Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign responded to convicted felon former President Trump’s cowardice over the debate Saturday, with Harris comms director Mike Tyler issuing a statement saying “Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience. We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”

The “happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to” part is a particularly nice touch. Both very firm adult-y and tenacious way of keeping the door open.

The mandate finally returned to her court after being throttled by the Supreme Cunts, DC Circuit Judge Tanya Chutkan on Saturday set a status conference for August 16 in Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s case against fat felon former President Trump over his failed post-2020 election coup attempt. Chutkan also denied another one of the fat fuck’s motions to dismiss.

“Former President Donald J Trump said late Friday that he agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept 4 in an event moderated by Fox News. If it happens, that would be the second presidential debate this election cycle and the first between Mr Trump and the new Democratic candidate,” the New York Times reported Saturday in the lede of an archived version of a story last updated at 2:09 AM EDT, headlined “Trump Agrees to a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept 4.”

Then in the current version that says it was updated at 8:48 AM EDT on Saturday, the headline now says “Trump Proposes a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept 4,” emphasis ours. There were no changes made to the lede, which still makes it sound like Harris and Fox News also agreed.

On one hand, the reporter, Simon Levien, must’ve been bleary-eyed and exhausted when he filed at freaking 2:09 in the morning on a Saturday (another page says it was first up at 12:57 AM). His LinkedIn says he’s based in the New York City area and is a “Politics Fellow” who started at the Times June after graduating from Harvard in 2022. Meaning he’s technically not even a “reporter” yet and we get why he would be stuck with a shit assignment like this one at an ungodly hour.

“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest. The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!” posted convicted felon former President Trump late Friday, “agreeing” again to a rigged debate on Fox News that Harris probably won’t accept, at least not before the ABC one.

Lol at the “conflict of interest” bullshit. He then continued with “As everyone knows, the Democrats have Unconstitutionally taken a Candidate, who was acknowledged to be defeated, and unceremoniously replaced him with a new Candidate. This has never been done before, and is a Threat to Democracy, but I am totally prepared to accept the results of this ‘coup,’ and replace Joe on the Debate stage with Crazy Kamala Harris. I spent Hundreds of Millions of Dollars, Time, and Effort fighting Joe, and when I won the Debate, they threw a new Candidate into the ring.”

“Not fair, but it is what it is! Nevertheless, different Candidate or not, their bad Policies are the same, and this will be strongly revealed at the September 4th Debate. I look forward to meeting and debating Kamala Harris on September 4th. This date is convenient and appropriate in that it is just prior to the September 6th start of Early Voting in the 2024 Presidential Election. I look forward to seeing everyone on September 4th, in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!”

• Donald Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists was predictably bombastic and explosive, but he accomplished what he wanted:  he needed to show his base he was still a racist, no matter how much he tacks in the next few months.
• ETTD:  Project 2025 edition.  It’s not dead, though.  It’s just mothballed until the next Republican dictator comes to power.
• Fox commentators called Trump “brave” for sitting for questions at the NABJ.  It wasn’t because he took questions he never answered; conservatives think you have to be “brave” to walk into a room of Black people.  
• Kamala Harris set a new record for fundraising by raising $310 million in July, and that’s still not enough to cover her opponent’s legal liabilities.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin voided the plea agreements for  al Qaeda’s planner of the 9/11 attacks Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and two of his accomplices that would have sentenced the trio to life in prison, the New York Times reports.  On top of overriding the deal, Austin also relieved the lawyer overseeing the case, Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier, of her role overseeing the prosecution.

With Austin taking direct management of the case, Pentagon lawyers can continue to pursue the death penalty for the defendants.  “I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” Lloyd said in the announcement.  “Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself.”

A new study shows people who were vaccinated for coronavirus experienced a 10% lower incidence of arterial thromboses, including strokes and heart attacks, 13- to 24-weeks after receiving the first inoculation, findings directly contrary to the myths spread by vax deniers, and it gets even better from there.

Per IFL Science, the study of anonymized health data from 45.7 million adults in Britain also showed that people who got second and third boosters further reduced their risks for stroke and heart attacks when compared to the unvaccinated–and that’s on top of the protection against the coronavirus.

“We studied COVID-19 vaccines and cardiovascular disease in nearly 46 million adults in England and found a similar or lower incidence of common cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes, following each vaccination than before or without vaccination,” one of the co-authors said in a statement. “This research further supports the large body of evidence on the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, which has been shown to provide protection against severe COVID-19 and saved millions of lives worldwide.”

The judge overseeing Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing is no longer overseeing his bankruptcy filing:  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane dismissed the case after accepting an agreement regarding the $350,000 in administrative fees Giuliani was required to pay the court to close the case, the Washington Post reports.

To pay the expenses, Giuliani will put $100,000 into an escrow account controlled by the creditors’ attorneys.  He’ll remit the balance upon the sale of one of his properties, either his Manhattan apartment or his Palm Beach condo.  His property will be liquidated to pay his creditors, including two Fulton County election workers to whom he owes $148 million dollars.

The dark lord himself on Friday broke it to Fox News fans that, in his view at least, Vice President Kamala Harris is surging and could soon find herself well ahead of convicted felon former President Trump in polling averages. Rove didn’t seem particularly upset to be sharing the news either.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes on Friday told 12 News that one of the defendants in her case against the 11 fake Trump 2020 electors and seven of the fat bastard’s minions, Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn, and Mike Roman has reached a cooperation agreement with her office, but did not say who it was.

Just going by past performance it’s most likely Ellis as she’s the only one charged for the plot in both Georgia and Arizona to have reached a deal with prosecutors in the latter state. Fellow fake electors conspirator and flipper Kenny Chesebro was not among those also indicted in Arizona.

