reporting on the Ford’s Theater renaming project.

The president did however find time to post “Midterm Fact Check: Don’t believe the economic doomers,” linking to a clip of Fox News propagandist Laura “Frau” Ingraham cheering fans up.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime on Thursday already lost the legal battle to keep CNN, MS Now, and Politico banned from the White House, with his appointee Judge Tim Kelly ordering the outlets’ access restored in the wee hours of Thursday, less than a week into the ban.

“The story that the White House, or me, want to affix my name to Ford’s Theatre, in Washington, DC, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, is a ridiculous lie. It is FAKE NEWS! Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place? The Dumocrats suffer from serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are Degenerates and Losers who make up lie after lie, and this Ford’s Theatre Hoax is just another of their never-ending, malicious falsehoods to try to discredit and demean,” posted convicted felon President Trump, categorically denying that he wanted to put his name on a specific publicly-owned DC performance venue associated with a president murdered by a madman.

Just going to go ahead and guess that the only reason he hasn’t actually tried to rebrand Ford’s Theater is because the Kennedy Center thing hasn’t gone his way and the Ford would probably be a tougher slog for him against whatever group runs it. Sic semper tyrannis, you fat miserable fuck.

No disrespect to Reuters. They have top-notch journalists and photojournalists… Their website’s an adware-bloated mess, so some disrespect there. But buying this instant classic pic would be a pain in the ass even if probably not actually that expensive and the text in the satirical thought bubble would’ve just gone in the text here anyway.

MAGA Evangelical podcaster Steve Deace – a “Blaze Media” guy whose paycheck gets signed by pink blob Glenn Beck – sounds depressed. Just read this tweet: “Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006. I slept on whether to share this publicly, because I don’t want to cause anyone to black pill. But this morning I ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there is still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country.”

Note that to Steve, “do something about it” means write and post a 469 word tweet.

“Because if the environment is this bad in my home state, where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can’t imagine where it is everywhere else. Whatever we’re doing or not doing in Iran/Hormuz has become a 2020 Covid lockdown level political albatross. This is approaching TARP bailout levels of unpopular in my home state. We are risking what’s left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control the legislative branch the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and the courts have already been doing. Not to mention what it will cost individual states like my own, which we have worked so hard to make so red these last 20 years (with Trump’s help).”

Worth pausing here to note that Deace doesn’t mention mail-in ballots which in itself is a reminder of how much the “election integrity” shit has trailed off in recent weeks. It’s almost like the MAGA propaganda machine is starting to realize that Dems may indeed win with “too big to rig” margins.

“Less than six weeks until Election Day, Democratic incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul holds a commanding lead over Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman with 58 percent of likely voters supporting Hochul and 39 percent supporting Blakeman, according to a Quinnipiac University New York State poll of likely voters released today,” says Quinnipiac polls in their Tuesday release.

Hmmmm… Yeah it might be kinda tough for the Trump-endorsed Blakeman to pull this one off.

“Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country, essentially unchecked and unvetted, and who are causing problems that will soon be too big to handle. It is a Liberal takeover that will end very badly. Already showing up in their numbers. Big unemployment.”

“Oh Canada!” posted the Leader of the Free World on Wednesday, laying out a comprehensive, multi-step plan to integrate the would-be 51st State politically and economically into the Union.

The numbers from this month’s national Marist/NPR/PBS Newshour survey are pretty goddamned grim for Republicans as the pollster found “53 percent of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for the Democratic congressional candidate on the ballot in their district than the Republican (41 percent). In May, the Democrats held a comparable 10-point advantage over the Republicans on the generic ballot question. Independents give the Democratic candidate for Congress a 25-point advantage, 57 percent for the Democrat running for office to 32 percent for the Republican.”

Once again, while this can seem overinflated and exuberant for the the Ds, keep in mind that last December in the Tennessee 7th special election that, at turnout that reached 99.3 percent of the 2022 Midterm for the same seat, the Dem candidate Aftyn Behn improved 13 percent over the 2022 Democrat. Thus a low double-digit national D+ margin is actually seriously realistic in November.

