Convicted felon former President Trump backed out of yet another mainstream media interview this week, CNN’s Brian Stelter writes in his daily newsletter that, on top of the hit CNBC announced on air Tuesday that the fat bastard had fucked off from, Stelter’s “learned of another planned Trump interview that was suddenly scrapped. NBC News thought it had secured a sit-down with Trump to discuss the economy and other matters, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter.”

“The interview was expected to take place in Philadelphia on Monday and correspondent Christine Romans (a CNN alum) was set to be the interviewer, I’m told. But then it was called off by the Trump team,” Stelter continues, adding that “The interview was ‘postponed,’ one of the sources said, and NBC is in discussions to reschedule it.” All the luck in the world with NBC on that one.

We have no opinion on whether Vice President Kamala Harris’s light media schedule during the the first two months or so of her campaign was more of the risk aversion the MSM said it was or if they were just being whiny, entitled cocksuckers complaining they weren’t getting the access they demanded. Well there definitely was a lot of the latter, it’s just we can’t tell exactly where one ended and the other began. No such dilemma presents itself with Trump now though in the final stretch. He really is “in bubble wrap” the way the tickledicks in the horserace industrial complex said Harris was a month ago. His campaign’s first, last, and only mission every day is to shield him from the kind of clusterfucks that were the NABJ interview and the ABC News debate. Were another bad cycle on that scale to happen again at this point then The Narrative™ would call the election for Harris.

Under the cheeky headline of “Young Americans swipe left on Trump voters,” probably deliberately written to understate the self-perpetuating incel-dom of Gen-Z Trump fanboys, Axios “exclusively” reports that a Generation Lab survey finds 45 percent of women under 35 saying their opinion would change negatively if they’d found that their date had voted for convicted felon former President Trump compared to 39 percent of men saying the same. On the other side, 35 percent of young women saying they’d feel good about a Harris voter, compared with 28 percent of men.

Axios didn’t provide the gender breakdown of the anti-Harris dating set, but overall the numbers are 19 percent negative for her vs 43 percent negative for Trump. The positives are 32 percent for Harris overall to Trump’s 17 percent. “Not voting at all seems to matter less in the dating game than voting for Trump,” the normally GOP-friendly media outlet writes about his appeal to 18-34s.

A “person close to” Vice President Kamala Harris texted Politico Playbook to assess her performance in the interview-ish segment with Fox News’s Bret Baier on Wednesday, writing Harris’s mission was accomplished amid “constant interruptions and 20 straight minutes of attempted Fox-style gotchas, and she schooled him, shut him down, and got hits that Fox’s audience literally never gets to hear.”

“Even in difficult moments, Harris found a landing. When Baier played clips of Americans whose loved ones had been killed by an illegal immigrant and asked the VP whether she owed those families an apology, Harris showed empathy and admitted that illegal immigration was a big problem before pivoting to Trump: ‘But let’s talk about… an individual who does not want to participate into solutions,'” Playbook writes, plainly kind of disappointed that it wasn’t a trainwreck for the veep.

A new University of Massachusetts Lowell/YouGov survey of likely voters in Pennsylvania finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 46 to 45 percent. Harris holds a 5 percent net edge on favorability at 44/50 favorable/unfav to Trump’s 42/53 fav/unfav.

Taylor Swift is 45 percent underwater with GOP voters at 16 percent favorable to 61 unfavorable, lol.

The pollster also conducted a New Hampshire survey and found Harris leading the fat demented old fuck 50 to 41 percent, which is pretty close to Joe Biden’s +8 win in the Granite State in 2020.

BUSTED!!

Kamala was just caught using a teleprompter at her Univision town hall! Producers panic and turn off the prompter midway through her answer.

Why did Univision allow this?! This is egregious journalistic malpractice. pic.twitter.com/tH5Bh2clBx

Wow this was pretty damning last week even if you couldn’t see the text on the screen and discern whether it was in English or Spanish much less what it actually said, right?

There is pretty much zero doubt, the way Punchbowl News tells it, that spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan is angling for a position in House GOP leadership given his recent habit of handing out unsolicited donations to other members’ campaigns as well as asking if they want him to show up for them in person – since Jordan doesn’t have to campaign for himself in a district gerrymandered into a malformation that would make the 19th century German Empire blush.

“We’re going to win. I’m going to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. We’re going to use reconciliation to cut the taxes. We’re going to get back to common sense energy policy and we’re going to secure the border. While we’re doing all that, we’re going to be focused on protecting your right to ask me this question five more times,” said Jordan, non-denying his ambitions.

A Bangladeshi court on Thursday ordered the arrest of disgraced former dictator Sheikh Hasina over the deaths of protesters during the clashes that forced her exit earlier this year, the AP reports.