Murderous teenage MAGA vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday reversed his undorsement of convicted felon former President Trump, tweeting “Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights. My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive. I’m 100 percent behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House.”

Trump’s campaign actually reached out to that fat little punk to get him to turn around, lol.

“President Trump has done more for rural Americans than any President and will continue to deliver for the people of this country, once we work together to ensure him a win back to the White House.”

“President Trump understands the critical role the United States’ rural and agricultural community plays in feeding not only its citizens, but the world. President Trump knows how important rural Americans are to powering the US economy. I am excited to continue working with our agriculture and rural leaders across the county, and I am proud to stand with President Trump to defend the everyday rural American against Kamala Harris and the radical left,” says a statement from the Trump campaign attributed to “Rural Americans for Trump Coalition National Chairman, 2016 Agricultural and Rural Advisory Committee National Chairman, Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Conklin Company Inc, and 5th-generation farmer at Herbster Angus Farms Charles W Herbster.”

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Herbster was Trump’s endorsed candidate in the 2022 Nebraska gubernatorial primary who lost after reporting that he was an Ashley Madison user (lol) and a serial female genitalia-grabber, with one of his accusers a sitting state Senator.

And if the group’s name “Rural Americans for Trump” sounds redundant, it’s because it is. Might as well be “Bees for the Queen” or “Socialists for Bernie Sanders” or “Incel weirdos for Ted Cruz.”

One of the best decisions I’ve made was picking @KamalaHarris as my vice president.

Now that she will be our party’s nominee, I couldn’t be prouder.

Funny how the Democrats can pull off a “coup” more successfully than the Republicans. All it took was the president letting go of his (not unwarranted) doubts about his second-in-command and doing the right thing. There’s still a hell of a long slog to go but considering what just happened and how much things changed so suddenly it’s hard not to feel good going forward.

A Grovetown, Georgia woman was arrested Tuesday after “simulating a sex act” with random cars in the parking lots of a PetSense, a Taco Bell, and a T-Mobile store, the Augusta Chronicle reports.

The unnamed 30 year-old woman, known to deputies with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office for her history of “irrational behavior,” was first approached in the PetSense lot at 10 AM on Tuesday after bystanders called about her screaming and car-fucking while waving around an empty plastic Starbucks cup. Deputies told her stop and warned they would arrest her if they got another call.

Two hours later they got that call. Witnesses at the Taco Bell location reported the car-fucker was back at it. Deputies arrived but she had already left. Then 911 got a call from the nearby T-Mobile about – yup – more screaming loud car-fucking. This time the Starbucks cup was filled with booze, which she poured on one of the cops and kicked him in the leg. The woman was booked on three counts of willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and public drunkenness.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s vote count in the still-ongoing virtual roll call vote to become the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee officially crossed the 2,350 mark on Friday, making her only the second female major party presidential candidate in US history, CBS News reports.

“I am so proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting on Monday,” said DNC chair Jaime Harrison on a call with Harris’s campaign. “Today is special, we can proudly say we will have the first woman of color at the top of a major party ticket.”

HOLY SMOKES! BREAKING! WOW! This is MASSIVE for Pod Save America listeners and several dozen other hardcore Democratic Party insider nerds: Politico Playbook reports longtime veteran Democrat guy – some would probably say he’s like a “guru” or even a “legend” – DAVID PLOUFFE is joining Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. That’s VERY BIG NEWS for some people.

Anything we can pick up to avoid giving into impulse and reporting “news” like the Hodge Twins telling Brenden Dilley to stop “sucking the [Trump] campaign’s dick” after Dilley responded angrily to the Hodges calling Chris LaCivita a clown, even if that’s more inside our comfort zone than the Plouffe guy. We’ve heard he’s a pro but he’s no Brenden Dilley… even if that’s a good thing.

“In a life otherwise devoid of accomplishment (eg dropping out of college, failing as a minor league baseball player, starting a series of sketchy businesses), your nominations by the Republican Party were signal honors, without which you would have never served as a member of the Georgia General Assembly or the Lieutenant Governor of this Great State. You repaid this debt of gratitude with a single, largely self embarrassing term in office as Lieutenant Governor.”

“As Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, I write to demand that you cease referring to yourself as a Republican. You are not one. Your lapses and failings as Lieutenant Governor alone are insufficient to forfeit your claim to membership in our party. But your desperate and ridiculous endorsements of Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris for President, coupled with your inexplicable opposition in 2022 to Burt Jones and Herschel Walker, not to mention your comical attempt to run for President as an independent candidate, are violations of the oaths of loyalty you repeatedly swore when you qualified as a Republican candidate for office,” writes Georgia GOP chair Josh McKoon in an open letter to former Lt Governor Geoff Duncan for the sin of endorsing Kamala Harris.

A new national survey of registered voters by Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 47 to 42 percent with brainwormed independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr in a distant third at 6 percent support.

This is not to be confused with “Rasmussen Reports,” the company founded by Scott Rasmussen that he sold off in 2013 to some right wing freak who just makes shit up to feed MAGA narratives.

We’re going to get a shit ton of “Who cares about fucking Catturd and Forgiatio Blow and Kyle Rittenhouse?!?” comments but this is too goddamned funny to leave alone. Sorry not sorry.

I knew these were coming soon – 😂

For how quickly they turn on their own for standing up for his murderous “principles” and walking away from an unreliable and demented scumbag of a leader. And no, that’s not “praise” for Rittenhouse, who by rights should be in prison for the next several decades at least right now, it’s simply acknowledging the root cause of all his “friends” turning on him so hilariously.