Marist separately found Dem Texas State Representative James Talarico up 50 to 44 percent over Picasso-faced sociopath Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Senate race. That’s probably a little overinflated and exuberant for the the Ds, but the final margin won’t really matter as long as Talarico wins by more votes than Paxton can get thrown out with all the ballot fuckery he’s no doubt already working on. Dem Gina Hinojosa leads Governor Low Energy Greg 49 to 46 percent in that race.

Yes, that Ford’s Theater, the place where Abraham Lincoln was fatally shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth in 1865. MS Now reports that Trump’s minions have named the site, owned and operated by the Department of the Interior, as one potential property for a Trump-based rebrand.

The only reason for the “possible” hedging in the headline is an editorial inference of the intent of 85 year-old registered Republican The Villages, Florida man Robert Donald Rice during his September 3rd visit to a mens room at Lake Minona Park in the vast golf cart maze senior community. The details in this Monday Villages-News.com article leave zero doubt that Rice is accused of expressing his perversions as the GOP-voting retiree is charged with a misdemeanor count of voyeurism.

It’s just that the specifics – a man entered a restroom stall for its typical purpose only to notice a “rather large hole” and through it spotted a senior with “very white hair” staring directly at him who then stood up to “adjust himself” before fleeing when confronted verbally – could indicate that it was all just a misunderstanding and that Rice had expected the man to have been aware of the likely intentionally-bored hole in the stall wall and its recreational uses for the local community.

From that perspective – pun intended – it’s sort of a faux pas on the victim’s part. Like the hapless motorist who stops at a highway-side park-and-ride lot to smoke a joint, take a brief nap, or both, who then reacts with confusion and perturbation to a smiling male stranger approaching to gently tap on passenger-side window with his wedding ring, there’s an argument here that the man could have sized up the circumference of the hole and made a quick calculation that it is not the product of ordinary entropy. None of this is meant to excuse Rice’s violation of the man’s privacy or to victim blame so much as conjecture about why Rice misjudged the situation. Perhaps there’s some unwritten code in which mean who are in the stall solely to relieve themselves are supposed to stuff the glory hole with a wad of toilet paper to signal their non-interest in an encounter.

Rice, who fled the scene, was finally tracked down by cops and cuffed at a traffic stop 10 days later on the 13th. He was released from custody on his own recognizance after posting $1,000 bond.

Convicted felon President Trump was obviously less than pleased to see CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the lobby of the United Nations, ranting that she “shouldn’t be here! You should not be here covering me. You said you weren’t going to cover me. You shouldn’t be covering me,” under the mistaken belief that kicking them out of the White House means they don’t have access elsewhere.

Someone then yelled “Be careful on the escalator,” referencing the meltdown the fat bastard had last year at the precise same moment prior to his address to the supranational body.

A new Marist College survey of likely voters in Iowa finds Dem Josh Turek leading MAGA Congresswoman Ashley Hinson 50 to 42 percent in the race for the seat being vacated by contemptible loser Joni Ernst’s retirement, whilst in the gubernatorial race – seen as more likely of a D flip than the Senate seat – other Dem Rob Sand is up 52 to 42 percent over Republican Zach Lahn.

The pollster also found that “41 percent of registered voters in Iowa approve of the job President Trump is doing in office while a majority of voters (58 percent) disapprove, 46 percent of voters statewide say their personal family finances have gotten worse in the past year,” numbers that aren’t all that wacky considering how it tracks with nationwide polling as well as the five stories a day printed by national media outlets quoting a struggling farmer complaining about diesel and fertilizer prices hurting them on top of the trade war fucking them out of access to this or that market.

A new report in ProPublica reveals that an FBI investigation into a cut and dry bribery scheme – in which a defense contractor had made a donation to scumbag Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins’ PAC in 2019 in exchange for millions in new contracts – was shut down in early 2025 after convicted felon President Trump returned to power and gutted the public corruption unit.

It’s kind of dense, but there’s one paragraph that can (mostly) speak for itself in summarizing what’s prooobably going to be a bigger problem for Concern Lady than a canvasser stealing an Amazon package off a voter’s porch: “Of all the politicians Navatek courted under [former CEO Martin] Kao’s leadership, Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered government contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping Kao and his network for donations, according to emails seen by ProPublica. Sometimes they cut checks within 24 hours of the annual defense spending bill, which funds military contracts, clearing a key Senate hurdle.”

Kao’s a convicted felon, having been nailed for, you guessed it, illegal campaign contributions.
