Immediately after being sentenced to five months in jail Thursday for his participation in the January 6th insurrection – and identified from video footage because he wore a jacket with the phone number of his house painting business on it – Ohio MAGA dumbass Troy Faulkner ranted about Jeffrey Epstein to a news camera crew stationed outside of the DC courthouse, NBC News reports.

“How about that Epstein island list? How ’bout that one? Wanna talk about that? Where’s the Epstein Island list?” said Faulkner, seeking some kind of W after taking the L in court.

A new survey by UMass-Lowell finds incumbent Dem Senator Maggie Hassan holds a 51% – 41% lead over MAGA dickhead Don Bolduc in the New Hampshire Senate race. Either they didn’t bother to poll or report the result of their own survey in gubernatorial contest, but it’s pretty clear from other polls and past results incumbent Republican Gov Chris Sununu will squash his Dem challenger.

What a perfect time to revisit that iconic cover of National Zero’s non-existent print edition and remember how just two years ago today was when the American people stood up and said “enough of this fucking bullshit” to the corpulent orange embodiment of malice, cruelty, racism, and greed that had ruled so incompetently and malevolently over the prior four years.

As his loyal foot soldiers have regrouped and reenergized for their assault on American democracy now is the time to remember the Spirit of ’20. Do not give in despair, do not give into misery, do not give in to darkness. We’ve beaten these sick motherfuckers with overwhelming turnout, now it’s time to show them we can do it again. Get out and vote, tell your friends to vote, tell strangers to vote, tell everyone on the internet to vote. GIVE EM HELL BOYS AND GIRLS!

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Thursday called emissary of Satan former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him on the recent win for the far right coalition, the Jerusalem Post reports. “The State of Israel is above all political considerations. I wish Netanyahu success for the sake of the people of Israel and the State of Israel,” Lapid said in a statement, adding he instructed all branches of his office to prepare an orderly transfer of power.

Data from the TargetSmart report, which is a combined count of returned ballots from states that publish the data for party registrants and a predictive model of voter affiliation in the states that don’t, puts Democrats ahead nationally at 50.4% of votes (14.8 million) to Republicans’ 39.4% (11.5 million) with the other 10.2% (2.9 million) seen as unaffiliated. Partisan split-wise it’s remarkably close to 2020 at the same point -6 days to the election, at which Dems held 49.5% of the vote to 40.0% GOP. In absolutes overall turnout so far is above 2018’s by about 1.5 million, and the GOP actually had a slight (46.5% to 46%) lead in early turnout at this point before the last midterm.

Now the caveats are this data isn’t perfect and that voters registered as or are predicted to be Democrats aren’t necessarily going to vote for Dem candidates. That aside, it’s hard to square this with all the polling results and horserace circlejerk in the MSM indicating armageddon for the Dems. Strategically this level of early turnout gives Dem campaigns and get out the vote efforts a huge advantage in knowing where to target in order to squeeze more votes out of people before or on election day. It leaves Republicans pinning all their hopes on a 12 or 14 hour window in which any and all sorts of shit can happen to their voters on an individual basis and assholes like Mark Levin soberly imploring fans on Monday to vote early despite widespread antipathy in MAGAmerica.

Speaking to some dickhead on “Real America’s Voice” on Thursday, fat former President Trump whined over Mitch McConnell’s dealings with Democrats on the debt ceiling and said “They ought to impeach” the Senate GOP Leader, who is not actually subject to impeachment. Only officers of the executive and judicial branches can be impeached, not Senators or House members. We thought we’d been over this when Trump and his fanboys called for Mitt Romney to be impeached back in 2019-2020 for not walking the MAGA line with Donald’s scandals. We were obviously wrong.

Incumbents lead challengers in the latest Spectrum News/Siena College survey of two pivotal statewide races in Wisconsin, with Dem Gov Tony Evers leading MAGA asshole Tim Michels 47 to 45 percent, and dipshit GOP Senator Ron Johnson ahead of Dem Lt Gov Mandela Barnes by the same total and margin in the never ending hellscape of political trench warfare in the Cheesehead State.

The four top 2020 election denier candidates for Secretary of State in battlegrounds aren’t doing so great even in the polls that show close races or leads for other Republicans in statewide contests, showing the limited appeal of the “fuck democracy, lol” platform spearheaded by QAnon influencer and JFK Jr impersonator “Juan O Savin,” the Washington Post reports.

The two with the best shot, insurrectionists Jim Marchant in Nevada and Mark Finchem in Arizona, trail their Dem opponents by 4% and 7% respectively in the most recent NYT/Siena College polls. Meanwhile, in Michigan, incumbent Dem Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson leads MAGA psychopath Kristina Karamo by nearly double digits. In New Mexico, MAGA candidate Audrey Trujillo trails her opponent by 15 points. Minnesota Secretary of State candidate Kim Crockett, who called the expansion of mail-in voting in 2020 “our 9/11,” is down 7% in the latest poll.

If Democrats really want to build voter confidence in elections shouldn’t they support voter ID, bipartisan observers, regular audits and 24/7 surveillance on all dropboxes—all commonsense measures to ensure that the process is fair and the votes accurately counted? #bidenspeech

An ally of Pakistani ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan said Thursday that the former leader has been wounded in a shooting at a rally in Punjab province, Bloomberg reports. “He is stable. The bullet hit his leg. He is being shifted to a hospital in Lahore,” said Asad Umar, former finance minister and leader of Khan’s party, told a TV channel. The former Prime Minister, expelled from office by the National Assembly earlier this year on corruption charges and last month barred from running again, has been leading his fans toward the capital Islamabad to demand new elections.