We’re going to ask you to watch this clip, because you must see the crowd’s reaction to Donald Trump.  Asked by a former Republican to justify his unlawful actions on January 6th and after he left office, Trump tries brushing off the violence and then, at around the 2:00 mark says, “Nobody was killed.  Ashlii Babbitt was killed,” a contradiction that brings a noticeable “Wha–?” from at least one audience member.

Along with telling the largely Spanish-speaking Univision audience that he didn’t like the Haitian refugees living in Springfield, Ohio because “they didn’t speak the language,” Trump was largely evasive and unimpressive during the town hall, as evidenced by the disinterested and skeptical looks in the crowd.

In response to a bunch of fuckery in the Red Sea and in Israel, US military B-2 “stealth” Spirit bombers struck Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen where they stored weapons used to target civilian shipping in the region, NBC News reports.  It was the first time the B-2s were used in the operation protecting shipping.

Donald Trump reportedly is trying to again pay porn star for her silence, Rachel Maddow reports.  Appearing on MSNBC’s All in with Chris Hayes, Maddow explains that as Daniels was preparing to settle the amount of legal fees owed to Donald Trump for lost defamation case Daniels filed, Trump’s lawyers wanted to negotiate Daniels’ silence once again.

In a strangely convenient fashion–like she was self-filming a documentary or something (no shade for the hustle)–Daniels filmed herself receiving a call from her lawyer, Clark Brewster, who told Daniels “they want to cut some kind of deal where they silence you.”  Daniels laughs, adding, “Don’t they know that shit won’t work?”

Daniels wired Trump the money–a sum totalling something near $600,000 when multiple suits and interests were added in–without signing another NDA.

The term “journalistic malpractice” is far too professional for what happened on Fox “News” earlier Wednesday evening; it was more like a category listing on Pornhub.  The network’s supposed “straight news” anchor Bret Baier demonstrated why I choose to use quotation marks with the network’s name.  Come to think of it, maybe “straight news” refers to sexual orientation targeted, not professionalism, because there was nothing professional about that interview.  Baier stopped being a journalist and embodied virtually every conservative news site troll who solely watches his network:  angry, ignorant, and ill-informed.

Kudos to Vice President Kamala Harris.  Although she had to take a split second after Baier asked various questions to suppress a well-deserved smirk, she handled herself with integrity and grace.  At times, though, her face went from concentrating to concerned as she repeatedly heard comments from a Fox “News” comment section pop out of the interviewer’s mouth. Baier made multiple, exceptionally obvious attempts to goad Harris into an insult about Trump supporters, Fox viewers or the network itself; they failed.

Pornstar Stormy Daniels on Wednesday told MSNBC that convicted felon former President Trump’s lawyers last summer tried to get her to sign another non-disclosure agreement in exchange for which they would nix a portion of the money she owes him for a civil case that was tossed a few years ago. Details are a little sketchy and hard to follow and we’re awaiting a real summary, but all of this was to stop Stormy from talking about him publicly before the 2024 election.

“Former President Trump is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential contest 50 percent-48 percent, according to a new Fox News national survey. That’s a reversal from last month, when Harris had a narrow advantage. Harris, however, is ahead by 6 points among voters from the seven key battleground states, and the candidates are tied at 49 percent each among voters in close counties (where the Biden-Trump 2020 margin was less than 10 points). Trump’s advantage comes from a larger share in counties he won by more than 10 points in 2020 (64 percent-35 percent) than Harris has in counties Biden won by more than 10 points (58-39 percent),” says the lede to the new Fox News national polling, we copied verbatim because the PDFs of the actual data doesn’t show anything with a “battleground state”-only crosstab so we don’t actually know what the head-to-head “battleground number” is, just that Fox News says she’s up six over Trump.

Again, it would definitely suck in the short term if Harris lost the popular vote and won the Electoral College. But in the long term it would probably actual spell the end of it. And be funny karma.

Faced with a customer irate over an incorrect order on Tuesday, an unnamed 34 year-old worker at a Philadelphia Popeye’s Chicken location used an escalation technique to resolve the dispute and get the rude guest to leave the premises: Stabbing the 28 year-old repeatedly in the head and torso, forcing him to run away and seek immediate medical attention, 6ABC Philadelphia reports.

“The 28 year-old customer had some sort of dispute with employees over a food order and began attacking and assaulting one of the employees,” said Chief Inspector Scott Small with the Philadelphia Police Department said of the altercation at the Popeye’s on the 6000 block of North Broad Street in the city’s Logan section – a joint known to be somewhat rowdy. “Other employees intervened and tried to push this 28-year-old out – back out from the front door. That’s when the 34 year-old employee getting assaulted and attacked pulled a knife and stabbed the 28 year-old.”