Probably owing to the last minute announcement of the speech, only six MAGA partisans managed to show up outside of President Biden’s Wednesday evening speech at DC’s Union Station to protest his pro-democracy message, the Daily Beast reports. The MAGAmericans present were members of the “1776 Restoration Movement,” the final remnants of the “People’s Convoy” clustertruck which fell apart before it really started causing chaos in the DC area earlier this year on the heels of the much more successful Ottawa anti-COVID vaccine clustertruck protest in Canada.

A majority on the all-Republicans board of supervisors in rural Pinal County, Arizona at a public meeting on Wednesday rejected a proposal for a full or expanded hand count of ballots cast in the upcoming midterms, saying they saw no reason to do more than the planned handful of precincts selected for a hand-count audit of machine tallies, the Associated Press reports.

Several locals were furious. “Over 200 years, we have had a hand-count in this nation of the people, for the people and by the people,” said MAGA did his own research guy Daniel Woods at the meeting. “All of a sudden we use machines and it’s no longer legal. That’s horse crap.”

The rejection in Pinal leaves similarly rural Cochise County as the only jurisdiction in Arizona pursuing a full hand count of ballots. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich last week allowed Cochise to move forward with the count as long as it accompanied a machine tally as well.

In an apparent reversal after several weeks of his and his close advisors threatening use of nuclear weapons on the battleground in Ukraine, Russian President appeared to blink in the glare of international condemnation,  NBC News reports.

The Kremlin released a statement reaffirming its commitment to its long-standing policy on the use of nuclear weapons.  “Russia is strictly and consistently guided by the tenet that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” said the statement on the Russian Foreign Ministry website, adding that the policy was unambiguous.

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has become bogged down or even repelled in some areas, pundits and some government officials have pushed for the use of nuclear weapons, with some politicians openly questioning the Kremlin’s use doctrine.

Sometimes, the moment speaks for itself, like the look on GOP South Carolina Senator and Donald Trump golf course personal ball washer Lindsey Graham as Trump advisor Sean Hannity cuts him off.

Tribal leaders announced a remote village school in southwest Alaska would be shut down until further notice after they banished the principal, and she and the faculty bugged out of town over the weekend on private planes, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

In a mess of jurisdictions, tribal leaders and tribal police went into Chief Paul Memorial School in Kipnuk to banish the principal, who was unnamed in the report, for an unknown reason.  Reportedly, the principal locked herself in her office after community leaders and tribal police searched for her at faculty housing on Friday.  Someone called Alaska State Police, who arrived by air the next day, only to be greeted by community members and tribal police blocking their access to the village.

After deescalating that situation, the state police investigated but found no laws had been broken.  The principal and all the teachers, who lived in housing provided by the school district, flew away from the town Saturday in two planes chartered by the school district.  The district is now figuring out how to remotely educate the scores of pupils it services.

I want you to pay attention to what frozen food heir and so close to Propaganda Minister he can taste it Tucker Carson is doing here:  he’s normalizing his audience’s craziness.  He’s telling them to bring up every single conspiracy theory and make them prove to you they’re wrong–not that you need to support the theory; they need to debunk it.  That’s what’s normal to Carlson, and if you don’t want to debunk everything to my satisfaction, you’re the liar.

“Everyone is free to ask questions about it and demand real answers.  If you’re coming out with some sort of crazy conspiracy theory about what happened at Nancy Pelosi’s house last Friday, instead of yelling at you or calling you names, telling you you’re a conspiracy nut–You’re Alex Jones!–just produce the police body cam!”

Federal prosecutors investigating disgraced former President Trump’s theft of classified documents from the White House following his humiliating defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 election have granted immunity to top minion and shitty children’s book author Kash Patel in exchange for his testimony, the Wall Street Journal reports. Since the great Mar-a-Lago raid on August 9th, Patel repeatedly publicly claimed that Donald had secretly declassified all the documents before he left office, only to plead the Fifth in testimony to a federal grand jury last month. Prosecutors had asked DC federal Judge Beryl Howell to force Patel to answer their questions, but Howell wouldn’t force Patel to testify without protection from his statements being used against him.

In the days after the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress attempting to undermine the Constitution and install Donald Trump to an unwarranted second term, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes composed a message to Trump urging him to start an actual insurrection, as evidence presented in the seditious conspiracy trial for Rhodes and other leaders of the group shows.  Rhodes crafted a doozy, playing on Trump’s constant feelings of being victimized and cheated.

This is Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers.  Army airborne veteran and Yale Law graduate.  President Trump, you can save the Republic by doing your duty as Commander in Chief.

Biden is an illegitimate Chicom puppet.  He is about to get his hands on nuclear codes and command of all our armed forces.

You must use the insurrection act and use the power of the Presidency to stop him.  And all us veterans will support you and so will the vast majority of military.

If you don’t then Biden/Kamala will turn all that power on you, your family and all of us.

You and your family will be imprisoned and killed.  Just like the Romanovs in Russia.  The czar and his family were promised safety, if he stepped down.  He did, and they were all murdered.

You and your children will die in prison.

Video circulated online shows a man affixing devices to a helicopter at a Russian military base about 1,000 kilometers from Ukraine just south of Russia’s border with Latvia, with satellite imagery later confirming at least three aircraft were destroyed, CNN reports.

The video, shot during the daytime, shows a man placing a package that appears to be an explosive inside a helicopter.  He checks a device that looks like a timer.  In the background, details identified the location as a military base in Russia’s Pskov region, about 35 kilometers south of the Latvian border.  A KA-52 attack helicopter is seen in the video.

A Ukrainian Defense Ministry announced a “powerful explosion occurred at the air base of the Russian Armed Forces ‘Veretier’ on the night of October 31,” noting that “as a result of mining, two Russian attack (KA-52) helicopters and one MI-28N were completely destroyed. Two more were significantly damaged.”