Cops say the employee is cooperating and has not been charged. The customer is being held at a nearby hospital in stable condition. The article seems to imply that he’s in trouble, not the worker.

A former Fox News producer texted Zeteo media reporter Justin Baragona on Wednesday to review Bret Baier’s performance in the interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, writing that the propaganda network’s “straight news” anchor “showed, again, he’s not a ‘straight news’ anchor. He’s a hack who’s no different than Hannity or Watters. He bowed to the pressure from his MAGA fans because he doesn’t care as long as they don’t change the channel.”

And yeah, probably. But that doesn’t matter. The one and only purpose of Harris sitting for an interview with Baier was to show she has the balls to do what convicted felon former President Trump won’t: Hold it together and even kind of thrive in hostile territory. Just her transgender prison care answer alone was a sledgehammer to the reality the network’s viewers live in.

Sorry if this is one right wing jackass streamer or another for a bootleg feed of Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview on Fox News. This is what we’ve got right now. Fox News doesn’t just put these online for free, even though they make tons of money from reverse mortgages, Patriot Mobile, Liberty Catheters, Ivermectin, gold and silver coins, and all that other shit.

You will not be shocked to learn that convicted felon former President Trump’s “all-women town hall” aired on Wednesday was in front of an audience of his fans, CNN reports, writing that Fox “did not disclose that the female audience it selected for the event was packed with local Republican supporters and the network edited its broadcast to remove some of their vocal advocacy of Trump.”

“I want to thank you for coming to a room full of women the current administration would consider domestic terrorists,” said one of them in a question that Fox edited out. “I proudly cast my vote for you today. I hope they count it,” she added. Fox News organized the event with local GOP groups in the Forsyth County, Georgia area where the “town hall” had been taped on Wednesday.

“Free Speech For People issued a letter today to US Attorney General Merrick Garland and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, demanding that they investigate threatening text messages, identify the source, and promptly take appropriate enforcement action against the perpetrators in order to protect Wisconsin’s voters.”

“Last week, thousands of young Wisconsin voters received a threatening text message: ‘WARNING: Violating WI Statutes 12.13 & 6.18 may result in fines up to $10,000 or 3.5 years in prison. Don’t vote in a state where you’re not eligible. STOP2END.’ It was distributed widely across Wisconsin, but specifically targeted young voters 18-25 years of age, including young staff members of the League of Women Voters and many voters across the University of Wisconsin system. It is not yet known how many thousands of voters received this message. Its sender remains anonymous.”

“Wisconsin law is clear: students who live and attend college in Wisconsin are allowed to choose whether to register to vote with their school address or their home address; and Wisconsin residents who attend college out-of-state may elect to vote absentee in Wisconsin. But now, while voting by mail is ongoing and one week before early in-person voting begins, students may be wondering whether their decision to vote in Wisconsin will subject them to investigation and prosecution – and whether the safest course of action is to avoid registering or voting at all,” says a press release from the Wisconsin League of Women voters on some fuckery in these Cheesehead State. The law only mandates that a voter have lived in the state for 28 days before voting and has for quite a while.

“New Texts Reveal Liz Cheney Communicated with Cassidy Hutchinson About Her Select Committee Testimony – without Hutchinson’s Attorney’s Knowledge – Despite Cheney Knowing it was Unethical,” screams the headline of the a press release by the House GOP’s investigation of the House January 6th Select Committee’s investigation – and a credibly suspected fifth columnist traitor who led at least one insurrectionist on a tour of the Capitol the day before, Barry Loudermilk, who says his minion have “obtained never-before-seen correspondence between January 6 Select Committee Vice-Chair Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson and in 2022, while Hutchinson was still a subject of the Select Committee’s investigation.” WOW! BIG IF TRUE, RIGHT?!? SO UNETHICAL!

“In the months prior to Hutchinson’s explosive private and public testimony, Cheney communicated with Hutchinson, both directly and through an intermediary – Alyssa Farah Griffin – while Hutchinson was represented by her attorney, Stefan Passantino. The Select Committee conducted six transcribed interviews of Hutchinson in total. Passantino represented Hutchinson for the first three interviews,” and this incredibly boring press release goes on interminably, at no point mentioning that the Passantino cocksucker – whose fees were being paid by some Trump PAC – had told Hutchinson not to talk about the steering wheel grab and the ketchup meltdowns.

Wondering what if anything is the point here. Like if this Loudermilk cock knob was just going to do it anyway, that’s one thing. And maybe it was – just to steal a brilliant line from Colin Allred simply more “angertainment” to feed the base. But it also feels like it was something he was keeping the powder dry on until Liz Cheney came out and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris thinking this was totally going to somehow sink her credibility as a Harris backer. If it’s the latter then goddamn this is fucking weak. “Unethical”?!? That’s a scare word for the Liz Cheney fanbase? Holy shit, lol.
